[drew081886]

I have an older sixaxis controller with no motors inside. I have an old PS2 controller with the vibration motors. Does anyone know if it would be possible to retrofit the PS2 rumble motors into the sixaxis? Is there room in those controllers for rumble motors? I know you can use the motors from a PS2 controller in a Dualshock, so the only issue is whether they could be made to fit inside a sixaxis.

[GetThisHere101]

@drew081886 im not exactly sure if they will fit in the casing but they will with my knowledge connect

[ZillaKid2000]

dose it matter if you have rumbles or do i need to solder the wires

[GetThisHere101]

@ZillaKid2000 you don't need to have rumble

[ZillaKid2000]

GetThisHere@ thanks oh yeah i got soda on my controller and i dissamebled it and washed down the sticky parts but it still wont charge

[mallocups1]

my screws wont unscrew

[flameboyist]

@GetThisHere101 tell people that it is a philips #0 so they don't use a wrong one and strip their screws, but besides that little lack of information very good video.

[MrrGowken]

[JoseMZ7]

[FamousGamers101]

PLZ PLZ HELP why won't the battery move it looks like its stuck to something and I'm afraid il screw up the remote if I pull it off

[GetThisHere101]

@FamousGamers101 there are two clips on the right and left of the battery you need to undo

[GetThisHere101]

@FamousGamers101 there are two clips on the right and left of the battery you need to undo

[EMlNEM2020]

@FamousGamers101 or youre controller is fake

[codydalla]

you dont have to remove the battery. you can keep it conneted to the circut board when you remove the circut board

[I2kPwnz]

im not hitting my controller.. its fucked up enough already 1:09

[TheZbass]

How would you fix a ps3 controller if coffee got in it? i tried fixing it I opened it dried it up with a cotton swab on where it was spilled and i unplug the battery cause it was annoying me wen i was fixing it when i was done i plug it back in and i put everythinq bak when i tried turning it on it didnt want to turn on,i even charged it for an hour and still it didnt turn on when it still shows the flashing red dots wen its charging but when i disconnect it from my ps3 and still doesnt turn on

[Barody96]

[Kinggenton]

problem the rumble pack is giving me alot of trouble to remove!!!

my ps3 controller got wet trying to dry it to solve the problem

[crazyfooInc]

Thanks for the excellent tutorial; the good camcorder was also a plus since it focused well and I could see! ^_^

[sk8erlewisss]

An easy way to unclamp the bottom bit between your 2 analog sticks is to get the flat/blunt end of a butter knife and push down with that it givs you extra leverage.

[Pengunz2]

HELP! My ps3 controller does not turn on, i put the charger in and nothing happens someone help me ASAP!

[sk8erlewisss]

@Pengunz2

this is the problem with my controller to go on ebay and buy a battery for it then replace the battery pretty simple

[sk8erlewisss]

@Pengunz2

ok so i just replaced the battery in my control and it still wont turn on so try it and see if it works for you if not i dont know

[IceWand1]

i got a sticky buttons like

X and O

Can i fix it with this way ?

thnx man :)

[SexxyScizor]

my rumble packs are stuck how do i take them out??

[speedy123321]

the f*cking screws are f*cking hard, they wont spin and open... any recommendations??? my controller is really screw up, specially when pressing L3, other buttons like triangle, circle, R2, sometimes even the PS button start pressing automatically!! games are turning unplayable, so im looking into fixing this one, ore buying a new controller

[GetThisHere101]

@speedy123321 when you are sure you got the screwdriver in the cross notches, put pressure and slowly turn... Make sure your screwdriver is the right size and you are using a (x) not a (-) screw driver

[schuncke]

@speedy123321 mine does the same thing,when im playing MW3 it starts throwing grenades when i dont want it to,things like that

[Barody96]

@speedy123321 I have the same problem bro if you found a solution please tell me too!!!

[speedy123321]

@Barody96 hi, i did find a solution /watch?v=7cnXHaHw1qA&feature=r­elated the resolution in the video is not the best, but the explanation is good enough, my controller is working perfectly now, so yeah it fixes the problem :) hope it helps (i did not make the video)

[Barody96]

@speedy123321 oh thank you so much :'D

[monkeneere1]

ii need to clean the joysticks so i figured i would pen up my remote, just for kicks, and well to clean it. would th process for a non-vibrating controller be the same?

[GetThisHere101]

@monkeneere1 The non-vibrating should have less steps because there are no rumble packs to worry about. The process will be mostly the same except for maybe 1 or 2 minor differences

[monkeneere1]

@GetThisHere101 awesome, thank you! :D

[monkeneere1]

@GetThisHere101 i forgot to thank you

the process was relatively the same the only difference was the little piece between the R1/R2 and L1/L2 buttons

it was an incredible pain but once i figured it out it was pretty easy

thank you very much for this very helpful video :D

[PIZZAFOOT7]

cheers dude that help hepps cause i couldnt get the rumbles out and i didnt wanna break them so thank you peace out by the way my PSN is pizzafoot7 spelt like tht send me a request if u want thanks again

[Videogamefanaitc2468]

Hey my rumble pack is clipped in or something what can I do to solve this

[GetThisHere101]

@Videogamefanaitc2468 I just disassembled the newest type of controller and with the rumble packs there are two white stubs that stick out like small poles, use your pointer and thumb and squeeze the two poles together till you hear them clip off. That's if you have the newest controllers that come in the cardboard packaging. thanks for watching and leave a thumbs up if this helped! thanks

[jzsingh12]

Eminem in the BACK! :)

[1meanieface1]

the problem im having is under the trigger, the green flimsy circuit thing, i don't know how to put it back under the buttons correctly

[xXzeregaXx]

I noticed that you just pulled out the rumble packs. I just bought this controller, and they're secured tightly by a clip. I don't want to break it, and i need help. Thanks.

[GetThisHere101]

@xXzeregaXx which part are you at? your motherboard and plastic pad is still together... are you trying to take out the rumble packs, what they have is a sticker that sticks on to the plastic carriage so you just cautiously with a good strength and push it out.

[xXzeregaXx]

@GetThisHere101 It's fine now. There was a small plastic safety clip that was easily removable.

[butlercaleb]

Thanks man

[kevgt500]

thank you so much for this upload it really helped

[ichigo47hollow]

wish xbox had these 4:30

[94PrestonB]

Hey , i disassembled my controller and then put it back together again but now it wont turn on, and when i plug it into the usb it only comes up with 4 flashing lights.Please help p.s iv tried resetting it. Thanks

[GetThisHere101]

@94PrestonB That just means you prolly assembled the controller really well cus it lights up when you plug it in!... I had the same problem my first time. Think your problem could be you put the reset button on backwards so when you close the controller all it does is keep resetting which causes it to keep blinking. Or you didn't fully connect the batter pack which is why there is only power when plugged in, let me know if you fixed it and test it out before closing the controller

[94PrestonB]

@GetThisHere101 Hey again i tried both suggestions you gave me but yea unfortunately neither worked :( . If you have any other ideas it would be much appreciated ( i dont want to fork out for a new controller haha ) Thanks

[GetThisHere101]

@94PrestonB Can't think of anything at the moment but will sure do... If you want I can skype vid call you? I don't mind, unless you do

[94PrestonB]

@GetThisHere101 Yea i would like to but just dont have a web cam haha , anyways thanks for your advice much appreciated :)

[JTProductions06]

I just cant open my controller. Help plz

[Forstr4]

U suck

[COOLGUY7899]

Tyvm

[smglsnk]

very nice video... tnx.. this is what i call dissasembly video :)

[XWSPhantom]

wow you made me brake my controller you ASSHOLE.



[GetThisHere101]

@XWSPhantom sir excuse my language but please shut your mouth... I did not make you do anything and the nerve to tell me that I made you brake your controller, lol

On the other hand, thank you for watching and if you need help fixing it then do ask

[klioy1o1]

@GetThisHere101 dude thx man i moded my controller

thx bro

[calintzkyezack]

@GetThisHere101 thanks dude,your video really help,but i dind't hear anything you said from this video because i mute it..just wanted to share here that if your L2 or R2 press automatically when playing games,it means the spring got broken,you can use a modify spring found in clicks pen...btw,reassambling is far more difficult than disassambled it...

[Falluccafier123]

how did you take out the 1-4 player leds?

[GetThisHere101]

@Falluccafier123 if your looking to mod the led lights, you don't need to take it off and I don't think it can come off... modding the leds is only messing with the lights on the circuit board meaning you have to de-soder the current red leds and soder the colored led light you wish to put on... If the video helped please leave a like and if you have any other questions I will definitely try to answer them

[jochman12]

shitttt alright i was planning on trying it. thanks for saving me the time haha

[jochman12]

Can you take out the Ps3 thumbsticks and replace them with Xbox thumbsticks?

[GetThisHere101]

@jochman12 I am not to sure because I never opened an xbox 360 controller but to take a guess... I don't think so because 360 thumb sticks will either be too small/big or it doesn't have the same shaped hole that fits into the ps3 sticks (rectangle)
