Saved me $65. I’ll admit I was a little intimidated to take a PS4 controller apart but everything stays in the front area and swapping out an R2 button with a broken peg was super easy. Got a 5 pack of L2/R2 buttons and springs off Amazon for $7 and went ahead and bought a TX9 so I can clean the dust out from my console using your other video. Thank you 😊
@@ayogoose3535 find out if you have the v1 or the v2(light bar on touch bar) and buy the replacement bumpers. It's fairly easy to take apart and swap the pieces out. If that doesn't work then buy a new pad. They're fairly cheap
Got mad playing a game and smashed it on a chair this helps thank you edit I didn't think me telling you about me getting mad at a game and smashing my controller would get so many likes.
"anything will do" is not a good thing to say when it comes to screwdrivers. It's a Phillips head which is pretty common but if someone uses the wrong driver then it could ruin the threads on the screws preventing them from opening their controller.
THANK YOU. I stepped on my DualShock and the L2 button popped out. Thankfully the spring was still intact, so all I had to do was open the controller to be able to snap the button back in, and this video helped me do it.
I didn't even have to get replacement buttons. My L2 was just faulty and barely registers. After opening it and checking the button itself and underneath it, it suddenly worked fine. Thanks for the instructions! Your controller is so much easier to prise open compared to mine.
My R2 button was locked open and I used this video to fix it. My controller is a 2018 model I believe and the spring is in a different location but this video still helps a lot.
Same here, the spring for my R2 button isnt located on the actual button like how he did it. When I put the new R2 button on it, it presses normal but the game and responding like I'm barely pressing the button down.
I bought a pair of trigger extenders I didn't realize that you had to disassembled the actual controller to put them in and install them but after watching this video I feel really confident thanks
I use a drill bit to get through the head of the screen then when you take the back off thread the stud of the left over screw out and replace with another or just yolo the three others lol
the main trouble i was having was in removing one of the trigger buttons from the bottom side of the clamshell, exactly as it happened to you in your video. Regardless of my method to remove the button, it remained adamant in its place. The spring associated with it however, had come lose so it was imperative that the trigger button be removed so that the spring can be replaced. Only after watching your helpful video was it clear that there was a slight trick to removing it; and once the said trick was employed, removing the trigger ceased to be an obstacle. Thank you very much for this freely provided knowledge.
The best guide on RUclips, So much better than other videos, plus the perfect length. I brought 2 new ones before I saw how easy it was to replace. Now I've got 4 controllers, 1 not even out the box. I might have to send that to amazon now and order a pack of buttons and springs. Thanks for a great guide, detailed and easy to follow. Now do I want the money back for the controller or the camo one I got :/ Anyway cheers bro
Thanks for the vid! I solved my problem by using a q-tip and rubbing alchool on the black transparent pads near the R2 button for anyone else trying to fix their controller
@@tosicmilos1551 I have two controllers with the same problem. One is so bad that I probably have to buy a new one and the other one just started. I looked online and people said that you should clean it out. Down at the L2 buttone was some dirt or something, so I took a toothpick and cleaned that out. I also put my mouth on the L3 button and try to blow in it. All of that worked and I don't have it anymore
Thank you, you are a lifesaver. I came here because my L2 and its spring popped out while replacing the battery and I didn’t know how to put back that darn spring! Your video took a while to understand but I was successful. I think the part with the spring’s groove needs to be zoomed in or annotated a bit for people like me with bad eyes ;-) The controller shell reassembly instructions were perfect.
Thank you for the vid. Was cleaning my controller and one of the springs popped off and the R2 button. Thought I broke something, but was able to put things where they belong thanks to you.
If by any of you have the problem is that you can’t go full acceleration or full sprint speed or any problem of that kind, you should open up your controller and under the R2 (or L2) trigger there is a rubber which is probably broken or has a cut in it. If you replace that rubber or tape a really small plastic (need a strong plastic so the button doesn’t go through it) on it, it is fixed and your button works again.
NikobsuperGaming PL if you pause this video at 3:45 you can see the rubber (the grey thing where he puts the R2 button over) that is the rubber that is probably broken. So just follow this video on how you get to the point where you see the rubber and when you see the rubber, fix it with some strong tape or order a new rubber online and replace it
Dude thank you SO MUCH! My L2 button wouldn't work but the spring was good, I guess it just got out of place. I was able to get it back in and now its working perfect😭🖤
Thanks for the Video. My shoulder buttons came off when I opened it and I had no idea how the were meant to be put back on. This video saved me a lot of frustration.
Thanks also ..was my first attempt at a fix and those springs were horrid to do but it worked in end .. worried that power cable didn't put light on when I reinserted but all was good ..thanks again
I still have my ps4 controller from 2018 and the L2 stopped working. I took apart the controller and took a look at L2 replaced it with another L2 from another controller and that wasn’t the problem. The thing under the L2 is. It won’t work when I touch it but L1 works. The only choice I have is to buy a new one
Fantastically explained. Loved the step by step detail. Far better than any other video I watched for the purpose. You could stand to up the camera work so it's easier to see what you're doing but it wasn't a hindrance at all. Good job.
M8, seriously... me & them springs don't get on at all!! But out of ALL the nobends on Jewtube, you were the only bloke to EXPLAIN the Schematics & what those slots are for. Cheers, ears! You da boss!
Taking the screws out and detaching the front and back panel are the hardest the 1st time! Start where the headphone jack is 1st and work around to the sides. You start with the sides 1st and and it almost impossible because you put all the pressure around the headphone jack.
Thanks for the video. I didn't have to disconnect all thr things you did. It was really easy to repair mine. Just knock it out en put 1 back in and that's it. But again, thanks for the video❤
This vid helped me so much you cant even imagine it. I have 2 controllers and 1 of them broke today (a joystick is weird), this one broke 1-2 months ago, the l2 was always pressed. I was looking up a lot of vids and yours is the best. Thank you so much man.
The problem with my R2 is that when I play a game were I hit the button to aim or place something like in minecraft it makes the camera go upward slowly and it is really bad for when I am playing any game were I need to aim
I had my controller "broken" for around 3 years the problem was one of the springs got stuck in the L2 button and was making the L2 button stick. What made it worse was that my father wanted to fix it and ended up messing the R2 button also... but now that I found this vid i could FINALLY fix my damn controller! But now it doesn't even want to turn on now... 🙂
props to him but when i watched his video on how to fix stick drift my L2 button is starting to act like it’s my R2 button which i generally play shooters and for honor so i can’t even lock on or aim
No matter how many times i watch this i can not get this damn spring in properly. Idk how you do it have about 4-5 controllers and i just keep buying new ones
If anybody can help my problem, just reply, so ive had my controller for a while now, and it had stick drift, so i fixed that, but now the l2 and r2 buttons are kind of interconnected with controls, for example i press my l2 and it activates my r2 randomly, when i look at the little crank under the l2 button, it seems like its damaged, can i replace that part or is that not the reason. If you do reply, thanks.
You should warn people about the wire and not needing to take off the white plastic piece, which is how anyone who works on cars would take it off, and to just pull the wire out. Thanks :)
Every 6 months?! Ouch, maybe lighten up on those trigger pulls. I prefer using L1 for aiming and R1 as the trigger for shooter games so this might also help. Thanks for the tutorial!
Every time I press L2 my character slowly looks up, I’m not moving forwards it literally starts looking up slowly and I’m playing competitive games In sweaty lobbies and it isn’t helping with an L2 button that decides to look up at the sky every time I decide to aim. I hope I’m not the only person who has his :(
Sometimes source of this problem is can be little software or something. First of all, just disconnect the battery, wait for 10-20 sec and connect the battery again then try. (DS4 resetting is not same thing) NOTE: YES MY ENGLISH ISNT SO GOOD

The trick I use is to pry from around where you plug in headphones first then i pry from the l2 r2 sides of the controllers
