How does the gyroscope work?

When I reassembled it I accidentally tore off one of the two wires from the left vibrator (with 3 blades). Since I don’t have any soldering tools I decided to assemble it all the way to test if I managed to fix it (the left joystick was dragging left). Besides the fact that only the right vibrator (with 1 blade) works, gyroscope typing also stopped working. I was wondering if it’s using the vibrator or if I broke something else. Otherwise works just fine.

Hi Jq,

The wire you broke on the vibrator supplies power (red) or ground (black) and is not related to gyroscope capability. The gyroscope is probably on the circuit board as a chip somewhere. You can try to check if all the cables within the controller are well seated in their sockets.

thanks! btw. Is it safe to use if only the red cable is disconnected or should I disconnect the other one first?

The red cable usually supplies power. As long as the wire is broken in a way that the metal core isn't exposed, it should be alright. You can just snip it with scissors.

Note: This applies in this specific situation only. Do not assume the same for any other repair situations!
