Hey if you're like me who already did this and the r1/l1/r2/l2 button still doesn't work, it might be the green contact trace on the plastic that is not connecting well to the gray contact trace. What I did was to get a pencil and basically traced/drew a line going from the green contact trace to the grey contact trace (do it a couple times like you're shading with the pencil but don't overdo it). Now try to put back the rubber pads and see if the contacts have been connected by the pencil line you drew (pencil has lead in it so it can make a contact), just try and try till the button finally responds. Hope this helps.
Problem with mine is it's unresponsive. I've known this method and many others. No part of the controller board looks fried, it's cleaned out. Just does not register my input. Swapping pads I found it was the board mapping but am lost as to what is wrong with it
Kinda late here but try pulling the circuit film out and clean it with some 50% isopropyl alcohol and after it dries up take a No.2 pencil and carefully color in the button spots. The lil black spots. The use a cloth old t shirt or something an wipe em off. It may help and if it does it won't last but only a few days but it's the same way as any "fix" for ps4 controllers temporary at best. Also check the ribbon cables really quick and make sure you haven't put them in a lil rough and tore the gold connections check both the one on the back part or the controller and the one that comes from the touch pad. The best fix is buying a new one and these days they're hard to find without ordering it online from a reputable place like Walmart not GameStop. They gave me a refurbished PlayStation two times. While charging me for a new one an the only reason I knew it because the void sticker was tore off the 1st one and the 2nd one had dust caked in the vents. Good luck
@@JoeNathan42420 this works for me, thank you. Now ordering a replacement PS4 conductive film for a more permanent fix. Appreciate you bro! Pencil tracing for the win!
@@Pk1da Nice 👍 idk what made me think of it. I might've seen it on here somewhere I'm not sure but I've known graphite was conductive for years so 🤷. It works ok for me for about 45 minutes sometimes longer 🤣 and you may as well order some ribbon cable too. I've found that when one of the pins ground out with one of the connections things get weird. Like L2 combines with R3 or X.. I'm sure they have pre cut pieces but I ordered some 24 pin cable a long time ago and used some of it. I just used an exacto knife and cut it to size. I have a completely custom controller now with new better quality analog sticks and mapped buttons lol. It's pretty much a scuff but probably better. But nothing beats just buying a new one. Good luck
how do i fix the l1/l2 buttons if they physically fell off (and i definitely didn't throw my controller against a wall) ( and you'll help if u tell me how to fix a dented wall)
My R1 works but my R2 does not respond ,I opened the controller and everything looks clean and it was working good all day till the next day it sudennly stopped
couple of months ago I opened up my ps4 controller to fix the stick drift on my left stick, managed to fix it and put it back together but I soon noticed that the l2 trigger didnt work, tried countless times to fix it and watched alot of tutorials, ive tested the controller while it was open and all the buttons work expect the l2 trigger, im gonna give up on trying to get it to work :/
Hey can I ask does it work but not work properly. If so you will need to buy a replacement trigger silicone part as this wears down easily also check if the silver spring is still there
@@murtza_6640 i have both the silver spring and the silicone things works fine too but l2 and l1 does not work, even though R1 and r2 is exactly the same
@@arkhamegt7370 it’s probably the right side of the board you could try and test it by pressing the board with your finger instead of the silicone part it it doesn’t work then the board is broken. You will need to but a replacement or easier buy a new controller
@@JJrJavier keen eye for this sort of thing is all. I honestly couldn't tell you how many times Ive pulled mine apart but to after a bunch of times it seems to just fall apart when I grab the grips that certain way lol
@@aldrintahiri I was playing Bloodborne one rainy day and out of nowhere the R2 button stopped working. A few days later my brother tested the controller and the R2 button appeared to work only to stop working again a few minutes later.
Bro thank you it worked and if anyone else is having this issue and it doesn't help you don't hate on this man like it actually works your controller just might have burned out and you may need a new one
L3?, did u mean l2 and the reason your R1 stopped is maybe due to contact pads are aged, worn out or when resembling u may have accidentally put something in a wrong position
I have a question do I have to clean those things that you cleaned??, and what if my L2 button still doesn't work because that's the only button im having trouble with it doesn't let me aim when im playing first person shooter games:(
yes try to clean the parts ive cleaned in the video especially the contact pads but clean gently otherwise cleaning it rough can cause some issues i think
When you’ve seen this video, we know you are playing Fifa.
Damn man you guessed it right
frfr😂
Yess i broke it on fut champs😭
No fifas fucking ass
No apex
How do you take the R1 in L1 buttons out

Same bro, I haven't even had this controller for that long and it's already having those issues. I don't wanna have to buy a new one

how do i fix the l1/l2 buttons if they physically fell off (and i definitely didn't throw my controller against a wall) ( and you'll help if u tell me how to fix a dented wall)
just pop the L1 back in. for L2 you should disassemble the whole controller lol
Thank you so much. It is really effective and repaired my joystick perfectly ❤️👍
My R1 works but my R2 does not respond ,I opened the controller and everything looks clean and it was working good all day till the next day it sudennly stopped
Idk why but my bottom left screw keeps on spinning
Is there anyway ti do it without taking apart the controler
Does anyone know how to fix the l2 and r2 button randomly triggering without any pressure?
Not sure but most games have advanced controller options and you should be able to adjust your L2 R2 deadzones so they don't randomlu trigger

@@murtza_6640 how important is that silver spring?
@@austinayala it’s crucial to keep it’s because it is what keeps the trigger up so you can press it down. Without it the trigger won’t come back up.
@@murtza_6640 i have both the silver spring and the silicone things works fine too but l2 and l1 does not work, even though R1 and r2 is exactly the same

My problem is that my r1 button inputs are not working
I couldnt take out the buttons its so difficult how did you do it
My L1 and R2 are not working when I try to play a game. I did everything still not working is it because it gets wet?
did it work in the end or not?
Does this work if I have to fix the r1 only?
Yeah
Tell me this is the 2nd time you've taken apart your controller without telling me it's the 2nd time you've taken it apart
howd u know

Does this will work?
tf exactly what happened to me

Well explained bro 👏🏽🙌🏽😂😂
Thanks for this! Quick and easy fix
I don't have a macbook, does it work with another laptop?
haha lol
@@JJrJavier JHC?
ho provato a fare tutte queste cose ma non funziona ancora
Bro thank you it worked and if anyone else is having this issue and it doesn't help you don't hate on this man like it actually works your controller just might have burned out and you may need a new one
I can't remove the L1 and R1 buttons
the controller wont break just try pry it out ps4 controllers are suppose to be durable
I just pop em out with a screwdriver. I've got big fingers so it's hard to get a grasp of the buttons to take em out by hand
bro the screws are a pain in the ass to get out
I did everything but it doesnt work
Hi I opened my controller to fix my L3 button I fixed it but then my R1 button just stopped working,any thoughts?
L3?, did u mean l2 and the reason your R1 stopped is maybe due to contact pads are aged, worn out or when resembling u may have accidentally put something in a wrong position
Ok ty
Bro all I got was hit my r2 into my desk and it fixed it
Nice and thanks for ur Help
You are forever blessed
Thanks for telling us how you are doing it
