DualShock 4 CHU-ZCT2U: What is causing my controller to act like this?

Fri, 22 May 2026 15:21:57 -0700

So for different controller I installed normal sticks and it won't charge or connect to my PC. I noticed on the four prongs on the analog stick that is R3( works in-game and camera spinning) were really short. I still can connect to my ps4 via wireless. I was able to press X to enter the game from the ps4 menu, but in the main menu when I pressed X it wouldn't register. So I removed a solder from that analog stick and then I was able to enter the game from its main menu still not charging nor I can connect to PC I was able to connect prior to replacing sticks.

Handheld Game Console: Trimui Smart Pro with broken R1/R2 switch

Mon, 11 May 2026 19:58:33 -0700

I bought a used Trimui Smart Pro that had some physical mods on it (a fan and heat sink), but the owner failed to mention the R2 button was totally broken.

I opened it to take a look if I was able to fix it, and I accidentally bridged the button with the R1 while trying to install another button (which also failed because it was too big).

Which button switch can I use for this? Is this salvageable at all? The device turns on and plays as normal, but the lack of this button bothers me so much.

Steam Deck OLED: Works plugged, but turns off the instant unplgged

Mon, 11 May 2026 09:29:39 -0700

Hello!

My Steam Deck was submerged in water... I left it alone for 8 months assuming it was completely dead and one day decided to try and boot it up. To my surprise it worked!

Everything works great except it needs to stay plugged in. The second I unplug it the screen goes blank.

I've spoke with steam support whom has asked me to key some information into a cmd prompt in the desktop mode and it shows the battery health is 98% and it is discharging... It also shows the battery as "charging" in the game mode but obviously the battery does not charge.

Just wondering if I am wasting money with a battery replacement or if there would be another issue...

Thanks!

8BitDo Pro 2 Wired: Shoulder button membrane switch won't stay together

Sun, 10 May 2026 04:06:59 -0700

Hi guys. First time posting so sorry if I'm stupid and didn't attatch the image properly.

I took apart my controller cause r1 wouldn't spring back and discovered the pad fell through the slot of the membrane. (right one in the image, left is intact) I tried putting it back up but it just falls through again when pressed. I've never dealt with membrane switches before so please tell me if i'm missing somthing.

I found a post here on the forum where someone else had the same sholder button problem and a recommendation given was to order new membrane and replace it. But op hadn't opened it yet and didn't return with updates so i thought i should ask if i can fix it on the spot first before ordering, just to save myself the shipping time.

Thanks in advace

Logitech RS50 Base: Where I can buy the plastic guides that secure the base to a rig

Sun, 10 May 2026 02:24:44 -0700

The plastic guides that go between the metal plate that holds the steering wheel base. To mount the base to the rigs bucket style seat broke, because my metal plate didn’t had all the 4 holes lining up with the metal plate. The pattern is different and I only could put two screws instead of 4 so the wheel got lose and broke the plastic guides.I decided to use the clamp but I want to replace the guides and don’t want to use the warranty just for that. Do you guys know were I can find them even aftermarket maybe could do. If there is no og parts yet. Thanks in advance

Nintendo 3DS: One of the screws is stripped

Fri, 08 May 2026 12:49:10 -0700

One of the screws on the bottom cover of my old 3DS XL is stripped and won’t turn. I’ve tried applying a small amount of superglue to a very thin flathead screwdriver, but nothing seems to work. I need to fix it so I can open the system properly and easily remove and insert my SD card.

Scuf Instinct Pro: Wireless connection issue - no longer syncing

Mon, 04 May 2026 08:09:40 -0700

So I had a person attempt to repair the stick drift issue it was having. On return, the repair person said that the wireless wouldnt work for them with their xbox ( this was working before I gave it to them) and they said it was never set up for xbox...
Im looking at the instinct and the ps version and I think they went through and did the repairs of the ps5 on the instinct... but I am unsure about its wireless sensors. the button does engage and light up, but no devices, windows, ps, or xbox can see it anymore.

Any suggestions on what I should focus on? or what to check to see might need to be replaced?

Xbox Series X: On/Off Beep. Shorts around APU test points

Sat, 02 May 2026 15:58:04 -0700

I have an xbox series x that does not power on. It started as an HDMI repair with ripped traces and snowballed into something worse. I cannot get it to come on. I ordered a raspberrypi pico to flash this firmware (https://github.com/xboxoneresearch/PicoD...) and get the whatever POST code it was throwing.

The result was SMC (1): E006 [SMC_FATAL_CPUGFX] Low priority: VREG_PWRGPAB_CPUGFX_PWRGD missing/timout: Check shorts on V_DRAM1P8, V_SOC1P8, V_SOCPHY. U681, U7, U129, U57 and U480 drive this signal low when a fault is detected.

I checked those test points and got no shorts. I did get shorts on the V_GFXCORE, V_CPUCORE, V_MEMPHY, V_SOC test points though.

I am at a loss as to what could be the issue here. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
