  Sounds like the encoder needs to be either cleaned or replaced.  Some of
these come apart and can be salvaged, while others can't.  If you can find 
out
the kind of encoder you need you should be able to get it from any big
electronics place (the name of the one in the UK escapes me at the 
moment...)
To give a perspective on price I bought some for my Xpander and they were
something like $4 US each.
