Guitar Hero World Tour PS3 Controller Question...

Does anyone know where the tilt sensor is situated in the guitar controller? Is it the guitar body or the neck?

I have a problem with the guitar i got with guitar hero Metallica - the tilt sensor is stuck on so whenever i get any star power it instantly gets used.

I know i can turn it off etc etc, but was wondering if i could free it some how?

Cheers

I believe the tilt sensor is in the body of the guitar but not 100% sure on that,

There is also the tilt button on the Guitar controller in between the start and select buttons which you can use if you don't want to tilt it, maybe it's that button that is stuck or your hitting it as you play which is causing the issue.

I have hit the button by accident myself on a couple of occasions while playing.

I know about the star power button and im not hitting it while playing. When holding the guitar normally as soon as i light up 3 blue lights star power gets activated as if guitar thinks it is being pointed up in the air.

If i knew which bit inside guitar was tilt sensor could use a volt meter to see if was stuck on or not, then see what could do to solve problem.
