(If you would like to see how it’s done, here is a video on how to do it : https://youtu.be/V6QC4pWJpc4 ) You will need a soldering iron and a glue gun. First, you can try to solder back the connector in place using your soldering iron. Only the 2 pins next to each other are important. The other pins and just to hold the connector in place (which can be done with hot glue once your are sure everything is working). If you can’t do it, you will need to solder tiny wires to the 2 pins next to each other. Make sure that those 2 pins are not short toghether (Solder and wire should NOT bridge the pins toghether [no contact between them]). Then you can solder those wire to the biggest components you can find on the normal path of the corresponding pins. If you can’t find some that you are able to solder to, then you can gently scratch the top green layer of the motherboard on the normal path of the corresponding pins and solder your wire to the cooper layer underneath. Once it’s all done, you can glue back the...

Hi guys, I found these 5 tricks to know what's wrong with your dead controller. If none of these work, it's probably a problem with your motherboard. Here is the link : https://youtu.be/I7HDa6UExQ4

I found an answer online and 18 % seems to be the % when drift can occur in some game.

Actually, you might fix it by cleaning it if you are lucky. Otherwise, I would try to change the conductive pad. Here is a video where I had a similar problem and that cleaning worked really well : https://youtu.be/yilEo_n_364

You could try to change the conductive film. I did it in this video if you need to know how to do it : https://youtu.be/p6FBE-WPYUo In my case it was the up, left and right button not working but a damage conductive film could cause X or the PS button to not work.

Do you try to change the battery ?

You probably rip some traces and need to run some jumper wire

You need to find where that pin connect and run a jumper wire to it. Try to follow the trace on the motherboard. It could be on this side or on the other side of the board.

I saw that the link post above was not working anymore so I do a video on how you can test the wire connection and solve the issue. If you are lucky, you won’t even need a multimeter to do this repair. https://youtu.be/k9sDR7wS3rg

Bring it back to store and trade it for an other one. This kind of fault is really strange.
