Looks like the plastic that stands out from the soldered analog field mechanism snapped off and broke inside the plastic joystick cap.
You will want:
– 1 substitute analog field (precise joystick mechanism that is soldered to the controller’s PCB board) hyperlink to amazon
– 1 joystick cap substitute (included within the amazon hyperlink as properly)
You will must take aside the controller, which makes use of Philips head screws, right down to the 2 PCB boards (may be just one board… i do know the elites use 2 boards). You will must unsolder the analog field from the board and re-solder the substitute to it.Word, the analog field needs to be comfortable when changed, in any other case the contacts may not match will and may trigger drift.
You may join the controller to a PC utilizing the USB after soldering to test if it is not drifting earlier than placing the entire thing again collectively. I used this web site to check the sticks. www.gamepad-tester.com
I did not have a lot ability after I Frankensteined my pal’s a number of damaged sequence 1 & 2 controllers into 2 separate working ones, however was capable of get it achieved after about 2-3 hours. Probably the most irritating half was getting all of the solder out of the small holes to take away the unique analog field from the board. Aside from that, it is not too unhealthy and you will be taught one thing new.
