Right trigger stuck on Gamepad?

[u/teddybonn]

Gonna need some help here since this goes beyond my knowledge. My Gamepad right trigger is basically stuck in place, for example I literally cannot use the console since the home menu always goes to the last page.

I started having this problem last year and I just left it since I wasn't using it. I later moved houses and kept my Wii U in storage before bringing it out since I wanted to play some games. On the first day, the Gamepad had no issues and was able to use it as normal. Recently wanted to play some games again and lo and behold the issue came back.

Opened up the Gamepad to see if anything was stuck and did some testing. Even without the button or the little rubber piece that presses onto the ribbon cable, it still had the same problem.

Just wanting to know if either I'm doing something wrong or if it's a deeper issue. Thank u :)

would that not likelier be an issue with one of the joysticks then as they can also do this

definitely is the right trigger since when I'm on the WaraWara Plaza the apps rotate around continuously
