How to Fix A B X Y Buttons on an Xbox Controller | Repair Stuck Sticky Broken ABXY Series X S One

Күн бұрын

Tutorial on how to repair the ABXY buttons on an Xbox controller. The 6 solutions should apply to ones sold during the Series X S, and Xbox One era, and may also apply to the Elite series. Buttons on those can be stuck down, not responding, sticky, or mushy. I go over how to cure those issues, through cleaning and replacing, when needed. This video includes pretty much a complete teardown, and a complete reassembly of the controller.

Thank you!!! I unfortunately had to take apart the controller and do a deep clean because three of my buttons were sticking. But following this guide was so easy and now everything works. Also for anyone else that has to take it apart, the motherboard screws were t5 on mine

spilled teryaki on the xyab buttons and it got sticky in the barrel of the buttons. Your video got me in, got them cleaned, and got me gaming again. Many Thanks!

@pascalvautour2774 8 ай бұрын

Step one worked. Not shure if there was actualy dust in there, but it seems the button was a bit crooked. prying a bit with the piece of cardboard to get it to fit all the way around seems to have allowed the button to pop back into place. happy to see my control alive and well again :)

The issue with my controller was with the "X" button, which was not responding unless really pressing down on it. Unfortunately I had to resort to Solution 6 as nothing before that really worked. It was somewhat a nerve-racking experience given the fragileness of some of the inner components, but your video made it really easy to navigate through each of the steps. Ultimately, this fixed my issue and the controller is as good as new. Thank you!

I tried everything in the video but A and B just kept sticking. Finally I tried the suggestion between solution # 3 and solution #4. It worked! The buttons are now unstuck! IDK how liking a KZfaq video can stop console controller buttons from sticking but here I am. Maybe cause I hit the like button WITH the controller while it was still in a state of partial disassembly it randomly worked. Our dog ran off and buried the D-pad and L-trigger again but once I dig them up there's an 80's Soap Opera themed turn based strategy pinball game I can't wait to binge for a good 72 hours.

Ever since I've been using the method of blowing on the buttons to make them not stick for an hour or so. After following your video and cleaning it out it finally feels like new again.
