I know this is a simple repair but I still learned something from it. I've done a jumper before using a thicker gauge wire which I flattened before soldering. I didn't expect the small wire to allow for such a robust solder joint. Thanks for posting!

I dropped mine onto the floor once and now it will just randomly cut usb power and it's damn near impossible to get up and running again. I can't count how many times I dropped my ps3 controller, still works like a champ. This build quality is just awful and the A button has always been bad with registering.

I use this same Xbox one controller on PC (for warzone), and recently dropped it and it fell into those USB plug while plugged in. Now, it seems that the right analog stick no longer is recognized, and when pressing the select button when I get I to a game, it interprets the controller as a keyboard input which is weird. I was thinking maybe I partially broke a connection so my PC no longer recognizes the device as an Xbox one controller, but still shows as a "Gamepad controller" in my device manager. Do you think that might be a result of a partially broken USB connection due to the direct drop on the plug? Wondering if I should try this fix or not.

My controller will connect to the cable and all that fine but when I go to turn it on it just blinks a few times like it can't sync and turns off after about 6 seconds.. I tried this with another controller and it did the same thing I thought it was the cable so I replaced it.. nada.. then I thought maybe it's the actual usb connection I was using on my Xbox so I switched it to the other one and.. nada.. I'm pretty much that far in my investigation. With batteries the controllers work flawlessly so I'm confused

My controller won’t connect via Bluetooth. It blinks, and it will do the rapid blink when the sync button is pressed, but will not connect. I tried to use a usb to connect it, but it still will not register on my Xbox. Any ideas what this could be? Is it fixable? It seems like the controller is still usable because it lights up but I truly have no idea.

@RetroFan 3 жыл бұрын

@@Great_Orange_Sultan As I said, I've used my DS4 since 2015 and haven't had a single problem with the controller at all. I had the PS4 before getting the Xbox One X. The console is fine, the controller is GARBAGE. Who ever was in charge of development and went with micro-usb should be fired. Microsoft in all their divine wisdom couldn't bother making a wired controller. Using a detachable usb cable doesn't make it wired.
