"Repair Conductive Film For Controller Dualshock uses silver glue Fix Keypad flex Cable Not work" - SKILL
• Repair Conductive Film...
Merry Christmas!!!!!
The dualshock 3 situation is so tragic. It’s really hard to find genuine ones that aren’t in poor conditions.
Keep in mind if you will have problems with any ps3 controllers that randomly starts sending random inputs to your ps3 is because the sponge that holds the circuit foil lost it's "spongeness". You can fix that with a piece of paper under the sponge. Just in case you encounter this problem.
Challenge: Play something with the DoubleShock 3's wrongly mapped controls
The replacement thumb stick that was crazy sensitive may have different max resistance values on its pots. Resulting in hitting the max value the controller expects before hitting the physical limits
I noticed from the used ds3s I've refurbished, a lot of them have this ghost button press issue and that is because the foam used to add pressure to the contacts deteriorates. Adding a layer of tape or paper fixes that issue.
you always need to do some re-calibration after a joystick swap since every joystick made differently
Actually with the dualshock 1, 2 and 3 the thumbsticks become sticky and oily by themselves due to the chemical deterioration of the rubber, usually after a light cleaning and a few minutes of use they turn out ok again, but if you leave them for months in a drawer they come back sticky again.

Really cool how you got 3 ps3’s for 50 and now 9 ps3 controllers for 40. Nice vid
Today I have learned not to solder ribbon cables :) lol

I taught myself how to fix PS3 controllers and I learned a lot in the process. Initially it would appear that there are two controller types, with and without vibration. The reality is that there are at least 5 variants that I found, and they don't interchange parts, even with identical model numbers. Not even the battery interchanges perfectly.
All pots have different readings, so you have to closely match it as best as you can since the pots that were on there is what they used to calibrate it at the factory
I love your content. It's super fun binging your videos and learning at the same time!
I was in need of a sixaxis controller for my pc and ended up buying a used PS3 with 10 games and 3 controllers, all of which are mostly working but only one is fit for use. This video is great for getting into overhauling those controllers, and I love watching electronics repairs on youtube. Subbed!
They made some very convincing knock off DualShock 3s. I have a knockoff that is a nearly perfect copy inside and out, and the plastic casting and silkscreening is flawless, however it doesn't work in the PS3's safe mode. I've actually never come across any counterfeit DS3 that works in safe mode, so maybe you can test the supposedly genuine controllers to see if they're actually legit.
the weird thumbprint on the joystick on the 1st controller is 100% certain from someone stepping on it. been there done that!
The clear ps3 controller has no issues. It's actually comes with a separate USB dongle, without it it just a paperweight. I have that same controller
The 2.4 GHz controller probably doesn't use BT to avoid license fees, but 2.4 GHz is in many cases more performant than a BT controller (less input lag).
