I do not understand your problem with disabling the gamepad. Some minutes to wait, download some programs. What, is it difficult to reset the power by pressing the latch in front and lowering the batteries down for one second? Everything shuts down and no problem. Whoever suddenly creaks sticks, well, it was a wired case, disassemble, carefully lubricate the friction points of the stick levers on the sensors with a small drop of machine oil, forget about the problem.
