I would just buy a new controller my friend. Stop shelling out money to keep the ones you have. Controllers die out, dude!

Take it back to the shop if it is under warrantee. Don't mess with it and destroy your warrantee.

Do you mean it the analog stick turns left or it turns left in-game?

Hey i bought my controller from gamestop brand new for 60$ and after 8 months same thing happend to me. I think it happend because i tunrned the ps3 off incorrectly and i corrupted some data , i could fix that dat because the data corruped was those files for recognizion of the "X" button. To restore it you will need a PS3 Dvd/Bluray controller to go the XMB and restore using that controller.

you might need to change the battery, you can order them. here is amazons http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aps3%20controller%20battery

Ok I found out the simple problem and solution. It is the black foam strip that is right in back of the terminal strip fight by the lights once you open the controller. A piece of black foam is supposed to be underneath the clear strip in order for the controller to turn on and function. Adding paper or bundled tape helps the issue of buttons acting up if you press down on L3 as well. Check out this video it gave me the epiphany - It also helps when the buttons malfunction , this is why I opened it to begin with . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cnXHaHw1qA&feature=related

Id say get a new one, you may be abled to get it fixed but it will cost money and tons of time. Buying a new one is smarter

then unplug it and wait for a couple of mins and if that dosnt work then you need a control

Hey there I have used a "SMALL" amount of baby powder, its non conductive so you dont have to worry about static...just rub a bit around the edges of the buttons depressing them as you go. Work it in and blow off the excess. Try that its a quick fix i have used in the past. anymore problems with it answer back. Hope it works for ya
