I had this pad for a month now, doing heavy and using my shoes on it.

There's a pic.
Anyone have any idea of what is wrong? should I get a replacement or should it be cleaned or what?
Actually now that I think about it, the arrow does work, you just need to step really close to the metal square in the middle. >.>
I'd appreciate if you could reply, thanks ^^ _________________

probably the contact area near the middle of the arrow is worn out...you can do some aluminum foil repairing (won't last long), or just train yourself to step closer to the edge of the arrow. besides, doing that helps with doing fast songs that require stamina. |

A type of metal pad. They suck, apparently. I've never played on one, but judging by what the people here say, I don't want to. |

Well somehow no one said this but this is by far the most obvious. Open it up and make sure the soldering didn't come apart. If this is like my old pad the soldering will be right were you are steping when you say it works. My thesis is that you're connecting the broken soldering when you step there, but not when you step on the outside. |

It's working fine for me, and that's all that matters since I don't get the chance to go to the arcade much. =/ _________________
