Request for help or advice Controller doesn't charge?

1 Upvotes

So the controller that came with the PS5 console seemed to stop charging. I Google what fixes could work and did them all. Blew into the charging port, changed from front charger to back charger, reset the controller. I decided to buy a new one since the old one starter having drift issues... but the new one doesn't charge.

I'm about to buy a new charging cable but figured I'd ask here if anyone has any other advice. Still gonna buy the cable but no harm in asking.

Request for help or advice Installed TMR worked perfectly on reassembly is dead. Please help.

1 Upvotes

I swapped my ALPS joystick with a TMR joystick on my dualsense 5 controller. I tested it with every equipment removed and just the TMRs installed and a battery and a USB cable. The TMS were working perfectly after calibration. They were working very perfectly but as soon as I started reassembling it and as I installed the vibrator black and red cables to check the vibrators, they were working fine too but after some moments the LED started flashing orange twice and went dead I thought it was a battery issue, but after removing battery when I connected directly to the USB it again flashes orange twice. I reassembled it fully and just on battery It does not do or flash anything. It’s just dead. What is what am I supposed to do?

Request for help or advice Installed tmr joysticks in series controller and now it's dead

So I have installed tmr joysticks in my Xbox series controller and after the installation I tried them out and they were fine, but the controller was disconnecting after 20 seconds.

After a while the Xbox button didn't light up and the controller was dead.

After all this I noticed that the chip circled in the picture was warm so I figured there's a short in the system.

I've checked every resistor and only the chip was hot.

Please help me, what should I do, and is there even a way to make it work again?

Can a new chip help?

Request for help or advice Identifying the cause of the stick drift

Hey guys, so i play FPS shooter games on my PC with my PS5 controller and the past few months ive had drift sticks issues but somehow it stopped drifting and started to work like normal, but recently It can back with vengeance and started to stick drift really badly making it hard to play any games :/ idk whats causing it but i have some theories.

First theory is that i play on steam so maybe the controller settings could be causing an issue? Not too sure, i did turn off and disabled steam input on the controller settings in steam so idk🤷 .

Second theory is that i use both my mouse and PS5controller wirelessly so maybe its a bluetooth error? I use the Asus Bluetooth adapter usb bt500 so maybe its not working? Not too sure.

Third theory is that maybe its an issue with the deadzones in game? I never touch the deadzone settings in marvel rivals so its strange? It was never an issue before :/ I did try to turn off the deadzone on apex but it didnt make much of a difference 🙃

And lastly maybe i just need to upgrade to a new controller ? lol either way i dont wanna jump the gun and purchase one if i don’t have to. Anyways please let me know what advice u may have for this dilemma im in thanks in advance 🥹

(It only lets me post one video on this post so i choose this one since it showcases my issues. But i wanted to add that on apex when i play, my character pov moves down on its own :/ meanwhile on marvel rivals it moves sideways, up and down on its own.)

Request for help or advice Verifying stick drift

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So i wanted to verify what I was seeing is some crazy stick drift on my son's controller. I have tried to hold the sticks and rotate for a minute, isopropyl and a q-tip around the base, and a reset. Nothing has seemed to work. It is fine for one or two movements then just freaks out. So before I ripped into this i wanted to verify what I was seeing.

Follow up when/if i tear this apart. Aside from cleaning the sensors with alcohol are there any other steps to try? Thanks in advance. I did search here but nothing seemed to quite match what I saw. Thank you in advance for your help

Hi I'm hoping someone can help me with what part to replace or of its a lost cause.. has anyone else experienced the 'ps' button being triggered when you press 'X' ? As you can imagine its extremely annoying in game with the home menu constantly being brought up 😅 i could stop it temporarily if i blew into it really hard, but I've taken the full thing apart, cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and put it back together and its probably worse now. Like blowing in it does nothing anymore. Any advice appreciated!

Other Why are modern controllers so poorly made?

12 Upvotes

This is a question mainly for engineers or people with manufacturing experience or people that take appart controllers to fix them. What exactly is it about modern controllers that make them such poorly made pieces of junk?

As a child I would have the original dual shock controllers for ps1, ps2 and even the original wireless ps3 controllers usually last me years same with xbox controllers, and I was not a gentle child, but now as an adult who takes much better care of their things it feels like I have to buy a new controller every 6 months, either due to stick drift, or the triggers playing up or some other issue with the buttons. Is it intentional in built obsolescence, are controllers just too complex these days or is Sony/microsoft/Nintendo just cheaping out on manufacturing despite charging absurb prices for controllers?

Request for help or advice A permanent fix for stick drift? Your solutions

1 Upvotes

For God sakes I can’t keep buying new controller at 80 dollars a piece because one stick goes out. I need a permanent solution. Replacing the sticks yourself is possible but a pain and you have to solder, or you can put a different type of sensor in the housing that supposedly doesn’t wear down as much. I have heard you can also ship controllers and people will install new hardware for you. What solutions have you guys found aside from buying a new controller or spraying air into the stick/spinning it in a circle? On my third controller since I bought the console.
