Faulty Razer Kishi | It could have been an easy fix...

Quick video on my Razer Kishi that developed a fault on the Left analogue stick.
I probably should have done more basic problem solving before going down the route I went! O well...

Dude you’re a surgeon of Electronic! Fantastic job! I’m sorry you didn’t read earlier a post on Reddit saying right away that it was the 14pin cable, you would have saved all the time and stress to remove the thumb stick. I’m going to order right away a flat cable for mine with the same exact problem but razer should ashamed! They should call back from the market these faulty product and refund customers. Shameful!

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Thanks, I'm annoyed too! After reading up it seems like it is a common issue which I can see why with a folding ribbon cable, might need to look at a different controller for when this breaks again!

[@insideeffect6964]

Mines done the same. Unfortunately folding designs like this are prone to ribbon failure as ribbon cables arent what i would call a hard wearing cable. They are brittle and they expect constant folding and stretching of the cable is going to be okay. Got a cable on the way as Not sure if its just me but that cable is stupidly thin even for a ribbon cable. Legit thinner than a fall leaf 😂​@fixingmoddingbuilding

Okay is it 14 pin or 15 pin because the Amazon listing you show says 15, but your txt on screen says 14

[@gustavovieira8043]

I just opened mine. its a 14-pin cable.

I need help with the left trigger on the razer kishi

[@insideeffect6964]

If you can't press it down and you've taken it apart make sure the stopper isn't protruding outside the device. If it just doesn't work but the rest does. Maybe your trigger module has gone bad.

[@QkiZMonsteR]

How long cable did you use?

[@deathwish374]

My sticks work but the left one squeeks, same happens with the triggers ...I think it's a bit dusty on the inside ...how do I clean it?

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Open it up, I would use a bit of isopropyl to clean the inside

[@PissenlitJoestar]

Great like always

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

Thanks, I did more then needed but hopefully it helps someone else in the future!

[@projjwaldhar]

Super helpful thanks. Kishi v1 is still my favourite telescopic despite the newer ones. So compact and best sticks and crisp buttons.

Can you please drop a link to your other channel too? The link in bio is broken.

[@alnokencanaputra1253]

Hey there! I have the same problem too. I wanna ask bout the ribbon, what kind of the ribbon cable should i buy? Because here in Indonesian local online marketplace, i found 2 different type of that. It says there's are One-way cable and reversible cables. So Which one should i buy?

[@insideeffect6964]

From what I saw online the cable is 14pin 0.5 pitch. Length should be 28-30 cm apparently

[@insideeffect6964]

Called. Flex ribbon cable

[@PunkieDudie]

How were you able to remove the left shell? Mine is completely shut, as if it was glued. (Yes the screws are off, but it seems it won’t open.) Please help my left bumper has been broken for the last 5 months!! 😭😭

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

No glue on mine? I would say double check you haven't missed a screw that's keeping it all together?

[@PunkieDudie]

⁠@@fixingmoddingbuilding Sorry my bad, I meant it as a phrasing but it just feels that way. But yes, I’ve removed all the screws and it feels like I’m going to crack the shell if I attempt to lift it off (Edit: I could open it an hour later and fix my bumper. The case was just stubborn to open)

[@insideeffect6964]

​@@PunkieDudieit is a bit difficult to open. If you carefully pry it should pop open.

[@insideeffect6964]

After the screws are out ofc

[@PunkieDudie]

@@insideeffect6964 Thank you a lot for the help! It was a pain to open at the time, I was really surprised by that, but yes, thank you once again!

[@AlexanderSandoval-r5l]

Can you please share the amazon linm

My left stick is drifting downwards

[@fixingmoddingbuilding]

I would think that is stick drift then?

[@insideeffect6964]

Stick drift. Basically means the potentiometer for the stick is either needs calibration or is faulty and is aiming downwards. I'd try using a bit of isopropyl in the stick (not take apart and take stick cap off
