Introdução

This guide does not help you replace the plastic Directional Pad (D-pad), only the rubber contact pad that is a component of the D-pad. The contact pad lies underneath the plastic part of the D-pad, and it is responsible for making the D-pad function. Any issues that you may have with your controller's D-pad will normally be a direct result of a faulty rubber contact pad.
