This guide is very helpful to all the users of PS3 as this is commonly occurring problem in the gaming console controller. This quick fix can save people a lot of money from not sending controller to PS service station for repair. I really liked how detailed each step is described with proper instruction and to the point. The tools you used liked toothpicks and cotton swaps, are also some of the things which are easily available at everyone's house and there's no special need to go to market for it, which makes the fix much more easier.
