The rubber tops of my Dual Shock 2 pad anolog sticks have started to spin. This has happened on both of my pads and sometimes can be quite annoying when your thumb slips off on GT3 when taking a corner to suddenly carrier into a wall.
This has only started to happen though since I got GT3, so does this mean i have been over playing or pressing down on the sticks too hard. Has anyone else got this problem? and can i get them replaced?

Well i dont know what they are going to say to you but if there not picking mine up and its only a pad so they will probally not pick yours up. Then again it could be where you live, i live quite far away from a big city, so maybe they just did not want the hassle of picking it up. If you live somewhere near a city then it may be different.

I could just make something up as long as you are sure that noone is going to come and collect it.I ll say somethign like the stick actually broke or something like that.

The rubber spins when pressure is added and it spoils my gaming. Erm and nobody else try this as they are going to get very suspicious when lots of people ring up with the same problem, well at least until i have mine as mine is a genuin problem.

The problem was that the rubbers on the anolog sticks began to spin when a little pressure was applied to them. However you might want to say something else. The number is in the back of any manual you get with a game, but here anyway:

08705 99 88 77

When you ring though be prepared to have to wait, and listen to the worst music i have ever heard, classical, no offence to any lovers of it on this forum.

If you ring up every day then they will probally get suspicious, but trust me, im not lying, they do not want my faulty pad. Quote Mr James of technicle suportt
" Ok we will send you a new pad to the address you have supplied, you can either throw your old one away or keep it"


I await my new pad.
