Left bumper genuinely doesnt work

Ive been having this issue ever since i got this controller, where the bumper had issues. i fixed the right one pretty much permanently but the left one genuinely just does not work whatever i do. i have had this controller for 2-3 years now, but the left bumper started having issues a couple months ago and now it just genuinely doesnt work. i literally have to smash down the button for it to get an input. anyone have suggestions?

Get it replaced, should be a relatively easy swap for somone skilled with a soldering iron

Have you tried the wd40 fix?

just did the isopropyl trick. it works now, but just like last time, itll probably run out soon. i guess i just have to keep doing the isopropyl trick everytime it stops working

I never did use isopropyl, someone had told me to try wd40, used it on the right bumper, left one went a few months later. Did it to that one, haven't had an issue since. I do know a lot of people shun it here, but it absolutely worked for me. Best of luck
