So I opened it up to replace the little foam pad like he did in the video. And two wires just completely snapped off the board.

Hard to find a good working ps3 controller nowadays. Do you know any aftermarket one that is almost as good?

Love how you can still see the markings on the foam from the Atari 2600 repair.

I love that your videos are not only incredibly enjoyable, relaxing and even educational, but they're also allowing you to build up a nice collection of things that you can enjoy and use.

Always love watching you fix controllers to give them a second chance to be used. Keep working hard

This man is so good, he can even restore my faith in humanity. 😂

Restoration of white devices just hits different.

Yes, I discovered the random presses issue by chance when one of my controllers went crazy. I replaced the foam with the modern foam that comes in the package of modern electronics with is more dense and sturdy and filled the gaps on the plastic placement in the case to prevent it to deform in the future.

Finally, the return of ASMR that I fully enjoy at midnight

i have been following you for quite a while now and i must say that i typically find restoration videos to be quite messy and boring but your content is so easy to follow because it is well paced and well organized, i especially love when you restore gaming consoles and their controllers, tysm for your hard work! keep it up!

Not to complain but the vids for the A1 are everywhere, guides for disassembly for the controller are exclusive to A1 as well, even Ifixit

I so greatly admire this kind of work. It's really inspired me to try my hand at this sort of repair, and so far I've managed to fix a couple controllers from the N64 i've had since childhood! I have a lot of fond memories associated with that console, so it felt good to be able to preserve the parts that mean something to me. Thanks so much for all you do :)

These videos are so satisfying 😂 I actually learned a couple techniques and tricks from watching these and applied them to my life like the Qtip with rubbing alcohol for cleaning

I never get tired of your videos, I always enjoy them a lot! :)

I love to watch your videos. Those aren't restoration videos based on one and the same scheme of accidentally finding something, cleaning with water and changing 99% of parts. Your videos are true ones, and satisfying at one time.

3:47 Wow,even the inside of the controller got yellow. It looks nice and clean now!

You're so careful and delicate in your movements it baffles me. I would love to not lose my patience while doing that as you do. Dualshocks can be pretty tricky.

5:52 is what we came to see! Love the de-yellowing part!

Hey OddTinkering! I lover your videos! You inspired me so much that I bought the screw driver set and repaired my ps4 slim. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!

Dude! The PlayStation Home! That brings me back.. Nice video as always OT!

Thanks for doing this. It's great to see how cleaning and repairing and restoring classic things.

He is the best KZread fix-it guy you can ever watch. I really enjoy this guy's stuff without needless talk or other miscellaneous garbage. He’s just good. When I go to retro shops all over Japan Tokyo. I see a lot of these old retro game councils and when you see something that looks too mint condition it’s because they use the retro brightening system to restore to the plastic's original condition as new.

When I take stuff like this apart it never goes back the same lol great work as always

Your videos are very interesting, I like the videos of fixing white and beige products the most as the retrobright process is my favourite part

Since discovering your content, I have been pretty much glued to the screen.. i´ve tinkered around some with electronics & soldering before, but seeing the results you´re getting when cleaning & servicing these gaming consoles really inspired me... I´ve modified consoles myself every now and then but now I am eager to take on the real challenges, basically blowing new life into those pieces so many would just have given up on... will scout my local charity shops for cheap and free dusty old gear and get to it this christmas...it just looks so goddamn satisfying what you accomplish time after time..

I love watching you bring electronics back to life, I hate seeing consoles die.

I love to watch these keep up the good work man😀👍

It's not ok how much joy I get out of watching these. Lemme know if you ever want to do another Game Boy Advance. Found my old one that means a lot to me, if you were thinking mods or anything you wanted to try ;)

Your videos are seriously next level, keep it up!

I had the same problem with random pressing buttons. I had no idea it could be because of the piece of foam. I tried it out and it worked. Nice. Thank you very much.

Missed you! Thanks for sharing this❤❤❤❤ hope to see you soon!

an upload from you always makes my day. big love! x

Thanks bro, i just fixed my ps3 controller where the circle button was not working. You just made it seem simple.. although ,the parts are very wobbly and delicate.. .. thanks to you again.. my ds3 got some life back

As soon as you started removing the motor, I was just thinking, "NO DON'T DO IT! IT'S A TRAP!!!" And while the foam does degrade, I also use a fine metal polish to gently bring back the shininess on the contacts on the ribbon cable, then clean both it, and the carbon pads on the board with iso. Might start adding new foam now though.

Another fantastic job by you and the Ducktor!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Once again excellent restoration video, Odd! :D I especially loved that scene where you've shown that you have an official "Battery Graveyard", and then said "Rest In Peace" afterwards of throwing in the old PlayStation 3 DualShock Controller battery! XD Of course we can't forget the amazing Ducktor, and his equally amazing restoring powers! I also like that you were testing out the controller on a PC! I'm gonna have to try that out one day! Keep up the amazing work! ❤

Oh, you're so cool with opening the driver box. lol Loved it! Actually, loved the entire video. 👍👍👍

Very cool. I can’t get enough of these.

I love your videos and can’t wait for your uploads. Thank you

very cool. i always love to watch you clean tech and the thumbnails are great too. keep up the work.

forgot how much these were a pain to fix, and this wasn't even including the weird split piece between the bumpers and triggers on the older revisions of these controllers. a true godsend to add into the bottom half mould! it was the single worst thing to keep in place trying to assemble!

Awesome work, love to see the Ducktor!

Great restoration. Like always! :D

RETURN OF THE KING

Interesting, I never knew that you can attach the L2/R2 triggers to the main parts, I've always had them on the back part when reassembling a DS3 and that's been annoying to put back together. Good job as always!

Thank you, it was cool af! I think ur so busy, but pls make more content man❤

Another great, relaxing video! Thanks

I've never taken apart a controller before but I didn't want to buy another one. The left thumbstick was acting haywire and causing the right stick to move when it wasn't supposed to. The buttons weren't responsive as they should be. This totally helped me now it's working perfectly.

This is pretty satisfying!

Same issue 1 year ago with my Dualshock 2. When I ripped off the polyurethane foam out of the controller it was quite destroyed, so I made a new piece... with pink sponge. Works the same, but it wasn't so elegant, since the controller is transparent, but if it works it works for me.

I know a lil bit too much about fixing these. Think a lot of us 40 year olds do. 😁 Great video as always. 👍👍

Fascinating work 👏!

When I was cleaning out my old controller, a part fell out that I could not figure our. I couldn't see a place for it. But on your video at 3:55, there it is! Thank you for helping. Now I have to clean my PS 4 Pro and PS5 controllers.

Like the day it came out. Great job as always, keep it up.

You make it look so simple.

Watched this video and I was able to fix my controller off of your guide thank you so much for showing us how to fix a glitchy controller

i am eating my lunch and watching this. this is oddly satisfying ^^

My controllers had water damage I cannot tell you how many times I opened those things trying to fix them I think I was only successful with one. This video really takes me back.

Best reparation videos that existis! Thank you

This video could not have been timed better for me. I fell off my skateboard with beer and ps3 controllers in my backpack resulting in sticky buttons ever since. Now, years later i am using one of those controllers on my computer and was wondering if i could clean it just two days ago. Thanks!

This is amazing I didn’t try it yet but it looks easy and I will try it

The Ducktor always brings a smile to my face. :)

Odd tinkering is a true legend ❤

Another thing you can do with the contact pad (if you don't have any of the materials) is cover it with a small layer of tissue paper snd wrap it in electric tape. Doing so will make it thicker and more durable and it won't crease or get thin over time. I did that on all my V1 dualshock controllers and I haven't had any issues since then.

I love that you always make a point of brushing Ducktor's "teeth" lol, it wouldn't be Odd Tinkering without him now 😁

good seeing it match the console

As always, Ducktor made an excellent job

Nice work boss. I love that bathing with duck

I love this, you just saved me some serious dough!

That's the good stuff right there. Odd tinkering and filthy broken consoles and peripherals.

Very relevant video. I`ve got my ds3 back after years and of course it's battery is dead and have to be replaced

Great job bro 😉👍

I remember talking apart my controller to clean it. It used to have separate plastic pieces between bumpers and triggers. It was a nightmare to place them back correctly. The newer versions had those integrated in the top of the pad cover. No wonder why they made this change 😅

Yep, it's working perfectly you bring a dead controller to life good job!

Good job man, I used to have a ps3 when I was a kid :)

The PS3 Controller is really amazing. Way better than the PS4 Controller. Love these Restaurations❤
