    I assembled a sixaxis controller once. Putting the back on without the l and r doing something like falling off is quite literally the most stressful thing I have ever done in my entire life. And I've tried playing dark souls without taking damage.

      I thought I broke the devider between r1/r1 and mirrored trying to open it lol just put it back together after almost 4 hours of work trying to put in the devider and r1 and r2 kept getting put out of place
      This has had to be the WORST 4 hours spent ever

    I stupidly decided to try and do this as I wanted to replace my joysticks, most frustrating thing I've ever done I have to say :/ I had to hold myself back multiple times from launching the controller against the wall, safe to say it's now been shoved into a drawer and I'm now waiting for a new controller off eBay to arrive :(

    Just reassembled my dual shock 3. This is one of the most annoying things i've done in a long time. It was a old and used controller that never been cleaned and it was in bad condition. Im glad i cleaned it, but it was so annoying and tedious. The bumpers and triggers were intimidating but not to bad, but they loved popping out. struggled with the module that holds them too. everything seemed easy until i tried to put the back case back on and realized something wasn't aligned, or something was in the way. after multiple trial and errors of undoing everything and redoing it, eventually something snapped and everything was aligned. process sucked and its debatable if it was worth it or not but my buttons feel nice now so..

  • @warnacokelat

    I have a lot of dualshock 3. All of them died because of 2 reasons: 1) the connection between the motherboard and the thin plastic printed board for the keys became loose and needed more pressure to hold them 2) the plastic printed board got corroded at the same spot, just at slight left spot beside the select button.

      (Still can’t get the damn back on though. Those shoulder pieces…)

      I know it's 2 years too late but throughout the video I was getting annoyed you didn't know the ps3 controllers require a specific current before the charging kicks in. A PS3 consoles USB ports and official Sony charge dock does this ^^

  • @libman2006
    @libman2006 7 месяцев назад

    Took the back off to replace the battery and one of the trigger assembly's came off at the same time. Was hoping to find a video showing a quick and easy way to reattach it as getting the ribbon back on it being an utter utter utter swine. I don't think such a video exists for that very reason. Otherwise good video.

      5:14, you can see it dropping into the pot from the D pad. It is a support bar for that, and should only go in 1 way. it goes between the pad control buttons and the rubber membrane

    The left joysticks "center bit spinning" 0:41 is by no means cause for repair. Most pf them came fresh out of the box like that. The right one never does, but the left one is actually a control feature on some knock off game system controllers. I was about to throw a racing game against the wall for not being able to turn the car until I accidently turned the left center cap and the car turned just fine.

    is it just me or are the insides of these same types of controllers different? ive watched a few tutorials and there seems to be a slightly different build. anyways...no one on all of effing RUclips can show me how to effing put the effing ribbons back underneath the number 1 and 2 buttons...everyones so called disassembly show you the buttons still attached to the ribbons...how is that a disassembly? i need to know how to properly put the ribbons back successfully under my 1 and 2 buttons.
