Need to open wii controller - sticky buttons

[snoopy3525]

Hey folks, my friend accidently spilled a little juice on the A button and now once and a while if I don't use it for a day, the button sticks for a few moments. So basically I want to open it up and clean it a bit.

What triangular screwdriver can open this controller? I'm assuming this stickyness won't go away unless I clean it out because it's really annoying now, Thanks!

Does anyone have any suggestions to clean it somehow?

just wipe the A button with a damp cloth or something. i wouldnt open it personally.

Good idea, I'll do that a couple of times over the next couple of days. Any other suggestions if that fails?

 

[Byuakuya]

try using an earbud which is slightly damp to wipe around the edges as well. so that all parts are sticky-free.

on nintendo.com or the manual it says to get a clean toothbrush and put it under some luke warm water. ring it out so its not a **** load of water on it. then scrub around the edges and the cracks around the button. then let dry for a couple hours.
