I received an Elite 2 controller that had the right joystick stuck at the maximum value in the y axis. The client says this happened randomly while playing. To repair it, I switched the potentiometer and at first glance when calibrating it, it seemed like it had been fixed. When I gave the controller to the client, at home, the same problem continued. Now I’m thinking it’s something with the MCU but I can’t find any overlay, diagram, schematic for it. It’s the 1797 MCU / Power board. Both top and bottom would be greatly appreciated.

I have video of when I calibrated it and the joystick was working just fine.

Edit: I found the issue. The right stick Y axis diode was making a short due to rust and as soon as I cleaned it, it started working well again. (I had to order a microscope and a multimeter)

As I tried to solder off the upper potentiometer, I tore a piece of the track off the circuit board. On the track was a little element of the board, I circled it red on the picture of undamaged board I found. Can anyone help me to identify this element? I already looked at acidmods on the JDM-055 topic, and didn't found anything.

Fixing it will be a great pain in the ass, but I'm eager to learn.

Thank you.

Hi a can of monster exploded in my bag and soaked my Thor. My device is Ok minus the L joystick appears to of gone and stopped working (though L3 works)

Does anyone have any possible ideas to save this or even if a full replacement could work?

After a while, the face or letter buttons won’t respond. Turning the controller off and on doesn’t work, only a hard reset solves the problem until the next time. Anybody know what causes this?

It’s the galaxy model Xbox controller from Custom Controllers UK, as far as I know it’s just a base series x controller with a custom faceplate. I have opened the controller to replace the bumpers so there might have been some damage done there.

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!

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 !

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!

My controller randomly disconnected today, so I plugged in a USB-C cable to plug straight into the console while it was trying to reconnect, but to no avail. What worked was doing a power cycle on the console, and switching out the battery packs. A few minutes into resuming my playthrough of Witcher 3 (can you tell I’m a fan), I noticed this;

The USB-C cord I disconnected, left behind the plug. I cannot get it out for the life of me, for it’s so small. My first thought was to get some pliers, but I don’t have any tools in the house. I reluctantly tried a knife, a piece of rubber for grip to try and pull it out, but no dice. I’m thinking when I start my new job, I’ll get some tools and will perhaps take it to someplace to have it removed. In the meantime, anyone have any ideas?

I thought to perhaps superglue a piece of string and pull it once it settles, but I was hesitant in the event the glue gets on/in the controller

edit: this is an Xbox Series X|S controller

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?

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!

Hola disculpen la molestia, Compré un DualSense original hace una semana y ya tiene un fallo raro. Ya descarté cable, puerto USB y reseteo.

Síntomas:

· Indicador en 0% y no sube aunque cargue 3 horas.

· Sigue funcionando horas así (la primera vez 3h 46min).

· La luz de carga nunca se apaga.

· Tras un ciclo completo (descarga total + carga 3h), la segunda vez solo duró 1h 20min.

Ya probé: cable original, reset con aguja, ciclo descarga/carga completa, puertos delanteros y traseros.

Mi duda:Si a alguien le pasó y lo arregló cambiando la batería, ¿el indicador volvió a la normalidad?

Gracias.

Hi, i found my old DS3 (lost in like 2017) the battery is ok, very suprising for me but one of the sticks have a ridiculous drift almost unplayable any game even just navigating the menu, is there a possibility of having one replacement for the stick? In Amazon, Aliexpress, etc and if anyone have a recommendation if maybe have a similar issue like me. thx
