My controllers are really old, and sometimes the buttons don't respond to when I press them. In order to get the controller to work again, I have to hit it against my hand really hard. Is there a permanent solution to solve this problem? Is it dust in the controller or something? Should I take the controller apart?
Thanks!

Could be dust or a loose wire. They are easy enough to put back together again, so you might aswell open them up

I actually found out what the problem was...But I kinda can't solve it anymore.
I put in a two player game, and I tried out two controllers as the second player. They both worked fine, showing that the problem is the actual first-player controller port. Well, Trans-Brutha and I took the system apart, and we thought we put it back together right, but I guess we were wrong.
My SMS is now broken. It does not receive power anymore! :-(
I'm gonna have to buy a new one on eBay.

You sound like me, take something apart and make the problem worse. Leave the technical stuff to the geeks, just do what you're good at..........posing, ooooohhh hot stuff baby

Hey, guess what. My SMS works. TransBrutha and I were using our NES' power cord.

You should give Transbrutha a Rat Cake to celebrate.
