How can I fix connection between the 2 boards

The connection between the 2 boards in my controller are acting up, when the top board is lightly placed in the connector everything is fine but when pushed in completely light goes out on front batteries don't work and connected with a cable there is a noise like a coil whine come from the controller buttons still work tho! Any ideas on the problem and possible fixes would be appreciated thanks.

Hi Karl! In the 1st photo, the pins do look dirty! Can you try to clean them with isopropryl alcohol? And then share a photo with us again? In the worst case, that one need to be replaced..

Hi Karl!

Check the pins on the connector. It’s possible that one or more pins are bent and thus not making a good connection! Please check all the pins if they are OK.

Clean the pins as well and see if that makes a difference. In the worst case, you need to replace the connector with the pins (upper board) to get it fixed.

Please show us some photo’s if possible! Thanks!
