Thank you for taking the time to make this video! I was able to fix my son's controller in less than 15 minutes....which is saying something because I know nothing about that kind of stuff. You explained it quickly and to the point while also giving clear step by step directions, thank you!

[@superatech]

Beautiful lighting and camera placement. I damaged my thumb sticks by putting some foam rubber around them to see if it would make my aiming more accurate. I went to Target and picked up a new one for $60. I was watching your video and realized that taking the controller apart was not the nightmare I remembered it being. I took it apart and just played with it awhile. While re-assembling it I inadvertently hit the "power" button and turned on my PS4 console. I played Last of Us Remastered for a couple of minutes and saw that the problem that I had created earlier was now gone! Thank you for filming yourself and thank you for your calm spirit.

My right stick stucks at bottom, top and left. What to do?

[@oldniustuff]

I think might be the same issue but need to rotate clockwise. Just to be sure the best option is to open the controller and confirm.

Mines gets stuck going diagonal left

[@jethro784]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@AyooImmortal]

[@amadouchico]

Great video thank you. However I found a much simpler way to resolve this problem, by simply twisting the stick to the right. And done.

Dude I can't thank you enough bro I don't have a computer and I just bought a brand new controller but my charger didn't work so I used another charger without knowing it could damage it I was suffering so I tried my old one but I have anger issues and I raged and broke it I was so sad but thanks to you it's fixed thanks

What screwdriver do u need i have used 6-7 or even 8 and none work

[@oldniustuff]

I did use the size PH0 with only one zero or PH00 (two zeros, I tried both and it works. I think the bigger the number more thick it will be, I tried PH1, PH2 and bigger but those are too big already, I suggest to stick to PH0 or PH00. The tools I wrote in the description have all those PH sizes.

My joystick can't go backwards, any tips on how to fix that?

[@Jolzy]

hey i checked inside the controller and the sticks were straight and i still have the problem, is there anything else i can do to fix this issue?

[@oldniustuff]

Could be that the stick fully twisted on one side, but actually I never encounter that issue, so not sure. It the only thing I can think of.
I noticed that when you have the controller without the cover it will stuck to any side you push, the cover helps to have it centre and doesn't stuck to a side.

[@vlxcid8163]

My Pc doesnt have that devices and printers thing where is it???

[@oldniustuff]

Do you have windows? In case you have just go to control panel, it should be there if you choose "small icons" on the top right of the screen on "view by:"

That seems to be a bit different issue, maybe some WD-40 contact cleaner will help, but needs to be the contact cleaner don't use the normal one.

Thanks bro it has worked

[@adammoriarty]

Thanks! But my ps4 controller wont charge have you got any solutions?

[@oldniustuff]

Here you might have try a few things. I would start to check the battery, it could be that is so low that it wont start charge at all, I would try to slow charge it using a battery charger board (s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A7MsLF), but its a bit tricky. Maybe I can do a video how to use this charging board.
If you have other controller try to switch the battery in case they batteries connectors match.
In case the battery is good then could be the port/board itself, does the controller works/connects via usb cable?
In case you didn't try this hope it helps!

I don’t know why but everytime I plug in any headphones into ps controller my left joystick jus starts to act weird and in game i start getting drift stick but when I unplug the headphones the drift stick goes away .Is there any solution to this.

[@oldniustuff]

I had similar issue, where some buttons were pressed (ruclips.net/video/o63xaeHduso/видео.html), your issue could be related. Open the controller and check that cable connections, if isn't that might be general dirt where some contacts touch with others, give a clear in general with IPA and tooth brush. Let me know if it helps.

You can but just with the DW40 wont go into place, still need to twist a bit.

[@flutterboypr6481]

I have a struggle with it but the Joystick it's not stuck like that, only by a little and I don't know what to do.

[@oldniustuff]

The best is to open the controller if you didn't it yet. Then it will be easier to see what is the issue, maybe is just a bit twisted.

[@Kiaconvertible]

Guys, you do not have to take apart your controller. You can just twist the joystick and then if you hear some clicks, try to move it around and if it feels back to normal, then it is good but still much respect to the creator of this video.

[@franklinclinton3211]

I work out and I'm not gentle enough with this controller apparently

[@scooby3874]

My problem is the grey thing on the thumb stick on the right of both thumb sticks the grey thing won’t stay in place and keeps lifting up what should I do?

[@oldniustuff]

When you press in the stick does it work that button (pressing)? This might be an issue within the joystick stick. I am planning to do a video on that ' taking apart the joystick case', but to take this apart it needs to be unsolder I believe. When I do this video I will have in mind your issue and if will be possible to solve.

[@someoneidk308]

@@oldniustuff I have the same issue. Controller was found with the joystick almost knocked out of the hole the joystick goes in. Tried to force it back and now it's stuck to one side and only moves if I twist the stick. I can still press it down a bit. I think it is out of alignment.
I'm going to buy a new one and then mess with this one. I do not want to break my only controller lol. (It doesnt function for games, but I can still watch youtube/netflix using the ps4 controller because you do not need the joysticks).

[@harolbetancourth6636]

Where does the black cap go?

If you mean the cap of the joystick, it was in the socket, you can see it at 4:35 when i turn the board the cap stays in the socket.

Words cannot express how grateful I am brother 🙏u saved me 60$ haha

does this work same for ps5

Not 100% sure, but it might be same fix since the joysticks have the same type of potentiometers.
