Good video❤❤❤

what should i search to find the specific 18 pin connectors themselves,

What program are you using on your pc to test controllers?

Hi there! Do you think someone who is a beginner at repairing devices, who has zero soldering experience, could repair a PS2 controller? One of my controllers is model H and I am looking into buying some membranes for it. I think I will stick with the 43A, but I am curious as to how long you think it takes to repair a controller normally? Thank you very much for this informative video!

I prefer the old ps1 dual shift because the mother board is wood & they’re push buttons too.

Du coup le problème c'est la nappe des boutton !

How can I get the pad

awesome videos, i have learned a ton

Thanks for this great video. I searched for PS2 button repair because I started playing my PS2 now that I have a Retrotink 5k, but the D pad feels kind of hard to use and my thumb is sore. I'm not sure if it's the age of my 24 year old controller or if my old hands aren't used to the D-pad. Any advice?

Jesus Christ you need soldering and shit? Bro wtf. I bought a brand new in package controller and the left analog stick won't work. I took it apart, don't see anything out of the ordinary. Now I can't put it back together.

is it possible to solder on that white latched ribbon connector to the other pin connector location? Id imagine it should be fine. Ill try it myself once i can get my hands on a replacement part (but I dont know the component name) my motherboard has the 2 pins for securing it, though hot glue could work if the 2 side pins arent there.

I wonder if the extra pin goes to ground and the trace running around the unit is som sort of shield

Hi, can you say why you found the model 42A is not good and it needs to be the 43A ? FYI the ribbon in my H model, in the corner is a number 11 12 13 14 15 16, the other corner is 3B or 38. Thanks for all the video's explaining and helping us repair our stuff.

Can you tell me where to buy some controllers?

A SERIE 2 MODELS? JOYSTICK PS2

Perfekt! Es hat auf Anhieb geklappt. Sehr gut erklärt und bestens gezeigt. Danke 👍

I never found a singl H revision working, they are the worst garbage hahaha

This is good information the pads seems to deteriorate and the symptoms of all button non responsive are common I bought some cheap aftermarket ds2 and the sticks have massive dead zones and is way too sensitive and the shells are very thin and brittle too bad the genuine ones are so annoying to fix

It are videos like this that have most value to me! A PS2 controller fully explained! Also I like the fact that after the original connector gets replaced, all you need is to switch the plastic button PCB without soldering anymore...

Where are you mate? Your videos are so good, it's a shame not having you around anymore! I hope you're fine! Thanks a bunch for the amount of knowledge you've put out there !

huh film pad is not held by that black piece on my controller. just pushed onto the board when u close the controller. much like how the ps3 and 4 controller is. for whatever reason my l3 is not working as well :/

if you bridge both sides of one of the buttonstraces, the button should be on constantly unless the bridge is broken right? if so could you solder 2 small wires onto the 18 pin connector and connect them to another button, to make a paddle mod? normally people just use custom flex pcbs but there are none for ps2 and i know you wouldnt be able to easily modify one of these flex pcbs so i figure if you solder onto the actual connector maybe it would work

great video. Now its time to repair my pad's beybeee

How did he know that the ribbon connection is broken?

best video on the subject so far...nice and detailed !

Thank you a lot for this ❤

What heat gun do your use?

O único vídeo bem detalhado encontrado aqui no youtube. Parabéns

Some buttons still work so I've just cleaned the board. Next time I set up the PS2, we'll find out if it works.

PS2 Fat has 2 USB ports. I wonder if DS3 works?

Hey would you happen to have any of these as spare I could get my hands on?

Hi! What model/type of heat gun do you have?

Ordered 18 pin but... My controller board is very different. The pins are diagonal 9 holes top / 9 pins bottom so I'm not sure how to solder the new one. I should have not desoldered and better off just pulling out the ribbon maybe?

can i please have 2 ps2 controllers i subcribed

probably that trace that runs around the flat is a shield since it connects to the gnd on the pcb

I have two A models with different internals. Is that normal?

really detailed tutorial! i have a question, for which controller would the 42-A be used?? it is usually sold on the same "shop" on ali and they kinda look similar

Picked some of these replacement membranes up a while ago. Only started trying to fix a half dozen controllers today. What I'm finding is more often than not the R2/L2 buttons need way more pressure to activate than the original Sony membranes. No amount of trimming seems to help.

very helpful explenation. thanks

Great video, whats the electric screwdriver model you use ?

Qual o nome do programa mostrado no vídeo para testa o controle?

I have a brand new (old stock) PS2 controller that has been sitting in the box since I bought my PS2 slim. It was never even taken out of its plastic bag. Yet several buttons/d-pad directions don't work when I tried it recently. After doing some research I learned that the PS3 controllers also stop working due to sheer age. Really sucks that Sony didn't make their controllers more durable when you have much older NES controllers that still work perfectly fine. We can only hope that PS4 and PS5 controllers don't have the same issues as the PS2 and PS3 ones.

I don't think your ressistance theory is correct I have 2 controllers dissasembled 1 working 1 not and ressistance on both is over 19k ...

Love this video!! Could you recommend a reliable source you use to find parts like this for the ps2 controller parts? Also what is the name of the software you used to test the controller? That was awesome! Thank you so much again for this video!

I don't understand why the connector has to be removed? The cable just unplugs. Could you not just leave the old connector and slide the replacement ribbon straight in? Also it would be great to hear an explanation as to all the different types of controllers and which ribbons are compatible with which controllers. etc. Oh, ok. I just heard you are doing a full series of all the different controllers. Nice! Still not sure why you changed the connector. No flux?

20:00 Can't you use a conductive pen or something else to close the bridge of that space between start and square?

20:04 You can try to repair those bad parts. One way is to use pencil, until you get proper resistance. Another way is to solder SMD resistor.

Can you please show how to fix the wireless logitech ps2/xbox original controller pressure sensitive buttons?

I have an issue that i dont understand. I bought a refurbished ps2 controller from germany, it looks brand new but the only issue is that the X and O buttons arent pressure sensitive at all. The controller is completely clean, i open it up and nothing looks out of the ordinary. All of the buttons work fine except X and O and i cant figure out why
