My controller is (potentially) broken. I need to fix it immediately.

My Gamecube Controller's left joystick started acting weird last week, but it was only for a short period of time, now its completely faul. So earlier this morning I was practicing for a tournament on Saturday, when my left joystick decided to get drunk out of nowhere. Note that I play on Dolphin emulator.

When I move the stick up or down then bring the stick to neutral position, the input doesn't go back to neutral but stays. As I said this only happens when I move it up or down, so moving the stick horizontally works just fine. Flicking motions especially mess with the inputs.

Edit: bathed it in rubbing alcohol will test out tomorrow

Hopefully cleaning with rubbing alcohol helps. Report back when you test it out. I dont have any other suggestions, so I'm interested to see if it works.
