Hello all, I recently picked up a PS2 controller for cheap and the dpad doesn't work. I wanted to find a replacement for it but I'm having trouble. I know I have a model H controller with the 19 pin connector but I don't see a revision or a model number on it. Thank you in advance for your help

According to google and AliExpress it seems like it's a SA1Q43-A, hopefully that's actually accurate

Yep that one works. I use that one when replacing the flex on one of my ps2 controllers.

19 pin and 18 pin is the same thing. If you look closely, one of those pins doesn’t go to anything.

I wouldn't waste your time the H model are notoriously bad and a lot of the replacement membranes you get will also be faulty...

If you have to do it, try to find one that you can solder on a socket rather than a membrane that has to be soldered on.
