31:07 keep track of the orientation of the spring part when removing/reinstalling. One side where the screw goes thru has an extra tab. Flip it the wrong way and one thumb sensor won't work.

Suggestion: Cut out the parts where you're looking at the controller or doing minor cosmetic chages such as peeling the stickers and the goo and cleaning it up, it shortens the video and, atleast for me, makes it easier to follow because there's no break inbetween things so It's faster

I can tell that I was struggling with that also. You will have to go in at an angle and try not to strip the little screw out. The shaft of the driver is too big to clear the trigger switch.

That's called stick drift, and it's why I came to this video to find it. I did what another comment suggested and it worked fine (took like 5 minutes). Just follow what he does to take out the battery, the top black lid, and the top of the joystick. Take some "3-in-1 oil" (I used the WD40 brand of it) and drop 2-3 drops right on the black nub where the joystick was and wait for it to drip into the controller. Then, twist the joystick top back on, put the black plate back on, and turn it on. I had to repeat the above twice, (first I did 2 drops of oil, then I did 4 drops of oil) but then the drift completely stopped. Hope that helps

(How i fixed mine)both joysticks started drifting on day 3, brand new. One was drifting up,the other down, theyre the same piece flipped over so must be a bad batch of joysticks. I opened the black top,removed the joystick cap and dripped a few drops of 3in1 oil(by wd40) into the moving mechanisms, had the calibrator on screen and saw each one getting fixed in real time after moving the joysticks for the oil to work inside, same batteries, never dropped or hit. Month 2 now, no more drift again

@davidperdan8401

Жыл бұрын

This comment specifically saved me from taking apart my controller even further. Took maybe 5 minutes and worked like a charm. Note to those who try but are afraid of getting too much oil: I did it twice: once I used two drops, tried it (no difference), took it apart again and did 4 more drops, then put it all together again and moved the thumbstick around several times in the calibration menu. Worked like a charm

how do I fix my A button issue because A button is not turn on

@Slakass55

9 ай бұрын

That's a common problem on video game consoles. My kids are pros at spilling sugary drinks and foods all over their controllers. I recommend adding a few drops of alcohol into the sides of the button and gently brushing around it a few times with a toothbrush, going around in order to clean whatever is obstructing contact. Or another type of brush (preferably with longer bristles and soft). You likely got food or a drink spilled there, or some other debris. Ensure you remove the battery first!

Hi there do you know where I can buy the ribbon connector that is soldered to the motherboard? I thought I was super careful but it fell off the motherboard like dust and now it’s toast. Oh also the reason I’m panicked is I went to let my nieces use it but discovered the battery leaked and I was cleaning it. I wouldn’t be rushed to fix the cable but they are here from Israel and I’m trying to keep them entertained. I’m in Dartmouth NS Canada and everything takes so long to ship. great videos by the way :)
