Controller is not recognizing inputs on pc and ps3

I have recently open my old controllers and cleaned it because i thought it will fix the no inputs issue, well it is still broken and no inputs are recognized, got to my pc and look at controller properties and started to mash buttons and nothing is lighting up even the analog sticks arent recognized, how to fix it? I cant connect it to the ps3 because the ps button is not recognized too. The model is CECHZC2H A2

@supermememaker2 … sounds like either a shorted board or loose connector/ solder joint. i would follow this guide to get to the input board and look for any signs of damage. also, look for any damage to the connectors/leads while disassembling/reassembling. post back here if this doesnt help and we can try further diagnostics.

I actually have 3 controllers. 1 ok 2 bad ones. 2 bad ones are different and 1 ok is an old one and that held up good.
