You can replace the trigger springs in a PS3 controller with the spring found inside an old floppy disk, if you happen to have any of those lying around! I've done it before, and while it can be a tedious task, they work great! You will need to shorten them just a bit to the length of the original springs.
left analogue stick kept moving left on its own, it was impossible to play. just took everything apart , cleaned contacts with isopropyl alcohol and problem fixed :) thanks man
Thanks alot for the amazing advice. Turning that little skinny piece of rubber was the true trick. I believe it wares itself flat and by flipping it over it allows for a better connection. My controller was pretty clean, I barely used it cause it was a new backup. So Flipped the rubber piece and it works like new!! Thanks again. You have made a long time Skyrim lover very happy!! Take care one and all. 👍😀
With some controllers you can clean up the contacts for the analogue stick and some other models you can replace the whole stick by buying one on eBay for about $4 but yeah you can't play COD, GTA or Minecraft like that you guy just goes wonky
Mxjz ° just buy A New 1 bc you wont be able to Fix it, i cracked it cleaned it Replaced it still didnt work...the only way it did work sometimes was if i pulled the stick up..& played like that..🤷
DUDE. I resurrected my PS3 controller thanks to your video. Thanks! (Mine was pre-owned from Gamestop and also contained several suspiciously curly hairs. I feel your pain).
I flipped the cushion behind the ribbon cable and it just fixed my issue with the left analog stick. Prior to this fix it would move all over the place the same way as yours.
Depending on what model controller you have you might be able to look up a new thumb stick on eBay and if you're any good at soldering take it apart and soldering a new one cost like five bucks
You have no idea how much your video saved my life...🥵 THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH. those stupid motor wires broke on me like 3-4 times and that rubber piece had no clue as to where it fell from until your video & so much more.. And all I did was purchase a used ps3 off ebay and wanted to clean it up for my son. YOUR VIDEO WAS DEFINITELY A LIFE SAVER.🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌. You have a new Subscriber.
@RealQuickChris thanks for the tips. I've been looking for a replacement ps3 controller and unable to find one... finally did but it wasn't working either. I was able to use it for spare parts. Now I'm back up and running again! (Real hard to find an oem ps3 controller when the ps5 is around the corner.) Thanks Chris!
You're a legend, nice one mate. Took everything apart and cleaned it all, and that tiny strip fell out. I thought it was just battery cushioning or something! Turns out it's absolutely critical to the functionality of the pad. Have to say I'm not such a big fan of this design, would prefer it if it was on a PCB instead of this flimsy plastic strip, very fiddly to work with.
Thank you for this video. I’m not sure if it will solve the problem I have with my controller, but I appreciate your walk through of cleaning one, nonetheless.
@@rubenmelchor8 I recently busted out my ps3 to start playing it again and all my old controllers have this issue. Inputs being activated like crazy without me pressing anything. I have a feeling it’s a problem with the console since it’s every single controller. Very strange
Great info! I had OEM DS3 controller unused because of rapid character spinning when ingame. Followed the tutorial, loosened and clean ribbon cabel and motherboard contacts with cotton swab moisten with isopropyl alcohol (there were 2 in my controller type) and sticked some tape on supporting rubber to make better grip and that completely SOVED PROBLEM ! Thanks for effort of making this video. You've got 👍
First time watching your video, you're hilarious my friend. I know that wasn't your motive but just throwing it out there. Thanks for that piece of info, the ONLY thing that scared me off was the pins for the triggers. I just backed off trying to open my controller. I might just order a new one
Thanks a ton :) I added a strip of electrician tape to the black rubber thingy to make it thicker, and I cleaned the flex cable and the contact area of PC board. It works perfectly now (I also had to solder a lose wire, but that was a different problem, it was my first time soldering but it went fine).
Yeah stick drift is in the thumb stick and to do it correctly requires desoldering and soldering on a new thumb stick. You could get away with forcing the thumb stick housing open pulling out the contacts and cleaning everything up but you run the risk of cracking the solder connections or bending and breaking the thin metal of the contacts of the insert for the thumb stick.
I had an issue with a controller blinking as in it would not connect to the ps ended up being the charging cable was bad but it could also be the port on the controller. I would first try to rest the controller by pressing the rest button on it then connect it to the ps with a good charging cable and go from there
Have you ever pulled a PS3 console apart.. Mine keeps turning itself off.. I think its full of dust and fluff.. I was told it may be overheating but I reckon dust is the main culprit...
I wish I had a wired controller, or an extended cord. Because when I have drift on my ps2 controller, it’s usually how it gets plugged in, but it’s good to go afterwards.
@@RealQuickChris It didn't work, i have cleaned two times, i don't know what else i can do. The controler was ok...then it was not. Any thoughts ? Thanks
aside from cleaning the connection on the board and the ribbon cable, maybe just behind the buttons themselves. did you flip or replace that black foam piece? that thing needs to create pressure on the ribbon cable to the board for everything to work if it's worn out it could cause problems.
Thing is,when I connect to ps3 it works perfectly,when I connect to pc it bugs the left stick,and guys its risky to open controllers this guy don't say this but old controllers the plastic is weakened by the time try to open let's say a 5yo controllers you might having problems and break stuff it happens and its normal specially with older ones so only if you positive that is a "hardware" cause if it is not you ended up like me,follow this guy's steps carefully and even being careful I broke an essential plastic frame so it is not good,I connect to see if it worked after cleaning and still the same problem
4 any ps3 fan doing this. Depending on when or what dualsock you bought. Their insides will look different. The worse are the oldes one like from 2008 trust me, you don't want to get disassemble one of those. Edit This one in the vid is pretty close to it. Lil diference is that the battery is not plugged but solded cables. And the most mageous part being the plastic thing if it slips out of the bumper and trigger is a pain to put back on.
i don’t have a screwdriver (newly moved in, theres alot i don’t have) so the quickest fix for me is to plug in the charger and then take it out, kinda ”resets” the controller
I appreciate the video. There are better videos fixing that connection without taking it to that level. Add some paper from the sticky side of a post it to the sponge and done. I added like 3 and my controller works super good now
Alright. Well to put it simply, I have loose analog sticks but they do not wander or anything like that. When I took the controller apart and plucked the sticks off the mechanisms, those worked like normal. But when I put the sticks back on, they were loose like before. I tried switching them around to no luck. Am I SOL and going to have to look into new mechanisms? My controller is a white Dualshock 3.
Are you saying that the plastic part you put your thumb on is lose? And when you take the plastic thumb stick part off the real component that is soldered to the pc board is working well? I have had the plastic thumb stick part crack at the base where it goes on before and just replaced it with one on eBay for a few bucks. You could also use some glue if you want but I would use school glue something that is easy to take off if you have other issues in the future. Let me know if thats the problem or if I am misunderstanding it.
I must take care of my original PS3 controllers so they last many more years because any replacements are crap knockoffs and are digital. I have a 4 piece model and a 2 piece model. Gran Turismo 5 wants analog controllers, which the original ps3 controllers are while ps4 and knockoffs will not work with the game. I cleaned both of my controllers and added some tape to the bottom of the foam part so there is a tighter connection. Worked like a charm and all clean. You can order new battery replacements on Amazon for $20. If you must, search ebay for refurbished original OEM PS3 controllers or motherboards.
I recently bought a red PS3 controller from CEX that was having this problem but it was not to do with the analog sticks for me. mine only started happening everytime I press and hold the PS button or plug a charging cable into it. It goes haywire and starts moving everywhere on the XMB menu by itself sometimes entering my profile, trophies, the store, inbox messages and such by itself. I had no idea there was an actual name for this issue though. As much as I would like to attempt this I somehow doubt it'll help with my issue.
I tried cleaning it once and it still goes berserk. I will try cleaning it again but can you tell me the name of that black sponge rectangle so that I can look into buying one
If you want a 100% clean controller, then everything except for the electronics can be soaked in warm soapy water. Take out all the buttons and give it a wash.
Mine is weird, it only glitches out in my 2 MLB games, 13 and 15, I got to the schedule screen and everything is moving by it self really fast. Just played NHL 14 with no problems, smh.
i was trying to do this today but there's one screw that got out of shape so im all trapped and the back board wont open nor close so it was very hard to put it back. i did not bother to open it again tho i put oil. I'll just buy another. rip.
It’s started getting random inputs on my original controller years ago. Bought a used one and it had the same issues. I should have just bought a 3rd party new one
(READ) if your planning on buying a PS3 controller. Go to amazon and don’t buy a used or official Sony controller. Always buy a third party one around 14-16 dollars. Don’t buy a 2 pack one either.
I can understand why you shouldn't get a controller that's used. But what's wrong with getting an official Sony controller that's brand new? Or a 2 pack?
L1 and r1 placement gavee greif. If you have trouble like i did, you place them after the pcb is fastened into the front plate. I kept mushing the rubber membrane by placing the l1 and r1 befote the pcb. Dont be me.

What size screw driver did you use?
What size screw is it, that you have to use?
The same size as the one you took out
