Problem

The controller does not work or game characters move on their own.

plugging in the controller.

you turn the Power Switch of the Control Deck to the ON position.

Make sure the controller plug is firmly plugged into socket number one (on the left side

of the Control Deck).

Problem

Controller buttons occasionally stick.

Solution(s)

Clean the buttons on the controller using the following procedure:

Disconnect the controller from the Control Deck.

Get an unused toothbrush and hot tap water.

(Do not use boiling water or any type of soap or detergent).

Dip the toothbrush in the hot water and shake off the excess, then lightly

scrub the area of the controller where the button(s) stick by working the

bristles down around the sides of the buttons and into the cracks.

After cleaning the controller, use a towel to dry it then let the controller

air dry for at least 2 hours.

Test the buttons to see if they are still sticking and repeat the cleaning

process again if necessary. (Do not pour or submerge the controller

in any type of liquid.
