Is it the D-Pad or the Joysticks?
tall wraith
I don't need to cuz I know, every time I click down on d-pad it always scrolls down without me touching
I can't even do anything with it happening
So this is my only controller
west kernel
Alright just needed to double check
tall wraith
I'm not smart with computers so I need help
I don't want to take it apart
Because I don't trust myself
west kernel
So it would seem that something in your controller is causing it to keep thinking you are holding down on the D-Pad. If you don't trust yourself to take apart your controller there are other ways to get help with that. There are professional people who take apart controllers with care. I'm not the greatest with fixing things but I would maybe try updating it and seeing if that helps. If you spilled smoothie on it some of it could've gotten inside which is causing the malfunction. Josling it around could help too.
Is it just the down button? Or does it do the same with the other directions?
tall wraith
Down button

So yeah I assume there is something under the case

We do not tell people to disassemble their devices here. It is against the rules.
west kernel

Can I claim a warranty at Walmart for the controller
west kernel

tall wraith
So I can claim the warranty even though I bought the Xbox
west kernel

You'll have to check the model and see how long the basic warrenty is on it
tall wraith
You'll have to check the model and see how long the basic warrenty is on it
So just call Walmart
west kernel
The Xbox series x came with a controller

The one that came with the console?
west kernel
The warranty is the same on the console and the controller
tall wraith
So no worries?
west kernel

My friend is having me put tiny drops of alcohol in the crevices to see if that helps
west kernel
12-month warranty
tall wraith
Every 10 minutes
west kernel

tall wraith
Would that help? What I'm doing
west kernel
My friend is having me put tiny drops of alcohol in the crevices to see if that ...
honestly I wouldn't mess with it too much
The warranty only covers accidental damages or faults
At least I believe that is it
tall wraith
I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question but when I claim the warranty Am I able to choose a different color
I've been stuck with black and white for a long time
west kernel
I hope this doesn't sound like a stupid question but when I claim the warranty A...
No I don't think you will.
tall wraith
The warranty only covers accidental damages or faults
I only put a couple drops, not much
I'll stop then
I think I have another controller somewhere but that has stick drift
west kernel
I've been stuck with black and white for a long time
B&W is sick whatchu talkin about
tall wraith
Is there a way to fix stick drift
west kernel
Honestly none I can talk here
tall wraith
B&W is sick whatchu talkin about
I have a matte black controller The first controller ever had was white
tall wraith
Honestly none I can talk here
Why can't you talk about stick drift here
west kernel
Black and White not bad colours
tall wraith
Is that a forbidden rule or something
west kernel
Why can't you talk about stick drift here
no about self repairs
west kernel
There's no external way to fix it?
Honestly we all wish
I'm not sure if updating the controller will help in the Xbox Accessories application
But it's worth a try
tall wraith
I don't understand how an Xbox controller update would help a smoothie spill
Could you help me understand that, I'm not trying to sound rude I just don't understand
west kernel
Everything is mostly mechanical so it's the inner workings at play when they get faulty
tall wraith
Do the gears shift in there when you upgrade it
west kernel
I don't understand how an Xbox controller update would help a smoothie spill
it's the only thing I can think of that can be talked about here
tall wraith
But how does that work
west kernel
Do the gears shift in there when you upgrade it
it just turns the controller on and off
tall wraith
I understand that but how does that fix a smoothie spill
west kernel
The one way to fix stick drift that I can say here is to just not use that controller for a while (6-8 months)
worked for one of my controllers
I'm not entirely sure if I helped but I hope something was useful. The safest path you would want to choose is the warranty path
tall wraith
My mom probably doesn't give 2 craps if my controller doesn't work
I may not have the receipt but I have the box, for the controller would that work
I think
@west kernel
west kernel
honestly it might
but im not sure
do you still have all the stuff that was in the box
like any papers?
okay the box has the SN on it
west kernel
Do you see a white rounded corner rectangle on it?
there should be a barcode and the SN
tall wraith
Wdym
west kernel
it'll be on the bottom of the box
tall wraith
Is that on the outside of the box
west kernel
bottom
oh well this one is talking about the controller itself
oh perfect it lets you check it there
west kernel
https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/controller/controller-warra...
