  • Today I decided to replace the left joystick on one of my Switch pro controllers because it had started to fail.
    Tools used:
    Hakko FR-300 desoldering gun
    Weller WES51 soldering iron
    Sparkfun lead-free solder ( TOL-10242 )
    Amtech NC-559-V2-TF flux

    I bought a broken off brand procon and I'll be doing exactly this to fix it. Really helpful video.

    Спасибо за проделанную работу. Имею такой же джойстик. Думаю тоже нужна замена, но таких же резисторов не нашел в интернете. Попробую от PS4

    Hello, it was an excellent video, only when he spoke that if that is what I get up to the central part of the potentiometer below and I want to know where that line is going to go so I can connect it directly

    I tried this on a PowerA third party controller, the analog stick replacement is not exactly the same as the nintendo switch one, so it doesn't fit. the Power A is larger. just to let people know if they are going to try on a power A controller the part dont fit. also if anybody finds a part that fits just let me know.

    Somehow my left stick had a deadzone and the calibration just reduced the entire area to exclude that. Basically now i can have the stick going to max if i slightly move it instead to push it all the way on the side. Kinda alarming

    I accidentally lifted the middle pad for the horizontal potentiometer on the right analog stick while replacing the unit. Is it repairable or am I completely screwed here? I can't find any schematics so I'm not sure if this pad actually goes anywhere.

    I need to ask: is the analog stick smaller than the Xbox/PlayStation ones? I have a gamesir gamepad and the analog stick is a bit smaller than the Xbox, making it difficult to swap or fix. I found a hall effect analog stick on Alliexpress that I want to test but, I need to now if it is smaller or not...

      There are specific joystick models for the PS4, PS5, Switch Pro, Xbox One/S/X, and Xbox Elite controllers.

      @localdopedude8818 3 роки тому

      If you're talking about powera ones I think they have a different kind of stick box. You'd have to open it up and check. If you get the right stick box though then yes switching it out is the same

      Nintendo released some updated firmware for the Switch to permanently disable this controller so I just ended up tossing it and getting an authentic pro controller. :)

    Nice soldering setup. You must do a lot of jobs to warrant a $600 setup; maybe cheaper when you initially got it, but that's the price for your setup now.

    what are the products you put on the solder points before desoldering?

    • @mycoolprojects6367
      @mycoolprojects6367  5 місяців тому +1

      It's this flux ( www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DR62IYY/ ) but I've since learned that using flux with a desoldering gun like the Hakko can cause problems. The flux can get deep into the guts of the desoldering gun and may require a lot of cleaning/disassembly to get rid of. If I were to do it again, I'd probably try to either not use flux or replace the filter right after using it.

    My replacement joysticks make the same thing, it sticks and has to be pulled back to the center. My question is, did matter in the end, or does it work even if the joystick replacement is a bit stiff.

    • @migueldelcastillo7269
      @migueldelcastillo7269 3 роки тому +5

      The joysticks do that when they don’t have the plastic coverings to stop the full range of motion.
      So it is normal that it does that

      Yeah, when I replaced the sticks on my xbox controller they did that too lol. Seems that with the design of these things it likes to do this.

    I bought a knockoff pro controller and when it almost never drifts, and when i'm playing it never drifts. I found a way to stop the drift which was to turn off the controller than turn it on again

    l think this is not a ns pro controller,the pcb looks totally different.
    And it's not that soomth when doing the circle text 7:22,the spot stop a while when it goes to up-donw-left-right 4 side.
    We should make sure that the joystick's tow carbon film is FULL CIRCLE,not pieces.and spot stop issue will be resolved.
    Carbon film is in the green(orange) chamber.

      If you don’t push in thumb stick caps after enough that can do it, but sometimes it’s that the module is installed uneven, or the case is screwed in too tight. Many things can happen.
