 Top left is the micro-joystick which serves as both a spring and the sensing element. when re-assembling this must fit perfectly into the plastic, and be perfectly clean.

 Because of these problems, a few "one nub" units were made available to people who wished to accept one and skip the queue. The faulty nub is not covered under warranty for these units. Reports<sup>[http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54073-the-one-nub-club/]</sup> suggest that many of these were reasonably functional, and problems relate to either the calibration process or dirt inside the nub. There is a risk that these nubs might fail with extended use. Soon after the first units were shipped, 100% testing was arranged for the nubs by the supplier and OpenPandora Ltd. (This applies to units shipped after July 27,2010 which are expected to all start with known good nubs)

 Push them up, down, left, right to the edge, then let go of them so they spring back by themselves.
 i.e. push up, as far as it will go, then let go (it must spring back). Do that for each direction. Then do some circles.
