      This is how you do the l1 and r2 it's essay all you have to do is cry on the floor because you upset you can't do it and because you have to buy a new controller because you smashed it on the floor

    Tip for reattaching the back panel: if you feel it’s not snug or want to try again do NOT pull the cover away; pull upwards instead! It’s going to save you a ton of headaches trust me.

      When I was reseating mine, I wasn't sure how the spring went, but it last against the mounting mechanism. Also one of my trigger mounts actually popped out too and I had to snap it back in. Took a minute because I was being mindful to be gentle, but eventually it all clicked together.

    • @stylishboi6150

    • @Thromnabular
      @Thromnabular 3 года назад

      The springs have both "legs" "mounting"/"straddling" the corresponding flat white plastic part then snap the round pivot end of the trigger into its slot and it should work

    This is not full reassembly. L2 and R2 triggers are already in place? lol.

  • @Maxxwell-07
    @Maxxwell-07 11 лет назад

    It is because the triggers aren't in their place, it's like a puzzle, you have to fit it into the right place, 3:36 in the video, is what i'm talking about.

  • @Mal35077
    @Mal35077 2 года назад

    Thank you! My buttons had come off with the bottom cover and for a moment I had no idea how to get the buttons out and the springs back in place.

  • @HumbertoHacked

    Looking at how bright white his rubbers are; reminded me that like my controller, I too am old now

  • @Maxxwell-07
    @Maxxwell-07 11 лет назад

    It is because your ps button doesn't make contact with the circuitry, the circuitry is where the LED's are, make sure you push everything into place, I had the same problem, and fixed it like that.

  • @24LeoTheLion24
    @24LeoTheLion24 9 лет назад

    The back of the controller doesn't snap back on the left side properly but it's fine on the right. This makes the left R2 button stick and has a lot of resistance when trying to spring back up.

  • @crazyfool619
    @crazyfool619 11 лет назад

    thanks man. I didn't realize what was wrong with the trigger buttons at first. I had only been messing with it for a few minutes before I watched this video. Glad I saw this before i broke something

    you need to make sure that all of the ends of the ribbon are lines up with the pegs. the pegs have to go through the hols and stay there

  • @keeganmcewen4758
    @keeganmcewen4758 11 лет назад

    @GavinEaster there should be a small hole on the back of the controller look for it and get a paperclip or thumb tack and stick it in there and you should here a noise then just hook it up to your ps3 and it should turn on

    Thank you for posting. It showed me what to do with the two plastic clips I could not work out where they came from. Turned out they were to hold the battery in place (which I had just replaced with one which is not held in place with a sticky foam pad).

  • @turbosixgaming

    A bit out of focus / blurry and I had to watch a few times to see how the spring went in. Otherwise, good vid!

    Thank you, I just did some cleaning of my PS3 Pad (the X key became a bit wobbly - all it required was cleaning the key chute) and I panicked as I couldn't close it back into place because of the trigger keys. Your video helped my to fix it, and probably saved me some good £30 :)

  • @justpsychohacker640
    @justpsychohacker640 10 лет назад

    You forgot a very important step dont give the PCB in the ps3 controller a electric shock if you do the controller will be destroyd. Tip to avoid this dont be on places where you can get electrical. Ex if your cat walks in and jumps up on your knee and the cat can be electrical and you are in the same time reassemble the ps3 controller the electrical can lead to you from the cat and if you give the PCB a electric shock its not funny anymore. Sorry i forgot my English language i hope you understand a litlle

  • @zzzhuh
    @zzzhuh Год назад +1

    Just cleaned it and the l2+r2 both weren't feeling right once I got it back together. They didn't snap back like they should have when pushed.
    Little tip, not sure if it got covered in the video. The little metal pieces should both go on the same side. Meaning, both should be underneath the guard or towards the bottom. I had it to where one was on top, and one on bottom, but it was mushy.
    Idk if that makes sense or helps, but basically both of those metal tabs should be on the bottom, and it'll feel kinda weird, but having both on the bottom side creates that spring tension.

  • @StarkFTW2
    @StarkFTW2 11 лет назад

    i am having the same problem the problem is the there is power obviously but the is a strip between to boards that connect the two if it does not line up perfectly you will have problems controlling the controller so when yo take apart the controller look for a strip next to the usb plug in. then look at the bottom board and connect the strip to the board and your controller should work. hope i helped.

  • @zebramasklover
    @zebramasklover 11 лет назад

    Thanks, it was helpful! The lower 2 buttons I couldn't get right though, in your movie you have them attached to the plastic before you put the cap on.. I didn't see how they were supposed to fit, so I had to have them sit loosely in the bottom of the controller, and it wasn't so easy to fit it together! It works again now, and my square button can be used as a non sticking BRAKE in Gran Turismo again

    @nunyabiznis9186 5 лет назад

    took mine apart to replace a broken spring and clean it (to see if that fixes some movement issues), but the back cover will not reattach.
    it'll get partway on, but the rear triggers will get stuck or those parts on the case will fly off forcing me to start over.
    I'm getting seriously pissed off.
