Is my HAPP Perfect 360 shot?

Hey everyone, just a quick question on my Happ Perfect 360.  Before when it was in its original Soul Calibur 2  cabinet it seemed to work fine.  However, now it seems to want to trigger the down command intermittently. 

I have it hooked up to an ipac4 and have tried different "ports" on the ipac.  When looking at the winipac program, it will show that joystick registering the down command.  Then it will stop the down command, then back on.  Its off and on and random.  I have tried stripping the cable and redoing the connection, even went bare wire to the terminal end.  Once I unplug the wire from the down terminal of the joystick, winipac stops showing it being used.  Hook it back up and after a few seconds it will show it being registered again.

Also when I hit the start button in windows, the windows search fills up with its keyboard command "P".  So it looks like PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP etc etc.

Am I right to think the joystick is shot and I need to replace it?  Any suggestions on what to replace it with?  As of right now, my CP has 2 U360, and 1 Perfect 360.  Just need a joy to replace this one if it needs to be replaced at all

Thanks everyone.

Ugh. That's a photoelectric stick, so there's no switches per se.

Any chance you might have spilled something in it? Maybe the sensors have gotten dirty or dusty. Might be worth a shot to open it up and just blow or clean it out.

I can definitely say that nothing has been spilled on it as long as it has been in my possession.  Who knows when it was at the arcade before I bought it. 

I will take it apart tonight and have a look see.  I assume it comes apart after I unscrew the 4 screws on the bottom of the round part?

Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure how much you'll have access to, but if it's acting up anyway, you'll end up trashing it so where's the harm  ;D

The sensors are likely in that bottom part that the wires connect to, so the question is can you get into that part readily without destroying it.

There is only one way to find out haha.  Like you said, its already acting up so worst case scenario is I buy a new joystick which I already have in my head anyways. 

Thanks for the help drventure.
