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!

you will have to watch the videos, the length of the videos, shows you how long it takes and all the steps, if you think you can do the same, then yes.

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?

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.

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.

@Yeetboii11 ай бұрын
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

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.

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.
@restartrepairs4393 Жыл бұрын
I have bad new for you, as you pointed out with the PS3 controllers just stopped working even if you do not use it due to age, the same happens to the PS4 and PS5, I actually fix pretty much everything retro, I just never upload the vids, but I can tell for after fixing several thousands Sony controllers, that is an issue, however, is most cases you can fix it by cleaning the controller ribbon where it connects to the board and that fixed the issue on the PS3, PS$ and PS5's

Well there's only so much you can do when your buttons are pressure sensitive (which both PS2 and PS3 have). The buttons on the NES controllers and the like are simply on or off, they don't have to worry about resistance changing because all you're doing is jumping connections together.

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?
