My god this is deetermination, patience & years of skill just on the solder side. That there is a franken pad on its last legs now if the pots go in the future surely it wouldnt be worth attempting to repair that board again for the effort its worth. Great example of electrical surgery if ever ive seen one.

Nice job. I’d be checking them deadzones though, I find I’ve got to chop and change potentiometers to get the deadzones sometimes under say 0.5%. A lot will show readings of over 0.16% causing drift . Especially in games like warzone on lowest deadzone settings . Other than testing the ohms on the pots , chopping and changing , trying to get the same readings , it’s a bit pot luck what deadzones you get when replacing the potentiometers

@Solder_king 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks and solid advice! I don't know why I didn't show the deadzone test in the video. I almost never do but I should start. I have a little box full of replacement pots and I always measure them with a meter before using them then I actually use warzone with high sensitivity and low drift to really test it lol. I swear, using the map in warzone is the best test.

@gulmulmiah1919 2 жыл бұрын

How do you chop and change to get the deadzone under 0.05. I've replaced the potentiometer on my DS4 three times but I keep getting value of >0.1.

Id love to know how you got that picture so bright do you have some time of special mounted bright light that's ideal for this kind of work? I need something for working in a computer case or doing soldering. Any recommendations? Also that box is awesome. I'm trying to fix an elite controller right now but for some reason the sensitivity is really high and nothing I do within Xbox Accessories will fix it. With the slightest movement it goes to 100%. You can tell there is a huge difference between this controller and a regular one. Have you ever run into this problem before?

@Solder_king 3 жыл бұрын

Make sure your iron is at a reasonable temp, I usually keep mine at 410-430, try to be as quick as possible and don't apply a lot of pressure to the joints with your iron. Too much heat, long dwell time and too much pressure can weaken the pads and cause them to lift

Great rework. I have never had any luck with solder wick I have tried it up to 400c but still cant get it to, wick up any solder any tips?

@Solder_king 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks! :) I suggest adding fresh solder to the joint you're trying to wick up, then add flux. It should wick up pretty easily. Especially if you keep your iron tinned during the wicking process.

Great help. I've got a few series 2 pads I've been practising on, there a real mess, but I would like to make a proper learning mission to fix them now I'm a bit better. Do you have or know where I can get any schematics or diograms, so I know whats going on and where the connections should be. Thanks.

I'm experiecing this is issue right now with my step brother's controller I"m repairing I replaced the analog stick but after replacement the right stick's y-axis is stuck at +%100 (upwards) and will not go any lower. I think I can't see any obvious trace damage but I think I did apply to much heat to long (mostly due to the awful lead free solder that got stuck in one of the vias and wouldn't wick out. sadly I didn't have a solder sucker on hand so it was a pain to clear the via.

@@Solder_king I ordered a new tip for my Hakko FR-301 desoldering pump a couple of pads i was working on it looks like some of the mask burned off but the pad and traces look good. I tried wetting the solder with ChipQuik to lower the melting temperature but sucking up the solder the sticks did not want to come out. I never had these issues with the 360 pad but xbox one controllers for some reason are hair pulling furstrating to remove the pots. wondering if they made the via holes just a bit too tight and with the lead free solder requires intense heat to melt and pull the vias through. I tried using goot wick but I haven't had good luck with this purple wick. I think next time I"ll go with chemtronics. I can show you a picture of the PCB, what's ur E-mail addr?

@@oOignignoktOo1 i just repair a series x controller yesterday, and yes the holes from the potentiometer are really horrible, one out of 3 pins i always have difficulty flowing the solder clean it took me along long time with patient and time. In the end i use a tool call "Vacuum Solder Sucker" goes around usd 6? it basically a cheap solder with sucker build in. Just place it on top a bolt through solder point wait for it to melt and press the sucker, it suck it out clean, took many attemps, by adding flux , adding new solder. These holes inthe new controller are horrible for sure, i have zero luck with solder wick too.
