How do I test controllers
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.4 года назад
I test each controller BEFORE and AFTER each repair, you need to do this to first discover what is wrong and then to find out if your repair worked. I am using Linux on my laptop running FEREN and the app I am using is jstest-gtk, you can find it here: jstest-gtk.gitlab.io To connect the controller to the computer use any USB to PS2, my favorite is KADE : www.kickstarter.com/projects/kadevice/k...
Model M Repair - Example 2

This has multiple problems, really worn-out left stick and damaged cable.
Model M Repair - Example 4
Просмотров 3654 года назад
Repurposed wire from model A into Mitsumi, also the model H can be used without re arranging the wires, but the connector is upside-down, also H cables are harder to find.

Replacing the cable with another from a model A, you can do this as long as you re arrange the pins on the connector.

This one it appears to have a bad ribbon cable, but as it turns out it was the PCB, I ended up saving that for parts to fix the other 5 I had.

I was able to find 6 Mitsumi controllers, I am going to go through each one and find out what's wrong with each one as an example.
Model M Repair - Button differences
Просмотров 2234 года назад
As I been saying on these PS2 video series, almost nothing on the PS2 controllers can be shared, even the individual buttons are shipped differently. The only thing that so far can be used across all models are the thumbsticks.
PS2 Controller Salvage - Liquid Spill Damage

On this controller, liquid was spilled and the PCB was too deteriorated to rescue, so I only saved the cable, always check the whole unit to determine what to rescue.
Model H Repair - Example of a typical repair.
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад
This is the most common problem with the H controller, anytime you have buttons that are always pressed or not working, it's likely the ribbon cable. Also you will notice that the Select and Start almost always work as well as the analog, that is the tell tale sign of a defective ribbon cable.
PS2 Controller Salvage - Wait until you need it.
Просмотров 5394 года назад
Do not dismantle a controller you know you don't have a part for, wait until one turn out or when you need it for parts, never before. Taking them apart immediately only makes a big mess, while if you leave intact it will take less space and save you time.
PS2 Controller Salvage - Damaged Cable

When do you decide the cable is damaged and it needs to be removed and the board saved. Any cable where the insulation has exposed the internal wiring for more than 1/4 of an inch, need to be replaced.

Model H Repair - Why ribbon cable fails
dude, great channel. You needa keep going bro
Thanks for sharing.. a technicia friend of mine recommended to look for the M model for the ps2.. i got one around 2014 and still using it to this day.. Just got lucky i guess..
Amazing video. Thank you so much.
What about using conductive paint to repair the original, is it possible? I bet those crappy non original boards won't last long.
Wow you helped me figure out why mine didn't work didn't know it had to go to the right thanks
Hi! I lost resistor R6 and now I don’t know what value it is! Can you help with it? Cannot find the info, scheme or picture in internet for Mitsumi controller
Good video❤❤❤
what should i search to find the specific 18 pin connectors themselves,
What program are you using on your pc to test controllers?
Most likely he use the program you can see at 1:06 until 9:33 😉 It even clearly shows the name of the program… 🥸
Hi there! Do you think someone who is a beginner at repairing devices, who has zero soldering experience, could repair a PS2 controller? One of my controllers is model H and I am looking into buying some membranes for it. I think I will stick with the 43A, but I am curious as to how long you think it takes to repair a controller normally? Thank you very much for this informative video!
you will have to watch the videos, the length of the videos, shows you how long it takes and all the steps, if you think you can do the same, then yes.
@@restartrepairs4393 Awesome, I ordered 5 43A's just in case of some issues. I think I got this :)
I prefer the old ps1 dual shift because the mother board is wood & they’re push buttons too.
Du coup le problème c'est la nappe des boutton !
How can I get the pad
awesome videos, i have learned a ton
Thanks for this great video. I searched for PS2 button repair because I started playing my PS2 now that I have a Retrotink 5k, but the D pad feels kind of hard to use and my thumb is sore. I'm not sure if it's the age of my 24 year old controller or if my old hands aren't used to the D-pad. Any advice?
Jesus Christ you need soldering and shit? Bro wtf. I bought a brand new in package controller and the left analog stick won't work. I took it apart, don't see anything out of the ordinary. Now I can't put it back together.
is it possible to solder on that white latched ribbon connector to the other pin connector location? Id imagine it should be fine. Ill try it myself once i can get my hands on a replacement part (but I dont know the component name) my motherboard has the 2 pins for securing it, though hot glue could work if the 2 side pins arent there.
I wonder if the extra pin goes to ground and the trace running around the unit is som sort of shield
Hi, can you say why you found the model 42A is not good and it needs to be the 43A ? FYI the ribbon in my H model, in the corner is a number 11 12 13 14 15 16, the other corner is 3B or 38. Thanks for all the video's explaining and helping us repair our stuff.
Can you tell me where to buy some controllers?
I don't buy anything... or sell, I work for a company
@@restartrepairs4393 okay I understand I saw on eBay sosagames sells broken controllers was thinking of buying them and using your videos to fix them. Thanks for the reply
A SERIE 2 MODELS? JOYSTICK PS2
Perfekt! Es hat auf Anhieb geklappt. Sehr gut erklärt und bestens gezeigt. Danke 👍
I never found a singl H revision working, they are the worst garbage hahaha
This is good information the pads seems to deteriorate and the symptoms of all button non responsive are common I bought some cheap aftermarket ds2 and the sticks have massive dead zones and is way too sensitive and the shells are very thin and brittle too bad the genuine ones are so annoying to fix
It are videos like this that have most value to me! A PS2 controller fully explained! Also I like the fact that after the original connector gets replaced, all you need is to switch the plastic button PCB without soldering anymore...
Where are you mate? Your videos are so good, it's a shame not having you around anymore! I hope you're fine! Thanks a bunch for the amount of knowledge you've put out there !
I am here, currently fixing PSP's....lots of them
@@restartrepairs4393 Oh that's really great to know about! Didi you quit making videos of your repairs? I guess it's really time consuming, so I would understand that. Thank you for replying anyways! Take care :)
@@juni_gamefr1312 yeah, I am not motivated, neither have the gear to do that, sorry.
huh film pad is not held by that black piece on my controller. just pushed onto the board when u close the controller. much like how the ps3 and 4 controller is. for whatever reason my l3 is not working as well :/
if you bridge both sides of one of the buttonstraces, the button should be on constantly unless the bridge is broken right? if so could you solder 2 small wires onto the 18 pin connector and connect them to another button, to make a paddle mod? normally people just use custom flex pcbs but there are none for ps2 and i know you wouldnt be able to easily modify one of these flex pcbs so i figure if you solder onto the actual connector maybe it would work
great video. Now its time to repair my pad's beybeee
Thanks😀
How did he know that the ribbon connection is broken?
You mean like why the buttons didn't work during testing and that's the purpose of the ribbon cable, those are the buttons.
best video on the subject so far...nice and detailed !
thanks man!
Thank you a lot for this ❤
What heat gun do your use?
O único vídeo bem detalhado encontrado aqui no youtube. Parabéns
Eai arrumou o seu ?
Some buttons still work so I've just cleaned the board. Next time I set up the PS2, we'll find out if it works.
PS2 Fat has 2 USB ports. I wonder if DS3 works?
Hey would you happen to have any of these as spare I could get my hands on?
I don't, when they are in really bad shape, they get dismantled and every single piece gets bagged, tagged used on the next one that needs it, to me, one "spare" can fix 4-5 others.
Hi! What model/type of heat gun do you have?
Ordered 18 pin but... My controller board is very different. The pins are diagonal 9 holes top / 9 pins bottom so I'm not sure how to solder the new one. I should have not desoldered and better off just pulling out the ribbon maybe?
can i please have 2 ps2 controllers i subcribed
probably that trace that runs around the flat is a shield since it connects to the gnd on the pcb
I have two A models with different internals. Is that normal?
yes, if you watch the other videos I think you will see several
really detailed tutorial! i have a question, for which controller would the 42-A be used?? it is usually sold on the same "shop" on ali and they kinda look similar
never mind, i just watched your last video😅
Picked some of these replacement membranes up a while ago. Only started trying to fix a half dozen controllers today. What I'm finding is more often than not the R2/L2 buttons need way more pressure to activate than the original Sony membranes. No amount of trimming seems to help.
very helpful explenation. thanks
Great video, whats the electric screwdriver model you use ?

Qual o nome do programa mostrado no vídeo para testa o controle?
I have a brand new (old stock) PS2 controller that has been sitting in the box since I bought my PS2 slim. It was never even taken out of its plastic bag. Yet several buttons/d-pad directions don't work when I tried it recently. After doing some research I learned that the PS3 controllers also stop working due to sheer age. Really sucks that Sony didn't make their controllers more durable when you have much older NES controllers that still work perfectly fine. We can only hope that PS4 and PS5 controllers don't have the same issues as the PS2 and PS3 ones.
I have bad new for you, as you pointed out with the PS3 controllers just stopped working even if you do not use it due to age, the same happens to the PS4 and PS5, I actually fix pretty much everything retro, I just never upload the vids, but I can tell for after fixing several thousands Sony controllers, that is an issue, however, is most cases you can fix it by cleaning the controller ribbon where it connects to the board and that fixed the issue on the PS3, PS$ and PS5's
It's common that the foam pressing the flex cable onto the board has gone flat just disassemble and pad it
Well there's only so much you can do when your buttons are pressure sensitive (which both PS2 and PS3 have). The buttons on the NES controllers and the like are simply on or off, they don't have to worry about resistance changing because all you're doing is jumping connections together.
I don't think your ressistance theory is correct I have 2 controllers dissasembled 1 working 1 not and ressistance on both is over 19k ...
Love this video!! Could you recommend a reliable source you use to find parts like this for the ps2 controller parts? Also what is the name of the software you used to test the controller? That was awesome! Thank you so much again for this video!
