The joystick on mine was a bit unresponsive so just used your guide & seems to be working a treat.

I give mine to service centre under warranty. They change the joystick switch (couldn't take photo since they need to claim it to SE) and it all well again under 3hr for free.
Edit: it is the fifth pic in the first page
Those who still got warranty is better to use it. It is our right anyway.

I tried it, it worked beautifully, and there is no way to scratch your phone doing just use some super small scissors and you'll be fine.

Why Not? Those JoySticks really end up pissing people off if they can't get them repaired..at least they have some hope of bringing sanity back into their life.
I nearly went mental when my K700i started doing it. My K700i keypad went dodgy, so stopped using it. I've since got a known working KeyPad, so am going to give this trick a try on my old phone.
Hope my K810i doesn't go the same way

The method described by the first poster does work.  It's quite easy to take the cover off and adjust the four plates. My down direction joystick didn't work well (missed half the time). Now, after the fix, the down direction only misses 10% of the time. Have fun. |

fortunately my joystick haven't gone wrong even once after 11 months...i love my k800...
although i've already tried this method,didn't do it completely,i was just curious,so i pulled out the cover,interesting,lighting is more impressing without that cover keys

Thanks conzepth for this great guide.
Although I haven't tried it (only got my phone for less than half a yr and it's still working fine), this method seems simple and practical, exactly what I'm looking for

actually, i can do the first 4 process without the need of scissor.
just use your fingernail to open the cover gently....
then make sure there's no scratch made on the softkeypad and joystick cover.
then i just cleanup everything up there, and put all in (soft keypad) except the joystick cover. it's good now, althou it looks ugly.
but at least no scratch in my phone at its 8th month.
(like 1st poster pic number 2, after thorough cleaning at the area.)

I fix SE joystick based phones by cleaning the module with a non-staining liquid(mixed it with an alcohol) that and later on sealing it around with something to prevent the dust to get inside it i've dont this 3 weeks ago up to now my joystick never becomes irresponsive

@ijaljail
actually nail also become handy because its not sharp and "you carry it everywhere" 
i wonder how much is the joystick 'cap' price in SESC cause mine is no longer scratchless at the edge. anyone knows?
