Hey guys,it's me,Michael RD cool Have you ever thought that the whammy bar on your Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitar controllers wouldn't go limp but they go limp anyway(and after the duration of the warranty)?Here's how to fix the whammy bar without sending it for a repair or fixing it yourself with screwdrivers or anything like that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTYBQgPSEUk
(Sorry for the crappy quality.And NO,I didn't make the video.It's just a random video I found on YouTube)
This worked for ME,and I know it'll work for you,too cool

Thats pretty ingenious despite being a rather simple fix. I know I had to do a similar thing back in the days of the Sega Nomad when the power plug wouldn't fit in properly (probably because it wasn't touching the sides in the plug that would transfer power. Simply said, a well placed rubber band fixed the problem rather nicely. biggrin

Thanks! Rock Band has been a major pain on my whammy bar and it broke, on all 4 of my guitar controllers! So now I don't have to send it in. Got in way to fix the drums?

My advice is to NOT BEAT ON THEM SO FU**ING HARD! You ain't Vinnie Paul!

LOL I know it's hard not to, but do try!

But screwdrivers are fun.... It's not like you can void the warranty or anything if it's already expired, too, but I guess not everyone's a mad mechanical genius...

You've known me for long enough to KNOW I'm NOT a mechanical genius.

@ HBot: I didn't beat on them that hard, they just stopped working....
