The orange rubber thingy on the joystick has popped out. I've tried squashing it back in, but to no avail. You guys got any suggestions?

You could try sticking it in the freezer for a cuple of hours to shrink it then pop it in and leave it in a warm room for another cuple of hours!... Other than that I dunno!

lol.
Same happened to me about 2 weeks ago.
Self-fixes that work are aparentely based around melting a glue stick and using the glue as the new insert, because no ammout of glue will keep the middle bit in properly due to the space thats available for glueing.
If its still under contract, just do what i did, and give up, get your provider to send you a replacement.
