Many Problems with arcade sticks....

i was wondering if you may have some advice about my stick problems. Basically this is my second tvc stick, the first one i had worked for a few months and just all of a sudden became unresponsive, the buttons joystick and lights would not work at all
it happened randomly after i played the stick for awhile
it was still under warranty, so i went to eb games and i got the stick replaced, and just now the same problem happened again. I was playing tvc just 2 days ago and everything was working for fine, i spent a few hours in the training mode. Now i tried playing guilty gear and as soon as i got to the start screen it just died. I tried putting fresh new batteries in the wiimote but the problem was still not solved, and none of the buttons or stick were responsive in game or in the wii menu screen.

im thinking its something with the pcb, but im not sure if i should open up the stick and void the warranty, im gonna try to get this stick replaced for a brand new one again

On top of all this, i did have a mayflash converter, that i had many problems with as well. It worked fine at first but would sometimes need the usb to be taken out and put back in to make it work. This problem got worse as time went on, it became very hard to get the converter to work and if the wire was moved slightly it would disconnect from PC/ps3. Once it was working it would rarely stop though, so i left it plugged into my ps3 for a few weeks, and then after a finished a match against a friend, it just completely died, now it doesnt work at all. I now ordered the wireless mayflash converter hoping this model will do a bit better for me.

Im starting to consider just getting a brand new stick all together, i always really like the street fighter IV TE sticks, but my problem is I want something that will work for Wii/PC/PS3, tvc stick with mayflash converter seemed to be the best and easiest option but as you can see im having a ridiculous amount of problems with it.

If i want wii as well would my best option be to just get the new tvc stick right away, and replace the buttons and joystick voiding my warranty? Right now this seems to be my best option, im thinking of replacing the stick I have with a new one, and then getting new sanwa joystick and buttons for it right away. Should that solve my problems?
