    • Using the Phillips #00 Screwdriver, remove the four 6.0 mm screws securing the rear cover to the controller.

    • Be careful loosening the screws, using the wrong sized screwdriver, or letting the screwdriver slip can permanently damage the screw heads, making removal extremely difficult.

    • Four fragile plastic clips hold the casing together. You can see their locations more clearly in this guide.

    • The clips help hold the seams together. If you break these clips, the controller will still work.

    • Beginning with the left handle:

    • Pinch the left handle of the controller to introduce an opening.

    • Wedge a plastic opening tool into the opening and slide it up towards the joystick.

    • Pull down on tool to pry open the casing.

    • Repeat these steps for the right handle.

    • Wedge a plastic opening tool into the case-splittings and pull down to crack open the casing near the following buttons:

    • Share button

    • Options button

    • Split the plastic covers of the controller apart, taking note that they will still be attached by circuit board ribbons.

    • Three small pieces are often released from the framework. To prevent loss, maintain a controlled work field.

    • 2 Trigger Springs

    • 1 Grey Reset Button Extension

    • Use tweezers or your fingers to grab and disconnect the head of the battery cable from the motherboard.

    • Only pull on the head of the connector—don't pull on the cable itself.

    • Gently detach the touchpad ribbon connected to the motherboard using the blunt forceps. The touchpad ribbon is connected to the motherboard by a connector that flips to tighten and loosen. During reassembly, to reattach the ribbon, the plastic tray will need to be gently removed from the motherboard and the flip-lock flipped up.

    • Carefully dislodge the motherboard assembly from the front cover.

    • Vibration motors are loosely attached to the motherboard assembly. Provide support at the two ends to ease the separation.

    • When removing the motherboard assembly, try not to tilt the front cover upside down as the buttons and their covers may fall out.

    • These are the solder connections that will need to be desoldered. Since the board is upside down, left will become right.

    • Use a desoldering wick and flux to melt and remove the solder

    • This may take a bit of practice since all the solder will have to be removed. It does help to pull a bit on the joystick while melting the solder and using the wick.

    I'm new to solder/desoldering but i've been unable to get the solder to really melt or come loose enough to remove during this step. i have a solder remover/sucker but alas no luck.

    any recommendations?

    You need heat, solder wick (skip the solder sucker, those never work for me;-) and lots of flux. Place flux on your wick and tin the tip of your soldering iron with solder as well.

    • Once all the contacts are desoldered, the old joystick can be removed.

    • Check that all the holes are cleared of old solder. Hypodermic needles as well as very small drill bits can be used to clear the holes.

    • Insert the new joystick into the circuit board. Make sure it is properly seated and that all the contacts line up with the holes in the circuit board.

    • Double check to make sure the joystick is seated properly.

    • Solder all the contacts to the board.

    • Here is the board after the repair. All that is left is to clean off the old flux with some isopropyl alcohol.

Conclusión

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

I just tried to remove both joystick and replaced them but unfortunately only one joystick works and that one that works it's stuck on and only moves in one direction.

I've not been able to actually get the solder out, would love any suggestions or tips.

James Napoli - Contestar

send me a couple of pictures on what your repair looks like thus far. Send them to my email. Click on my username and my email address is on my profile. Let's see what you got so far.

This is a very difficult repair, what this guy didn't mention is you need a very expensive solder station with an electric solder sucker. The solder needs removing and it's nearly impossible without damaging the tracking.

Dave bolton - Contestar

You definitely need some soldering experience but the repairability is not that difficult. The soldering points are big enough for any cheap ($40) soldering iron can get too. As for removing them, it helps to use flux and also a soldering wick to absorb all the old solder. It is not easy but not the most difficult repair. P.S you do not need the expensive soldering stating with hot air etcetera. This works perfectly as it get hot beyond the required point to melt the solder

I've been repairing ps4 controllers along time and this isn't an easy fix. You need an electric solder sucker, to get all the solder out the holes with danagimv the tracking is near on impossible with a good solder

@dave2003 “what this guy didn't mention is you need a very expensive solder station with an electric solder sucker “, nope! All I used what a run-of-the-mill soldering iron and some soldering wick and flux. This is a straight forward repair that does not require any special tools!

Can someone suggest a good soldering gun and soldering metal ?

mine is for very thin wires.

Animeiat A - Contestar

What is the best soldering gun yet affordable that I can use to solder this in place ?

mine only works for thin wires.

Animeiat A - Contestar

Pro tip: If the button works properly and you only need to fix 1 axis, you only need to remove the 3 pins that holds the potentiometer. You can snap off the potmeter from the metal casing of the stick and replace that part only if you have a compatible one but you need to be carefull, as there are multiple size of analog sticks with different potmeters on the sides and sometimes the shaft doesn’t match. But if you have multiple spares analog stick you can try to find a matching one.

I took the ps4 controller apart, and the video I was watching said to pop off the green things that are around the analog stick with white things inside them, they have tiny pieces on top and bottom, i’m missing that little peice, does that matter
