For everyone asking about reassembly, Just look up my Custom Controller videos. Reassembly is in those videos.

[@Kazpper88]

I BOUGHT A PS4 FROM A PAWNSHOP AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER SPILT SODA OR SOMETHING ON IT IT WORKS ITS JUST THE SHARE BUTTON AND THE BOTTOM LEFT BIG BUTTON AND THAT'S ANNOYING BECAUSE I HAVE TO USE THAT BUTTON I REALLY DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT ALL APART AS I SEE HOW ITS DONE JUST TO CLEAN THAT BIG ASS BUTTON.

[@thatbirdguy9845]

Bro I know it's been 5 years why is it so hard to unscrew the screws I've only gotten two and I've been trying for 30 minutes

[@proxetic]

​@@thatbirdguy9845they're so small like wtf

[@albertobernal2537]

@@thatbirdguy9845 3 months too late, but yeah, you need an electronic screwdriver set or a shitty ratchet precision screwdriver like mine. Point is that the 4 grooves of the Philips format are less than half a milimeter OR 1/3 of 1/16th of an inch in thickness. Just tiny as hell, so a larger screwdriver will theoretically work because the opening of the grooves is > 0.5 mm (on top), but that's a shallow contact depth and so your screwdriver prolly just blunted the grooves at the top section and then only very fine screwdrivers can get these remaining screws out.

[@PongzeLor]

I was recommended this video and it helped a lot! I spilled some milk tea on my controller and it got slightly sticky so I ended up following this video and managed to stress free dismantle, clean, and restore my ps4 controller. I then went and fixed my older controller that was ruined and forgotten after I spilled beer on it and managed to restore it even better than my current one after some deep cleaning. I didnt know how to remove the L1 button but after taking your advice, I just tried harder and it popped out lol. Got a good cleaning done and the only issues I had was I dropped a screw onto a carpet floor when putting things back together. Now I have two fully functioning controllers instead of one. Thanks so much! :D

[@TDSpice]

You sure love wasting stuff😂

[@PongzeLor]

Nah I'm just a pathological spiller.

[@marks8437]

Thanks, I had a loose USB port and your video helped me get the controller open without damaging it. Then all I needed to do is gently squeeze the metal frame of the port using parallel pliers to give it a snug fit again. Works great!. I had stepped on the charging cable while it was in the controller and the plug managed to pry the metal plates of the port wider and the plug wouldn't stay in, this solved that! Now I have a very nice click when I put the plug in and it firmly holds the plug in place.

[@bottleneck69]

Thank you very much for this video. Saved me 65 bucks! Threw my controller ONE TIME (first time since I was a kid) and it messed up the left stick. Basically, it had indented the plastic post to where it was harder to press down. Just shaved a little bit off the post where it was sticking, and it’s like new. Thanks again!

I bought a new one but decided to customize it. I put custom buttons and different plates on it to give some cool style and I really needed this video.

Great video, very clear, very concise. Needed to dig into my dualshocks guts a bit to figure out what was causing me to have deadzone issues but, seeing as how I'm not a mongoloid, I didn't wanna go accidentally breaking something cause I don't know what I'm doing. This video was a great help. Unfortunately I had to use a little more force than I'd like to get the casing off and ended up snapping a tiny tiny itty bitty little facet. Knowing my luck it's probably the most important part too. Anyway thanks for such a clear and helpful video

[@Huzaku]

I've had the same two controllers since launch day of the ps4. One of the controllers had a weird glitch where if you press L2 it makes you move forwards which is not good for shooters. And the other controller wouldn't charge and if it did charge it wouldn't hold it. This video helped me to take apart both controllers safely and mix the parts to make one perfectly functional decade old Franken controller. Thank you for the help sir!

Way ahead of ya, on subscribing. Right after "We're just gonna get straight into the tutorial, no long intro, no nonsense..." I would probably be subbing

[@rooliesalt8878]

Man thank you, I had one functioning controller with the buttons all messed up, and one non functioning controller with perfect buttons, I now have one fully functioning controller with perfect buttons, you are awesome for posting this video.

[@Drumblanket]

Hey, Happy to help, Brother!!

[@yefry9732]

I'm having a hard time removing the screws

[@l9944]

Fuck yh I fucking stabed the shit out of that controller in the end

[@silverjay4455]

Thats the hardest part. The screwsssssss

[@gamemight1028]

My sprint button (left thumbstick) wasn’t sprinting so I wanted to find out what was wrong with it. I got it open but then I noticed that both thumb sticks are WAY to complicated for me to screw with.

[@koala_kingv2113]

All you have to do is spray some wd40 on it

Thanks for the tutorial bro, bought a preowned ps4 from a store, and the previous owner was clearly a smoker. Thing was filthy so needed a good clean.

[@merrionrivers5683]

U saved me money cause I was able to fix my stick drift and my button response issues by doing this thank u

[@SpiderPsychotic]

I can’t reassemble my PlayStation 4 controller is broken now thanks

[@sdm6097]

Love you so much you fix my controller ❤❤💖💖💝

[@TheSamppa1994]

I needed only to take the lower screws away because when I shaked the controller there were some small piece inside the controller that was moving and the sound was iritating but I got it out. Thanks for the tip video.

[@streamerteamt199]

Thanks you saved my life with this video i accidentaly pulled the L3 Joystick out of my friends controller. Now i could put it back❤

[@RackTheMilesWelding]

Honestly I'm just going to buy a new one. Lol

[@nelzelpher2088]

I'll buy your old one for 20

[@runerocker3194]

Putting it back together is nigh impossible...

[@lonelyghost7997]

Bro thank you for doing this, I had sticky buttons and this helped me fix it

[@caughtin8k932]

Thank you so much! The down dpad button would get stuck is pushed, and I figured out the rubber was torn. Thanks again for the instructions!

[@justintorres9231]

iTz-TemperZ-_- 23 yay!!!

[@randomdudehere9906]

Thank you so much i needed to put in a old analogstick into my controller because i literally in rage took off the analogstick since it drifts alot. Fixed my problem!!

[@kriswilka7968]

i got confused a little at some parts, but other than that, amazing and clear directions. Thanks!

[@Gobershmat]

Followed this tutorial to try and deal with some drift. The tutorial worked great and I pulled it apart and put it back together without problems, I pulled out piles of cat hair. Didn’t fix the drift, but good job on the tutorial. 👍

[@verticalrider1]

Thank you for making this tutorial. It helped me and my 6 year old repair a faulty joy stick.

[@jcgman433]

Thanks you for detailed video, I was able to fix my r3/l3 bottoms following your disassembly.

[@okay8011]

Ok so I one night at 2am had an idea to paint my controller and the console itself. I didn’t know how to take it apart so I found this video, I took it apart and paint the bottom shell and the buttons. After I finished painting I put it back together but what surprised me is that I didn’t look up anything on how to put it back together, it only took me an hour and it actually works and looks nice. And it was my first time too.

[@getawaythegamer]

Was watching the video because the R2 button isn't working on a few games I have. Thanks for the video it was helpful
