This might be a little late, but thank you so much! I was considering buying a new controller because my triangle button wasn't working, but you saved me $70. Thanks!
This video was extremely helpful! My "X" button wasn't bouncing back when I pressed it so I knew it must've been an internal problem, but until now I haven't had to open my controller AT ALL. The step by step was very much needed and appreciated. It turned out the piece of rubber padding behind my x button had popped out, so after using the link in your description, I've ordered a new one and I'm currently replacing it(I came back to make sure I'm disassembling the controller correctly again). Thanks much, friend.
Thanks bro! The square button on my controller lost sensitivity and I had to push it hard in order to work. I ended up using the Solution 5 and after dissasembling, cleaning and putting everything back together my button now works normally. Thanks for the video!
I did the same but saw that there was no material left to make the electric connection to activate it. I solved it with superglue and tinfoil, now when I push the controller react 👌
hi! i wanted to thank you for helping me out! in the end i needed to get a new conductive film, and i replaced it and everything works perfectly! i did accidentally break the blue part of the ribbon cable of the touchpad, but with a little glue i got it right where i needed it to be. your video has helped me immensely!
thank you so much dude my triangle button was stuck and would not bounce back and that was a brand-new controller I bought and the first time I pressed it got stuck you definitely got a sub and my respect from this video thanks bro!
You are an absolute legend. I took the whole thing apart because I've fixed buttons before but no methods were working but then your cardboard triangle fixed it instantly!
thank you so much !!!! my x square triangle AND circle buttons were not working anymore. It works fine now, I had to replace the conductive film. Thanks to you, it was as easy as a lego !
I had 2 broken controllers, X buttons did not work at all or other controller had to push hard. Open both of them and clean em. That did the trick for me 👍 It was pretty easy and now i have 2 working controllers again. Thank you very much!
Took me forever to open the two halves because I was scared of breaking something lol. But I cleaned all the stuff and my X button started working again. Thanks a lot! 👍🏾
my problem was that triangle was inputting both triangle and circle. Circle was doing the same thing. I did Solution 1 with a piece of an index card and it worked! thank you!
Life saver! Thanks man!! Had to go to solution 2,its 2 AM here,not to proud to say my "vacumm" was my mouth, but hell yeah i can finally make a pass in nba2k 🙌
Wow I was sitting here with a screwdriver and a pry tool ready to open everything up and fix my favorite controller's triangle, and that first trick with the soda case wedge was all I needed.
thank you so much dude, the first tip worked instantly, ive been fighting my button jamming sometimes and its been SO annoying, it works like new again, thank you!
Great video , very detailed. One thing tho, you advised to leave the battery connected and right afterwards you shove a (metal) butterknife underneath the battery holder! The battery was removed when you did but you didn't mention that. I'd recommend to ALWAYS remove the battery (carefully of course) to avoid short-circuiting the main board.
Thanks so much for this video, the straw blowing technique got my button right. I used a plastic straw and pinched the tip flat so it was wedged in the crease of the button.
Very helpful video, Thanks! Also, what I found is that if the rubber pad contacts are worn, since it's symmetric you can try rotating it until you find a orientation where all face buttons work and feels right, at least as a quick fix until you can get the replacement parts.
Man thx i thought i will need to take it to repair shop but i turned out that my square button had something sticky all over it i just needed to clean it. THX again.
the rubber thingy behind my X button had ripped so the button was stuck, opened it up and flipped the rubber thingamabob around, now X works and I have no triangle, but X is more important to me, thumbs up on the video
I went for opening the controller with a lot of reluctance and hopelessness. Throughout the process I wasn’t sure if it will work. I had problems with 4 buttons and almost had thought of buying a new one. To my surprise, this worked. I just had to clean it thoroughly. Cannot thank you more!
Was a mission gave mine a big clean I was surprised how much gunk was in there and carefully put it back together like 4 times but it’s working great again thanks
Ahhhh Thank you so much, because of you I was able to replace the rubber padding for R1 and X. It was worm out after playing so much dark souls and J-RPG by mashing dialogs and attacking things in dark souls XD The only problem is that the light is now green instead of the white/blue but it isn't a problem I guess, controller still works fine. PS: It is a Data Frog controller that I brough on Aliexpress so it is not PS4 original.
Took some effort to get the screws moving, but it worked. (Save for the fact that the rubber pads are half-busted, all I managed was to get the X working so I could menu through shit)
I was about to buy a new controller that i bought electronic spray i wanted to disassemble it 😂😂 i watched your video and i blowed with my mouth inside the circle button and it worked ❤❤😂 thank you man i didn't used the electronic spray alcohol cleaner i will save it for future
Cheers dude massive help ✌️🙂 left my apartment for the weekend took my playstation with me and the controller stopped working gave the cardboard from my rollie papers and it works excellent now I can play and watch hogwarts legacy 🤘😁
Thank you I was able to fix my X button that required me to push down hard on it to get a response. However, I did one extra thing that I believe was the fix. The buttons weren’t really dirty, especially not under them or on that clear plastic that the buttons press on. However, I noticed the inside portion of the X button (the blue part) seemed like it was sunk down a little more than the surrounding buttons. With it being sunk down it told me that where the blue part of the button pressed down might not be traveling the length necessary which is why I had to press hard to get a response. So I sanded very lightly the bottom of the button so the blue insert became flush with the grey outside of the button. That way the button doesn’t have to travel further. After that it worked like a new controller. Hope that helps someone
Thank you so much. My triangle button actually didn't end up working after washing the "wires" with alcohol, so I'll try to convince my parents to buy new ones on amazon thru your link
@@ayoifeonl9392 I went on eBay and bought a conductive ps4 controller replacement and I fixed myself and its all fine but I ended up not rebinding my triangle
Thanks alot man i was struggling to open the controller i had to practice on my old one but still didnt get it right but this helps alot .time to fix a button
Great video mate. Still not sure why my X button is not working. I took it apart and cleaned it with alcohol. What should I replace to get it functioning again? maybe that conductive sleeve?
i've tried cleaning all the rubber pieces. inspecting for cracks. but i still cant get x, triangle, circle, square, and the right arrow on the d pad to do anything! I don't even know if R/L 1/2 work because i cant get past the account selection screen.
My rubber pad was broken. I attempted to super glue it in place but I don't think it's worth trying because it's eventually going to fall back out so I ordered the replacement.
My x button is working like the ps button. If i hold the x button, it works normally (also opening the side helpbar) but if i press it, it exits the application, acting like the ps button. Any solutions?
I'm trying to get Call of duty to work and I'm changing the game setup. How many points on deathmatch it takes to win and before it wouldn't work I just reset it. I pray to God This works
A button that doesn't work because it has worn the electric charged material, can be fixed with a tiny amount of superglue and tinfoil (glue on the dull side of the tinfoil). I just did it and the button works as new 🥳
