[@lorenzozarri8418]

Thank you very much, your tutorial is crystal clear, and I was lucky because the broken spring was R2 😂

[@carterhicks4597]

This was very helpful thank you 😊

[@Peter-gz3we]

Thanks for the instructions! It was done in a way that was very approachable. I don't think the adaptive triggers is necessarily a quality issue, the spring is a mechanical part and will definitely wear out under tension. It's nice that the right trigger was easy to do, not looking forward to having to do the left ever

[@Ancalagon001]

Awesome video my controller is now fixed!

[@rhyswilliams9234]

Awesome video

[@SimpleBitStudios]

I have some issues with my R2 auto shooting, so i tried opening it up to see if it looked ok and the spring was still in place. So i think its the resistance thats broken. It works fine now i think, it just makes a small mechanical squeak when i press it though

[@sirbread8260]

thank you for helping me, you have nice hands ;)

[@oken6325]

Thanks for the video. Mine's the R2-trigger. Thank god.

[@Cyber4499]

[@lifestudent6744]

[@maxzones4288]

[@ChromeKid786]

Thanks bro this helped i just had to blow in my R2 button was making some dogy noise 😊

[@renatomendoncaYT]

Thanks for the help.

[@user-jl9yx2zs5u]

Just broke my controller pieve nice.

[@RACEGT7]

Yes, proudly when I did this. 💪

[@19822andy]

My R2 trigger is feeling softer than my other triggers on my controllers. I thought it may be a spring issue so I'm definitely going to try this technique. Im hoping it's not a dual sense motor problem

[@teriyaki6719]

Thank you so much!

[@RaghuSingh-lu7fj]

Nice trick my friend.

[@Sergiovs12]

Used one from my ps4 controller and worked . Its about 80 percent of the original strength can't really tell the difference if i didnt know

[@Larsgman]

Thanks for the tutorial. Instant sub!

[@tobsennn87]

Thanks for that! Worked like a charm :-)

[@SoushinSen]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

[@zerafasilvan]

Very helpful😊👍

[@mangaas]

Good to know these controllers keep getting more and more expensive with each console generation,, and have a year lifespan.

[@kapkancx5935]

Mine broke after month

[@gabrielbento5527]

Wish it was a year. The right trigger spring snapped after a couple of weeks of use.

[@monke3659]

Mine broke on ghe day i got it

[@cringee21]

i think i should start reading books instead

[@lukestephen2496]

My ps5 controller came broken. It’s a joke

[@methylenedioxymethamphetame]

tore the ribbon connector trying to pull it out with my fingers. thanks.

[@henriquemeirelles8984]

This video is straight to the point, spot on with instructions and the difficulty regarding certain steps and it most certainly helped me fix my broken triggers! Overall, really really helpful! I’d just like to point out it would be nice to add a list of all the tools required for this fix st the start of the video… Thank you so much, sir!

[@EmperorOfMan]

Worked great! What did people do before youtube tutorials?

[@miraichampion3366]

Just saved me £60 my dude. Thank you so much

[@TheAbouncer]

Thankyou fixed both controllers within 30 min🙏🏼

[@gruntreaper]

Thanks fam

[@PinkFluffyCrazyUnicorn]

Thats it? Because of this i wanted to buy a new controller? Thank You man!

[@CraigLewis]

An absolutely helpful and very detailed instruction video, I was able to fix mine pretty easily, this helped me avoid taking the easy but expensive route 😂 it would be easy to discard a broken controller, send it off for repair or buy another one, this is by far the best economical solution, thanks for your efforts.

[@funglam7395]

Legend. Saved my sanity and money ❤

[@PedroRodriguez-io6de]

The tip about the tape to keep the spring in place worked wonders, thank you for the great video

[@dylanjones373]

Thank you so much for this video it’s saved me from spending £70 for a new controller!

[@alistairdempsey6734]

I managed to replace the spring on L2, but I believe I damaged my ribbon cable in the process. Neither L1 or L2 are responsive now. I believed it would be better to use the precision tweezers to remove and replace it and I suspect I damaged it when the tweezers slipped. I should have just pulled them out with my fingers as you suggested. Thanks for the video. Very well explained. Edit: After replacing the ribbon cable, controller is as good as new!

[@dreamssr6565]

Thanks! Worked perfectly fine

[@aaelon]

Worked a treat thanks :) infact one of pads didn't even have a spring

[@lonelymunchaus]

Worked great. Replaced both and they're like new again. Thanks so much.

[@DhalonTech]

What about the mini springs on the other side?

[@andrewbond8319]

Thank you, sir! Your solution worked perfectly after our R2 button quit working. Sure enough it was a broken spring. Amazon came thru with next day delivery of the part you recommended and in less than 24 hours the controller was fixed! Videos like this are what make KZbin great!

[@TimeLords910]

i was watching your tutorial my spring for the r2 button is completely broken and flew off i enjoyed this video and will follow the instructions again once i replace it

[@CastIronGinger]

Thank you so much you are so awesome and helpful man! The spring was missing like you said, and I didn’t even use tape at all just held the spring with my finger and forced the other pc around with tweezers but they sure are so small and hard to deal with, great instructions with visuals!

[@jimboro7]

Thanks so much for this, what i thought was going to be a £29 fix, became a £1.39 and 5 minutes of my time! Luckily already had small screwdrivers and prying tools lying around

[@ThreeLeftyz]

Thank you ! I had a jammed r2 button and I didn’t know how to take this controller apart. I fixed it ❤

[@KidDynamite93]

Thanks. Had to come back and watch this. 2nd time the spring break on me already. Luckily, I bought a bulk of 30 springs.

[@danieleliserio4217]

The tape trick with the spring was clutch. Much appreciated for the video!!

[@spinachpies]

Thanks for this condensed video of how to do this. I don't know why the others are so long.

[@ImTrans-Former]

Glad they made the R2 spring easier to replace.

[@neo6289]

The original spring fell apart in my hand when I took it out thanks sony. But I replaced my R2 spring now feels mugh better thanks!

[@rchan09]

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU FIXED MY CONTROLLER!!

[@Wrathicuz]

Thank you very much for the tutorial! I unfortunately had to replace the left spring and opted to not take apart further like you did. It was a PAIN but it could be done, cheers!

[@Idkbruh32324]

Thank you so much nobody went as thorough as you

[@AntRocker]

Bro thank you for your detailed tear down, I dropped my controller and the left trigger spring slipped out and wasn’t returning the trigger completely forward, I was able to assess the issue and fixed it.

[@Gilliboy]

Thanks in advance. My R2 is loose since yesterday. I ordered replacements. Hopfully i can do it

[@Gilliboy]

Worked out wonderfully. Thank you !

[@Woud_]

Thank you for this! I've never had controllers wear this fast, but I hear some loose piece when I shake the controller. Ofcourse it R2 and it's one of the button that gets used the most. Now I'm gonna order some springs! Thanks again!

[@sonichallbartender]

Worked a charm. Took me 30 minutes. Saved me $70. Lifelong subscriber now. Thanks.

[@3rDegreeBernz]

My L2 has been weird straight out of the box. It feels like a double action trigger and it sounds like something is loose inside of it.

[@williamruiz5308]

Great video man just replaced my R2 trigger very easily. Very easy to follow your instructions. Much appreciated!!

[@RicronjunRick]

Thank you Interesting how R2 and L2 have their springs placed in different orientation. R2 was made easy, not so much L2. Thank you for pointing that out.

[@ashwintomer1179]

Once you do all this Sony will give you an electrical engineering degree

[@DavidHunter]

I have a launch controller and a white one and now both have the failed right trigger. Rather annoying but it seems easy and cheap enough to fix. Thankfully my L2 triggers are fine because screw that.. Great video. To the point and detailed! Thank you.

[@tomdice3332]

Repair shop said it was gonna be $60 to fix since they need a "special part" lol. Spent $6 on amazon for some replacement springs instead. Excellent video. Many thanks

[@ethanproven2011]

At that right you may as well buy a new controller 😂

[@ToniTran]

saved me 60 bucks

[@tokentoker2392]

Thanks... Great video angles to show how spring sits on the notches

[@HowToX]

Thanks. I feel visuals are important when teaching repairs on tiny things.

[@ortolaza91]

So the PS4 JDS-030/040 springs look just like the PS5 springs...are they identical? 🤔

[@adam_tharwynn_profus]

oh dude, i was struggling with l2 spring for 3 hours, nobody on youtube went your way and your video helped me alot i was like 10mins from throwing the controller out of window xD

[@HowToX]

Glad it helped.

[@almostmullen07]

same, did this a few months ago, bought a 30 pack replacement, probably lost 10 doing it. i wish i knew about this way.

[@heroito]

The tape trick is awesome!!! worked for me and changed this spring in just a few seconds!!! Thanks a lot!!

[@ligabb]

Many thanks for this video!! Successfully replaced spring in right trigger!

[@Jonasofzo]

I borrowed a ps5 from a friend for a few months and the spring is probably broken too cause the force feedback is so weak

[@denisucuuu]

Nothing wrong with my spring; simply disassembling seemed to clear all the problems. Tested it and my trigger works just fine. Thank you for the amazing detailed explanation and imagery!!!

[@fatherkarl9291]

Thx will try

[@teamexshadowlive6048]

⁠@@fatherkarl9291see

[@Soupus__]

Same for me it was really weird

[@breakaway4236]

Thanks a lot for the detailed tutorial on how to take everything apart for the L2 spring! I couldn't manage to replace the spring with all parts attached.

[@dontgoglove]

Thank you for making this video! It helped me successfully replace my trigger spring

[@danielalvarado6449]

Just replaced the spring on my L2. I took my time on it but managed to get it done. Thank you so much!

[@MegaVault13]

Nice work here! I used this to fix a controller with R2 spring crush and I feel confident that I can now do this teardown pretty efficiently. I have already fixed a second DualSense in less than 10 minutes. You are a legend, sir!

[@ferrel2008]

Thank you very much! I was about to buy another controller but I followed along with your video and now I'm good 😁.

[@franklingrendon9350]

Very helpful video Altho the solution to my problem was just to turn off the Trigger Effect Sensitivity

[@timf1497]

Thanks man i thought my R2 Spring was broken but i checked it with the help of your video within a few minutes and its completely normal

[@nicolas.1882]

Omg, you're actually a genius! Thanks so much!!

[@KUSH-HUSTLA-760]

Great video ! Used the spring from my old ps4 controller worked like a charm 👌

[@SufringDuckie505]

Help me so much. Thank you for posting this!

[@redpinguin777]

Thank you very much for your video. It was very easy to follow.

[@HowToX]

You are very welcome.

[@Tyranniod]

Really helpful video. You've just saved me £30 on repairs.

[@kamellegomez3741]

My triggers or rl1 won’t push in

[@rahul875]

How to repair steam deck R2 button plz make video

[@stevie-c1471]

Thank you so so much for this. Watched several videos on how to do this, and yours was in a different league to the rest. Much appreciated!

[@Pbaddy]

Legend ,great tutorial . L2 spring replacement.

[@TanayaF]

Thank you for creating this easy-to-follow video tutorial! Thanks to you, I was able to replace my broken R2 trigger spring with no issues. Works good as new now!

[@coltongargis]

This is terrible it’s not working

[@xxBlackpspxx]

My left adaptive trigger doesn't have any active resistance anymore in games etc. But when the controller is turned off they both feel exactly the same, or in the menu or whatever

[@nathanharrison5988]

Thanks so much for posting this - you've saved me a fair chunk of cash as I was close to buying a new one! I'm not good at taking things apart and fixing them but your video was succinct, clear and reassuring at every step. Thank you!

[@enesyagiz9828]

The plastic Connection was broken , new controller on the way

[@Closebakkdoor]

Isn’t P000 screwdriver the Philips or no

[@nandoren]

Thanks for the video man! I was able to replace the spring with the one in my dualshock 4 and it worked just fine. That said, it seems less sturdy, but its a very good temporary solution.

[@teddyishere08]

i still feel pressure on my trigger but yet its like its being held down when its not in call of duty it just fires non stop but i still feel the pressure on the controller

[@Jehomeister]

Will this fix my dualsense adaptive trigger basically not working? My R2's adaptive feel works, however, the L2 one is adaptive is literally no existent.

[@Bjsturg]

This was great! Controller springs fixed thanks to your guidance! Those ribbon wires are so stressful to reinsert lol

[@madmomo2488]

Thanks for the amazing tutorial, i needed to remove everything to do the L2 spring replace and followed you step by step successfully, so thanks! Little problem though. The ribbon for the speaker. Once i removed it the little square rubber on top of it (the thing with the hole it it) was removed and i cant seem to put it back in place. Is it important?/ how to put it back in? Edit: nvm i figured it out. Just incase someone had the same issue. The square rubber itself can be opened (hard to explain how but it becomes like an open-mouth pac-man) which you then make it bite through the end part of the speaker ribbon and put back in its square hole.
