GameCube controllers are hard to find in my area. So when my 2 controllers broke I was quite a sad monkey. But then the great idea of making one out of two came to mind. The easiest to repair is the one with the z button broken. So I soldered off the button box then exchanged it for a working one. The thing is the z button still doesnt work even though it now clicks. I think I messed up the board with the heat. Is this possible if it's not actually burned? Or maybe I had to solder it in a special way? Anyone gifted in electronics that can help me?

Never opened one, and I've yet to have any of mine fail......they're pretty sturdy.

I can probably help, if you can provide pics of everything in question.

I'm going to unsolder the parts and take some pictures later today. Thanks for the reply.
