In this video I restore a very dirty DualShock 2 controller I purchased from eBay. I tear the controller down, clean it, and replace defective parts. #RightToRepair #PlayStation #restoration
Beautiful, thanks for sharing, you gave me a brilliant idea, I didn’t realize the R2 buttons can be removed and had issues putting it together, after watching this video I followed your steps and it works like a charm, thank you so much!!
Yesterday I found a PS2 controller hanging from a tree, picked it up and took it home. I don't have a PS2 unfortunately, but I have a PC that I can connect, I'm just missing a part that allows the controller to insert into the USB port
@@RestorationRelaxation I was glad to have discovered you in Reddit this morning with the purple PlayStation controller repair comments. Very helpful videos, especially solder removal. Keep up the great work.
Deadass, I watched other videos, and they always skip that part, probably because they were putting the buttons on before assembling the mold and trying the put the mold together with the buttons messing up the position of the ribbon that reads the Triggers like me. When I saw this part I was like "what??? They can just go in like that? That's way easier" doing it the other way is like defusing a bomb
hi, could you tell me if the analog sticks, or rather the mechanism that must be desoldered and then soldered, is the same as the dualshock 1 PsOne? Thank you
It means that controller Is not complete with that game. You're probably using a ps 1 controller anolog version which is compatible for games that don't require pressure sensitive buttons
this makes me dislike playstation stuff more. for some reason, sony develops stuff in the worst way possible so you can't replace anything or take anything apart. I can't fix the controller pins in my playstation 2 because it is hardwired into the motherboard so you can't fix them.
@@zadock6370 controllers are a good place to start. if u watch tutorials online its easy to find. I started from the same and now im doing basic stuff like changing old analog sticks and repairing broken cables on my motors.
