- My friend has the following problem with his Lynx II:
-
- The joypad seems to be tweaking left every once in a while. It started off by
- doing it really infrequently, and was only a problem in games where it was
- important to stay facing right when you needed to be, but now in any game the
- character wanders rather quickly to the left of the screen. It used to only
- happen after I'd been playing for 10 or 15 minutes, but now it starts up almost
- immediately. Once I took off the little rubber thing under the joypad that
- has the contacts in it for the buttons, and the problem stopped, but it could
- have been coincidence. (It wasn't acting up that much back then.)
-
- Any suggestions would be greeted with much thanks and shoe-licking!
- (Helpful suggestions, that is.)
