Problem encountered while using the DualSense controller?
I attempted to replace the analog sticks on the DualSense controller, and the left one is working properly while the right one moves extremely to the left. During desoldering, I damaged a wire or track as indicated in the images (the insert link caused an error, so I used the direct URL). I suspect the drift might be due to the wire being ripped or possibly a missing resistor, or both. Could anyone help me figure out the fix? Thanks.
I would anticipate encountering a resistor for the left stick if the right stick had one. Uncertain about the symmetry... I searched for "Dual Sense controller pcb image" and found several pictures. It seems there might be a suitable image for your controller. Fixing the controller depends on the full damage extent—both visible and hidden—and requires very careful soldering if it can be repaired.
Everything functions properly, all triggers, buttons, and microphones are working, including the left analog stick. Only the right analog stick is experiencing drift; I even changed both sticks to verify if one was faulty, but they only worked on the left side. On the right side, drift is still present. I suspect the issue might be related to a stubborn wire coming out of the board that hasn’t been removed, preventing proper connection. Are there any special adhesives used to secure such wires on the board? Or would it require completely removing the old wire and replacing it?
