wow this is the easiest way i found..i thought i had to change the whole joystick. needed a heatgun and all that. this is actually much easier to just change the potentiometer. thank you!

[@DIYVidss]

That’s right… we just do it without heatgun. Thanks for your attention ❤️😄

[@SETtheTONE.]

I replaced the sliders inside for my right joystick & it worked perfectly. This was the first video I watched on the drifting problem so I had to leave a comment.

[@DIYVidss]

Thanks for your attention 🌸🌟

Start with just cleaning the potetiometer with alcohol or electronic cleaner. The black rings on the green part and just change the white wipers. No soldering needed and works 85 percent of the time. Nice video. The method in video will work best if you have had the controller a long time and are hard on the sticks.

[@wishingW3L]

opening up the DS4 was so easy and putting it back too but this one seem like a lot of things could go wrong.

[@lesterbruke8166]

Use flux and a copper braid to remove any remaining solder from the contacts. Always use flux when soldering, wetting and surface tension. You can also check the resistance of the potentiometers before installation. And please, clean the soldering iron tip.

[@DIYVidss]

Thanks for your advice 👍🏻🌸

Hello..You play DMZ call of duty with ps5 controller.. I can’t play the game show me the controller of Xbox buttons to play

[@Karolina-ls5xl]

Can you SEND program the base tools?

[@zukesnukem1723]

Which cable is the one you took out on 2:43? I accidentally ripped that one and need to look for a replacement online

[@DIYVidss]

Two bottom side are two mics cables… both sides are triggers … up side is for touch pad.

[@vangoghskye]

Just take the little round thing out of the green thing and clean both things. Worked for me. I used rubbing alchohol and qtips.

[@vangoghskye]

And I pried it apart with a guitar pick.

[@DIYVidss]

Yes… sometimes it works… thanks for your advice 👍🏻🌸

Hey can you help please i changed the sensor while ps5 was in rest mode added a ps4 sensor that white thing but while i pluged the battery got a orange light blink later when i put the cover and everything together still the orange light blinked when i pressed the ps button later found out ps4 sensor are different so that might be the issue so restored back old sensor still facing the orange light issue. Tried resetting by pin from back of the controller still just gives orange light any idea whats wrong

[@DIYVidss]

Ps4 stick and ps5 stick are the same in controller board … that could not cause a problem. Maybe other sockets are not properly fixed on the controller board.

[@rajasnawar8545]

[@talalfaisal731]

​@rajasnawar8545 do you fix your problem?

[@TheDARKNESS8030]

What temperature did you have it to desolder? I tried today and could not get it it to separate

[@DIYVidss]

It’s 60w soldering iron … it doesn’t designate the temperature.

OR JUST GRAB HALL EFFECT STICK BOXES. WHY SOLDER IF ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

good video 👍 😁😊 🇩🇴

[@pepstriebeck1163]

The orange ones have a different electrical resistance than the green ones. They are not interchangeable! This will usually lead to very high sensitivity. Have you checked the difference?

[@DIYVidss]

You have to change the whole stick if you want to replace an orange one. It works properly and good without difference. It may survive more than usual one.

[@pepstriebeck1163]

@@DIYVidss You're right. It works when you change the whole unit and not just the sensor part . I could have been more specific in my comment.

I wanna do this but i’m so terrified of soldering. Especially when it comes down to the black and red wires.. the soldering of the pot looks fairly simple though

Yes it could be hard for first time 😁

Can you please fix my ps5 controller? The problem is stick dtift and i have no idea what to do

[@DIYVidss]

This video shows the absolute solution for this issue… the first try is cleaning the inside sticks with tuner spray and if it doesn’t work you have to change the stick on the ps5 controller board.

[@OTOOLE_MUSIC69]

@@DIYVidss I dont know how tho

[@kido3607]

⁠@@DIYVidssdo you have a link to the stick module

I opend it took out both "discs" and replaced them with those from old dualshock 4.

[@DIYVidss]

Yea … it works 👍🏻

[@stolentext9436]

My potentiometer is damaged, i cleaned it and it was a pretty good temporary fix. But i think ill order a solder tool and more potentiometers and joysticks. Soldering seems like a usefull skill to have.

[@DIYVidss]

Yes exactly… 👍🏻🌟

[@yyyrrrr4221]

Where I can find like your tools

[@DIYVidss]

From amazon or ali express 😀😀

[@didiekrudianto8630]

The analog joystick is still the same as the previous version, it is easily damaged, with a more complicated machine board, it is even more difficult to replace it, for some reason Sony doesn't make the analog one easily removable, even though I hope it is replaced with a socket model

[@DIYVidss]

Thanks for your attention 🌟

[@jerryfinger1967]

Ok so I did all of this and my right analog stick instead of drifting to the left now it just goes straight up and doesn’t stop, I can move sideways but not up and down at all it just goes up 😩😭 someone help me please

[@DIYVidss]

Change it again… unfortunately most sticks in shops are not work properly 😕

[@chumpacena]

no youre wrong

[@tylerbecker4147]

I don't own a PS5 since I'm a Xbox player but opening a PS5 controller looks way more harder than opening a Xbox controller. This is why I prefer to not have a built in battery pack over either the choice of batteries or a interchangeable battery pack.

Idea: Could you give a fair price range for each repair that you do? That way, we (the ignorant) have a better better idea of someone giving us a fair shake.

We should never need to fix this. It's Sony that needs to fix it. Few of us aren't tech minded. Need to fork out for at least £35 to get it fix but aren't garrenteed either . I'm n uk

This required much patience that i dont have...so nah...if i have my ds5 broken,then i just send it for the guy who know how to fix it or i just buy the new one😂

[@bradley7506]

Nope, I’m not going to do that, I don’t trust myself to not screw it up. Going to just buy a new controller whenever I get stick drift.

pls buy soldering iron and flux paste😂😂

[@attilatarjanyi5402]

Legit solution, horrible execution. If you do that you will definitely destroy one of the vias. The correct method would be either leave the green part on and just change the moving parts, or use solder wick or a solder sucker to remove the solder, in that way the pcb will not be damaged.

[@DIYVidss]

Yes exactly 👍🏻🌟

Incredible this s**t from sony...50% of dualsense or more with drift...i have 5 dualsense and 4 of them are with this problem

Yes… most ps5 controllers have this problem and it causes after less than 6 months usage…

Good fucking lord the piece is hard to get to… if you don’t have the soldering tool, it is practically cheaper to buy a new controller 🤷🏼🤷🏼🤷🏼

This controller is an over-designed pos... to spend that much money for something so small to go wrong is a terrible customer service issue - the Xbox controller has the same issue, but accessing the components can be done in about 3 steps without the need to put the entire controller at risk
