How To Fix PS2 Controller Buttons Not Working

In this video I fix a PlayStation 2 controller with unresponsive buttons. As these controllers age, a faulty conductive plastic membrane which stops the controller registering button presses seems to be more common.

God, I hate PS2 pads... They're so cheaply made. None of mine work, but my 2 PS1 pads do, which is great, until you try playing one of the few PS2 games that won't let you use a PS1 pad 😣

[@EasyConsoleFixes]

Yeah it's a shame as the PS1 controllers are much better made. You can see with the PS2 controllers how the later revisions kept getting lower quality and cheaper to make.

Do you have a link to the first type of ribbon cable you showed? The "A" model?

[@EasyConsoleFixes]

The seller I linked in the description has a few different types of ribbon. If the the one you need is not there, if you search the number printed on your ribbon you should be able to find it.

Does the film also control the motion on Touchpad? Click Works but not motion

[@EasyConsoleFixes]

The film controls everything except Start, Select & the two Analog sticks as these are on a separate board

[@drejohnson4599]

@@EasyConsoleFixes Thanks for the reply so I guess I try that next after changing all boards still no motion on Touchpad
