Hi! sorry if ever I break a rule but im new and english isn't my main language so sorry for any typo.

 

Anyways, here is the situation, i have a wii u zelda windwaker edition for about 10-11 months, i took good care for my console and make sure its in good conditions, but for the past few months my wii u gamepad analog stick suddenly started to have slow responds (I make it go left, it doesn't respond at the instant).

 

Now this morning after my little sister got off my wii u, i went and played COD: BO2 and a new big problem happened, and its only for the left analog stick, when i turn it in any direction the camera starts sliding (it keeps turning then slows down the suddenly stops). This never happened before and im getting very worried.

 

For the first problem i don't know if its natural, but the second I know its abnormal, please help!

If you are lucky its just something stuck under the analog. 

 

If its under warranty I would send it for repair.

 

looks like its much easier to replace the analog then on PS4 controller in which case might as well buy a new controller. Left: http://tinyurl.com/lwuskng Right: http://tinyurl.com/q6u4qom

 

Problem is the left analog with pcb board is sold out.

Just to be sure, try using the analog stick on any other games you have. Maybe the issue is just a glitch with the game?

I don't think these are problems with the actual controller.

 

As far as your second problem - In black ops 2 there are a few bugs. One of them I've noticed is if you move your analog stick while the game map is loading you'll turn in circles and won't be able to stop. if you are on a menu you'll scroll through the menu uncontrollably. You'll have to switch to a different controller then switch back to fix it. I've experienced this numerous times and it seems to be tied to moving the analog stick while the game is loading. This could be what's happening to you. Next time it happens try switching to a different controller then back to the gamepad and see if it fixes it. 

 

Also, your first problem sounds like game lag that's related to your TV. Play windwaker for a minute on your gamepad screen only - off of your TV, see if it lags. If it doesn't, then it's for sure a problem with your TV. Have you turned your TV to "game mode"? My TV will lag as you described if I'm not in game mode. Check your TV's settings. Also, what TV are you using? if you are using an older TV or a cheap TV it might not have the specs to keep up with the console.

 

If these don't work you could try resyncing your gamepad with the console.

Ok so 2 things i want to note. 1. i meant the right analog stick is having the big bug and 2, i tryed cod ghost and monster hunter, the problem is their, i bought this wii u at a best buy with 3 years warrenty for any situation. Oh! and i tried the off tv mode to see if it was just tv lag but no, its also on the  gamepad, im thinking its MOSTLY hardware problem. My tv isn't really old, hd, made by sharp and its LED i think, very good one.

Hmm sorry that's bad news. I have no idea what it is then. I think all you can do is call Nintendo customer service and see if they know what it is. Be as specific as you can about what's happening. If they can't help it looks like you'll have to send it in for repairs. I'm sure it's covered by the warranty - worst part is you'll be without your gamepad and maybe console for a while.

:laugh: Ok I have good news. I did a test with my pro controller, i used it in cod and it worked well so i was 100% sure it was the gamepad. So i tried resync but it did nothing. So my last solution was to open and check inside the pad, i unplug and repluged the wite that conects the right analog to the motherboard and after putting it back togheter it fixed the problem, its even work better then ever! I did a last test and saw that my tv DOES have a slight lag, on the pad everything responded imidiatly. Thank you all so much for your help. I can say its a good first experience with being in a forum. Thank you alex and cranky kong!

Glad you fixed it! Although I think you should have sent it in for repairs instead of fixing it yourself because opening up the gamepad like that probably just voided your warranty. In any case glad you don't need it anyway. Hopefully you put the thing back together so nobody can tell it was opened...just in case you need to send it in for repair some time down the road.

Glad you got it sorted out, I'll keep this in mind when I see someone with the same problem. Cheers
