Scroll function on controller stopped working

Hello,

Hoping someone has had the same problem, with solution of course.
Then scrolling function of the center console controller stopped working.
The knob still functions in the push up, down, left, right and enter modes.

Any ideas? JustAnswers told me to do a soft reset by disconnecting the batteries
and then hold the two battery leads together for a few minutes.

Thanks,
Mike

The centre shaft in the control unit has broken. It's a known fault that happens four years after the build date. It's fiddly but easy to fix.

Don't buy a new controller as it will cost a small fortune.

Thank you

Scott,
Thank you for the very detailed video on how to fix the broken controller shaft.
A little bit of work perhaps, but after I acquire some of the tools I don't have
(pick tool, lithium grease, etc.) I will try to tackle this.
I'll let you know how it turns out following your instructions.
Kind regards,
Mike McCarthy
