- A simple step by step video to help you fix that controller issue.
Yup it happened to me, 2 years later the controller packs in, time to get it fixed. :)
You will need
Scissors or something sharp to cut the chunky mofo(adapter) on the wire.
Some kind of tape to seal the deal
A mini phillips screwdriver
As a recommended guarantee of long term repair.
Soldering iron (If you are between the ages of 16 or less Adult supervision is required)
Music in soldering scene N'to petite
I do not own this content, just background audio when you are working it.
I hope this guide helps you.
Thank you and happy gaming.
3:54 wtf was that m8
LOL
All my wires were severed. I cut the wire holder off, stored the wires, twisted them back together and put the unit back after using insulation tape . I just duct taped the wire around the bar to the unit and it's solid. Works great.
u fuckin genius I've been looking for countless videos since it broke u saved my life
Thank you very much for the positive feedback there, you have made my day! I am glad i could help. :)
+Danjovi .sagat how did u take off the adapter thing on top
I used a crimper its like a pair of scissors to cut the adapter off, be sure you are cutting around the wire not straight through. :)
did you use a potato camera?
samsungs auto focus shows its true colours in this video. lol
MyCoolester it will be just the wire. The circuit should be fine.
Yea, and if you don't have a soldering iron, it'll most likely still work if you wrap the wires together and tape them (insulate them from the other wires!).
MyCoolester: I'm no expert, but let me weigh in! Are you absolutely sure? I think a broken cable is often not clearly visible. Does it matter whether you move the controller or the cable or does it keep happening even if it's perfectly still?
If it still happens then, well, I don't think anyone here knows how to fix that. If the controller is not old, you should contact Customer Support. If it is, I'd just throw it out. If you're into DIY projects, you can save both the cable and analog sticks for future projects (you have to unsolder them though). The cable often breaks and you can replace it, you analog sticks get crappy when they get really old.
Familiarize yourself with your camera's minimum focus distance. Also, you want the wire to wick up the solder. You might need to add some flux into the mesh of wires you tied together to get them to suck up the solder a little better.
Excellent. thanks. Got this issue with two wired controllers. obviously a design fault or poor/cheap material choice... but looks relatively easy to fix. thanks again for the video :-)
Thanks bro! Fixed it only by cutting and merging the cables with tape :D
Thank you a lot, I repaired my controller.
In my case I didn't find any cuts or twists among the wires so I had to remove about 4 inches from the cable to make sure I got over the broken wire then connected it again, Thought someone might find a similar problem.
1:06 = LIKE , SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!!!
Thank you. :)
Yup, that was the exact thing I was looking for as well.
i have two controllers and the cable broke on both: Now i've fixed them and they are good as new. Thanks m8 :D
Thanks for the video, having the same problem, might try it out.
About your focus issue though. :p
If you want the camera to focus, you need to move the cam away from the thing you are filming. You keep moving it closer, which means the closer it is, the harder it is to find the focus. Move it away, find the focus, then slowly move it closer until it unfocuses again. Right before that happens is sweet spot. That's the closest you can get with the cam you have. If it's a phone, you can tap the screen on the spot you want to focus on, then you tell the camera which part is the important part and it will try to focus on that.
Just a friendly tip for the future :)
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the help. I realized how fat my fingers are and how bad I am now at soldering, but I got the job done.
thanks a lot u fixed my controller!! this video rocks..
Not a problem, glad i could help shed some light on this. :)
+Danjovi .sagat I accidentally cut the red wired what do I do
you will need to strip some of the red coating of both ends of the red wire and twist them together, it should work. I hight recommend a soldering iron if it persists. Sorry to hear that.
I'm glad I came across your video after countless hours of softwarerelated troubleshooting.
Question: Was in your case the insulation also damaged?
Because mine was fine and it took me some time to find the spot where the wire was disconnected
The case insulation was fine nothing damaged there, the problem was located underneath where the wire had broken off, I had to cut the insulation open to get to the wire basically.
@@Danjovisagat encountered this problem today. I was about to break my controller until i found your video. even though the whole quality may not have been the best, you still helped me out. thanks to you i took a look between the conductor part ( the round black thing) and the controller itself. indeed i encountered a broken wire. thanks dude!
Thanks for the video no matter how the c quality was but also big thanks you fixed my problem!
Hi, I plugged in my Xbox controller and for some reason, it doesnt respond. However, if i move the wire a little bit, the light flashes for a millisecond, then stops. I do this a few other times, and sometimes it doesnt even do anything. It cost £20 - is this price even worth it?
shait! almost broke mine too.. thx god came on time to learn about that 7th screw behind the sticker! ;)
gabrielcalamaro That screw got me bad. Glad i could save the stress.
I found that screw wire quick but it was the only place it could have been lol
The black "Xbox 360 controller for Windows" had a cable that was a piece of crap. I remember buying a white one when the console was still on sale and it works perfectly fine until today, except for one of the bumpers, that also was a hassle when it bended.
this would be an obvious fix but i dont have tin and a solidating set
buy an iron... its less than 20€
Armani Almonte yeah i did
Armani Almonte i know how u feel. my name is also armani btw lol
if you look around on youtube, you can find video on how to do a home made soldering iron.
so it can happen again you do know they all do it its rigged from dirty microsoft
Will be Doing my best, Thanx Bro love Fixing
Well good that you used your little method to remove that adaptor thing... well how the hell did you do it???
Gigi Becali i used scissors and cut into the adapter thingy avoiding the wire, it worked for me.
Thanks. I don't even know if this is my issue tbh, I think my controller might be a chinese copy... dog eating bastards
Damn, it took me like 30 minutes to take that fucker off
@@bogdy2craizy true I have the same prob
@@bogdy2craizy LMAO
Thank you very much. Really helped me there.
Nice it definitly worked for me (damn you red wire)
u save my life bro its work now thx
instead of soildering just wrap color wires to each color wire then wrap each wire with a peice of thin duct tape
Kraft Punk Good contribution. Thanks.
Duct tape is not for electrical wires .Black tape is used for electric wires.You can cause a fire using other tape besides black electrical tape
+TSpider Keeper You're not going to cause fire with controller, lol
considering how fucking shitty all Microsoft hardware is and how much Microsoft hates you and how evil Microsoft is. don't be surprised if it could cause an explosion.
Get out of here Kraft Punk! You're the worst!
The Winter Solder.
thank you mate, u earned a sub
Yeeeeeeeeesssssss now I don't have to buy one. I borrowed it from someone and my dad couldn't fix it nor did he try but I'll show him this
Wtf, when have you cleaned your room the last time? In 1991?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THANKS it worked for me!!
For me it fixed the problem when I looped the cable on the back of the controller and fasten it with a rubber band. Seems like the weight of the cable while moving the controller caused my disconnects.
saved my last 80$ bucks, thanks dude
i hv da same prob but im jst a kid and its to complicated
Mine didn't freak out it just won't work and it has a wire connected to my Xbox
but how did you remove the little adapter thingy from the wire?
I used my crimper to cut the adapter thingy off, it works like a pair of scissors, if you use this method try not to cut into the wire, just around it.
soldier? oh you want the soldier to fire the bullet or the rpg to the controller to break 'em?
How do you remove that black thingy? The one that you took off to open and reveal the wire?
1:38
sorry it was not clear in the video about that. I cut around the wire to get it off.
You video gave me the confidence to tear the cord apart and I found the broken black wire and fixed it!!! I used big heat shrink wrap tubing and put it over all of the wires to insulate them.
Great man! It work for me. Thanks aloooooooot.
help me so much
thank you brother!
dude tha k you for the video. tha is thiabshit fixed my controller. I dont have soldier but used elec tape. the is again dude
Honestly get a life. I have had a shit phone. But sure. I'm a incompetent homosexual. Maybe next time you'll be accepted by society's basic life. Like your basic attempt of insulting someone. What you need is a friendly trip to the local pharmacy. Ask for this stuff called Viagra. And it should help you go fuck yourself. :D
how do you remove the adapter?
I used crimpers which work like a pair of scissors, be sure to cut around the wire thats how I removed the wire. This will prevent anymore wires getting damaged in the process.
Thx bro really hepled out a lot
for me the 2nd controller is doing the same after 1 year... any way i fixed the problem by wraping the cable around the controller and woylla
my xbox 360 controller not working I do it but its have a 4 lights but the keys not working
Please help me, I've followed your video and so far so good, but i was wondering if you could help me and tell me where i can find a solider exactly , and also where do i get duck tape from? i can find any in my local pond or canal. The ducks just don't seem to want to give it up.
lol :L
Any suggestions to fixing a controller that can't control the camera because it will move by itself and the only way to fix it would be to smash the control on the floor
sit on the floor and you wont have to reach as far to hit it on the floor. or check if you can adjust the dead zone
Black wire was the probelm on mine too. Seems to be a little poorly placed
Your room is kind of filthy bro lol . Thanks for the tip , do you have any tips for figuring out where the break is before you start tearing into the wire or the controller? My children have abused their Xbox360 control it could be almost any where the number of times they've rolled over it with their chair
Valosar Aria not really to be honest. if you move the pad around like in the beginning of the video and the controller disconnects it will likely be one of the wires in the black sleeve.
"DUCK" Tape?
When i connect wired controller the light quickly turns on but wont work
yes and it gets pretty annoying when I'm hardcore gaming on my Xbox 360 I take real good care of all my systems games and controllers everything I see dust I freak out
Yea this is nice and all, if you can actually find which wire is damaged and where. The insulation on all of my wires is intact and I can't figure out which one of them is botched. I guess I'll just toss the controller and buy a new one, I've had this one for a while.
Any ideas on how to fill in the hole at the top of the controller afterwards? Now that it's fixed I don't want to put stress on the small wires that are now exposed. Hot glue gun came to mind but I don't have one. I would hate to have to buy one just for this.
You have the tiniest thumbnail...
Hello can you tell me how to find where the wire is broken I am having the se problem when I connect an other cable and bent it it blinks please help
MY controller suddenly have this error code 43 device descriptor fail and i know it's not my usb ports they are fine and not corrupted.. Maybe I'll try your method, I'm so desperate! nothing works literally this is the last solution I've not tried
I
Me too
What do you do with the foil
my controller was just like 1 week and it already stopped working
thanks a lot! :)
My xbox controller flashes once. and it stays.
Thank you.....
Not a problem, glad I can help. :)
The inside of my remote is yellow
Where were you able to get the wire for the controller?
My controler won't tured on
Can We Use Simple Tape Instead Of duct Tape?
Your the Video Game Repair God
Thanks :)
My youtube revenue will soon payout.
Should i invest in:
1.) A different controller
2.) Better camera
3.) Something else("you suggest")
A video announcement will be coming out once google have paid me for the first time in my life.
I thought you were going to use an entirely different USB cable instead of the same Xbox wire, in mine I can't find the point where the wire connection is broken so I chopped the whole thing off to the junction place so I can attach a new USB cable to it
But I'm not sure if that will work so I haven't done it yet, don't know if my pc is going still recognize it as Xbox controller or something else since now the cable is different
its duct tape not duck tape but thx really did fix my controller
sagar deb my bad i shall have to annotate that. Glad to hear you fixed it!
please give me your email ? I need to know how to do it
Osama Butt sure man it will take a few days. I will write out a nice how to with images. and sebd you it. :)
Danjovi .sagat thank you man ! and yheah you should upload a clear video. well it is also very helpful but there was some points I could not understand what were you doing :)
wow this is great thanks bro
Thanks, but please practice your camera work.
Brand new .. same problem.. for under 6 months old and used less than a month is just poor workmanship in production
ah yes you are right there, its not the first time iv seen this happen to the controller.
its supposed to break microsoft want this they rigged you controller every controller i opened it up they have rope connected this breaks after year then the red is just hanging on then comes lose dont buy microsoft ever again
May i ask how to put the controller properly when not in use?
Nj Jt when you wrap the wire around the control be sure not to wrap the beginning of the wire around the controller. it will cause less strain on the wires, be sure to leave it sticking out but the rest wrapped around if that makes sence.
I am led to believe when the whole wire is wrapped around the controller it causes stress on the internal wires.
Great question
sorry i didnt mention that!
.
this seems to be the way brand new controllers are wrapped up. hard to believe a first party console control is this cheap. its obviously made this way on purpose.
The problem of my controller is the other end of the wire, the one with the usb
I have this problem with my ps3 controller
hello I cut off all wires and then connect all wires it does not work
Connect the wires on the controller, be sure to expose some of the wire on both sides.
white connects to white
red connects to red
green connects to green
black connects to black
so the colors match and connect to xbox or pc.
You should see it work. It may take a few attempts keep checking the wires..
I believe you can do it.
What I did is roll the wire around the controller 3 times
good help
My cord on top of controller Broke u can see the red green and white wires but it still works i just put tape on it
Stxrzei That happened to me a few times. i didnt have the best tape when I made this video to be honest. if you can find somwthing better use that.
thanks man, it fucking works now :D
hey, can u help me recognize whats happen to my controller? i just bought it 2 days ago, and now its weird. i use for gtavonline. when i connect, it all normal. but when i move the controller, suddenly it not responding anymore, but no sounds like controller remove, the lights not blinking. its look like normal but the controller not working. i must remove it and plug in the controller again so it can work. whats wrong with my controller?
Hello Christopher, sorry to hear about this issue.
If it is definitely the Xbox 360 controller you will need to strip off the adapter thingy and reconnect the wires as one of more of the mini wires has snapped underneath the wire sleve. As shown in 1:39 in the video.
Did I get the controller right?
This video can show you how to get the controller reconnected.
:)
Wow how do you remove the wire
TheMighty IceDragon hey dude I plan to do a livestream of how to fix the controller pretty soon. I'll explain everything to it.
Cant understand
none of my wires have a problem i dont understand
3:54 what was that
could not see anything
i lost patience i trash mine, too bad to throw a working device i have since 2005 with day one xbox 360 ! i have already xbox one controller so right now is doing everything
It just goes out of focus too much.
my black wire is ripped and the same thing happening like this but you do hard way to fix it and I need all the equipment for it any other way ?😊
If you do not have the recomended tools, i suggest ripping the coating ends off the broken wires and twisting them together making sure the colour matches , make sure they do not come undone and once done, tape er up good. :)
i know its kinda late but what is the name of that silver shiny wire? because it was disconnected on my cabels and i couldnt connect the controller only if the silver wire touched each other so i connected the silver wire with a material that conducts electricity and then the controller worked for 1 day. in the second day my controller started to have the same problem and now i wanted to ask you how could i replace the silver wire or is that wire really unneccesary like you say in your video because i think without that i cant connect my controller to my pc
its supposed to break microsoft want this they rigged you controller every controller i opened it up they have rope connected this breaks after year then the red is just hanging on then comes lose dont buy microsoft ever again
its a scam wire so you give up repairing an easy fix fuck microsoft really
yes
Yes
cannot seem to find broken wire..
Most commonly it will be located underneath the adaptor as that is the part of the wire which gets the most wear and tear over time.
this is really useful, but holy shit i can't see shit.
help me
yes i have the same thing happening to my controler.
thanks this was great help, used a stick and duct tape looks ghetto as hell but works :)
thx man
I just got mine controller brand new like 2 months ago and now it's doing that it's pissing me off that I can't play a game with out it doing that time to get a new one
Sorry to hear that, 2 months? That is just terrible!
Your TH-cam name tells me you deserve better.
Yeah
My controller is called rock candy and I got pink
Should be the same issue as the official xbox 360 wired controller, the wire has split. Not your fault, the wires are very thin. They look cool.
