Dropped my controller and the X button stopped working. Came here to see how to fix it.
Too much work. Dropped the controller again on purpose. X button now works fine.
MrShroomes LMAO, funny how that works sometimes
+Soft Drinker agreed
Same thing happened to mine.Solution was the same as well lol
who is here after the release of PS5?
I’m here after the release of the PS5 slim lol
Hooah!!
I can relate
@@TZ_yessir. Got one but remember that OG time when was rolling on the PS3. Just wanted to clean ds3 and try to play on pc lol
Me! Cleaning up my controller to play marvel ultimates alliance
A recommendation for keeping track of small parts: use some bowls from the kitchen. Also, put a cloth down on the work surface to keep screws from bouncing or rolling away.
Showing how to put on the L2 and R2 at the end really helped! Really good video man!
+Coby O thank you for the feedback man
Ditto
the l2 and r2 buttons are the worst ones by far when it comes to reassembly
Hardest part for me is placing the triggers plus r1 and l1
@@THANOS_SPA bruh try to take the battery with fatass thumbs
A visiting dog chewed away half a joystick. Ordered a replacement from dx, and used this video to avoid too many of my own blunders replacing it - this did the trick. Thanks for taking the time to share :)
Thank you for your help. I noticed other videos just open the controller up easily. They don't explain where the front clip is and the difficulty if this is the first time. You saved me time and money. I appreciate you taking the time to save me time.
🙏🏼 Thanks man.
"Thats how small mine is and yea" hilarious
I had dropped my controller twice or thrice and the housing kindof unclamped between the screws of L1 and in the middle.
I was afraid I could mess it up, but your video helped me a lot and managed to fix and clean it in like 10', without even taking it all apart.
Thank you very much Chris!
Great video! 👍 I couldn’t budge my rumbles ( used controllers) but every other at that point was helpful.
Bro I can't move my rumbles either :(. They look kinda different to this guys (it's a legit controller just used) how'd u move them?
Thanks this video helped a lot even tho I just needed to fix my analog stick😁😁
Thank you, sensei.
Your video helped me a lot to give a second life to my old DS3 controller, now its back in play.
Great video, I have terrible up close vision so I tried to take mine apart but now can't really get it back together correctly. One of the connectors behind the L1 button...Do you or anyone you know repair and or rebuild these ? Thanks
If you are swapping batteries make sure that you let the control charge for a little while before you test it because I couldn't get it to turn on and was freaking out slightly
Amazing. I could see the original gamepad button rubbers..
+Kenshiro 😍
@Videogamefanaitc2468 I just disassembled the newest type of controller and with the rumble packs there are two white stubs that stick out like small poles, use your pointer and thumb and squeeze the two poles together till you hear them clip off. That's if you have the newest controllers that come in the cardboard packaging. thanks for watching and leave a thumbs up if this helped! thanks
hey my controller is a dualshock 3 sixaxis but mine did not come with the d-pad part that you were showing (the important one)? Is it because i have a newer model because my d-pad was working just fine?
HOW DO YOU GET THAT CLIP AT THE BOTTOM OFF? I t just won't come off for me - even if i try to force it off with a flathead screwdriver
I can't even get the ps3 apart.. ps2 controllers are much more easier to pull apart and they are even older! Screw you Sony for making things complicated.
@@nelzelpher2088 yea fuck sony all they care about is money they do this so you get frustrated and you have to pay a Sony guy to fix the issue for a profit of course.
I broke the clip lol
Does any one no how to tighten the R2 button its a bit loose and when im playin a cod game my gun will fire with a lil tap
I'm probably late but you have to re adjust the spring to be pushing against the white thing that holds the shoulder buttons and rumble motors. Obviously you have to disassemble it
@xXzeregaXx which part are you at? your motherboard and plastic pad is still together... are you trying to take out the rumble packs, what they have is a sticker that sticks on to the plastic carriage so you just cautiously with a good strength and push it out.
So the white, rectangle shaped “cradle” or whatever that was under my battery on top of the circuit board: do I have to put it back in ?
0:22 that's how small mine is

@@Chrisshao legend.. mans has been replying since 2011
This is how I found out my red PS3 controller was made differently
Hello, thanks for the video! I was wondering if my select and start buttons do not work but everything else is perfectly fine and I checked the buttons and the graphite is ok, maybe is the circuit board where they press to grab the signal? Appreciate your help!
Thank you dude my casing is a bit worn out and needs to be replaced, this helps a lot
The scews on my controller are very tight and I cannot unscrew them :D
Picked a good background song 😂
what was the song?? i really need it
Thanks for the video, was wondering if the d-pad rubbers were usable on a dualshock 4, and they are!
Hi,
thank you for this perfect tutorial. Due to this disassambling and your reassambling Video, i managed to do it and repair my controller. Tanks! Your tutorial is much better than all the others i found on yt ;-)
OOOOHHHH NOOOO - He lost the ring - What will Bilbo Baggins say! Arrrggghhhh
Lol
I am literally watching the fellowship of the ring right now, wtf
Welp.
Am I the only one having trouble taking off the battery? It just won't come off! My fingers hurt.
If i put out the rumble will it still run correctly or it must have a rumble ?
I watched over 15 videos on how to fix the the L2 R 2 button problem and none of them mentioned the spring placement, thanks you've been helpful !
🙏
I cant take out the battery
More info needed to understand what you mean, lol.
same lol
Same
hold the white thing and pull that's all.
if you are talking about the rumbler packs you must move the little clips on the side and then pull out
i cant detach the battery you did it so easily wtf
same here
***** Lol, hope this aint serious
the battery is in a carriage, only remove the battery not the white plastic carriage.
Pull the white tab & wires of the battery out of the brownish box housing its plugged into.
I used a pair of small pliers and squeezed really gently while I pulled it out and it came right out 👍🏻 for anyone who is having the issue of no nails or just can’t get it to pop out. I tried with my fingers but I couldn’t get it
*In case you're having issues getting the battery out:* use tweezers :3
Hey thanks. I was playing Arkham City and my combos were screwed. Random buttons were being pressed so I thought I'd open it up and try to lock things back in place. Your video helped a lot with taking it apart and putting it back together. Everything's working fine now.
Is it only me or does a ps3 controller look like LEGO
Its only you
Maybe if you step on it barefoot it will "feel" like LEGO? Dunno.
It will hurt 👍

It's not the PSN button it's the PS button
Its actually psn.
+Best Pony
No, PSN stands for PlayStation Network which is what you use to send messages to your friends, play multiplayer etc.
Wow congrats
wow thanks bro you helped me alot! my 2012 controller had 1 or 2 different things in there but then this still helps alot!
That part that helped the most and i thank you so much for doin this was the r2 L2 button fix and by the i used your other video to paint my ps3 controller!
i think i broke my shit
Fix yo shit. lol :)
Hiram Salinas me too
Damn. Because of this, my controller is unresponsive. Why, WHY did I have to watch this?! I literally have to waste 60 bucks now. DO NOT ATTEMPT!
Johnathan Jurgensen What happened?
This happened to me too
DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO FOR YOU PS3 CONTROLLER WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE!!!
MasterGaming Elaborate with what happened. How did it get messed up?
Unresponsive because? :(
My ps3 controller don't work anymore.
Thanks man I just tried this today and your hints really helped
There were 2 little screws holding each of the rumble packs in on my controller.
Anyway, very good guide. I needed to replace the pin which makes the trigger button spring back. Was struggling for a while, came here, sorted 5 mins later. Good stuff.
What would you recommend to use to clean the controller?
I don't really want to use water in case i ruing the circuit-board, what household product could be used?
Chris Shao i have a question regarding the analog stick/joystick how do you disassemble that you see i am trying to resolve the issue of how i am experiencing interrupts
The joystick in the controller is soldered onto the Motherboard - to disassemble you got to DeSolder the whole joystick metal cube and replace the part - or you can blow compressed air into it
@jochman12 I am not to sure because I never opened an xbox 360 controller but to take a guess... I don't think so because 360 thumb sticks will either be too small/big or it doesn't have the same shaped hole that fits into the ps3 sticks (rectangle)
I wanted to see you reassemble it. Thank you for the video
Thanks for the advice, I did find it easier to use a small screwdriver to push on the clip and open it. Have to be careful when putting metal against plastic but it makes it a lot easier.
I have 2 things to ask
1: with the rubber that is used on the triggers the rubber pieces that kind of look like a flattened lego piece one of mine broke and now the l2 button does not work would you know where I could get a replacement?
2: something I found out when I pulled apart my controller when I broke it was the white pieces on the circuit board for the battery were not there and I am sure I didnt lose them because I didnt take them off would you have any idea why this would be missing?
thanks and very helpful video
Kai Westgarth 1. you could try searching Ebay
2. For the white pieces for the battery, if you are talking about the carriage... it is not a big deal if you do not have it
This vid has really gud quality. Just lyked and subbed
@speedy123321 when you are sure you got the screwdriver in the cross notches, put pressure and slowly turn... Make sure your screwdriver is the right size and you are using a (x) not a (-) screw driver
thanks man. been trying to do the l2 and r2 for 2 days but finally got them on :)
This helped a lot, i just wanted to customize the body, so hopefully there are no problems!
ii need to clean the joysticks so i figured i would pen up my remote, just for kicks, and well to clean it. would th process for a non-vibrating controller be the same?
i love the way you hazetated when you thought you lost your ring but you kept going i like your video
When you painted your ps3 controller did you let it dry in the garage? And was it warm that night as im doing another controller soon as its for my friend and i told him ill do it in a week
but the weather forcast is due to rain all week and some of next week please help how to dry
I had one controller that got wet and stopped working and another I smashed when I got mad (It happens lol) but still worked. So I took both apart and put the good components into the good frame. Now I have a perfect controller again. Thanks!
I have 2 PS3 controllers; An original Sixaxis only that came with the older fat PS3 models, and a Dualshock 3 controller.
The Dualshock 3 got a big crack from one of the handles after I hit it so I'm replacing the shell with the Sixaxis controllers shell since that one has a sticky joystick and two non working shoulder buttons. I'm gonna re assemble the back shell half and test it to see if it hopefully works
Great video, I took the controller down to its skeleton and cleaned it out and now it’s like new. 😊
Nice!. sick
OMG. I've been looking on how to repair the R2 and L2 for my ps3!! Dude, thanks a lot!
hey Thanks for the 3 videos and keep at it and make so more and thanks a gen
Wozza
Thank you so much I now finally fixed my R2 and L2 buttons!
hey in the time 4:55 do i really need to take it apart when i dissemblem the controller
Very Helpful, Good video man!
Thank you mate
I did laugh when you said you'll need the controller to disassemble :)
Good video, was a help. If anyone does this, makes sure you are doing it over a tray or table, because many many parts will fall out.
how do you put the flexible plastic circuit board inside the spring mechanism if it has slid out.there is a bit of rubber with 2 holes on it that is supposed to hold it somehow but i am at a loss.please help.
Hey this old how do I losin my joy sticks there like stuff like when I move around in a game
whenever i turn on my controller it goes disco, by doing this would it fix the problem?
My L1, L2, R1, R2, does not work anymore. Any suggestions ?
worked for me, thanks!
Do you half to take out the battery pack because I cant get the little wight thing out?
Thank, totally saved me some money!
Wow the duleshock 3 A1 inside looks different I’m guessing urs is the first model there’s A1 and B1 also
Can you remove " the two towers " (i don't know how to call it else) from the circuit where the joysticks are attached on? because one of them shows damage from overusing it..so it constantly sticks when moving the joystick.
had to replace the sticks thanks your a real big help :D
Can I know what to do when the X button is not working.. I've seen many videos and i see their controller is a little bit different in the inside part. For example, they have the green and colourless thing sticking in the LED. But not for my controller.
Could be the rubber that touches green film on controller board
Thanks for that video! It's very useful.
I am trying to assemble my original DS3 controller and that claw like shaped bit of plastic from the d pad doesnt seem to fit any way and is preventing me from fitting it together properly, any help please?
i realy need help ,i was doing this so i can paint it, then when i was unscrewing the rummble sticks because i have a differnt kind then the wire broke, so i dont know if it will still work! the red wire broke but the black one is fine, so can i get it repaired or can i do it myself , my dad has a lot of tools in our garage. i dont want to buy a new one:(
need to take one of mines apart because it bugs out & the do pad or analog cant tell which yet moves stuff on the sceeen on its own i have several more so nothing to lose but even so any pointers?
Best video on this out there nice work broski
What’s the music in the background?
@@ComputerTechnic217 it was definitely a Medley/Mashup of RUclips video for 2011 - not sure which video but Sam Tsui has good ones
Thanks for the vid, one of my analogs is messed up going to try to change them soon.
Hi, there! This was really helpful, but while taking mine apart I had a screw strip out. During the process of getting it out, I had a piece fall out of the casing I didn't see in your video. It's about half an inch long, plastic, and rectangular in shape with a sort of foot on one end, like it's meant to press a button that's off center. Any idea where it should go?
Long shot, I know, after ten years, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
It has been two weeks, but that piece you describe fits between plastics in the middle of the backplate
In the video the place is visible at 2:01 , in the opening where the charger goes, to its left
🎁🙏🏼
Do we have to unplug the battery pack to do this? Because I am having the hardest time unplugging it.
I know this video is old but do you have any advice how to like lube the sticks? I bought an off brand controller and it’s pretty good but the sticks are trash, do you have any advice on how to make it smoother?
need to take it apart and the box that holds the joy sticks to either blow with compressed air and maybe put silicone lube inside? :/ think those sticks are just worn out though because I may have tried in the past
Chris Shao Thats man, I’ll try this out as soon as I can!
Thank you, I needed to take the shell apart so I could wipe the gap clean
How Can I take out the part what is underneath the Analog stick,
Hey thanks that info about the clip saved me
thanx i want to paint the buttons green, can you paint the sticks as well?
Analog stick went out of place
Thanks for the tutorial, looks like I finally fixed a controller.
Nice vid bro, thanks.
what product do you recomend for dyeing your anolog sticks (srry for my bad typing)
Hey one of my rumble packs broke off my ps3 controller how do i fix it?
Can it be possible to paint the controller without disassembling it? Cause i might mess my controller up and im not risking that.
what would you use to wipe off stickness like orenge juice
It's a helpful video and does exactly what it says it does.
i cant get my rumble pads out do u push them out or pull ?
do u need to Disabble all the things in ur Ps3 Controller?
thanks bro youve helped me install my bullet buttons
