- In this video, I take apart my PS4 controller and clean it, free of dust and dirt.
WATCH UNTIL THE END SO YOU DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID!
This also fixed my random button press issue, where buttons would randomly input on the controller even when it wasn't in my hands.
Hope you find this helpful, enjoy!

My controller was having issues, so I cleaned it out, and it is now worse than it was before... I guess I just need a new controller. I'm glad this worked for so many others in the comments, but I was not so fortunate.
Its alright. Sometimes we just gotta let go so we can enjoy the better.
Same, when I opened it I noticed that the rubber right below the PS button seems a bit bent , I think it might be hitting the board. Now I'm just too lazy to open it again and will live it sitting on dead battery for a while
thanks for the help. the cleaning worked and the controller still works after cleaning, you a real one for this
That's awesome! Glad I could help
Tried doing it, casing was stuck, pulled it out, strip came out with it, cleaned it out, reassembled it, lost a screw in the carpet, the light now doesn’t come on and the L2 is still broken
Thanks man. Not only they are working. But they are like never before
Awesome!!
Lol😂... The same thing happened to me, I put the blue strip in backwards.
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I was able to maintenance my controllers. My daughters spilled soda on one of them and the other had hot chitos debris in it. Props to you for the DIY. Peace ✌️
Great to hear it worked and the soda didn't fry the controller haha
you da man, this helped a ton. btw, you Guyanese, Trini?
Great to see this vid still helping people, glad if worked for you. Yea man I'm Guyanese. First person on YT to call it out haha
I recently bought a ps4 controller and immediately I'm having 1 issue, the circle button is not working well, like I needed to press it too hard just for it to function properly, I'm playing tekken and my combo's are always cut because of the circle button not immediately responding. I'm thinking maybe if I disassemble this controller I can fix the issue. and I'm also thinking that maybe this product that I ordered is actually broken or it has some defects.
pls I need some advice. Thanks for response.
Thanks for trying to help people but my controller just had its funereal the big problem was taking out the mother board and the main frame from the hole controller skeleton couldn’t figure out what was holding on to it so i just ended up pulling it apart with brute strength and ended up snapping the front part in half at the end I put it all back together and the only thing that didn’t work properly was R1 R2 if y’all normal people with no experience just take it to a pro don’t end up with -70$ 😅
Thanks, you have a calming voice
Wow bro works perfectly right now you can't believe that after cleaning it, it now works so flawlessly, is like brand new hahaha
So awesome! I'm glad everything worked out!
Before reading other's comments. I would like to thank you for the video. Along with about 4 or 5 others it helped me take apart and put back together my controler. Not pleasant at first as when assembled the lights were not working which was not the original problem. But it turned out the last ribbon cable insertion was the problem and a little readjustment got the lights to light up whilst still inserting. Starngely the problem of the x button not working was not resolved. It still did not work. So I was thinking it must be clearly dead. No amount of button pressing would get the 'x' button working. So as it was declared dead I allowed my self some extra well. It seemed to make no sense having seen inside becuase I could not imagine where the contacts were -But knowing there seemed all that insulation between the button resulting in me giving a forced push to almost bent the whole plastic fram. It worked. So in with the screws and not fingers crossed. How long it will work I do not know as it was intimitant before. But once it starts working it can work some minutes or an hiur. I will need to see. But would like to thank you for your helpful video. Thank You.
Really happy that you found the video helpful!
Brother baby wipes are a great cleaning tool!
Thanks. I decided to try it on my spare controller just because I wanted to see if I could do this without breaking my controller and it worked.
But it didn’t fix my problem. The joystick is still messed up.
The problem is like if I play a game like Days Gone or Assassins creed the character will walk instead of run like they’re supposed to.
But honestly it’s fine. Again, this was just a test run to make sure I wouldn’t break anything when trying to clean my main controller
Nice, that's what I did as well. Tried it out on the secondary controller first to make sure it would work out. Hope you can figure out how to fix the joystick issue. Wish I could've helped.
my d pad is starting wear out. before getting new one i wana see if cleaning under the d pad buttons helps.
The screws on my controller are much smaller and have a head that's almost tamper-proof. I've tried everything short of drilling to get them out. I have an analog stick drift problem. I hate to have to buy a new controller, but I'm stuck. I'd also like to buy new batteries when these give out--they are a lot cheaper than new controllers.
Helped me in fixing my controller
For some reason my controller doesn't look exactly like that? But it says its a legit controller? Could it be counterfeit?
Red Dead Redemption 2 is nearly unplayable now because my R2 is randomly registering a button press so Arthur is constantly in Draw mode no matter where I am or who I'm with. Its ruined countless missions because I'm drawing down on a character I shouldn't be & immediate fail.
BRUUU, lemme explain what i did. I was fixing a joystick problem, (it was sticking and not moving flawlessly so i wanted to clean it, started dumping alchohol down in the joysticks mechanism, it landed alot on the motherboard below and now for the last 4 hours it hasnt started working, no charge, no light no response. My ps4 is completely unaccesable now😕
You might wanna get a new controller
I was cleaning my ps4 controller and i also had to change the back part. Cuz of it being destroyed and i had to change the piece that is the port for charging. After changing that and that strip thing that connects the controller parts it actually worked and i was very surprised 😭
Fixed and absolutely perfect
Fantastic news!
Have 1 ?, why do ps4's have different controllers for ps4 ,slim ,pro , and reg ps4.
Thank you so much bro fixed my shit like it was brand new ❤️
Awesome! Glad to hear
The gray plastic whatever for the cross square circle and triangle won't go in
Tried it and busted my controller, despite being very gentle and carefull. It's that wire connecting both ends of the controller, that white one. One end simply busted when trying to remove it. I notice it's made of the most breakable type of plastic there is, and it can bend/break/tear apart with as little to no pressure.
Careful gentlemen, I don't advise removing that white clip that is attached to both main components. If it breaks, and it most probably will, you're F'ed.
When I hold r2 it looks to the left do you know why?
Thank you brother you saved me money you get a big fat sub from me big up yourself top g 👍
Glad to help man and appreciate the support!
How i put the touchpad back
I did everything as you did and my circle button still won't work, there wasn't any gunk but I cleaned it anyways, it's weird tho because every button works except for the circle button.
I have the same problem did you ever find out what was wrong
@@cynthiac.3846 I ended up getting a new one
would bathing the controller case in hot soapy water be good or bad for the controller case?
This actually Works
I hope you get your PS5. Greetings from USA.
I got very very lucky last year and was able to make the big transition! Thanks
It works i swear on God ( Allah )
thanks i had the same problem for almost a year now its been working like new from the past 2 days
Help it's happening again😭
Shit. Welp. It seems to work except. I fucked up 2 things. The glass screen for the led. It somehow got between the plastic when putting together and broke. Still seems to work tho... Nd the [O] button stays down and doesnt return up so I guess I gotta open it up again
My arrows are pressing themself the down and right
Me too I've clean my PS4 controller so I am so very happy. But the PS4 it's a very great
Why my stupid control keeps pressing buttons by it self can't log in ,😡😡😡😡
nice video thank you!
Do the PS5 controller next
can i barrow your screw driver?
As in a wheel barrow?
Yeah... Great tutorial, but I do not trust myself to fix anything when it comes to repair or tech! So I'm quite fricked in all directions sir!
If your light bar is not working, you’ve done something wrong, tbh.
Did you watch the full video? I showed why the light bar didn't work and fixed it in the end
@@Kintential yeah I did, I was messing around lmfao.
Dude is this the same kintential that puts out music ?
Same guy, different era lol I was experimenting with a few video ideas before I decided on music production
Life is an experiment... Keep doing you and keep moving forward best of luck In your endeavors.... My brother.
Honestly it blows my mind that people are even aware of my music and checking it out. Really appreciate your motivation and words of encouragement! Thank you

Firsttttttt. Just saying, you could of saved some time and just set it to wumbo
I failed Wumbology.....twice
