Got a new Gorf in... beautiful game.

Was working perfect, then all of a sudden wont go left or right.

I did degauss the monitor... not sure that would affect the controller?

It is an original controller that does not have leaf switches... seems almost optical.

Anyone have any idea where to start with this?

Any help at all.
Thanks


PS goes up and down fine
 
Over the years, I've had quite a few of those optics go bad. Could also be something on the main board (less likely), or a bad/weak pin in the harness (more likely).

I think it is the optic... now to see if I have one, or where to find one.
Thanks Edward
 
I had a problem with mine going up and down. I cleaned off the optics and reflowed the solder on the optic pins and it fixed the issues. Can't hurt to give that a try.

I had a simialr problem. When I let go of the controller the ship would move to the right. Cleaned and reflowed the optics and everything worked correctly.
