Thank you for the demo and for providing the links, really useful
The videos replacing the joystick made it seem way simpler. I been struggling with this for about 4 hours and that's just one side. Going to get a heat gun and see what's up
Did it help?
Same problem i think i need more and better equipment
Just did this cant believe I didnt break it lol. Have to wait on my sticks now but I believe nothing is damaged (if i didnt knock off a microcap somewhere by accident lol) Thanks for the educational video!
Thank you for this, I wish I had seen it sooner. I think I might have destroyed some of the traces on the front trying to get the solder off. At least I can fix the rest and maybe use the controller for games that don't require the right stick
All i did was cut joystick legs with cutters.The heat up holes with solder iron and remove legs worh tweezers.Then use a wick or solder sucker to clear holes job done.
I just tried too and failed..... i dont have heat gun to melt all solder points at once.... using solder sucker and iron alone is not enough....
What kind of wipes are those you're using to clean up the flux?
If the heat gun is 2 hot u can brake the motherboard so which hight are u using?
Can I ask why you add solder once the stick is removed and then soak it up again with the braided strip. I’m new to this and just interested
Probably a dumb question but I accidentally pulled out a wire that was soldered. Do I have to use a solder sucker/wick to completely remove the solder that's on the board then reapply?
Any material you use for cleaning
I’ve used the same method a couple of days ago. Removing the stick was easy enough using hot air but clearing the holes with desolder wick was another story. I finally came to he conclusion that I must use a solder tip with enough surface to cover the entire hole, a temperature around 390ºC and a good amount of flux.
The first time took me around 3 or 4 hours to figure out the right tools and settings for the hot air and soldering station. Now I’m able of doing it in less than an hour including testing and disassembling and reassembling the entire thing.
Now the hard part is to get quality replacement parts.
So I am in the same boat, I've tried now with two sellers on amazon and still can't find good analogs. Please update this if you find a good seller.
Heat it up with the hot air and use a desolder pump to suck out the holes. Worked like a charm for me!
@@spacekees102 I’ve seen orange and blue sticks. My ps5 controller had blue. So I bought those. I’ll check the other sticks
@@Debu_Ranger My comment got deleted dont buy elecgear sticks. Everytime I let the stick shoot backwards it causes a big jitter on screen so to speak. Also the deadzones were way off had to buy drift stick fix v1.5 to adjust. I think its better to buy some off of alixpress.
Glad to see that you are good at this now, do more are helpful.
There’s a wire on the analog stick side of the board coming out of my controller (its not broken), can that be fixed? If so please tell. Also, what type of flux do you use?
Could you tell what temperature set on heat gun? Thank you
690-740°F is what I've been told I'm about to try tonight when I get home.
Do i need the hot air to remove the stick, cant this be done with just the wick ?
Love your 2 vid on ps5 joysticks. I used a hot solder sucker ($18 on aliexp) and used it to remove just the pots. After replacing I realized the sticks were kinda "sticky" so decided to replace the whole joysticks.
Tried the tool again and got most of the solder out of all but the 4 biggest pins. Ordered a heat gun and will try to fully remove the sticks tomorrow per the video's technique.
2 questions. What foil tape are you using and what gauze are you using to clean? I got some kapton and ducting foil.. figured kapton is safe adhesive for the board and the foil will go on top to reflect heat. But saw you put foil directly on the board and wondered if regular duct foil would leave a residue.
Also.. some comments here and other vids say the pots are calibrated at the factory and replacing can cause issues. Found a mod board that lets you tweak the resistance of the pots so if I see an issue im going to try that to physically calibrate it. $20 in parts if i have to do that. Prob worth it since i have 5 controllers and the 2 most used developed drift.
P.s. i played 1000 hrs of souls games on them with my kid this year so they do get use.
What happens if you burn the metal on the hole. Now I cant solder in one of the potentiometers I burned the metal on the hole. Is it ruined or can this be fixed? The rest of the controller i did flawless
can you provide link for what replacement parts?
And proper 🤗
what is that silver tape?
Hey buddy what temperature do you set the heat gun also do you apply any force when using the wick tape ? Thank you in advance
I use 450ºC and full speed, but it might be different from one heat gun to another. If you aren’t confident with your settings it’s recommended to test on a broken controller or other similar electronic device.
As for the wicking process, you only need to press lightly, just enough to make sure the wick is making contact with both the soldering tip and the hole you are trying to clear. Use plenty of flux and make sure you use enough temperature to make it boil and evaporate.
Again, is a matter of practice because there are multiple variables to account for like the size of the soldering tip, the quality of the wick itself, the type of flux, the thickness of the board, etc
The temperature is 350 degree, speed 5.
@@mrjarto Do I need a solder sucker or can I just put a bit of fresh solder then use a flux and wick to remove it?
Hi, I just replaced my joysticks. Thanks you for the video! But i now cannot charge the controller, the orange light flashes as though its charging but does not raise the battery bars. i may have knocked off an ic during the heating process. Are you able to shed some light on this as to which ic controls the charging? and or a schematic to compare mine to to see whats missing? mine is model CFI-ZCT1W Thanks
Have you problem solved? If not, gmajdgv@gmail.com is my email.
What are you using to hold the pcb stable while working? My helping hands aren't stable enough to let you pull the stick out.
Use a vice with gentle pressure
What do you use at the last part to clean all those black burned marks and spots on the board? I just changed my analog right stick and all I get is a 3 times blinking orange light. Can you please help?
90%+ rubbing alcohol. the black is from burnt flux
Can you fix ic power ds5
whats the tool u used to push out all of the extra rosin at 2:25 its like a gun or something
Solder sucker is used to remove the solder from the holes. Rosin is just the type of flux used on pcb's because of lower acidity.
How many degrees By The Hot air
Is flux needed when using the heat gun? Or can you just use the heat gun without flux
Flux is important as it removes oxides and helps the solder be a better conductor. You could do without but you might struggle. Also the solder used on Sony products is lead-free meaning it needs a higher melting point and is not as smooth as lead.
Is that foil you add to the controller to cover the other stuff
He putted the foil to not transfer the heat to other components.
@@miniflash ok
Its so hadd to desolder , once i remove the thumbstick i put a bit of soder wire then flux then i set my solder to around 395 with a big enough tip and put thread on the holes then solder to it but only manage to get 2 holes cleaned, also the thread seems to stick to the boars why is that?
sure it is not easy to remove the stick and clean the original solder on the PCB, but please do more and more then you'll find the well way..
I'd like to see them replaced and then working. I've heard you can't replace them because they are calibrated at the factory.
yes, it does, nobody could keep the accurancy after replaced the joystick cause Sony not open the calibrate function.
Heat gun isn't necessary. SMD removal allow and solder wick is enough.
What temperature is your solder on?
He said 350 if im not wrong
What temperature are you setting your heat gun?
I would like to know too. Whenever I do it, it melts the plastik on the analog sticks. I use 480°C and level 5 of airflow.
Please what is that orange tape?
Kapton tape
Why are you adding more if you want to remove it?
Heat transfer. If you add more then the heat transfers faster and you can remove bigger amounts easier with the solder sucker
damn u damaged the pads
