Challenge with New Delivery: Left Stick Hardware Lock


  • Hi everyone,
     
    I wanted to share a technical challenge I just ran into with a brand new ModdedZone Xbox Series X controller that arrived in the mail today.
     
    Straight out of the box, the controller was completely unusable. Menus and the main screen were automatically scrolling and glitching without me touching any inputs.
     
    To diagnose the issue, I opened up the MZ Titan App on my phone and went into the Modchip Input Monitor. As you can see in the attached screenshot, the Left Thumbstick Y-axis is completely locked at a maximum hardware value of 100 while completely untouched in the neutral position.
     
    The physical stick isn’t moving forward at all because the internal chip/motherboard is continuously flooding the system with this maxed-out signal.
     
    Has anyone else run into a factory hardware calibration/solder bridge error like this right out of the box? I have already reached out to support via email to initiate a Defective on Arrival (DOA) warranty replacement under the 14-day window. If anyone has tips on this let me know!
