I Paid $99 for a BROKEN Xbox Elite 2 - This One Was A Tricky Fix. The controller was in pretty good condition except for the strong smoke smell. However, after testing I found several of the buttons didn't work. Once I got the controller opened up I found the controller had liquid damage. Cleaned everything up and tested it again...but the buttons still didn't work. Reflowed a BGA chip on one of the motherboards...but that also didn't get the buttons working. Then I noticed more liquid damage on another one of the chips. Cleaned that up and resoldered the joints and then tested the buttons again and...they worked! A bit of a tricky fix but good to finally get everything working.

This was such a good video. But i do miss the part where you put everything back together and address the smoke odor and how to remove it.
Been meaning to get one so I ordered. Thanks !

Am i the only one that thinks broken controllers cost too much for a BROKEN CONTROLLER THAT YOU GOTTA MESS WITH AND FIX? BUYING COMPONENTS ASWELL? Like jeez.
Those trigger motors may have been the smoke point looks like someone dropped a drink on the pad or dropped it in the sink (salavating gamers) lol, dose it still rumble at the triggers? GT85 spray might make it smell nice?

-Steve, Tronics Fix
New shirt idea
Just like Davy Jones.
I'm a fan of repairing things but when something has warranty still active, I'm always gonna get it replaced/repaired under warranty. Bought a HP x360 elitebook with a bad keyboard that has warranty, saved a few hundred £££ from the going used price.
Walter White, as an electronics repair guy: "I *am* the warranty"
@@RPGillespie I am the one who repairs
"What kind of warranty is this??"
"I AM THE WARRANTY!!!!"
"I am here, because you broke something" Weellll, nope. I am just here for entertainment 😊
Either way, thanks for stopping by!
Same
I'm here coz this is in my recommendation
What got me dying was that every time he came back and said “it’s put back together enough to test it” it was always less put together than the time before 😂
😭😭😭🤣😅🤣😂🤗😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂🤣
When Steve said, "We fixed it!" I was like, "We did it Steve!". That's a good feeling. :D
I loved that part too dude! I have been learning a lot from this guy since I start watching his vids!
Lol I thought the same thing. I was thinking I just watched the video and through our team work, we did it!!!
Spoiler alert jeeeeez
Happy Tears
this is so wholesome :)
it's actually super cool to see you working on something you haven't worked on before. Gives a lot more insight into the problem-solving method! Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed! I've got another great video coming up where I fix 25 of the Elite 1 controllers that has a number of things I've never fixed before.
@@Tronicsfix can't wait for that video!
@@Tronicsfix That is how you learn how to fix them though! Trial by fire! :)
Steve: “When in doubt, take more screws out!”
Exactly!
Wait, that was 20 minutes? That was fast.
Ha, ha...glad it went by fast. It's always hard to know how long to make these videos.

10:21 I found a solution to drifting analog sticks. All you need to do is pry open those 2 green containers on the module. There should be a small disc in there. You just have to clean that entire container and the disk with isopropyl alcohol and place the disk in perfectly. Your problem should be solved instantly. Works for me every time, however it’s a temporary solution lasting for about 6 months or as long as a normal analog stick.
@cpt ghost he actually made a video on this just look up his 3 ways to fix controller drift video.
I love how thorough you are. You clean everything..a true commitment to quality work.
Thank you!
This is why I come to watch his videos, to watch him q-tip every nook & cranny.
When Steve has a Device on the Table...
Warranty has left the Building....
Ha, ha...for sure!
Nice pfp
The more complicated the fix, the more fun it is to watch! Good job TronicsFix!
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying these.
Smoke smell? Water damage? I bet that dude spilled bong water on that thing 😂
that controller is an honest work of art. glad you could get it working properly again.
Thanks!
"I'm here, because you broke something" LOL best intro ever.
Funny you would make a video on this controller, I recently purchased a faulty Xbox One Elite Series 2 controller myself for €79. Upon opening it up, I was kind of shocked at the state of it, I have a hard time understanding what happened to it but I got it to work in the end.
It was missing the magnet for the hall effect sensor on the left trigger (I could only find one from an elite series 1 on ebay, figured it would do).
The support bracket for the magnet was broken and the broken half was missing as well (I could only find these brackets for either the regular controllers, ended up ordering one for an S controller).
The left shoulder button didn't work, didn't even click in (turns out the metal plate it fits onto had been bent a lot, had to realign it).
The right trigger rattled when vibrating (had to tighten it down).
In the process of opening the previous owner broken one of the little pillar that holds the left bumper in, no biggie, it works fine without that. They also broke one of the structures that holds thee controller fascia into place and they broke one of the structures that holds the silver plastic on the top of the controller into place so it looks slightly misaligned.
Anyway, I got it to work fine and I'm happy with that.
Nice work! Controllers can be challenging to repair because of how badly they're treated sometimes.
@@Tronicsfix yeah, I've been struggling with some ps4 controllers. One of them still has drift even after replacing the offending analog stick twice, with a new one.
@@hadesmcc That's a tough one. I haven't done enough of them to give you any ideas.
@@Tronicsfix I'll have to keep at it. I had a similar issue with an Xbox One Elite Series 1 controller but that had been my mistake, I had moved one SMC with the hot air inadvertently. Fixing that fixed the issue but that is not the case with this rogue DS4 controller. :)
André Coelho I bought a DualShock 4 off eBay which had a broken analog stick/drift issue. I replaced the joystick module and still had the stick drift. There’s two resistors and depending on which way the game character moves with the stick drift, one or both will have to be replaced. The character moves back on its own and won’t move forward so that tells me the resistor on the left has to be changed. You’ll have to keep changing the resistor until you find the right one and luckily I only have had to change it once or twice.
even though I'm not a consistent viewer of his videos I'm glad he made this one, it literally just saved me from tossing out or setting aside my only veeery expensive controller, keep up the great work
Glad to hear it!
Steve is the repair genie, that appear every time we break something. So good to have him!
Ha, ha!
PS4 and Xbox One controllers are the first devices I started fixing on my channel. It's nice to see that an expert like you still make similar mistake as me when you repair these. It's also nice to see the difference between a novice like me and an expert. :)
I had actually fixed one of those a week ago. Drift issue. Fixed it up. There is a website I use to test every controller I work on, which happens to be the site you used. Funny how its registered as a 360 controller.
That was strange but still worked fine. I'm not that familiar with that site so I wasn't sure if that was normal or not.
@@Tronicsfix I will say the gamepad tester app has given me bad readings before. I replaced the sticks on one, tested it with the app, and everything looked fine. The customer brought it back with the same issue. So I used that site and sure enough the drift was still there. So it's good to have a backup just in case.
@@HumanDelta38 yes true also windows 10 has a buildin controller test which also works very good on finding drifting.
In my experience fixing Xbox one controllers I say "It's fixed....for now..." lol
Lol!
Can u upload more pls
Just as a helping hand, in the case where there are 2 holes there should be two more analogue sticks as they ship 6 all together, 3 different sizes
Superb video as usual :)
3:37 interesting adverts youve got there ;)
I watched a solid 4 minutes before realizing a broken/parts controller costs $100.
Man its not much more to buy a working one lol
@@CallumSk8er from what I saw the series 2 is around $170 so it’s near double the price..
@@ajfergy5569 parts man parts.
If it's a broken controller he should be charging no more than $40 for it I mean geez
I just bought a basically brand new one for $100
21:27 The moment when you are so happy that you fixed it because it wasnt a waste and he didnt give up ^^
I'm so jealous of your know-how in fixing and repairing broken electronic devices. Great video!
Thanks!
I appreciate how nervous you sounded at the beginning, I love taking stuff apart and actually welcome that feeling. That’s how confidence is built over time.
Dang, love the content dude. Would love to see more PS4 and Xb1 fixes again, those were very entertaining. Appreciate the hard work dude.
Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah i wanna see more console repairs to ive rewatched the old ones at least 6 times
I love how you just try your luck on these items you've never opened before instead of following tutorials.
I do follow tutorials if it's something I just have no clue how to fix.
He doesn't follow tutorials because he makes ones :
0:10 I’m only here because I’m a subscriber and I like your videos. I’m not a gamer what so ever and I don’t want to fix anything.
Me too!
i'm watching this as for a disassembly guide and well, I paid 80 bucks for a used one with a broken right bumper switch, switch itself costed me a buck, replaced it myself and now works perfectly
Dude. This channel is so genius. Your not just attracting other people who are also into this kind of stuff, but you’re also attracting the people who are like me. The ones who don’t know how Electronics are put together but have said to themselves one day, “I wonder what’s inside of a XBOX Controller.” Genius dude. Genius...
The switch battery in his wallet - he did it again! Seen it on the last one as well :)
But you can’t fit that in the ridge wallet 🤔
Ha, ha...glad someone noticed that! That's true that you can't fit that in the Ridge wallet!
@@Tronicsfix You can rely on me, I was like the first and probably only one who pointed it out in the other video :p
I've always wanted one of those controllers
Other than the smoke it's a really nice controller.
I’ve had two the first had a few issues got a replacement and works great only thing the right bumper doesn’t respond sometimes have to press it hard or in the right place but that goes away after a while
I have an Elite 1 and Elite 2. I really like my Elite 2. Well worth the money for the quality and customization.
Nice is there a ps4 version
Ghostreaper 098 ones similar to it
My mans slowly gonna evolve me into an American dad in his mid 40s, I feel more like that with every video I watch lmao. Nice wholesome content brother
I repair consoles for a living and your videos have always been very helpful and Informative
Great to hear!
Alright Steve, I'll be looking forward for your analysis of the internal hardware of the next Xbox SX and PS5, and their "repairability" when they come out!
Anyway, thanks for the good video, as always!!!
Can't wait!
When I see "I don't know what is wrong with it" on eBay it's always water damage.
Same goes with a lot of Nintendo Switches. "It suddenly stopped charging" means "they pulverized the USB port to death".
Palms sweaty
Chain smoker with sweaty palms, a deadly combination.
u saved my life man,my RB button was not working ,and i had no slightest idea how to pry open the controller,my button was amazingly behind bent and was not touching the plastic button,i fixed it works fine now,thank you for your tutorial how to open it!
I always watch these videos to see how fixable something is before buying. I just bought a ‘lightly used’ elite series 2 controller on eBay and this video gives me the confidence to repair if and when the time comes.
i love that intro xD "I'm here because you broke something"
You should make a new piece of merch with "When in doubt take out more screws"
Ha, ha...that's a good idea
@@Tronicsfix or custom upgrade the micro usb to type c or the pro
How to remove smoke smell: Get vinegar (a shotglass full should be enough) and a big plastic bowl. Place the controller and the shotglass full of vinegar under the plastic bowl. Wait a few days.
The patience this man had is insane
Great fix, I would have been totally lost.
Little question though, will it not get worse overtime? I thought corrosion, unless you get every single bit off, is a timebomb
Yes, generally speaking, you need to remove it all or it will continue to corrode over time.
@@Tronicsfix ah right, thank you for the response, I was thinking of starting to buy some broken products myself so I'll know to stay away
3:36 those ads at the bottom of the screen look... yeah
looks like they're now blurred out lol
@@stephenkamenar what were they lol
been looking for someone commenting at the time what as up with the blurred parts at the start....this kind of explains it
Lowkey steve’s videos helped me, especially for ps4 controllers because i change their shells a lot and steve had the best explanation of how to do it
Idk what it is, but I've been binge watching your videos.. I used to repair older iphones > 4-7 then stopped. Watching your videos makes me want to start repairing electronics again! Keep up the awesome vids and the great work
I would give up in the second attempt, congratulations !
Sometimes you just gotta keep trying!
Is the shirt going to be on the merch shop? That is the perfect thing to wear to work.
It's already there! It's on the merch shelf below the vid.

Its okay to be interested in the process. I dont like PlayStation or Nintendo, but Im still interested in how they build their tech.

I love to see you repairing game console
Thanks!
Started fixing up controllers myself and your videos have helped tremendously. Keep up the great work!
I'm on my second controller the 1st started stick drift within a month. So far the second is good I wish the sticks were easily swapped.

That was awesome Steve. Im about to attempt fixing one of these soon too so just needed to see the setup.
I would never do any type of work that you do but it's so entertaining to watch you troubleshoot these things
Great video, Steve.
I have 2 questions: how many hours did the process take for you to repair this controller?
And, what reasonable price would you charge someone for fixing this controller?
TronicsFix: “I paid $99 for a broken controller”
Me: laughs in in $180
I want to get one but it’s so expensive
@@davidf1805 It's worth it, I have a Xbox elite series 1 and I've had it for over 3 years and the grips just started expanding
Catman817 you got lucky I am on my 3th in 8 months
@@Valentijnpeek I'm glad I got lucky, there's no way I could afford a new controller every few months
Dont forget the taxes! I paid nearly $200
You must’ve read my mind, just ordered 6 elite controllers to fix and this videos gonna help if any have the same issues
I've got a video where I repair 25 of them (most of them I fix on camera) coming up! The first series though.
I used to smoke. I quit like 13 years ago. I never knew how stinky it is. That said, that person must have smoked a ton to make it linger on non fabric!
I love my Elite 2, most of the time. Seems myself, and others have a problem with it shutting off in Rocket League. I just keep it plugged into the power.
The whole design of kit is great. The case, with a charger. It's pretty flashy.
i love his face in the thumbnail
These things, brand new, are $170 a pop. For that money you'd think they come encased in gold and made out of carbon fiber.
Instead for me came broken as brand new, lmao what a joke, and i never had issues with the normal £60 one.
Soon my Xbox controller will need some fix... But right now I'm learning to fix even a super expensive Elite controller with Steve. Wow!
Just came across your videos, and I really love how dedicated you are to finding a fix before ordering new parts! I've been tinkering with hardware ever since high school, and I definitely would have stopped and just replaced a part at a lot of the points you came across in this video. Definitely inspired to look a little closer next time to see what I can find.
I'm wearing a T-shirt with 'I'm the dude who broke this"

@@Tronicsfix I found your Shirt funny too :)
When I see the title and you find it as a tricky fix, I’m surprised
I'm actually not as good with controllers. I haven't fixed as many of them.
@@TronicsfixI'm sorry to ask but my controllers right trigger does not work unless I blow in the controller any fixes you know?
@@FOREVER-qj3rt If you feel comfortable taking it apart, the pad for the shoulder button is probably dirty and needs to be cleaned. That's my best guess and where I would start troubleshooting
I’ve been buying and fixing elite series 1 controllers. I also mod new frames to get them to fit with new bumpers, triggers, and faceplates from the one S/ one x controller. Just got an elite for $15 that just needed one board connector re-soldered.
I think the most valuable thing in your videos is that IPA that you clean everything with. I haven't been able to find any anywhere for 7 months!
[[SPOILER ALERT]]
I love how happy and satisfied he is at the end when he realizes the buttons work. I felt so happy for you, I love your videos, great job!
Thank you!
I love a happy ending.
Me too!
I love the shirt! I have watched your videos many times before i broke my MacBook but your videos gave me the confidence to fix it. Spilled a beer in it and it wouldnt turn on. Ripped it apart cleaned everything and it works perfect!
When he said "we don't need the warranty anyway."
Me: Yeah you are the warranty
Tronix: Uses tool to remove each button carefully
Me: Flips the shell upside down to let every button fall out 🤣
Haha that's true! Sometimes I'm in a hurry taking apart some device and suddenly I say to myself "wait wait... this is not something that Tronix would do... so take it easy and do it correctly!"
@@Cabeza492 Plot twist - Tronics only does it like that on camera and is reckless normally to save time

Interesting
@@Ebolachicken say what? Cheese grime? Not the one I'm thinking about?? O_o
Make a warrently claim on it. Most people forget, my headphones recently broke but luckily had 1 week left on my warrenty so sent them in and even got a newer model because my current ones were so old & discontinued
@@sm00th77 And what next, after warranty runs out (1-year only I pressume)?
Used mine alot. every single day for 9 months. thumbsticks seem to wear a lot less than the old ones.. you might just have a faulty one....

That was a tough one, that looked time consuming.
$99 for a broken controller? They must be at least $200 brand new then.
$180 actually.
Seems like it's not worth it to pay another $80 with a warranty.
0:03 You don't knoooooow me.
Lol
This felt like an intense anime episode, where the protagonist is fighting the villian and comes out victorious in the end
Ha, ha...true!
My thumb sticks had some glue on the threads to keep them from rotating under normal use.
Anyways I fix my drift issue with the left thumbstick drifting up and down by pulling the top cover off,then the thumbstick bell,pulling the potmeter away from the board,pulling out the wiper disc,straighting the wiper contact point to where it's the only point that can touch the top outer ring,cleaning the carbon traces with isp.
The top ring had a rough spot on it,so I used some Tweezers to Gently clean it being careful to NOT bust up the carbon,then used a #2 pencil to add some carbon back in,then clean the traces again and no more drift.
It took about 50 trys of pulling the wiper disc out and getting it straightened just right,tho, so just be patient..
I disassembled and fixed the shoulder buttons on an Xbox One controller before. They requires you to melt the plastic welds to get into them. It's not easy and I recommend replacing them over fixing
Hmmm...all of the Xbox One controllers I've taken apart that piece just pops out. I'm filming a video now of repairing 25 Xbox Elite controllers and I'm replacing a number of them. Maybe I'm not thinking of the same part you are.
@@Tronicsfix how much were all of them?
@@sawyermack7739 probably around $300-$400 or less

They seem like that at first but they're really not too bad.
I wouldn’t have ever been able to put it back together.
@@jammedhands me too

Thank you for watching!
Hey I just want to say thank you for being you and doing the videos. You helped me open my PS 4 Slim and make sure it didn't have dust. Also I am a computer technician on the side from my main job and now I can work on my PS4 Slim thanks to you.
Perfect timing, the RB tactile switch on my Xbox One S Controller is broken. I'm trying to do a repair. This is a great video so many twist and turns but positive result at the very end.
I've learned that the stick is calibrated onto the motherboard by Microsoft, so replacing it without calibrating the potentiometer will caused the dead zone to be off.
It's 2020 and people still smoke indoors near their electronic devices?
That is just disgusting
Is there any way to fix stick drift on dualshock 4 if so do a video on it. Pls
Yep...same way as in this video. I've also got another video coming up that shows all the ways to do it.
@@Tronicsfix thanks for the quick answer cant wait for that up coming vid
Great video. If I may just add somthing... You don't actually have to replace the whole thumbstick module, you can actually pry open that greenish square piece and then replace the circular spring inside with the one from your new module.
I was having this exact issue on a regular Xbox One controller after I replaced the sticks, so this video is actually extremely helpful to me.
Xbox really didn’t want people to fix the elite controller 2
They don't want people fixing anything.
how are there comments from 3 days ago
My channel members get early access. I also do my best to answer all member questions and comments.
You're so active to the people who comment on your videos. Not sure why all RUclipsrs dont have fan engagement like you do. Otherwise, fantastic video.
P.S. I watched a video about you dissasembling a PS4 and used that knowledge to fix the front USB ports on the front of my PS4 and tore the thing down to bare plastic and bathed the thing, now its good as new. Thanks, dude.

@@michaelbaessler8982 some design idiots :-/
How did you edit the comment and misuse “women”. Also I’m not hating, just messing around.
I've noticed that many controller fixes are temporary and new problems arise after just a few weeks. It's almost like controllers are meant to break down. Never buy refurbished when new is only slightly more money.
11:52 Cleaning is a love/hate job. Hate doing it, but after get all the “ppl dirt” out, & other stuff.....sure is SO satisfying seeing dirty Q-Tips, & a clean board/device👍🏻
Also, I’m kinda certain the person knew was liquid damage, so why not just say....had liquid spilled, lol, but ppl just always deny it🤦🏼♂️
Loved the vid, thx!
