I bought this DualShock 3 at Goodwill for a few bucks. Dirty and sticky but all was well until I tested it. The right analog stick had stick drift. This ended up being an easier repair than I thought with no soldering skills required. Follow along as I replace the defective analog stick and bring this controller to it's former glory! Feel free to skip around with the chapters below. Video went a little longer than I anticipated!

Thank you for the guide and for providing a link to the replacement part! I successfully changed the analog sticks on my controller and the drifting problem is gone!

Hey buddy! Hope all is well! Thanks! I got lots more coming. Got a stack of crap sitting in my living room lol.

Never seen this one before. I doubt you'll find any 4-pin sticks drifting. Those are hall-effect. Sony probably replaced them with Alps potentiometers as a cost-cutting measure in later revisions, hence this oddity. The 3-pin ones by Alps have drifting issues exceedingly often. Just look at the modern DualShock 4, DualSense and Xbox Series controllers

We need some videos on soldering tips and tricks because I am aggressively average at best lol. Enjoy the videos man, very zen!

@titanrepairs Год назад

Thanks for the kind words! I generally sprinkle those kinds of tips and tricks into the videos since I try to shoot them as a hybrid of entertainment and how to. Though I classify my soldering skills at aggressively average as well hahaha. I'm editing a Game Gear video now you'll see those average skills at work 😂

@MrGlock55 Год назад

@titanrepairs, That's awesome as I just recently bought a game gear in need of recapping! Trust me, my soldering skills are non-existent, haha

@@MrGlock55 what's funny is the video I'm working on is recapping a Game Gear with my mediocre soldering skills 😂😂😂 Seriously though it's not a bad job. Time consuming yeah but you'll be fine 😁 But just be prepared that it is possible the screen may be dead too. You don't find that out until you recap. Which is also leading to another video I'm planning on shooting this week lol.

Nice video. I’ve never seen that model of controller with solderless analog sticks before. I guess the idea never caught on

@titanrepairs 4 месяца назад

Yeah. It was a surprise to me too. I've never seen it before. I wonder if they didn't keep up with it because it cost more to manufacture. Or maybe they did this as a test for future designs and it didn't pan out.

Model of my controller is CECHZC2E (black color and It was came with the PS3 slim console) and it's sticks are solderless.

Been watching a lot of video’s on PS3 controllers lately. Been looking at trying to find new OEM controllers or used OEM and fixing them up. This Motherboard looks quite a bit different than the other’s I’ve seen… Is this an OEM controller? And if so why does MOBO look so different?

@titanrepairs 29 дней назад

Yeah. It is an OEM controller. Through the generation there were quite a few revisions. Some minor and some more major. This video is a bit older so if I remember right this is a later revision (maybe the last revision?). I think it was the A2 version.
