- This video shows you how to disassemble and replace the joysticks on the PS5 DualSense controller. If your controller has thumbstick drift, this will fix that issue. It does require some basic soldering skills.
flux can really help the solder flow more easily
Very true, I usually go crazy with the flux. Not sure why I didn't here!
It doesn´t matter how you connect the vibration motors, they only spin in the other direction
Yep
Removed useing a desolder iron could please tell me under blue part of alps analogs is the solder around the holes because is no solder around a few please reply
Some of the legs don't have any solder on them? You can just use flux and solder the legs that don't have any.
I did not listen to the part about being carful with the plastic connectors and now half of one is black😂
That's not good, hopefully it is just a little toasted and not broken!
I've never soldered before but i'd like to change my joysticks to hall effect joysticks what tools do you use do you have links?
I use a hotair rework station. You can get them on Amazon. It has a hot air gun and a soldering iron which are temp and airflow adjustable.
I replaced my sticks on my controller, but my right stick won't reach full outer range when it's all fit back together. If I take off the trim ring around the joystick, it reaches just fine. I've replaced the joystick cap and the trim ring and it's the same thing. Any idea what's going on here?
Are you using the stock joystick? Some of thr aftermarket ones or ones from a ps4 or xbox one are just a bit too big
hey, great vid! I was wondering if the thumb stick would need to be calibrated after you make the swap, and if that would be done physically or by software. also what was the liquid you used to clean the pcb after you were done?
No calibration needed. I use isopropyl alcohol to clean the board.
@@dackselectronicrepair thank you, one more question…do they work on all the DualSense controller versions? Specifically bdm 030 because all of mine with stick drift are that version
Oh is it possible to get a link for the stick modules just so I don’t get the wrong ones?
How did you get the new joystick components? Where can we buy them?
I get them through a wholesale supplier but they are on Amazon as well!
make sure you get the right ones for PS5 (2.1 or 2.3KΩ NOT 10KΩ)
No amount of heat gun is getting the old solder out any other advice?
Try using some flux and melt some leaded solder into the factory solder. That should lower the melting temp of the unleaded solder they use.
My stick ist nit moving after replacment whats teh issue
It is hard to say. If the board was damaged it may not work. You got all the legs lined up and soldered in?
I've done this 4 times, two were successful, and the other two I ended up melting the underside of the analog stick...what am I doing wrong?
It really is a time sensitive repair. You have to get all solder in all the legs heated up at the same time so you can basically just drop the new stick into place and remove the heat right away. If you leave the hot air going for too long after you put the new stick in place you will melt the underside of it. A little melting won't hurt anything but too much will make it not work.
What is the tube thing used for deslodering ??
That is a solder sucker and it does just that; vacuum sucks the solder up into it!
power of having great tools, I destroyed my controller using cheap solder gun. No hot air gun. Torn a trace off
I have messed up traces even with good tools. Remember to mix leaded with the factory non leaded solder so it lowers the melting temp.
whats the solder sucker your using?
It doesn't have a brand name on it. Just search Amazon. They are all pretty similar.
Brother how can i fix my ps4 controlla it will not charge i tried just about everything besides changing the M-bored... Now it do power on however it will not charge at all what else can it be ??? If anyone can help an fellow gamer out on how to...fix it myself.. And or can anybody donate a old dusty PS4 controlla or i can trade for something i may have something of interest to you off rip just to name 1or2 things i have a 1080hp gopro I also have a gold plated Michael Kors watch with the lynx I have to loose links from when I loosen it for my wrist for tight fitting or trade that and no longer in making so this is a relic it hold rare they're no longer in spin mean that they are no longer in rotation no longer will they be produced this can be a monolith or a heirloom that you keep in your family as I plan for what's planning to keep in mind but I'm not mentally attached to things so to say
Not sure what is going on. It could be the charging port or the battery. It is also possible the motherboard is bad and in that case you would just need to get a new one.
Is there a place i can take my controller into and they can do this for me?
I would think any place that repairs phones and computers would be able to do this. The problem you may run into is that it will cost more to have them do it then just getting a new controller!
@@dackselectronicrepair I see, thanks for the help
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
10 hearts right back at you, plus 10 more for being a fan! You get 20 awesomness hearts!
can you please post a link of the hot air gun you used ? i wanna buy it too. thanks
I use a Yihua 995D+ rework station. It has both hot air and a soldering iron. You can go way more expensive if you want but this one does everything I need. Here is a link to the amazon listing a.co/d/j47VnEU
Could the cause of the stick drift problem come from dirt buildup? That controller was absolutely filthy.
Not in this case but I suppose dirt could cause drift issues. However, it would be hard for it to get into the actual joystick as the the thumbstick covers mushroom over the mechanism which keeps almost all dirt out of it.
Isn't 450c too high?
You have to go pretty high to get the leadfree solder to melt.
@@dackselectronicrepair If you were to apply low melt solder onto it before using the heat gun, would it be at a different temp or the same?
@@OKBUDDY21 Yes you can try that for sure. If you flux it and melt leaded solder it should melt at a lower temp on the hot air.
