The capacitor spring assembly in this video is backwards, and it never engages its contact plate on the motherboard. You can see that the original had a little tab facing the center of the controller, opposite the thumbstick cable, but the replacement one went with the cable. The controller still works in this configuration, but it's unable to sense that a thumb resting on the thumbstick. For anyone following along, just make sure that the capacitor spring tab is on the opposite side relative to the thumbstick cable
Much thanks. Very helpful. I should have watched it entirely BEFOREHAND and maybe I wouldn't have lost a screw in that hole, but it all worked out. My battery cable was about half as long as yours. Had less than a 1/4 inch of space to work it back into the connector.
You put the spring thing on the new stick in reverse - the metal flap is opposite to the ribbon cable on the stick (which was like that when you took it out) but you put it same side.
What if the joystick was broken in half like right down the middle, and the face plate can you just place it back on the controller? Without the adhesive?
Also you have to put the stick plastic cover on just as you screw the stick to the circuit board since later it wont fit through the hole, your video cuts with it already on, but if people follow it blindly they will have to disassemble everything again
🤔 is it possible to fix the led light off? the controller still working fine, can recenter view with Meta button and all button is ok. Usually if pressing button on controller it will light on for a moment right
Please help Meta quest 3 The buttons of my left controller are not working its turning on and whenever i put in new battery it says battery low after 5 to 10 seconds the same battery works fine in the right controller and shows 100% in the right controller but left controller only joystick works no other button works
Hello, I broke mine just like that and I do not know what to do, nobody in my house knows how to fix it and I have no skills to fix it how can I seek help to get it repaired?
Go to a cell phone repair shop and send them this video or video of breakdowns of the controller they will see and can fix any issues not to mention they have the proper tools
This looks alot easier than the 2 i tried to fix my 2 controlled but eneded up breaking it completely! Lol will the thumbsticks i got for the q2 work for the q3 are they pretty much the same?

fire alarm going off got me on edge in the background haha. but thanks for the video 😊
Got it done though, and everything works great, thank you for this video!
This video was super helpful thanks for making it
Thank you for the detailed instructions!!
Followed step by step....controller is completely drifting to one side during gameplay....whats is going on?
Joystick plastic cover magically appears at 6:40… Did I just get screwed and now I have to go all the way back and disassemble again to put it on?
Had to use a Nail file on the edges of the plastic cover dome edge to get to fit through
any tips on how to get the correct joystick? does this work with a quest 2 joystick replacement?
How did you remove the trigger because you just randomly cut?
Removing the trigger is in there, was easy to do, go back and rewatch
I can't connect the power cable back it's so short

i need this for the pro controller
Also you have to put the stick plastic cover on just as you screw the stick to the circuit board since later it wont fit through the hole, your video cuts with it already on, but if people follow it blindly they will have to disassemble everything again
Can you give us a link for the correct joystick to buy
Are any of the joystick modules off Amazon ok? Or is there a specific one
I’m inclined to recommend the ones on our website because I can speak to the quality, but ultimately I’m not sure that it matters too much.
@ so pretty much as long as they fit they work?
@@fixmyoculus your website only has quest 2 joystick parts
how where you able to insert the joystick to its place? 😢 it magically appeared the next second lol 6:39 then 6:40 bum 💥 there lol
I take it out and go over this more around 3:47
@ got it, had to go back :(
Would you recommend replacing a joystick if you can't get drift to go away?
Yes.
🤔 is it possible to fix the led light off? the controller still working fine, can recenter view with Meta button and all button is ok. Usually if pressing button on controller it will light on for a moment right
I fix it like in the video ,now i have to try it
What if you safety strap broke on the quest 3 can I fix it?
On the controller?
@ yeah
I’d just get a new one. Third party straps are cheap.
@@fixmyoculus okay
Please help Meta quest 3 The buttons of my left controller are not working its turning on and whenever i put in new battery it says battery low after 5 to 10 seconds the same battery works fine in the right controller and shows 100% in the right controller but left controller only joystick works no other button works
It sounds like liquid damage.
My joystick is broken and I want to replace it myself but I'm scared to brake the whole controller
You can always send it in to us through our website if you need some help with it.
I don't have a capacitor spring😢
I have some.
@@fixmyoculus are they on your website?

Interesting!
You totally skip the part about how to get that battery cable back on. You need to take off that whole plastic piece to get it in
This looks alot easier than the 2 i tried to fix my 2 controlled but eneded up breaking it completely! Lol will the thumbsticks i got for the q2 work for the q3 are they pretty much the same?
Yes. They are exactly the same. Completely compatible.
@@fixmyoculus thanks I may crack mine open tonight then
okay im just buying a new controller replacement from meta...i cant do this
@@benjiebarker you can always sent it in to us. Joystick replacement is only $35.
@@fixmyoculus doh..just bought the meta replacement...oh ill send the broken one so i have 2....is the quest pro joystick better?
All of the Quest models use the same joystick module. Completely transferable from one to the other. No difference in function.
@fixmyoculus heck yeah, 😊 so i can but that amazon joystick repair kit for quest 2 controller and use it for my quest pro controllers?
This video ain't it
@@marksaidso How so?
