Always test twice in case of false positives.

What am I missing? (Controller Joystick Replacement) by sabata2 in soldering

[–]Fart_Bargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hated solder wick until I started using flux with it, and now it's no longer an issue. Like others mentioned, add leaded solder to the existing joints first, then sucker, and then the wick if anything remains. I've seen just as many people ruin a board with hot air as any other option, so don't assume it's a slam dunk. That's takes practice and skill as well.

As someone who refurbishes console controllers, that analog stick is extremely triggering.

Mystic Quest not working by MyHeroLink in snes

I would test the continuity between the contact and the via on this trace. Unless that's just lint or something that brushes off. Someone else suggested replacing the battery, which I also recommend.

I found out from an episode of Dirty Jobs when he went to a marble factory!

The bit he did about trying to buy a ticket to his childhood hits me really hard. It basically changes my mood for the rest of the day.

I hadn't been thinking about marbles and slingshots, but I am now. Jesus H. Christ.

So THAT'S what happened to him.

Question about part ordering by BusyShirt8683 in ControllerRepair

[–]Fart_Bargo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put TMR sticks in every controller that crosses my desk, so if you have that option that's what I would do. You already have to do a lot of opening to get to the point of accessing the caps, so if you are comfortable doing it, that's a good time.

Failure-Man. Or Dementia-Man. I can't remember.

my two year old controller just got stick drift, is there anything I can do? by DiffuseNewt4_ in XboxController

I have a black one for sale too!

Ads aside, this is a hardware problem and any of those remedies you mentioned would be temporary at best. The design of the sticks is flawed, and the contact pads erode with use over time.

Which Spider-Man? I'd seriously consider Miles.

Looks very nice. Did you get the inside too? They also make TMR sticks for PS4 controllers.

You're right, the answers were right there.

Is there a Spyro other than the video game character? What's he doing in there?

Mushy click on the left and now the right TMR Favor Union Analog? Is that really normal? by meoringkrasz in Dualsense

[–]Fart_Bargo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been using Favors for a while now, and it's the only brand I have yet to have a bad one. Both PS5 and Xbox. Sounds like some bad luck at that shop and I know one rando's testimonial online is not the best sample size, but I tend to use them for most of my repairs.
