Do you have an XBOX controller, and it stopped working? Want to try to fix it? I had one where the 'A" button, the jump button just stopped working, and I fix it. It wasn't easy. In this show how to take the XBOX controller apart and work on it. Have you ever seen the inside of an XBOX controller. It is totally amazing with all sorts of really coot gizmos and mechanical actuators, and vibrators and such... and let me tell you, it was not easy to get this thing apart... Microsoft does not want you to do this, I'm sure. for you DIY'er and XBOX enthusiasts this is a truly interesting video. Even if your issue is not with this 'A' button, this video can still prove to be a great help.
Anyway, If you can't fix, you can get a new one for pretty cheap here:

What setting did you use on your multimeter to short your a button to the screwdriver to get it to work?

This was the exact same problem I had in one controller and was able to fix it, thanks! Now I have another controller with a similar problem I couldn't fix. Have you got any idea how to do it for the Y button? I can't trace where I'm supposed to make the connection lol

Hey, this is years later but on my xbox one controller, the A button is stuck inside and doesnt click at all, but if i flip it upside down then the A button sticks out but the button on the inside clicks by itself without me clicking it ;c

There is a conductive rubber thing that presses against some circular electrodes on the board. These two parts together make up the switch.. On my controller, there was corrosion on one of the traces (strip of metal circuit on the board) that was supposed to complete the circuit for the button. The corrosion was so bad that it ate though the trace, so I needed to solder a new piece of wire to complete the circuit. Electricity is like water, it needs a complete path to flow upon.. and if there is a break in the wire, it needs to be fixed so the device can work properly again. There could be different issues with different controllers?? Someone said they were able to fix their issue with just cleaning the contacts... The was the problem mine had was corrosion.. and required a more complex solution... Yes I suggest you look around the contact to see if something looks not right.. mind you I am an electrical engineer.. so maybe I took it for granted that some one who is not an engineer, would know what to look for?? On mine, it looked like a bunch of powdery material.. and it should look like solid metal.. so I knew there was probably a problem there.. I hope this helps.. have you looked at the circuit yet?? If so, maybe you can describe what you see to me?..

thanks my friend from Italy, and sorry for my English: I'm not an engineer but I like some time find solution ....looking my main board after cleaning with alcohol I can't see any circuit interruption with my eyes....I try to clean and I substituted the button pad ma nothing ...only this start button doesn't work but is important to enter in double game ( my little doughter want to play always with me )mine I need a multimeter to try only in the circle area and find a interruption... thanks

You can also test the controller while it is apart.. you can put the rubber button on top of the circuit pad where it is supposed to sit, and press it down.. this way you can test the switch without having to reassemble it each time! Also, with it off, you can use on ohm meter to test the switch, by touching either side of the circuit.. you may have to scratch the non-conductive coating on the circuit to get good contacts where your are trying to probe the circuit.. Hope this helps..

Sounds like a problem in the circuit board?? or maybe the contact inside needs cleaning??? that would be an easier fix... if you do take the controller apart.. be warned.. it may never work again! you have to be very careful, and be skilled, to get it back together correctly once again... best of luck!

Do you think you could maybe do this on an xbox one controller? Because there doesn't seem to be screws anywhere on it and one of my family members - for whatever reason - dropped it in the toilet and now every button works except for the A button.
