Thank you so much! Instead of the rag, I used q-tips. I bought a $30 camo dualshock from a pawn shop and it was so bad to the point where the triangle and circle buttons wouldn't go down. But I took it apart and fixed it up really well. The only thing is that the buttons are now super quiet. So I guess that's a plus lol. But I really do appreciate this video
ty, appreciate the help man...☝🏻💜
Mine still hasnt worked i followed all the steps my circle button wont work :(
thank you o much man i can finally click my square and triangle button comfortably
I broke mine and had to throw it away
Yeah super easy you just gotta take the entire thing apart.
Lol
I can't take apart the damn thing! The screws became rusted
lmao...I heard 4 screws n thought "k ..this doesn't so bad"...then he went full autopsy
im like....he'll no...surely the more I play the stick will go away
I can do this is 4 minutes easily. All you gotta do it pull it apart and clean it.
Yea how are you supposed to clean it if you are not taking it apart Einstein?
Well, after this, Maybie my sticking button isnt that bad
Did you end up giving it a shot?
@@Gamenetics yea i dont think they did
@@Gamenetics not after they had to suffer through this video
I have the problem but I’m very scared to take apart my controller
Stevenchuclecar 956 just blow on the buttons
Edit: if it becomes sticky again just do it again, also most likes i ever got on a comment.
Ariaan_YT lmaooo it actually works a littlr
Ariaan_YT crazy ! i fixed it how did you know it would work!
@@ariaan_yt27 bro wtf your insane i literally just did this after looking at your comment and its back to new guys seriously try this first
Ariaan_YT ummm THANK YOU 😳😳😳 it worked lmfaooooo
PS4 just needs to make better fkn controllers I bought like four now ffs
Deff agree, they spend too much time n money on the console but for some reason cant engineer a better controller..makes no sense
Same
PS4 has like the worst controllers
I’ve had mine for years now and it still works great
don't blame Sony for the controllers it only happens when you spill shit on it or hit the buttons to fucking much don't blame the entire company for your problem and if it was because of it don't forget Microsoft makes computers meaning they no more about buttons then Sony anyways
This kid just field-stripped this thing like Forrest Gump with a rifle
😂😂😂
Thank you sooooo much for providing such an awesome video mann, this helped me a ton 2 years later woww, my controller had this problem for time now and I just kept it in my drawer for ages since I couldn't use it due to literally the most important botton on the ps4 controller stuck lol ("the X button") but today I just decided to give it a try and guess what? I was lucky enough to find this video on the top of my recommendations. Keep helping people out like this man, Much love💚 I really appreciate it.💯
Hey mate, thank you so much for the kind words! This is why we put this video's together! Really happy to hear you got your controller working again! :)
When i did that i was extremely mad at you at first because the big pad in the middle fell out and i didnt see how to get it back in and i couldnt fit it back in. Then i just tried to put it back in from the other side. Shouldve done that first. Controller is fixed and at peak performance again. Thanks.
Thanks so much dude! I spilled hot sauce all over my controller and was scared it was gonna break, but after cleaning the outside and then watching this to clean the inside, my controller feels and plays like brand new :) this video also taught me how to customize my buttons just in case I ever want to in the future. Thanks so much once again!!
Lmao bruh hot sauce is also what I spilled over the controller. Gonna try out the strat used in this video and hope it works
1 like 1 respect for the kid who lost his controller doing this because of not having parent support
Now I’m scared too so it
evryone make sure your brother washes his hands
I’m 12 and I just did it it wasn’t that hard the buttons were sticky it’s my first time taking it apart and my parents didn’t help I’m glad I didn’t see this comment before because then I would have been to scared and then not had fixed it
@Mistah Rickitofen mayo claw it is
@Mistah Rickitofen btw I love your cod vids I play warzone
Shoutout this guy for making a actual method. It does take a little bit of time to take it apart and stuff but it does work so trust the process
Thank you so much for this video. Very clear instructions, helped me enormously in understanding the problem with my pad and ordering new parts. Generally I would advise all of us to just contact Sony if within warranty. Otherwise, try and be careful with how you open the outer casing, I used a flat screwdriver to pry all sides one by one carefully so I couldn't damage anything with too much force.
That's great Peter, if it's under warranty definitely grab yourself a fresh controller but we are always happy to help! More videos to come so stay tuned!
I had an issue where the controller buttons were always registering input as well as being stuck, I jist poured vodka on it while mashing the button until it worked, this is a much smarter solution
😂🤣🤣😂
Yes thank you sir
I needed this, but for others looking to follow this video, take things slow and be gentle as hell! He must have forgot that this is the first time for some of us. When you take the screws out make sure you slowly take it apart. Yanking or even a burst yank will fuck over your controller.
Hey this is a big comment read only if you want to spend 5 minuets of your time. Hey Gamenetics very helpful vid I recently got a new ps4 controller and unfortunately some oil somehow spilled on my controller causing sticky kinda stuck d pad so after watching this vid i took my broken old controller and oppened it up and did everything you did on my broken old controller to learn how to fix and tomorrow iam going to do the same on my other broken controller which still turns on, because the really old controller i practiced already on actually has not been turning on for 6 months now so iam going to be practicing on my other kinda old controller which i had for about 1 year and i started facing some issues but thankfully it still turns on but i still can not play any games on it so thats why i got a new controller which has oil stuck in it now. If my other controller still turns on after i rip it appart and fix it iam going to do it on my main controller which has oil in it.
It’s much easier to change the button assignments. Settings-> Accesibility. ->Button assignments
Thanks for posting this video, I was had some sticky buttons on my controller from 4 years of play and hated the feel of it so decided to try to sort it out. I was utterly terrified to take it apart incase I break it as ps4 controllers aren't cheap but following the steps in the video you helped me take it apart and clean the buttons with alcohol and put it together and it still works thankfully. Whilst taking it apart it was hard to take apart and I accidentally yanked the ribbon cable from the back plastic side and was terrified it broken it but thankfully the light still works. Once again cheers I wouldn't have attempted the fix without this video
Hey Josh this is such awesome feedback man, this is what we are trying to do for people, give them a good enough guide that they feel confident in giving that controller a fix instead of spending money! Super cool. If you have anything else you want to see us do give us a shout and we jus might.
This saved me buying a new controller 4 buttons wouldn't even press and now it works fine thanks so much for the video
Thank you! Our goal is to help as many people as we can to revive their controllers.
Alternative tools for some steps: if you have short nails try tweezers, also a paper towel may work for removing whatever is causing the residues causing the button stick(it did for me but idk what was in there to cause the issue), otherwise great tutorial!
Broo you just saved me from buying another pad
This is extremely helpful. Thank you. Controller looks dope btw.
Thank you so much for this tutorial ! You were super helpful and clear in your instructions. I managed to clean it and put it back together and it still works. Thank you very much !
Sooo, i took it apart and all I ended upneeding was to clean the buttons, and i think it messed up but it still works so thats good
Did this today and everything works just like new. Thanks for the vid!
Hey Eric that is great. We are putting out more fix it videos so if anything else happens be on the lookout! Also go check some of our other content! Thanks for the feedback.
I'm confused about the spring part I can't see what you do with them. I didn't have any inside my pa4 when I opened them up either can someone give me assistance asap.
Did a walkthrough with a friend of mine over the phone who never fixed a controller before. Now it works. Thanks alot much!!!
That's awesome Hawk, Thanks for the feedback.
This is the best video I’ve found to help with my controllers, you’re doing the lords work out here 🥺💙
Followed this through and although the insides to my controller were slightly different, it worked and I couldn’t be happier! The only thing was when reassembling the controller, I smashed a piece of plastic I assume is something to do with the light bar, though the light bar is still working. Thank you so much!!!
Bro is it the white plastic thing at 9:43 because I just broke it if so what did you do did you just leave it hanging out
@@takeover3915 hi, I can’t see in the video where you mean but mine was like a sheet of white and clear plastic that shattered. But yeah mate, I just took it out of the controller altogether
The Options button on one of my PS4 controllers was stuck and I saw this video. Quick tip: before you open your controller up just try 99.9% isopropyl and a cotton bud. I used this and was able to unstick the button without having to open it up :)
This came in so handy. Thank you for sharing how to do this. I was able to fix my husband's limited edition controller.
That's awesome to hear, that's why we make these videos! We are trying to make it as informative as possible so you can save some money and or save that favorite controller from the trash can! Great stuff SmiStar!
That's so kind of you to do such a favor to your husband! The world needs more people like you.
Thanks! This video helped me a lot. I thought it would be tough to do, but it was kinda easy. And now my controller's buttons don't stick anymore.
That's perfect man, I'm glad this helped out, once you learn the basics it does get kind of easy. It's all a step by step process and I'm glad this video got you through. Good job.
You could further demonstrate if this thing is now working fine or you messed it up?
I am having trouble putting the shoulder buttons back on, you made it looks so easy
someone in the comments said that you should just blow on the button to fix it. and it worked for me!! so before disassembling your controller, try to just blow air on it
Cheers mate I just needed to watch 5 mins. All sorted
That's what we like to hear!
I fixed mine by putting a tad bit of water where the button was sticky and spammed it and it will eventually get unstuck
@Titanium Animation make sure not to put a lot or you will damage the ribbon
Tbh I was gonna do it but I just slapped my controller with rubbing alcohol and it’s fine for now lol
Thank you for this tutorial I get to fix my controller buttons.
Thanks bro, it really means a lot to me. I really appreciate.
The cable for the power on the controller came unplugged from the plastic part of the controller and I’m not sure on how to get it back in
Sami Agemy same
the white ribbon with the blue tip??...
Whenever I press the x button on my controller it takes me to the home screen,how do you fix it?
Dont know if ur joking or not.😂😂😂 If you aren't youtube 'customise button assignments ps4' and watch whatever pops up
Charandev Singh what?
@@ratukinny1611 what are u confused on. Instructions are clear
@@ratukinny1611 i think he means to search up "custom button assignment on ps4" but i dont see how thats going to help you. I think you might have a faulty controller might be better to buy a new one
Replace the circuit ribbon
Bro this helped so much like I have the fake one with the skin on it and it was sticking to the bottom my x button till I watched this
this video motivated to clean it so much that I even bought a new shell and buttons :D
Is there another way to fix the buttons? My X button is not sticky, but it is stuck deep. :0 I don't have a screwdriver nor a toothpick, and for the latter. I used a small knife, due to not having any toothpicks. Is there a way to fix a ps4 button that is stuck deeper into the controller? Thanks!
thanks for the video, really helped
when i put my controller back together, the light wasnt working nor was my controller charging. Do you know why?
Bro this guide helped me so much thank you for the great guide
We appreciate the feedback!
dropped an alcoholic beverage on the 2 I have and definitely noticed the buttons were impossible to play with...just took one apart yesterday w/o watching ANY diy videos and I got that sucker working perfectly...then I realized that it wasn't charging and the light wasn't working either...smmfh...ty for this video (which I should have watched b4 I took it apart) helped me fix the only part of the controller that didn't need to be fixed...lol...appreciate the help man, ☝🏻💜
Hey mate, we are so glad you got it fixed! Glad this helped, next time you might need to control those beverages ;) Appreciate the time you took to share this with us! Have an awesome day and stay safe from Corona!
@@Gamenetics lol, friggin beverages have a mind of their own sometimes...taking every precaution possible with COVID, hope you and yours are doing the same?...ty for reaching out, ☝🏻💜🍻
Very nice vid I might have to buy fancy sticks and buttons just to upgrade it
Great video man, my controller is wayyy better now. Love it👍🏼
U just earned yourself a subscriber 👍🏾
thank u it works better than only giving alcohol without open the ds
Literally Q tip And alcohold around the button smh
Yeah but i do that every time i have to play, then next time i pick it up, is stuck again aaarrrhhh.lol
Ivan Torres facts
Ivan Torres dude I read your comment tried it and it worked thanks
that's what I did
🙏🏾
Thank you for that. Really useful
None of the screws would fit the black part that you but the battery in. Im not missing any screws because i have five, and i tried them separately so i wouldn't get mixed up and none of them would fit
That's very strange, you used the same 5 screws to take it apart and put it back together? I don't think we'd have an explanation for that unfortunately.
To help anyone thats like me out who sees the video and decides to only watch the disassembly and think your a full fucking handyman now. You have to put the pad on with the top of the case faced down took me an hour to except the fact that I need to actually watch the whole video. Overall though very useful video
Thank you so much. The triangle ♻️ button stoped working for me and this helped so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!
Didn’t know I could “clean ass” with denatured alcohol lmao
Wouldn't recommend but good eye hahaha, Thanks for watching man, more to come!
I have another model and I had so much trouble passing the dpad ribbon through a little opening, it took me like 20 mins lol and the square is still failing to press half the times
thanks! this is a great tutorial that fixed my controller. Thank you so much!
Yeah it's (_SUPER EASY_) to pull the connecting wire out the wrong way. Should of watched again to be sure!!! BE CAREFUL you don't make that mistake. Jeeeeessh, I hope this works when it's back together with a couple left over screws and such.......TY for the tutorial though helped 100%.
Use a little rubbing alcohol and the corner of some paper in each button, should work just fine. There’s a video about it.
Thanks my controller is back in action! 👍🏾
The white flappy thing that we use our nails on broke off can I use something like tape to keep the wire down?
Instructions unclear My hand is now inside the controller
Where did you get the replacement buttons? Link pls
Omar Hernandez you can get some on amazon
Thx bro I would of been buying a new controller if it weren’t for you.
worked for me fixed to stuck buttons
Glad to hear that!
Great video! Thank you!
All right I'll do this, I'll come back and tell everyone how it went
Most helpful video for me
Thx ❤️
I broke my O button by playing genshin impact never playing genshin on a controller again
lmao my x button be stuck so when i jumpe off the cliff i try glide but i be fall to be death be lol
@@beanzy1891 did u fix it?
I have a problem with my X button. It's no longer sensitive on touch, I have to like press it really hard for it to respond. This started with my red controller but as soon as I start using my black one it also started doing the same. Need guidance. It's disturbing my gameplay.
Broke my controller thanks 👍
What do you call those white things that u removed before removing the buttons? I need to buy a new one because the other button got ripped which made the button un able to click and retract itself back up
DONT TAKE YOUR CONTROLLER APART IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING!!! Get a q-tip and rubbing alcohol and rub around the button and press them a few times. Should loosen them up.
It’s pretty easy and simple to do it but this guy was using an older different model controller
I accidentally dropped my controller and the square button ain’t working so wanna open it up and see if I can snap it in place but I’m really scared that I may break it doing this
this video is great until the R1 and R2 buttons etc. it fucked me up cuz i couldnt see anything and i cant put it back together now anymore. the spring just wont get in the right place.
Thanks. Just replaced my contacts with another broken one. 🙏🏼
I don't understand what happened? maybe I can help?
What about stiff buttons, but the cause isn't I spilled liquid on them, I've just dropped my controller too many times.
I bought a camo PS4 controller from a pawnshop for $30 and all but the x buttons were either stuck or slow. I'll try to fix it when I get home
Same, my was camo too
I ended up fixing most of it, but the options button is hard to press and the circle button is still sticky, but all of the other buttons are functioning properly. It took about 1 1/2 for me because I wanted to be cautious, but I guess I'll fix the rest of it later.
Hi there and thanks for the video you are very good to give an explication for this but can you tell me the code of the battery?and do you know if the direction Rubber Is compatible with the Rubber of joypad ps3?thank you in Advance for all
I couldn’t find a screw small enough to pry the controller open😞. Guess I’m stuck with the sticky buttons.
If u don’t have Alcohol, can u use Nail Polish?
We haven't tried using that before, so we couldn't say for sure.
I did this and idk if I gotta get a new controller or something cuz I did it step by step turned it on and the x controller still won't work
The pad thing is ripped on the Square is there anyway to fix it and reattach it
I broke the little door guy to the home button ribbon cable... FUCK ME
Okay so like my d pad is broken i fixed it but it wont turn on i dont know what to do
Maybe your ribbon cable broke 🤷♂️
Thank you!!🔥
I did everything and now controller wont turn on, what did i do wrong, battery plugin correctly, please help
What do i need to pull to open my 2 cable to open it fully up?
The triangle button on the ps4 keeps on sticking now I have to use square,X and circle, just got it on Christmas 2 years ago with a ps4 FUCK
My square button calls timeout(touchpad button) everytime i shoot the ball on 2k or press square for any game
haha that doesn't sound like a sticky button, something else is going on there!
Did u replace ur bottons or did you remain using the same ones?
Thanks bro your video was all the help i needed!!! I was about to go spend $50 on a new one, but after i watched your video and took my controler apart and cleaned the buttons its back to working like New!!!!! 💪🏾✔💯💯💯💯
That's great! We're glad we could help you get your controller back up and running!
I just bought a new one and I can’t run it always stops the x button This is for gta5 we’re u have to keep pressing it
Most people are afraid but as soon as they decide to give it a try that is when they really start fucking a lot of controllers up.
New controller it is...
FearTheDark_TV rip, all you need to do next time it happens is blow on the buttons
Thanks bro!
Tottally usefull video.
I had lost all hope.
Hey man we understand, when the chips are all in you need to take a chance, glad we could help! Cheers!
Thank you
Why is it, that a single only thing you always need to clean in electronics will be the hardest part to get to?
