Nice to finally find a video where someone knows what he is talking about, instead of spraying WD40 into everything to "fix" it. Good video!

Thank you Taylor! In my case a screw was floating in the joypad after it hit the ground. The screw was captured by magnet of left trigger. Pressing the left trigger, the screw hit the circuit board damaging some paths. With your video I can see the sensor is still working but its output went lost because broken paths. With a soft solder I restored the path and now the left trigger works again like a charm!

this was so helpful. i threw my controller and the housing for the magnet broke and thought that was game over but no....... after watching this vid i played with the magnet and wahay it started to work. now glued back together and works fine. thanks for this vital info!

thanks for your two videos about these controllers. guess im off to buy a replacement

Fun facts, the Hall effect sensor was first used on the Sega Dreamcast controller, it's a brilliant idea where Analog Potentiometers that are like the classic brushed motor with wearing tear are replaced with something more solid state/digital that won't suffer stick drifting as common with all other controllers, I don't understand why Microsoft didn't also use it on the 3D analogue stick like Sega did on the Dreamcast.

Thank you! You and your easily accessible pinouts helped me check my hall effect chip's voltage and verify my chip was fine, but vout was not soldered well on the board. Controller salvaged

Thanks boss, appreciate someone who knows what theyre talking about, huge help.

Any idea why my complete left side would constantly vibrate when testing my controller on the tester app from the Microsoft store? It goes crazy both the trigger motor and the vibrator motor?

Has anyone figured out which hall sensor is correct to use as a replacement or what the voltage and current specs are for the hall sensor marked 304 (U10 and U11 on the PCB)?

Could I take a sensor from another controller same model and just replace it ? I’m getting a reading as if the trigger is being pushed but it’s not. I took the magnet out and it still was acting as if it was being pushed

Great video/advice, thanks for posting up

Please I am trying launch a project where I am trying to convert my automatic ac controller to touch screen. I am trying to figure out what kind of switch or sensor are the ABXY bottoms. I am sure it is the same type of switch on my ac panel.

Thank you so much I have been wondering why my left trigger wasn't responding for months

I seem to have an interuption in voltage to both triggers, no response to trigger pulls on either. Any thoughts? My first thought was "Buy a new one". have I made the right choice?

while playing Halo 5 or BF1 while xbox 1 controller right trigger suddenly stops responding when I hold the trigger or sometimes doesn't respond with the initial press, but I release the trigger it always but there is sometimes brief gaps or stops ! ... something with the sensor !? thanks !

I have a power a controller and it has some partially rotating thing which detects trigger what's it called i want to buy a replacement my LT is pressing it self

I did get angry at my game and threw the controller at the ground. I've noticed that the left trigger doesn't spring back into the default position, feels kinda sticky and I can click it back into place. When I click it back into place, it looks normal but when I press it the triggers shifts back. Gameplay is unaffected by this but it is annoying to me. I'm curious to know how to fix it if possible. Please respond and thank you.

Hey man! My Right trigger causes forward movements. What causes this and how can I fix it? I also have another controller that is completely crazy on movements, completely unusable.

Hi Taylor, do you have any idea of the sensor number part?

My trigger is stuck too, but the hall effects sensor doesn't look damaged. I had a loose screw too

Where can i buy that sensor or what is hall sensor part number. Am I right that this is SOT 23 type of transistor? I need to buy one. Thank you.

Want to make LT delayed auto clicker how would I do that I gather the holafex sensor can you help?

Hi, Tailor. I have a controller with two triggers always pressed on - is it real to repair it?

hay i have the same i brought the controller and both triggers not working tested them with the meter and i getting nuffin swapped out one of the sensors and still nuffin want can be wrong ? thanks

Hello, thanks for your video, I am on a DIY project and I would like to know if you can tell me how to convert the triggers into a button action.

Have you ever had a problem where the trigger grinds against the plastic? And if you have, do you know of a fix??

Do you know where to find replacement magnets, or even trigger brackets with the magnets already on them? I'm trying to repair my boyfriends controller and I lost the magnets and I've been searching everywhere on the internet for replacements

I can't see very well on your video but what setting are you using for your voltmeter

Great vid. Where can I get replacement hall effect sensors from for this????

Hello, sorry to hijack but i'm looking for a controller to buy. I search and search'd but found nothing about the triggers. So, are triggers just transmit 1 and 0 or have multiple values. i want to use it with F1 2016 to control the throttle and break :)

I just opened up my controller , then my LT suddenly got fixed lol. I assume its too tight thats why its constantly pressing. Maybe opening the controller loosen it up a little. Anyway, thanks cause this video courage me to open the controller! Very simple explanation, hard to find people who explain this problem.

I replaced the hall effect sensor, but it still shows that its being pressed down, anyone know what could be wrong?

So useful, thank you!

Great video thanks, I had a screw stuck to the magnet that I didn’t know was there and it kept striking the circuit board until the board was damaged enough and the trigger doesn’t work

does the xbox nano controller have potentiometer triggers?

Cheers, just needed to know where the chip / sensor was for the trigger so I could order a replacement PCB or try to replace the chip.

Do you know where i can find the chip for lt & rt triggers?

How do I fix my sensor? My sensor keeps spamming like im doing it got any advice how I could fix it

Taylor, where can I buy the U10 trigger sensor? please help me... is there any comercial replacement easy to find? Regards,

Thanks for the video, just took one apart expecting to see the pots on left/right and while I knew what it was doing, I had no idea how to test it with a meter. I do wonder, does anyone make an xbox 1 controller WITHOUT hall effect switches? Something xbox 360 like for the one....

Hey man my xbox controller left trigger keeps squeecking when I press it do u know a way hiw to fix it or when will it stop

Thanks dude, just changed my sticks then one trigger stuck on when testing but i couldnt work out how it worked but after watching your great video I looked for the sensors and found that one had fallen off presumably whilst i was desoldering the switch, now i just have to find the old tiny sensor or try and get a new one, At least i now know what happened, you live and you learn 🤔🤔 does anyone know if/where these sensors can be bought from ???

Thank you very much for this video! Helped me a lot. Btw. as far as i'm concerned, the trigger bumps the bottom shell of the controller, the motherboard is not intended to be touched by the trigger. The pad is just additional protection. A tip for the future is, pls clean your desk before shooting vids like that, it would be a far more pleasing experience. Greetings!

Where can I get a replacement Hall Effect Sensor?

Hey is there any way I can’t send my controller to you I have the same problem but I need someone to help me

My issue is my trigger keeps triggering even after i took the button of so im trying to see where is the actual trigger at and disable it😢i just want to watch netflix

Hi I need some help, is it possible to wire a potentiometer to that sensor, I am building a racing sim and would like to wire potentiometers to the xbox one controller bord. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. Thanks

Yes, this video just what I needed. Long story short, taking apart controller to troubleshoot RT and notice screw missing, no big deal right? But found said screw stuck to the trigger. The hall effect chip is phisically damaged and pissed at whoever conned my ex into buying (yes, $70).

I don't have any voltage at V_in pin, on both triggers. Which amount of voltage suppose to be there?

Thanks man that helped a bunch

Cheers, man. The video was really helpful!

man you are great, now you explained how it works but i want how to fix please asap thank you m8 you got my sub and like and fav :)waiting your respond.

Back to the Dreamcast controller roots

Hi Taylor, my left trigger is also having a similar problem, the LT button is constantly being pressed even when the trigger itself is not being pressed down. Under the casing I do not have the rubber pad that protects the motherboard so I believe the motherboard could have suffered some damage itself from the constant bashing of the trigger. There's a small crack/scratch on the surface of the motherboard that runs from above the Hall effect sensor and down approx 1 centimeter below it (I think this is a crack/scratch).If possible, could I send you a couple close up pictures of what is going on so you could take a quick look for me and help me find out whether this is the issue please :)

My problem is that when I press rt it will act as if it is still held down after I let go. Its only slightly but gets annoying. Only way I see to fix it was to pull the trigger in a upwards motion pulling away from sensor. Not sure how to permenatly fix this but would love to because I did alot of work on this controller

Not sure how common this problem is, but it took me a very very very long time to find somebody provide a fix for this problem. My controller has the same issue, trying to find the chip is proving difficult!

Do anyone know the Halleffect Sensor name?

I have a Wolverine controller made by razor the trigger broke literally! I would need to use some sort of glue or epoxy to get the trigger to adhere back. Do you have any suggestions of what would work best for that sort hard plastic?

how do you tell if its the magnet plzzz plzzz reply

I'm having a lot of trouble with my newest controller. It automatically shoots and aims down sights, but I cannot spot any immediate issues when I looked inside?

did someone found 3 pin circuit?

Were you ever able to find a similar hall sensor that can be used as a replacement? Currently trying to repair mine.

Do you think the sensors of all controller are the same? I have a xbox one s controller and a xbox one elite controller, the elite one stopped working but never had the sensor problem, can I remove the sensor from the elite one and put it in the xbox one s controller?

I got the problem that the xbox / pc thinks the trigger is permanently pressed. I opened it and measured the voltage of both hall effect sensors like you. on both sides i get a reading of 248 mV when not pressed and decreasing voltage as i press them. Seems like the sensors work... any ideas on how to possibly solve this issue? thanks in advance

Can you identify the component at U9 ? Filter possibly? My triggers always show 100%. Short leads to U9 location on board. Dripping ipa on U9 component, it evaporates rapidly, with power in xbox controller pcb.

hey, i know its 5 years ago. i tested my controller and the hall effect sensor shows 0.02 volts. does this mean i have to replace the hall effect sensor or is there anything i can do?

both of mine measure on exactly 0.04 volts and there's no change if I try to press the corresponding trigger down... oh and the big vibration doesnt work but I'd prolly desolder them because its annoying

what's the controller again?

thank you so much for just pointing where the sensor is. i kept reading online about it. I had a screw inside the tope left side. the screw by the trigger button. this screw had come lose and was stuck to the magnet. well the sensor has been destroyed by the screw so yeah. im not very happy

I know it's been a while since you upload this but if for some reason you read this. Do you know if is there a way to replace the sensors with an actual switch? Like the Rb/lb type of switches o a remap.

What's up you earned a sub.

Thank you for the video. I found the magnet and super glued it back on. Lol.

hey man my xbox one controller trigger thinks that it's allways pushed down,what do u thik I should do.

My controller motherboard looks way different, and i dont understand :/ i cant afford a new controller.

Him: *explains* Me: *pretending I have the slightest clue what he's talking about* I see

what if both read the same voltages but one is stuck on would that be a software bug?

great video man

That register just needed to be cleaned,I took a tooth brush and rubbed it hard all the area where the magnet touches,but not hard enough to damage it,it works back fine niw

Is there a way to bypass the Hall effect sensor with a micro switch?

Hey i read where u were trying to make a video on how to fix the controller and the specific part? My right trigger is having this exact issue where its constantly saying that im holding the trigger down. The little black box thats on the mother board does seem to be cracked or something due to competitive gaming that i do. If your still looking for someone to allow you to fix it mines an xbox elite controller and id really appreciate the help. I am a competitive gamer and not having my elite controller, its pointless to try and compete against the competition i have to go up against. Regular controllers just dont compete. 😞 i need help at the very least to try and fix it.

when I start a game of call of duty or something my controller auto aims and auto shoots and I don't even press the triggers which is weird but I tried this and it didn't work😢

What do I do or could I fix it if I had pressed down too hard and it damages the little rectangle that's the magnet touches ?

but sometimes it start shooting ato and never stops shooting

hi, could you tell me if this ( www.tvsat.com.pl/pdf/T/tle4913_inf.pdf ) would fit as replacement to my xb1 pad left trigger??

Okay I have an idea. I have two controllers. One of them has the same problem as everyone else, magnet came loose, got stuck to the sensor, fucked my controller. Then my other one just has the drifting analog stick problem. I've tried fixing it and it may just be something broke. I was thinking I could take the RT button off that controller and replace it with the broke one. That way I can use my controller without either problem, the drifting or the constant shooting. Only thing is, idk how to go about taking the RT off of the controllers.

hi, my controller is pressing itself on RT and LT, please help

I repaired the LT button, because it was broken and then it dont worked, no signal at all wihle pressing. The magnet was upside down, that fixed it Didnt knew that this changes anything

My controller don't look like that and only have 2 srews

still having the trigger issue on the right trigger. took it apart can't figure out the problem.

Thanks, I'll let you know if this saves my xbox one elite controller, subscribed.

good video, basically my controller is fucked

The rubber pad the catches the magnet is missing for my controller is that bad

I have a tensiometer Xbox one wired controller and apparently noone has ever had ANY issues with that trigger because NOONE has ever searched how to fix one and got an answer I've been scouring the internet for an hour and it just keeps recommending this video to me if anyone has a video explaining how these types of triggers work that would be great

what type of screwdriver

You say you dont know why they used hall effect and its stupid, you also said they break easy, and that you had trouble sourcing the part right? hmmm.

think im just gunna buy a mini controller it has xbox one d pad and 360 triggers

Can someone plzz help me cause my left trigger is stuck on aim but the trigger isn't stuck so it's just stuck on aim

Hall effect. Same as an ABS sensor on a car.

have to ask myself, what s my time worth

my Lt won't work because I try to shoot it doesn't shoot
