Broken Playstation 3 Controller Restoration & Repair
I bought this broken Playstation 3 controller to restore it. The controller presses the buttons by itself, additionally the battery is dead and the controller is quite dirty and yellowed.
After I disassembled the controller, I cleaned all the plastics and put the yellowed parts in my retrobrighting box. Retrobrighting is a chemical process that removes the yellowing from the plastic. Here is my tutorial to the process: https://youtu.be/jdWRsjnVD3s?si=1sYbS4LRXoc4JyH7
And my tutorial to making the box: https://youtu.be/JX-RJM8MZpU?si=ipORYpuP9lshiwpk
Next it was time to fix the controller. This type of problem often appears when the small piece of foam shiwn in the video gets old and too soft. When that happens it won't apply enough pressure to the pieces that need to make contact. I usually replace them with a new piece of EVA foam. I've also seen people add multiple layers paper or tape under the foam. I also cleaned the electronics with isopropyl alcohol.
Finally I replaced the old dead battery with a new one. Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed the video!
