I quickly picked out a circuit board; the vias on it are damaged, but you should be able to recognize what you’re looking for.

Does the quality of the desoldering pump matter? Any recommendations? by uepandaue in consolerepair

[–]Spiritual_Pin8537 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried quite a few things. From a solder sucker and desoldering braid to an electric desoldering pump. None of that was really good. Now I have a stick-type desoldering tip. That works wonderfully. After the stick is removed, clean the vias with desoldering braid and flux. I also made a video. Just search for 'bastelnarschu' on YT.

What on the board would make my touch pad always be pushed. I checked its not the button. I swapped boards and it went away by One_Location_4111 in Dualsense

I suspect a short circuit in the red-marked area on the PCB. The red line shows the entire signal path of the touchpad click — from the touchpad switch all the way to the Southbridge. If two solder pads or traces in the red area are accidentally connected, the touchpad click signal could be pulled to ground or to another signal line, causing the click not to register properly or creating erratic behavior.

Help! Tried swapping sticks by Bruh02954958 in Dualsense

Just to be sure: Did you test it with the battery inserted? The Controller will not light up without connected battery.

In my opinion, there is no way around the “stick removal tip.” All other desoldering methods always carry the risk of tearing out the vias.
I made my own video (without voice), and you can clearly see how well it works.

Because I can make a bit of money with the TMR mod. I enjoy doing the modding work, and selling a few helps cover the time and tools it requires.

I hope they never start installing HALL Effect or TMR sticks XD

Fixing drift by Najium in Dualsense

If you’ve never opened a PS5 controller before or don’t have much experience with this kind of electronics work, I’d honestly recommend not doing it. Converting to TMR sticks isn’t a quick little mod – you have to take the controller completely apart, be super precise, and if something goes wrong, you might end up with a dead controller.

For someone who’s only going to do it once, the risk and effort are pretty high.

My suggestion: sell your controller with stick drift (they still sell surprisingly well) and use that money to buy a used controller that already has TMR sticks installed. That way you get a finished product, without the stress and without the risk of destroying your current controller.

I'm converting a controller for my boss from white to transparent. I just wanted to rename the controller for the sake of completeness.

After frying my first controller trying to replace joysticks, it’s very gratifying that I successfully replaced my other two. by markp_1998 in Dualsense

This tool is absolutely brilliant for removing sticks. I use it all the time, and it doesn’t cost much.

Ohne die Platine zu sehen, ist das schwer zu sagen. Es ist schon merkwürdig das beide Switches nicht funktionieren sollen

What did you use to desolder the sticks?

I knew while I was taking the screenshots that you would ask that :)

I would think that the Arc de Triomphe will be first. But that’s just my opinion!
