LIFE SAVER!!! Havent been able to use my scuf for over a year now and i have no soldering experience so this is gonna literally save that controller!!! Thanks a ton
You’re the man followed the video step by step didn’t forget the screw under the battery it was my L2 that needed fixed did exactly as you did reinforced it with a little metal piece works great now without you I wouldn’t have been able to get the dam thing apart and woulda bought another $200 controller
I used your video as a guide to open up the scuf since I had never opened it. Same issue, L2 wouldn’t click. I folded aluminum foil into a super condense small piece then added it with super glue right under the plastic your showed that pressed down without taking out the whole trigger as I was too scared to go that far and it worked! .30 cent fix. I put it up back together and the options button was stuck and L2 wouldn’t aim but once I re-opened it I realized a white cable with the black line was connected next to the trigger so I placed it in and my remote is like new. Thank you for the video!
Great video. My Reflex FPS is 1.5 years old and r2 stopped working. Exact issue shown here. I fixed that, but when i went to put it back together i realized one of the tiny yellow wires came loose from the small boards on the side. I decided to try and re-solder it (never done that before) and after some tinkering finally got it to work. Put everything back together and works beautifully! Thanks for the video good stuff!!!
Many thanks for the vid! It worked but for how long…we will see haha Please check if all the wires are plugged in and also if the yellow wire is connect to the circuitboard (this wire is connected with the r2 button housing). I have to solder it because mine broke from the circuit board. I had to open this controller for so many times before I saw it 😂
What type of metal did you use in the repair? like a spring steel or just some aluminum from a soda can? Also ill probably design a 3D printable part to fix the issue soon as i go to do this fix. Ill post a video on the 3d part when i get it designed
My people I just had the same problem with my so I contacted Scuf and guest what no warranty since it been 7 months. They want me to send it and pay for the repair crazy people so I fix it my self I put aluminum foil and that’s set no need to take to hold thing apart it works very good so far a week and holding strong. I WILL NEVER BY SCUF AGAIN they won’t even sell me the trigger 😂just put enough foil and that’s it
@@nathannth8239 a piece of aluminum foil is because the plastic loosens the strength and it won’t push hard enough the click to make the trigger to work
@@Elmostro21 could you try to explain it to me please because I didn't really understand and that despite the French translation it complicates the thing please!
Do L2 and R2 pop out the same as L1 and R1? Just had L2 start disengaging intermittently and hoping to just pop it off to take a look rather than disassemble the whole thing

@@gmorb666 Scuf charged $43.00 for the small bending piece that's like 2 cm long. But anyways they claimed there's no way for them to reinforce it to not break meaning they know it will give out so they can charge people.
I just wish they had some software on the pc I could use to remap the buttons. That way I could make my L2 one of the paddles because I also need L1 so I can’t just flip them 🤦 maybe I could just flip l2 with a dpad button and use that as L2 and map it too a paddle
@@Wilko159 i tried getting a new trigger from scuf and they would only replace after i sent the whole controller in for them to "diagnose" and then coming up with a "repair plan".....so silly
I am italian and I have the same problem but i am not good to touch the controller and I don't have idea to how repair the problem...😢 but nice video 🎉
Just went to town on mine, waiting for glue to dry, so if it’s not fixed then I’ll just wait for a 1000 more years for scuf to finally reach out so worth the gamble, (I never worked on anything before either)

It was just a bit of scrap I had lying around. I think something cut from a can would work fine
Did u get a 3D model?
Can u tell me what the yellow wire is from the r2 button? I wanna replace the r2 triggers from an original one. Is this possible u think?

if it wasnt for this comment i would of spent $400 for a new controller 😭😭 if anybody wanna see how it looks with the aluminum in i can send a link
Hi, I would like to know where exactly you placed the aluminum because I have the same problem and I don't know how to do it!
@@nathannth8239 where the click button is between the plastic and the click part

Yes they should do!
Do I not have to de solder to get to the face buttons?
No, I didn't desolder anything
can you link the glue used and what kind of metal that is to reinforce?
Sorry it's taken so long

The metal was just an offcut I had.
to get this fixed, 43.00 after warranty if you can even call it that. 2nd fix same issue.
U charge 43? I charge 100 lol the controller is expensive charge more.

@A Bro's Life so its planned obsolescence.
@@gmorb666where you get the parts
@@abroslifeI know this was 9 months ago but there is a way to reinforce it just use metal like this man has instead of shitty plastic

You should be able to do that, there's a bit of a guide here

Who knows where I can buy a replacement R2 for the scuf reflex?
I'm not sure those spares are available, you could try to be a faulty controller to use for parts
@@Wilko159 i tried getting a new trigger from scuf and they would only replace after i sent the whole controller in for them to "diagnose" and then coming up with a "repair plan".....so silly
I'm guessing 3d printer can make a replacement for this problem
Ive thought about that as well and i may end up designing the part soon. If i do ill post a video on it
@@Frumpsydid you make the part?
I am italian and I have the same problem but i am not good to touch the controller and I don't have idea to how repair the problem...😢 but nice video 🎉
Thank you! It may be worth trying, as long as you are careful, it's not too difficult a repair. It just requires a little patience
Anyone try to replace this with a regular trigger mechanism from a DualSense?
I haven't tried that myself. I would imagine they would fit and work differently.
😔 I just don’t trust myself to do this far from a tech guy
I can understand. If not doing it means the controller stays broken and unused, what have you got to lose?
Just went to town on mine, waiting for glue to dry, so if it’s not fixed then I’ll just wait for a 1000 more years for scuf to finally reach out so worth the gamble, (I never worked on anything before either)
Im having the same problem but with my L2
Can you fix mine please lol
Sorry, this is a bit of a hobby for me, I don't carry out regular repairs. There are a few people offering the service online though.
