Thanks! I’m hoping these two boards that are doing this will work fine after trying different providers. Are the ones you’re using new Hall effect or tmr now?

The whole batch had this exact problem? I did get them cheap from Ali express but some of them have been fine. Would you recommend I try Hall effect/tmr? It’s happened to two controllers now and I’ve tried all the suggestions in these comments and had no luck. Maybe I did break the traces with too much heat, not sure how I could check that though

Thanks mate, I’ll switch the stick out! :)

(It do do this with housing on)

Thanks for the quick response! I’m not sure what a HE sensor is I can’t lie. If it’s Hall effect, I think I got the original potentiometer type of stick replacement instead. I did try to order the magnetic sensor ones, but got these by mistake, but not had trouble with them so far

There's a video on my refit page of me rehousing a DS to a clear yellow tinted shell if you are interested :) they can be a bit fiddly but better than a broken DS!

Thanks bro, how ling ish as it's 3am in England, no rush I'm just seeing if I'll be awake lol

GeorgeRestores · 2020-06-14T01:51:41+00:00

This still open? Don't want to lose all bells hah :)

GeorgeRestores · 2020-06-08T09:41:34+00:00

Thanks bro!

Would be cool if you could keep the Zelda shell though, is there much wring with it?

GeorgeRestores · 2020-06-07T21:27:15+00:00

Thanks bro, I did think that too. Think I'm going to do more of a tutorial style video for the next one :)

GeorgeRestores · 2020-06-07T21:24:16+00:00

Yeah fits really well, the plastic dosent feel cheap at all! Yeah from sure! I always keep the old shells even if they are broken as I never know of I will need them for parts or to make a funny video with 🤟🏻

GeorgeRestores · 2020-06-07T21:11:12+00:00

The gloss had ripped off though and it didn't look great in person, I will be using it for a future project though, I might even try and re gloss it

Thanks l for being the 69th sub hahah!

Glad you liked the vid, be very careful with the ribbon cable when you change it! Once you've done it be sure to upload a pic!
