..Without taking it apart? I'll keep it short & sweet..My GCN controlls have been having problems with button sticking,and sometimes,my L-triggers would activate by themselves without them being pressed(Possibly from continueous L-canceling).

So i want to now what i can do to fix this problem.Even if i have to take the control apart...

I havent done it myself but I remember seeing in a nintendo manual on keeping your hardware in good shape that you can actually clean them with water and a toothbrush. I guess the brustles get in the grooves and help clean it out. just make sure you let it completely dry before you use it. let it sit for 4 hours +, or overnight to make sure

water and a toothbrush is what I've also seen from nintendo. Most people just go out and buy new controllers though, and getting a triwig screwdriver (from ebay) shouldn't take much longer than asking online and then formulating a plan of action.
