Ok so for those that still have an issue, it might be the one I had. My r2 on my controller kept going off nonstop. Every time I COD or Fortnite my guy shoots without me touching the controller. Sometimes it stopped but he mostly kept shooting. I took apart the ps4 controller. You have to get to the contact points which are behind the buttons, in front of the plastic thats in front of the motherboard. Make sure to take out the r2 & r1 button. Once you get to this clear film, you’ll need Isopropyl Alcohol with cotton swabs. Clean all the contact points with the cotton swab that has been dipped in alcohol. Once cleaned, put back together & it should work as new.👍🏽 Just did mine & it works like brand new. P.S You might as well clean everything with alcohol to save you future trips from opening the controller to clean it again. Merry Christmas & Happy New Years👍🏽

Thank you so much! I was having a breakdown trying to figure out why it worked in the main menu but not in apps. I pulled the L2 button down and blew into it super hard and saw visibly there was less dirt in that crack. I went into my apps and now it works!! I don’t have to get a new controller!🖤🖤🖤

These videos were really helpful! I bought 2 very cheap controllers, one with R1 always "on" and the other with R2 not working at all, the first just needed a deep clean on the conductive flex cable with isopropyl alcohol, the other one has visible degradation on one of the paths for the R2 button and the multimeter confirms there's no signal, so I'll order a replacement flex and save 2 controllers from their sentence to the landfill 🙂

Thanks so much for this, man! I didn't think the tape would work but it did perfectly. It might be just a matter of time before I have to replace the silicone completely, though. My only suggestion would be to put the reassembly all together at the end of the video. I had to seek back and forth to find the different levels of diss- and reassembly, to make sure I was doing it right. Again, great video and thanks for the help!

@dont4get2wipe Жыл бұрын

Thanks. This helped. I was traveling with the controller and the trigger got jammed weird, which made it permanently stuck because the little nub that’s supposed to keep it inside the casing got pushed outside the casing. Upon reassembly the springs were driving me nuts so I tried it back together without them. Works fine so far, will reinstall them if the controller is acting weird. Oddly enough, it didn’t seem like the springs were ever through those side pegs to begin with. So I guess they were just hanging out squished between components.

The fact that he showed both models of the DualShock 4 is absolutely awesome👏 my R2 would go off out of nowhere and then stop it wasn’t bad or anything but would definitely cause some issues while playing cod and fortnite so I removed the R2 like shown in this vid and it definitely has some sort of dust inside, it all came out with a little brush and running the R2 under water

If you want to break your right trigger in rdr2 turn on infinite ammo and infinite dead eye, make sure you have max dead eye level, go into first person and aim down the sights with a semi automatic pistol, hold L2 and spam R2 and R3. Your pistol basically becomes a machine gun but your controller will probably end up broken.
