Analog Joystick Potentiometer Sensor
The failure is localized to the resistive carbon tracks inside the potentiometer. Over time, the wiper arm wears away the resistive material, causing 'noisy' voltage signals or dead zones. Replacing the sensor discs within the green or orange housing restores accurate voltage-to-position mapping.

3D Analog Joystick Module (14-Pin)
If the internal centering spring or the plastic gimbal mechanism has weakened or snapped, the stick will not return to the electrical zero point. Replacing the entire soldered module ensures both the mechanical centering and the electrical resistance are restored to factory specifications.

Xbox Wireless Controller Circuit Board (Main PCB)
In cases where desoldering the module is not feasible or if the PCB traces have been damaged by previous repair attempts, the entire internal logic board must be replaced to resolve persistent input errors.
