**UPDATE**: At 3:30 into the video, I mention having a choice about plugging the LED strip back into the circuit board. Ignore that and plug the LED strip into the circuit board white port that is empty that wasn't connected at the beginning of the video or else the LED light won't work and the controller won't charge! Shoutout out to Neil for letting me know of the mistake!
Compressed air didn't fix my controller. Maybe I should have opened the little green box too? Edit: I opened it this time, cleaned the potentiometer and now it works fine.
This is the hard way. I did it the easy. Buy a new controller with cash and open it and replace the contents inside with the old ones. Take it back and get your cash back. So easy
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU🎉 ive had this problem for years and have spent about 200-300€ on new Controllers, ive tried the "easy" fixes none worked, it was not even that hard to do this. U are a hero bro, much appreciation to you
Bro 1 single controller 200 to 300?? Damn here in Ksa its only 299 riyals something and its only like 50 euro and with 300 euro u get a ps5 😂 here i dont think its 300 euro its like 50 or 79 approximately
Thanks now i know how controler inside looks like but now i can not put it back together maby include part where you put the buttons back on (the hard part)
I accidentally undocked the little grey piece that prevents the analogue from being always pushed up and I can't put it back in. Is it possible to fix it ?
I was surprised that cleaning the insides of the sticks did the trick. Been using different analog controllers for the last 25 years yet never had to do this :D Thanks!
thank you for this video it's work ! the hard part was to put back the buttons who fell 😂 if you see this comment and you about to do it don't forget one thing, do not strip any screw ⚠️
Awesome mate..btw did u face issues with sudden vibrations of motors?ive one that does. Tried reset and other available options...any idea what could be the reason?
I barely pulled that white plug and the whole thing came off. barely pulled it... I'd live the thing alone like other vids I watched afterwards.. thanks for the help.... smh
Dear friend my controller has a problem.when i press the drift r1 to left ,r3 pressed ! I have this problem in call of duty .r1 works properly but r3 also press! Could you givee hint .?
Bro thank you this helped so much and for the d-pad guys take it off and put it under the line and insert it in and then you have your d-pad fixed in ❤
I used this tutorial to fix my controller and now the controller buttons on the right side don't work and my controller is still stuck drifting so it made my problem from bad to worse.
Why is it so hard for them to design a controller that would make it easier to clean? The can easily design it so that you can acess the sticks to clean them, without having to take the whole thing apart. Im too scared to do this because its my only controller and I dont want to break it😅
Its not that its hard at all it's all about money, they could literally fix this issue entirely where no cleaning would even be necessary by replacing the analog thumbstick module with these things called "Hall Effect Thumbsticks" which are thumbsticks that will literally never have stick drift because they use magnets. The problem is that then they would "lose" billions of dollars as the number of people needing to continuously buy new controllers would drop drastically 🙃.
@workhardt8080 That's so true. Hell, I still have my childhood Nintendo 64 controller and the joy stick is floppy and hanging on for dear life, yet it still works fine 20 years later. I spent $65 on a new ps4 controller back in February, and it already has stick drift and dead zone issues. They are greedy bastards forsure. There's absolutely no reason controller's that cost this much should be breaking and having issues, other than money hungry douche flutes, like you said. Are those magnetic controller's available for ps4? Idc if they're more expensive. I just can't bring myself to spend another $70 on a controller that can just crap out on me any time.
hey, I know you posted this a while ago. I just wanted to ask, how did you remove the back cover after removing the screws? in the video he skips the part where he opens up the back cover

Will wd 40 work?
The touchpad could also be disconnected insteaf going through all that struggle
Love you how you said, This is the most difficult part and then skip over it.
Bro disassembled his controler and didn't clean it up 😭😭😭
Bro this man is amazing I did exactly what he said and now all the drift is gone thanks broski
Bro how do I put the pad together

is it hard to take it off?
Nice bro! My controller got even worse than before 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Why not debit?

16:30 mark. Makes installing the center pad way easier!
@@zareklongoria6660can you link it in clicking it it’s not working
What do I spray my controller with
Honestly just blowing on it does the trick. At least it did for me.
Thank you alot! saved me tons of money
it was a bit hard but in the end it was sooo worth it
The reassembly part is the hardest, wish you would show how to slide the front part back on
Use Tweezers for the Touchpad connector, just slide it thru the hole. ik im late but it will help anyone whos attempting this
I accidentally undocked the little grey piece that prevents the analogue from being always pushed up and I can't put it back in. Is it possible to fix it ?
thanks a lot.!.saved me from spending money on a new controller.
I didn't notice any dust in there, but it saved me from buying a new controller.

It's kinda complicated how it looks. To open disassemble and put back together. But I'm sure this helps the problem.
How do you put the touch pad back on if it’s fully off?
Freeze your controller for an hour
Trust me it works
@@hollowthesad8935 I don't really recommend this but I also think it will work coz the controller won't move
Do the shoulder buttons fall apart when opening like the ps3? They seem to be holding together here.
The ps3 was a nightmare to reassemble
Absolute gold! Thank you. This worked. You saved me about $80.
Dear friend my controller has a problem.when i press the drift r1 to left ,r3 pressed ! I have this problem in call of duty .r1 works properly but r3 also press! Could you givee hint .?
Yo, this was completely helpful, thank you very much!
Thanks a lot bro tried everything to fix stick drift but no one of them worked but this one worked ❤❤
Thanks bro I’ll be trying this tonight, it’s been annoying to play lately
I thought I broke my controller but I fixed it thx
Actually worked good stuff. I just blew on it no air compressor. Probably won't last long, hope I'm wrong but it's working for now 👍
Still works fine?
@@Leon.moschee yessir slight stick drift but way better than I had it
@@RazeDee hell yeah
I got my electric leaf blower plugged in upstairs it's about to go down 😂
@@RazeDeestill working good?

@@workhardt8080are there any current controller brands you’d recommend that sell these kinds of products?
It's called planned obsolescence.
What if theres a clip unhinged from the right joystick but its not the one with the sensors
Bro thank you this was so helpful
Thanks bro, i writing from Turkey. You technic is very good. I clean the joystick. My problem is solve. Realy good. Try it!!!!
Worked perfectly thank you so much bro
everyone do not take the green parts off, my controller analogs no longer work.
What is the spray called ? Thanks
Wd-100
@@matejmensik6849 thanks
I fixed my analog left stick with the Isopropyl don’t use too much it works 100 percent
thanks bro u just helped me fix my ds4.
Blowing air via compressed or from lungs into analogue sticks has never worked in any of the controllers I've repaired.
Thanks for showing me how to take out the led connector... 😑😑😑
Bro, thank u so much. This helped immensely ❤

@@glennyboy610 he doesn’t skip this? 0:23
This is easy I’m 12 I was able to do it in 20 mins gave it a whole clean and blew out dust ima do a stick drift test
Did it work?
Yes it did
@@rishanmedenilla6297 I have no stick drift no more
A Phillips Flathead?
Thank you very much bro
The front won’t come off when I take the screw out it’s doing my head in
Think you just gotta be a bit rough with it
My buttons don’t work
Does WD-40 work, this is all I have
That's what I want to know
or what u could do is pul up on ur joystick and move it to the left right up down and blow into it
I can’t play Texas Right now my Left stick drift tripping imma come back when I try too fix my controller
Thanks mine works now
I dont have a screw driver to dissemble the controller what tools can I use?
Tysm helped with my stick drift
Bro the light of my controller won’t get on
Is wd-40 helps??
BRO THIS ACTUALLY WORKS TYSM
i finally got to fix a controller that was drifting for a years now
Thank you!!!!!
Plug in your L.E.D light 🎮 or u won't be able to charge controller 😳 he forgot to inform
Wish I knew this before putting it back together lol
Sorry about that Mark!
My mistake. I don’t use this controller often so I didn’t notice till later. Thanks for the heads up! Pinned your comment others.
thank you so much
it took me some time but good bye stick drift, hell yeah
I did it but I use my mouth
😂
I don’t have a an air can
And it didn’t work so I might buy a new thumb stick
Just buy an drift stick and u might never have to worry about stick drift in an extremely long time
This did not work at all 😢😢😢
thanks Jordan Peterson
You have a choice you either put the LED light in or whatever you want. its your choice xD
Please next time show how to you put the face back on without struggling with the sensor pad thx for nothing
It didn’t fix it at all
Please always disconnect the touchpad before removing the motherboard x.x Yall dont wanna risk it
You sound like badger from breaking bad
It workkssss on 2024, reassembling the front part is a hassle indeed
How do you do it
Can’t put my front plate on , thanks n for helping me break my controller 😃🤦🏾♂️
U are doing it in professional
dawg my analog completely fell apart
I snaped the controler in half
😂 boy what happened , I hope u aren't wrestling with him 😅
Bro what is he spraying then
That’s a canister air dust spray. I stole mine at the office😂 controller finally working No More Stick drift.
I fixed my controller by using isopropyl don’t use too much it works 100 percent
Some may think you sprayed fluid
What did he spray?
VERY EASY
Do not do this unless you know what you are doing!!!!!!
