Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul controller - Image 1All rocked out in Guitar Hero III yet? The game's just been released, and some of you might be abusing your guitar controllers already. Now whether it's due to wear and tear or a factory defect, here's a simple fix that could possibly make your controller woes strum away.

After getting a Les Paul guitar controller for Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock for the Xbox 360, sicknasty413 found out that the yellow button didn't work. The forum poster has a couple of pics to guide you through the quick fix process. All it requires of you is a Torx driver; it involves a simple readjusting of the PCB connecting the fret board and the guitar. Simple enough, yes?

Is this a common problem? It's not looking good if it is, that's a problem with both controllers on launch now.

yeah...

it's because of the detachable neck... I suppose they thought it'd help when you packed it in a backpack...which i'm sure it does....but it also creates a flakey connection between the buttons and body...and a little bit too much rocking can make things loose.....
