A detailed and handy guide. Was able to get all 3 covers off and count figure out how to get better access to the bumper. Your video helped with that. The issue I had was the RB rubbing against the RT. When the trigger was even slightly pressed, the RB would pop put and work fine. Ended up sticking a very tiny piece of tape between the two to reduce friction, and it worked.

fixed my RT! i had to take it apart but only the first pannel you removed. some sticky black stuff was all over wherw the trigger makes contact when pressed. cleaned it up with alcohol! it works!! this was a brand new out of the box controller so THANK YOU SO MUCH! i will recommend this vid to others, too! thank youuu!!!!

Thanks! My left bumper stopped working. I got down to the last step, it was surprisingly easy with your instructions. Turns out the plastic tip that connects the bumper to the white circular little post was loose, it snapped off when touched. Ordered a new part for $10 for 1 day shipping with Amazon and fixed it in 5 minutes. Much appreciated!

Don't normally like videos but, because of how descriptive and helpful you were within the tutorial it was well deserved. Even tips about how to learn from tutorials, like watching the full segment before trying to do it along with you. Edit: Wow, thank's. Just saved me £50 buying a new one, my LB button wasn't working, turned out the little plastic sharp bit that presses the button snapped off, I found it and superglued it back on and it works a charm. Thanks so much mate!

Thanks for this. My LB stopped working and I had no idea why. Bought a T8 security screwdriver & disassembled the controller thanks to your instructions. Finally saw what was wrong after 15mins. The plastic protrusion on the casing broke off, so that's why the LB button wouldn't click.

@SekhmetScion 4 ай бұрын

@@ayzee5169Yeah, I just replaced the bumpers. It's one single piece of the case. Just have to make sure you order the correct one. You can tell by how it's split from the plastic piece in the middle (over the sync button). One has a diagonal separation, the other is straight. It's important because the protrustion that goes inside to click the bumpers is different (one style is much thinner than the other).
