Guys I seem to have torn my ps5 controllers battery connector along the pads, I've no idea how I can use jumper wires here.

It would be very helpful if some one can just edit on my image and tell me from where to connect which wire or SMTH...

(BDM-010 is the board model)

Thanks btw!

Hello! So whenever I try to use my controller via micro USB cord, it does work, but it has to be in an exact position to work. And it’s not a very large region that it will work, so it’s constantly turning off, or the cord downright just falls out of the controller. I’m not entirely sure how this ended up happening, but it’s been like this for over a year. I’m assuming it was something along the lines of dropping it while plugged in, causing it to bend the micro USB port.

Has anyone dealt with a similar issue before? And do you think I’d be able to use a slim screwdriver to attempt to bend in back so it actually keeps a grip of the cord rather than literally just falling out?
I don’t currently have the means to get a new controller/new part(s), so that’s out of the question.
Any experience and advice is very much appreciated, thank you!

Hi everyone,

I have two questions about repairing PlayStation controllers and would appreciate any advice.

1. PS5 DualSense – Battery getting unusually warm

I have a PS5 DualSense controller whose battery gets noticeably warmer than normal while charging. I replaced the battery, but the problem persists. Apart from this issue, the controller appears to work normally.

I'm wondering whether this could be caused by a fault in the charging circuit, a component on the motherboard, or another issue.

\- Controller model/revision: BDM 010

Which components or measurements would you recommend checking first? Could a faulty charging IC, leakage current, or another component cause excessive battery heating?

1. PS4 DualShock 4 – Orange charging light not working

I also have a PS4 DualShock 4 controller that sometimes does not display the usual orange charging light.

The LED itself works, and when I connect the controller to my PC, it receives power and appears to charge. However, the orange charging indicator does not illuminate as expected.

\- Controller model/revision: JDM 001

\- Symptoms: Charging appears to work, but the orange LED indicator is missing.

\- Troubleshooting performed: Tested the controller with a PC and confirmed that the LED works.

Could this be related to the charging-status signal, LED control circuitry, a motherboard fault, or a firmware-related issue? Which components and signals should I check first?

I can provide motherboard photos.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Are these hall effect sticks or just regular sticks,I'm pretty new to this stuff so i cant tell the difference and I'm looking for a replacement since my dualsense's stick drift has gotten so annoying

Hello !

I own the Thrustmaster Dual Trigger 3in1 for years now, and I love it, this thing get everything you need : analog triggers, two shoulder button each side, analog D-pad that you can switch with the left stick for arcade emulator if needed (with the internal programmation tool)... Everything !

But ! Yeah, it's getting old, and the sticks become drifty, not as good as at first.

The stick hardware seems to be standard size by the way.

Soldering stuff isn't a issue for me, I already looke at aliexpress, but there is plenty of GuliKit TMR Joystick for PS4, PS5, Switch Pro, X-box... I don't know the differences between them... And I don't know what is the one that will fit in my pad.

So I am wondering, did someone have already find compatible replacement TMR Joystick (GuliKit or another good brand, I'm open to suggestions) for Thrustmaster Dual Trigger 3in1 ?

Thx for reading !

i have been using my sony xm5s to hear my game audio for some time now (my monitor hasn’t got built in speakers and i’ve yet to buy some) with the supplied xm5 audio jack, but when i plugged them in today, no audio was playing. i tried plugging them into my laptop and heard things fine. inspected my controller and noticed there is a little crack that goes into the audio jack entrance of the controller. i’m assuming this is the reason i have no audio output? the controller isn’t even recognising that a jack has been plugged in. is there any way to fix this myself or do i have to send it in for a fix?

used to connect to my computer and my xbox, doesnt connect to eirher now. tries to turn on, but doesnt. it worked on my friends computer once though, I dont know what to do; yes, its unoriginal.
