Introduzione

If your Nintendo NES Advantage Model NES-026 joystick is stiff or has no range of motion, you may need to replace your joystick spring.

To replace the spring you will need to have another spring that is the correct size as well as a Phillips #0 screwdriver and a spudger.

When replacing the base of the joystick, be sure to line up the marks correctly or your joystick won't move at all when you reassemble your Nintendo NES Advantage.

The joystick spring ensures that your joystick has full range of motion, giving you the ability to move freely throughout your game.
