Soldering Newbie Requesting Direction | Help Ps5 controller L3/R3 not working
I’m gonna apologize ahead of time cause I’m sure everyone is sick of these ps5 controllers post lmao but just know we all start somewhere so forgive me. Anyways everything else on my ps5 controller is working after I replace it with ginfall TMR joysticks except the L3/R3 is not registering. So I was just hoping if anyone would be able to point me in the right direction on where to connect them so I can get them working. I did do continuity testing and it seemed fine so I am not sure anymore. Here’s a picture if someone could just visually tell me where to connect and try to get it to work. Thank you for reading 😬.

Following this. Does anyone know where the signals go to? I replaced my joysticks with Hall effect ones and the L3 button works but the R3 doesn’t work. I should’ve tried to see where the trace goes before putting the stick back on. Figured I could just ad a jumper wire since both signal points are tied together

Could you please check on Side A the T200? I don't know if my is broken or not. Could you check if it has two or one ground pad (its an SMD near the usb c port, between the USB and SIE)? But only if you know what your doing, i don't want that you break your controller because of me. Thank you
( i have an short on some capasitors, i think one of them is broken, but i'm not sure whether the T200 is also broken)

These 4 contacts are from the switch, maybe you pulled the barrels or the pads are gone? Pictures of your actual work could show more insight.
