Atari Joystick PCB repair
« on: March 21, 2009, 08:06:11 PM »
I won't have the money to order any for a while so in the mean time...

...instead of replacing the PCB on my Atari Joystick, is there some way to get in there with an extacto knife and fix one of the connectors that is nearly flat at this point?

I saw that, but ironically  have to wait a few days till I have that much money...

...just had car repairs.

 Anyhow, thankx, looks like that is the best route in the end.
