Thank you, now I know I shouldn’t fix it myself
Thank you man... My friend had dropped mine due to which it's sensor was bent at the contacts....
You helped me open it and fix it up😊
Fixed! Thank you for the video. I didn't have a air desoldering unit but between a solder sucker, soldering braid and a fine tip soldering iron I was able to do it.
where did you get the parts from? I have the same issue and i do not know where to get the button replacement from :(
@@samdavidsmithI found a two pack on Amazon
Awesome work! Thanks for the fix on this and cool to see a video of the action too. Yet again another save from Alon - last time it was manually unbending pins on a CPU that was crowbarred into my PC by a friend.
Glad to help!
Fantastic production quality, thanks for sharing this repair with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
It's crazy that steam doesn't have a simple way to repair this problem. I'm going to try this in a few days when my parts come. I've never soldered before but I've watched multiple videos now and think I can do it.
I think Steam's design decision here is honestly quite reasonable. Compared to other consumer electronics, this thing is so much easier to fix. Plus if they made it even more modular, a handheld console as large as this would probably end up even bigger, and that may not be a good thing for usability.
what temp did you use for the hot air?
Hello, I had exactly the same problem, to solve I lubricated the plastic button and glued a thickness of about 1mm between the plastic button and the button. now it works perfectly.
Thanks for sharing
Doing it this week when my LB button comes in!
Used a paper clip to make contact to the button and got no response, so this seems to be the fix since the button clicks but doesn’t respond on the Deck
I know this is old and I don't expect a reply but I've have a problem removing the r2 button can i have any advice on removing the pegs i do the same devices you and put it in the same place but the button won't come undone
What tool did u use to check if the component was soldered properly with the beepings at 21:51 ?
Multimeter
How much a reapair like this would cost? i have the exact same problem.
Costs 125 to send to Steam. It's an annoying issue and it's due to the position on the board of that button. I even replaced.the L1 but not s permanent fix due to the internal click
does it feel mushy or is it as clicky as the original
Haven't noticed any difference in comparison with the original one, clicky and still working like a charm since it was repaired!
@@IFIXIT4U-UK thank you verymuch for your comments
I'm gonna do this tomorrow.
I'm too scared.
Want to share your experience?
Its usually not the button itself, but the trigger that hits the button. It wears down.
That was not a case in this scenario, but thank you for your comment which might be helpful in different scenarios
What kind of flux did you use?
Mainly using only Amtech
@@IFIXIT4U-UK Thank You for the Reply🙂
All those times you said it was working it only worked about two thirds of the time.
That's the slow os
I replaced the left bumper assembly, thinking it was wear off something but no, still does not work. Frak you valve.
Guess the data connector's got some fault in it
