I followed that video guide, it was really helpful, just try and be delicate with the ribbon cables and wires, although some slight force was needed when trying to pry open the controller at the start. |
Just ordered this kit to see if I can fix mine.
Is your fix still working?

Hi SnoopZ, one of the controllers I did has returned to having stick drift, but the other one is still working fine. Looks like I'll have to get the solder out.

That's what I want to avoid, I've since bought 2 controllers so if I can't fix the 3rd without solder I may see if I can use the warranty from the other black controller and be naughty, just need to figure out if there is a serial number that is different but I can't see one on the outside or on the box.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Woke up this morning to a leak from the roof above the bathroom. Cant see where its coming from but I have taken the light fitting down and taped up the wires. Waiting on a roofer to give me a callback/visit.
I will need to fix the ceiling tho.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Can not be bothered , give away, surprising what people will take , good luck to them. Buy new . Life's to short to even try, change a fuse is as far as I go.

My overheating CPU
13700K known to run hot but when installed it would power throttle around 180 watts and 99 degrees but because it worked fine I just CBA to mess any further at the time.
Decided to reseat the cooler with some good old Artic MX 4 today 12 degrees lower idle and now can push it to 5.3GHZ on 200watts and 85 degrees. Wish I had bothered earlier now hahaha
