Broken DS3 Controllers

Both my DS3 controllers have issues with the buttons, is there anywhere that will repair them? they work just not like they use to.

Gonna have to ask the obvious here but what are the specific issues?

sorry was just about to give some more details...

They work as though they're sticky, nothing has been spilt on them and I try to keep them clean and dust free. A couple of the buttons just stick and you have to keep pressing them to get them come back up.

Does sound a bit odd. Perhaps it might be better if you contact the place where you bought it from and taking the matter up with them?

Only issue ive had is the l2/r2 springs crushing (there weak and flimsey). Disected some old floppy disks for the springs and they work nice in the ps3 pad. more tension too and less likely to crush.

This is a white import from asia so not going to get far that way unfortunately

Does anyone know somewhere I can send this to be repaired?

On the subject of broken DS3 controllers Ive got an issue with mine.

For some reason it switches off while gaming (perhaps at the worst times ever) and I have to press the PS button to get it to reconnect. My 6A is totally fine and doesnt suffer the problem.

Im hoping its not a BT issue (my headset seems ok)...
