How to Fix Circle, X, Square, or Triangle Button on a DualShock 4 PS4 Controller | Repair Stuck
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2024
- A tutorial on how to service the four main face buttons on the Sony DualShock 4 controller (DS4): Circle, X, Square, and Triangle. I go over ways to resolve issues such as stuck button, registering a push, not registering a push, and making a noise. The solutions involve a lot of things, including cleaning and replacing parts, and tearing down to get closer to the rubber conductive pads and film. I am using a model CUH-ZCT2U with a JDM-055 board for most of the video, but I point out the major differences when it comes to the inside components.

This vid made me sub
prevenire i problemi, cioè riporre il pad in modo da nn permettere che entri polvere usa un sacchetto ermetico tipo per conservare cibo ed il controller nn avrà problemi problemi ok
Wow the very first method worked for me!!! Amazing!
What about my r1
I swear on my mom, I watched 15secs of his video and all is a sudden my X button was working🤣I swear these controlers be having lives
I swear to God i felt like Tony Shark when doing this.
😂
LMAOOOO
😂😂😂😂😂
Real shit bro
Dont put Say Gods Name in Vain God Bless 🙏🏽✝️
Finally! I found someone who knows something about ps4 controllers. Just subscribed & liked! Thanks!
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!
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.
Me too man he helped me saved my life
same i thinked its just dameged because its mostly used in fifa and after some time sound from presing disapear but now its completly stucked
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!
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 !
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.
Brother with your help, i fixed dualshock 4 first time thank you so much you have great vision to solve problems mate
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!
It's never too late. Thanks for the comment.
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.
Great video , clear instruction on taking the controler apart and putting them back together
I have dualshock 4 with a non working r1 shoulder button and tried to clean the contacts as well as the pin connctor at 12:57, I don’t know if it the contact pins should be cleaned and just the buttons only. After I cleaned it is still not working, will replacing it with the right film work?
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
Amazing video you've helped me fix three controllers without damaging anything
Thanks for this tutorial I've never done something like this before but I managed to do it. My hand was hella shacking though 😅
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!
This was very helpfull, thank you so much, we need more people like you, have a blessed day.
I did everything in the video but my circle , triangle, and x buttons still don’t work, but my square one does. Before i looked up how to fix it i was cleaning it because i let one of my friends use it for a couple months, but while i was cleaning it i dropped it and the blue light flickered on and off a couple times but it turned back on and when it did everything else worked except for those three buttons. I did everything in the video aswell. Is my controller broken and if so is there a way to fix it or do i have to just buy a new one?
10:15 Is it ok to touch the conductive film in general or it will damage it ?
My R2 button is working without touching it and I cleaned it and also changed the pad under it but it didn't work. I'm wondering what to do.
If I change that film will that fix it?
Thank you so much this helped so much as my O would stay in place for like 2 seconds and was very hard to control so thank you
Thank you so much I been struggleing for an hour to fix my controller but your video was the only one which helped me.
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.
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?
Hello! Is it ok to use something else as metal or wood instead of cardboard in solution 1?
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!
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
Tks for your tutorial on how to tear down ds4, i can finally fix my ds4
thanks a lot. blowing did the trick for me! imagine that i thought of skipping these steps
I took apart the controller and put it back now but when I press the X button it now’s seems like the O button also registers at the same time, might have to go back and take a look again
I did everything and now it does turn on. But when I plug the charger in, it charges but it doesn't turn on and connect
You are a genius my man, u save my life with this tutorial, much love
You are a life saver thought I was gonna have to get a new one 😅
thanks to your tutorial my controller finally started working
Hey what if my battery is stuck on the black trey? how do I get it off I don't want to pull the battery off and ruin the circuit board
Solution 1 worked in 3 seconds thanks brodie!!!
What if i pulled th ribbon cable from the lightbar fro. The wrong side
Totally worked for me. Good video.
Thanks for this I took out the r1 cleaned it worked brand new
My X button responses multiple times to a sing press. First method fixed it right away. Thanks 🙌🏻
Cool
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)
This rlly helped me a lot instead of buying a new one i repaired my controller... My issue was that the whole right part wasn't working... Nice video
What solution it worked for you
Genius, I was just about to buy a new controller and solution one works ❤
it worked for like half an hour and the button stopped working again, what do i do??
Help i did it but it isn't connecting to my ps4 but it works when i use blurtooth on phone
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.
What happens if you take it apart and use the rubber black thing on your triangle button and it doesn't work
Thank you so god damn much,I think it was 4 the one with the button, but dude, seriously, thanks
Very, thourough video, well done. Extrememly helpful
You my good sir are a GOD sent
Solution 1-2 did the trick cheers 👍🏻
Issue solved on step 3! Love u bro!!
It is very useful information thank you bro
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.
Thank you the first one worked
I have a ps4 i done this it work i just have a problem with joystick its hard to fix hot to fix it
Bro thank you so much Solution One actually fix my controller it was stuck at the piece of cardboard actually worked
Ive done every thing but still the triangle not working
Tnx men it really works 💯
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 🤘😁
Solution 5 works for me thnx alot man😂❤
You’re a genius !
Hello! May I ask what concentration of alcohol can be used to clean the conductive film? Some say it should be higher than 75℅ while some say otherwise... ☹️
Anything that you have around will be fine. It all dries fast, which is what you want.
Oh I see, thank you so much!
i used a toothpick to scrape it before i saw this video, and a piece came off and is now stuck in there, it still. works but its stiff and weird to click
Im a bit afraid to do this but i feel like i need to, my X button as been giving trouble n its getting worse lately.
The first things shown in the video are pretty much risk free.
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
That's good. Just know you can order a new one of those.
@@HowToX what is it called exactly? I don't know what to type in the search bar
Really helped thanks
Thankyou finally fixed my controller
Its still helpful even today
I hope so. This video is 11 days old.
@@HowToX😂
only problem i have is that the screws that were placed in their are extremely difficult to unscrew
Highly engaging!
Ur the goat thanks
Bro. THANK YOU⚡️
Hey i tried all the steps but still didnt work can you help?

Love you bro

I just came back to say thanks.. my x button wasnt consistently selecting on command and this video works.. kudos
Cleaning the part of the film at 12:30 with a little bit of alcohol fixed the problem of my buttons being unresponsive, thanks for the help!

What kind of dark Magic did You use when removing the r2 button, ITS IMPOSSIBLE I SWEAR IT JUST WONT COME OFF
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you brother
The reset worked ty
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
It didn't work 😭
Hi, i did all the exact things that you have done but after put all together, it didnt turn on anymore, any tips?
Most likely it's the ribbon cable. See 16:10 to 16:55
@@HowToXI put it like you said... i dont know
It may not be securely in the connector.
@@HowToX I checked, and now that i think of it, i remember that the cable was bent over, i think its broken, could it be?
My triangle button still don’t work is my controller fucked?
Can u help me fix mine the X button on my controller becomes the ps button the button that has ps logo on it, when I'm playing and using the button X the button becomes the ps button 😢😢 i hope u understand its hard to explain, thankyou❤
I hear a lot about buttons activating other buttons that are far away, but don't have a solid explanation yet. You could try cleaning both buttons using some of the methods in the video. If you or someone has taken the controller apart before, it's possible the "flim" that the buttons make contact with isn't connecting to the main board securely, so taking it apart and putting it back together MAY help.
How my X button does t work on game in PlayStation too
hey, umm, i THINK i have a fake controller, the battery pack is blue (for some reason) and it won't come out, its like fused to the plastic thingy under it
nvm removed it
Bruh my X button is broken so I can’t even log in to play station
Jesus my o button is broken and I thought that was bad You poor guy😭
That happened to me yesterday...found that when using as steam ctrllr for pc
@@gerdsfargen6687 all you have to do to reconnect it after using it via bluetooth is shut ur ps5 or ps4 off and restart it and connect the controller charger to the console and turn it on
@@RandomcommenterE dw I got a new controller
This just happened to me I accidentally scratched the conductive film keypad trying to fix stick driftp I'll probably have to buy a new one but they are expensive as he'll even though it's a ps4 controller and not a ps5
Just in time: the reset button on one of my N64 consoles got stuck. I will try the first few solutions to fix it👍
It should help a little bit, but that button runs deep. I had to go inside mine. There's something about the plastic that attracts dirt.
@HowToX indeed, that unit was indeed covered with dust and I was wiping it when I pressed the button
Thank u bro❤
Didnt work my triangle button wasnt working still isnt so im sad
Same bro
Thanks bro🤝🏿
