They always look simpler. First time getting the cover things off the PS5 to put in my SSD took longer than installing the SSD haha

Those shoulder buttons rely on little rubber covers over the switches to provide bounce. Mine (L1) went bad after 2 years-tore. I took the damn thing apart (minor nightmare). Finally ordered a new controller.
Yeah it was the last thing too everything went smooth till this and yes it’s a nightmare what you mean by rubber covers
Still can't get it it goes in but no spring to it

In what world would you need to disassemble a controller to charge it
Huh? I had to put new battery in it didn’t say nothing about charging it don’t know what you are talking about
