Fixing Garage Sale Trash: Reconditioning a DualShock 3 to working order 

I picked this controller up a while ago at a garage sale. It was in pretty rough shape and probably would have been passed over (in fact I did show up late to the sale so I was picking over the remnants :) ). I got it for dirt cheap. The buttons felt mushy and the thumb stick was missing the rubber. It even looked well used. It also didn't hold a charge. But you know the adage, "one man's trash is another man's treasure". Come along as I recondition this controller to like new condition!
