Chosen Solution
So I bought a used xbox one and the controller it came with has a jammed A-button. It isnt sticky or anything. It is just stuck there and wont come up. Is there a way to fix it? Preferably without opening it.
Twist it, rock it, glue the end of a screw driver to it, and pull.
Open it up, clean the button, as well as the Controller Conductive Silicon Rubber Button Pads ABXY with Isopropyl alcohol. This will solve the problem
18+ non-gel-based alcohol or the American Fix All: Wd-40. I don’t own $59-89 controllers. I’d rather go Virginia Wolf than spend that much even if it had an “Old Fashion” interface. Don’t use gel (hand sanitizer)! That’s like using J-E-L-L-O mix). 90% isopropyl can clean without eating your gear!
