DualSense: デュアルセンスのマイクが反応しない

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 05:00:31 -0700

マイクが反応しなくなりました。

アナログスティックを交換する際にコントローラーを分解した時、マイク部分の裏側についているペラペラした細長い紙みたいなのが切れている？ようなのを視認しました。こちらを交換すれば直るのでしょうか？

ps4のコントローラーが充電できないのはなぜでしょうか？ ps4に接続しても動作しません。(黄色のランプが点灯しません) pcに接続すると、黄色のランプが点灯しますが、コントローラーの電源が入りません。1週間前にも同じ問題が発生し、リセットボタンを押すことで解決できました。しかし、今回はうまくいきません。

I got new triggers and I mean the plastic that you press to use them. And they are two pieces the one you press and the one that holds that piece on that piece has a little magnet in it and I lost mine during the replacement so my triggers won’t work.

DualSense Controller v2: Why are both my R2 and L2 button not working?

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 04:11:53 -0700

Hi! I recently found 2 PS5 controllers at a recycling point and one of them worked just fine, aside from a little joystick jitter which isn't a big issue because it doesn't affect any games.

The second one however also has joystick jitter, but worse than that: both the R2 and L2 buttons don't work at all! I tested them in Gamepad Tester and both give 0% input when I press them. Because both triggers fail at the same time, I suspect it isn't a problem with the conductive pads, but I am not sure. I already checked and re-seated the cables, but that didn't change anything.

Anyone got an idea of what could be the problem? And maybe a quick fix for the joystick jitter? :)

DualSense Edge: Finding replacement 6-pin ribbon cables for the DualSense Edge

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 00:41:05 -0700

Hello iFixit members!

I'm asking a question: where I can get the replacement 6-pin ribbon cable for my DualSense Edge? I had accidentally damaged the cable during reassembly, and I need the replacement ribbon cable real quick.

It has to be within the exact specification:

6-pin
0.5mm pitch, which is the same as the trigger ribbon cable
3.8 to 4 cm in length. The reason why it has to be in this specific length is because if it's too long, it will push against the back shell of the controller, and if it's too short and the cable won't reach either the mainboard connector or the sub boards (which contains both the back buttons and the relays to the rumble motor)
Conductors has to be on the same side.

I can't find the exact cable on e-commerce stores Aliexpress, hence why I asked for help here,

Update 1: Here's the picture of the cable in question:

Update 2 (July 16, 2026): My order at Kasynparts (https://kasynparts.com/product/ps5-duals...) had arrived today...only to find out that it's the 50mm cables (which is way too long to be fit into the controller). I have to place an order at an Aliexpress shop (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10050124...) and is currently wait to see if the shop does actually sell the 40mm cable.

Update 3 (July 29, 2026): my order from Cloukeu IC components Store on Aliexpress has arrived and it fit just right for the DualSense Edge (despite having a little bit shorter blue tap)! With that, the controller is finally fixed!

DualSense Controller V3: Faceplate Compatibility with other versions

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 00:37:34 -0700

Hi, I own a V3 Controller and it is the Spider-man 2 variant controller. It has developed stick drift and I am hoping to avoid having to solder anything.

Can I transfer the face plate and track pad plate onto a V5 controller?

If not, will the motherboard and sticks from a V5 fit and connect with internals from a V3?

For reference i have the motherboard serial number BDM-030. Any help is appreciated I would love to keep the livery on this controller if joystick replacement is the only option then that'll have to do. Thank you.

DualSense Controller v2: Stuck D-Pad even after cleaning

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 11:20:49 -0700

Hey y'all, my down button on the d-pad is 'stuck' so that when I turn my controller on, it's constantly scrolling down unless i actively press UP on the d-pad. The physical button itself is not stuck in a pressed down position. I already took my controller apart and cleaned the rubber + d-pad and the problem is persisting. Does this sound like a software issue then instead of a hardware one? Any advice would be helpful!

DualShock 4 CHU-ZCT2U: Which screwdriver should I use to disassemble a PS4 controller?

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 09:03:57 -0700

I want to open my controller for maintenance because it have drift issues. My question is which type of screwdriver to use—Phillips or JIS? I have both, as I bought the iFixit kit; the JIS seems perfect because the cross-head tip is flat. I really need to know this so I don't strip the screw heads. Also, should it be a size 0 or 00? Thanks a lot.

DualShock 3: My controller stopped working without any fall or strain.

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 23:33:28 -0700

I'm having a problem with my PS3 controller. I was playing GTA V when the screen suddenly went black, so I turned off my PS3 by pressing and holding the power button for about 10 seconds. After that, I turned the console back on, and it worked perfectly and went to the main menu without any problems. However, the controller has completely stopped working. Even though it was charged beforehand, it's completely unresponsive. I tried connecting it to the console via USB cable, but it didn't work. I also tried connecting it to the charger, but there's no charging light or any indicator light. When I press the PS button, no light comes on at all, and there's no flashing or response. It seems like the problem is with the controller itself, not the PS3 console. What are the possible causes of this malfunction? Are there any diagnostic or repair steps I can try?
