    • Insert your opening pick between the front case and rear case at either side of the ports.

    • Twist your pick to unclip this section of the rear case from the front case.

    • If the rear case feels stuck, insert and twist your pick from different angles.

    • Don't open the controller yet, as it's still held together by two very delicate clips near the triggers.

I’ve changed two flex boards from two different sellers, and I keep having a battery drain of about 25mA after i installed them. The battery drain is not present with the original flex board, any ideas?

Alessandro - Antwoord

Ok no, little update. the battery drain is present even if I disconnect the flex board, the touch connector and the led . It’s something on the main board I think, but I can’t figure out what is it. Is there some insulation that I may have lost when changing the flex board the first time?

Alessandro -

That sounds really weird. I don’t remember any insulation on this specific model of controller. I don’t have this anymore as it was a repair for a friend and I also hadn’t noticed or measured such a drain.

Devnol -

The only other thing I can think of is a failure on one of the components soldered on the main board, but 20mA in standby condition are VERY high!

Alessandro - Antwoord

The warning regarding the rumblers being hard soldered and the wiring is delicate honestly should be in step 4, jiggling joysticks to remove the front cover can easily cause the rumblers to be disconnected and require some time consuming resoldering to reattach them.

sefog - Antwoord

Good point! From the fact that I used the word "again" in step 6, I may have had that in at some point but something happened and I accidentally removed it. I'll add it back. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Buenos días. En mi caso cambie el flex, cambie las gomitas conductoras y así y todo sigue sin funcionar el R2. Sabrán cuál es el problema???

Andres Juan Arana - Antwoord

Hi! I'm sorry your R2 button doesn't work. You have some options. 1) Look for damage on the silicone button pad. Make sure the R2 button can push the pad onto the button circuit membrane. Look for damage that prevents the button from pressing. 2) Clean the silicone pad where it touches the button circuit membrane. Dirt or dust might block the connection. 3) Follow the connection on the button circuit membrane to where it connects to the motherboard. Clean the contact on the motherboard and look for electrical damage.

If you have more questions, ask the community!

Good luck!
