Thank you for the video this helped a lot
Your videos fucking useless. You don't explain shit.
2:04 pry the sides on the mic input, not the middle. I almost broke the PCB and now there is a gap :/
Dumbass.
Oof
feel like that is common sense 💀
Appreciate the tip, thanks. 🙏🏼
Che trimone haha
By doing what your video showed, I not only cleaned my controller but also fixed it! Thank you!
Very detailed step by step I just following your guild to fix/clean my controller! It works again now, Thank you so much!
This just fixed both of my broken controllers. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video...I fixed my sisters control. I was nervous but I went step by step from your vid and boom I got it done. She was so happy. Thanks again 😎👍
W brother
Thanks a lot, controller feels like brand new and fixed all my problems
It’s true I’m his controller
@@dogedude3462 😂😂😂😂
He need to clean me to but he is to lazy . I'm his console
😂😂 i have to drop mine on purpose every time i need to use a button. each time a different button works 🤷🏻♀️
Brooooo tysm!!! I never ever even took a controller apart before...I 'very very carefully' followed exactly what you showed and it worked for me thanks alot you just saved me 70$
Thanks for the tutorial. This was great. It helped me out alot. I did have trouble separating the case and broke the holders, but other than that everything else worked out fine.
Thanks! Super helpful, my sister gave me a controller they had for years and it still worked but it just had coffee spilled in it and sat for a few years now it works like brand new! Other than the charge port but it's only a minor issue
Thank you so much 🥳 first tutorial that actually walks us through all the steps.
Thank you so much!!! I won a brand new, open box magma red DS4 on ebay for only $35 but the L2 button was engaging when I wasn't pushing it. I cleaned the contact with 91% isopropyl and it's flawless now :) Couldn't be happier
I though we weren’t supposed to use alcohol?
Thanks!! This is the best tutorial I’ve come across very detailed which is what I needed because I’m going to do a custom paint job on a controller I’m buying and replacing the triangle square circle and x buttons as well to finish the look of the controller
No-nonsense instructions on how to do it. Thank you, pal.
Thankyou very much, this tutorial helped me fix my controller at home
Thanks bro! Cleaned my 2 remotes and even switched the colors around. They work like brand new now!
Hey 👋🏾 am from Jamaica, I just want tell you thanks for your help🤝 I been watching your contents and they all worked. My controller was fix today by your help. Thanks again brother . Keep up the good work
Exactly the kind of video I was looking for. Currently swapping the superior OEM R1 & L1 switches into a cheapo wired DS4 I bought so I don't have to worry about faulty tiny USB ports ever again.
Thanks a lot, I was able to restore my son's controller by cleaning it in every last space because of your tutorial 💝 In the beginning the Bluetooth connection wasn't maintaining but then I reset the controller and everything works like a charm - thank you agin, keep up the good work and greetings from Belgium 😁
Very helpful, clear and detailed video thank you so much
Great vid. I need to clean my controllers, and was kind of scared to open it up, but this looks a lot easier than I expected.
This was useful, dropped mine in water and had to dry it immediately, still works just fine and better since I cleaned it too.
I have the original controller for my PS4 Pro and it started giving me dead zones when playing tlou. This fixed it. Thank you!
I love how he said good luck as if he knew my controller was in pieces lol 😆
Same and all I was attempting to do was switch my plain black too a red camo face just a quick swap....noo not a quick swap I tore both my controllers up now I can't get one to charge anymore it comes on but is low battery so it does and won't charge not sure what I did
@@dustinbowman7351 wire might b short , or barley connected
my left analogue was triggering without me pressing it and this tutorial helped me fix it, thank you so much!!
This was so helpful. I haven't taken any electronics apart since I was 13 and it was one of those big 90s computers. My controller no longer activates the right trigger randomly and it's way more responsive.
Sometimes the thumbstick chambers need a wipe down as well for drifting issues. The little green boxes that sit on the north and west under the thumbsticks. You can pop the chambers open with a little oomph. BE CAREFUL with the little white discs inside. If you bend the contact wiring (which is incredibly easy to do by accident) you will more than likely need a new contact.
Can you show how to put the springs back for the R2 and L2 buttons for PS4 V2 controller
Thanks for this, I was able to clean my controller and the buttons are working again!!!
thanks for the useful tutorial, I'm amazed I managed to not break my controller while doing this
cheers for the vid. i fixed my ps4 tlou2 limited ed pad cause the dpad had become unusable. took it apart & replaced it perfectly using this guide
I fixed my ps4 right analog slow turning thanks to your guide .. thanks man
Nice i actually broke my controller
lmfao. i had a spare controller so i took it apart like when u commented (30 min ago) and all of the things fell off😂
@@Stfunoah my jack connector just broke in half hahaha
Nice mine refused to turn on after my “fix”
Y’all should have gotten a professional to do this
Lol
Thank you for your time and sharing knowledge. Have a great day 🙂
Thank you very much I was able to take apart and see the problem and reassemble it successfully 👍
😢The
This video has made me a bit more brave now. Thanks mate
Thanks so much! Watched your video step by step, and now i fixed my L2 button too that stopped responding!
This is happening to my L2 right now, you resolve it by just cleaning the controller? Thanks for answering
Much appreciated.
Got a ps4 from a pawn shop for a great price. Problem is, last owner was definitely an indoor smoker so there's this oily fuzz stuck in just about every crevasse lol
It's been a project but that controller works great now
My red Spider-Man DS4 is on the fritz. Left analog input fluctuates wildly when I push up. Tried blowing it with air but the dirt has gone deep.
Will try this tomorrow. 🤞🏼
Thank you. Fixed my stick drift.
I just rotated my x button to my triangle button and it fixed my problems lol omg so frustrating thanks a ton for the visual help as I was doing it
Much gratitude for this helpful tutorial.
It works for me. Thanks!
I have this downloaded in my phone & pc whenever i get stuck somewhere i refer to your video.. Thanks mate..
3 years later and it worked
thank you broski
IT WORKED. THANKS MAN! 😍👏🙏
Finally a proper way to open without damaging the latch inside the ds4
I broke my extension port using this guide.
Please follow other guides where you squeeze the grips instead of poking a tool and damaging the board.
Thanks very much, needed to clean my down button, very helpful
Thanks a lot. Drift's gone and my controller its woking great!
Brooo… your Video save my Ds4 thank you so much sir ❤❤❤
You sir are a legend! Thanks!
Very useful thanks 👍 best to pry sides of microphone socket, info on fixing stick drift would be useful.
Worked perfectly!
Many thanks
Very informative. Thank you so much!
Im gonna have to use this guide to take apart one controller to repair another. A controller i bought that was refurbished from Ebay back this Summer decided to stop trying to stay synced to my PS4. So now i got frustrated with it and Im gonna take it apart to repair my older one to replace the worn out parts on it since it works alot better with its charging and syncing capabilities. One part i gotta replace it my down d pad on my old one because its worn out badly and I need to replace the top buttons possibly too i think as well.
Thank you for your service my dude
I have the same driver set I love it!!! Except it says wirehard on it but it is identical.
Thank you so much your Video help a lot!
useful step by step instructions, does fail to mention how useful having a pair of tiny pliers is though. literally my only gripe, still technically doable without.
Hi! After watching your video I could fix my joystick. Thank you very much!
Bro thank you so much for this video. It fix my problem where my X button function as PS button. Now its back to normal.. Thank you so much..
Thank you this was so helpful
Excellent video! Thanks!
POV: You have destroyed your controller after playing FIFA and try to fix it.
Thanks for the video. I had to replace the conductive film since it had a scratch that made the ps button nonfunctional.
Not sure how the scratch got there since this is the first time I opened the controller. The one year warranty is kinda lame since the defect was obviously caused during assembly and it's been 3 years. I live in Florida, so the heat and humidity probably made the scratch worse until it gave in. I did notice some pairing issues before but eventually it paired until yesterday. Out of curiosity I fired up my PS3 in storage an everything worked. They definitely don't make them like they used to.
Thank you very much It helped a lot RESPECT
thank you for the way i have subscribed
I’ll need to clean my PS4 Pro controller and fix the options button because it got stuck💯
Solved💯 thank you very much👍
you can also write the black parts on the circuit with pencil for conductivity
Thanks controller works again
One of the little cables (the little black one) from one of the sticks that go to he board has unwelded when i was repairing a button. I tried the controller and all seems to work. Do i need to weld it again? (dont have the supplies).
Thanks for this video 🧡
Thanks! This help alot!
thanks! very helpful
The scariest thing for me was thinking I had the right controller on deck only to realize the persons was a different version, aha. Thankfully, I found this! Fixed my controller and all Is well:) I gotta replace my headphone port at some point, though
My R1 bumper is auto pressing itself can you help. I already opened it up and clean as you did especially the R1&R2 but it still pressing itself and i have no other options.
I had the same issue. My controller would connect over bluetooth to Ps4, PC, Android Mobile but within 30 seconds it would disconnect. I was clueless and pissed off for a week, later found a usefull tip online. Completely dismantled the controller, cleaned everything and put them back together. Mine works great now without any hiccups. I suggest all of you people facing this issue to give it a try.
hey for me the l2 trigger is actuated by itself and doesn't go down at all
when with the controller disassembled and trigger button and the membrane removed it was still giving out a l2 input
dunno how to fix
Did you say don't use alchohol because it'll remove a "special coating" for the buttons?
what is it and how do I put more back on?
Thanks, my controller is fixed 😊
I wish there was a channel to just take random stuff apart so people that were courious of how it work would not need to destroy there things to know.
I know this is 2ry old. But I have a questions. The black contact that on my D-Pad. All four fall out are they still good.
What about the center touch pad?
Whatever, doesn't matter. it worked and I only had to break the cross bar to the front that secured the touch pad to the front face to re-assemble it. Thanks, It works great now
Whats the version of that midframe or the serial number foe i am trying to purchase one but cant seem to find it
Thanks for the video! Where is the Bluetooth connector inside of the Gamepad? Can I also change that one?
I did not see the small piece When you dissembled your controller. But for me A small piece came out looks like what I would describe as a small weird looking black chimney. I would take a picture but how would I send it through here.
Nice I got it open… but I broke (bent) one of the latches on my controller. I’m planning to mod my Dualshock 4 into a USB-C Charging Port
So I was dissembling my controller and the black wire for my left rumbler snapped off with little force. Is it safe to power it on if the red wire is still intact?
Appreciate that bro
Thanks. that helped me a lot
on my dualshock 4 the movement button moves slowly and rotates. It seems like the button needs to be lubricated. How can I fix this so that I can move it smoothly.
Thanks fixed my R2
My controller was full of my cat's hairs 😂 Thank you now it's all clean
Thank you
Hi,can you tell me the code of the battery for a substitution? thank you
This guide is gold 👌
Thanks sm! Saved me £45 :0
I found an other video, PS3 controller cleaned by alcohol at the buttons. So it's recommended alcohol or not ?
thank you for the help
