The ONLY video I can find for what I needed to do. All these videos talk about fixing that easy ass spring, I needed to get that friggin trigger off. Thanks Joe!
My controller stopped working after a drop. R1 and R2 unresponsive, mechanically moving as normal. After watching this video, I did the same and managed to get it 100% working by simply reconnecting all the ribbon cables. My suggestions are to be careful with the microphones (there’s 2) just remove the ribbon and don’t remove the white plastic connectors. Don’t disconnect the big white pad/button either, it’s unnecessary.
If your spring is good check the cable that controls the triggers my L2 and L1 weren't working today so I opened it up an my cable ribbon was half plugged in so i plugged it in an all is good now
Damn that sucks that we gotta do all tht.. I've already taken so many ones apart for other issues but that l2 tops it all.. Sonys ridiculous for making shit like this so most people can go buy a new one.. Luckily I'm a bit tech savvy.. Thanks for the vid man! 💪🏼💯 Oh and I made sure to like and subscribe!
Thank you. I have replaced the microphone inside my controller and the conduction pad for the d-pad buttons and action buttons... my L2 button stopped working and my L1 button was very choppy it worked when it wanted to. Lucky for me I got some of those ribbons for the top buttons when I bought my conductive pad originally so I can try this out and see if it's my problem. Of course I bought the Springs thinking that was going to be the issue but my spring seems fine.
My wife fell asleep with a cig in her hand (don't smoke kids!) and woke up with a melted L2 trigger cap.. the chassis too .. which meant the trigger sticks now. Thanks to your vid I can now disassemble, shave-down the warped plastic and reassemble! Smooth as silk!
I have the issue where my R2 trigger is extremely sensitive and works on it's own most times, I switched the springs but the problem still occurs. What could be the problem?
hey hey that pad @21:20 have a problem with mine with L1 button not the trigger.... any idea where to buy cheap? im in the EU hungary. great video thanks!
I replaced the flex ribbons of L1 & L2 triggers and now my controler isn't working. The controller works fine when I disconnect the trigger's ribbon but fails again when I connect it, any solution?
eBay should be able to sort you out. Do a search for something like 'Flex Ribbon Circuit Board for PlayStation 5 PS5 DualSense Controller' and a load should pop up! Good luck with it
could you please tell me where I can get a replacement green cable for that? my r1 and r2 dosnt work because the green ribbon has a scratch on it. What is it called?
If you search "PS5 Controller Conductive Film DualSense Circuit Ribbon PlayStation 5 Membrane" on eBay UK you'll find what you're after. I would assume it'll have a similar name for other country eBay sites.
So I had to replace the L1/L2 ribbon wire and my controller won’t turn back on, the moment I disconnected that wire controller is able to turn back on. Any ideas ?please help
taking off the cap of the trigger completely solved a problem i was having, this video was a lifesaver thank you joe

Thanks for this, I was able to switch the L2 trigger assembly from an old dualsense to fix another controller using your video.
This is fantastic to hear! The video has achieved it's mission to help at least 1 other! Thank you for the comment.
I dissected the r2 trigger and dipped the trigger circuit (flat one) in disinfection fluid and reassemble it and got it to work
yo do you have a discord or sum so we can talk about this bc i still cant fix it

Didn't think of that part where you add cotton to the middle part so it gives a more stronger base to the r2 sensor thanks!
Theron you so much I loved this
