That looks really good. How much would it cost?

It doesnt cost a lot at all the parts are like less than a fiver.

£1.30 ish for the two pots and a quid or so for the adjusters.

And I just wiped out £100 buying parts for elite series 2 pads bought some awesome stuff to make some super funky pads though.

Capacitor back on that PS5, but nothing. Not even picking it up on the TV at all now. Must have bridged something somewhere.

Square 1. Hello darkness my old friend... Walked away from it in the end. If there's anything watch repair has taught me, it's the skill of cooling off and patience. Lest you gorilla something.

This is the way did you do a quick probe on hdmi port in diode mode to just check everything looks right? On the back side there is a diode and some other bits if I'm not mistaken. Pics front and back of port.. come one man show us what we are working with here. have you also checked the filters etc?

Also just check you are getting the 5v pin 19!

Thank you. That sounds very reasonable. I'll have a think and get back to you.

Thinkin about my 2 pads with the drift, is it possible to replace them with the hall sticks so drift won’t occur again?

I'll get some pics tonight, although I'm tempted to start again now I've found my decent solder paste and flux. The other stuff I was using wasn't the best.

Depends what pads they are my man... probably! you never know, depends what pots they have and what the values of said pots are.

Both pads are just the standard x/s controller all be it different colors

yea they mostly have the old 10k pots in them with square top! halls are readily available here.Its the screw in tops from the elites that are more difficult to come by

solder paste? oh hell no.....

I couldn't get the leaded solder to flow with hot air alone and I was terrified of burning the board lol. Those PS5 PCBs soak up some heat!

Just go very hot and keep it moving!! 460 or so on ps5 boards with no tip on. Maximum power my friend!!

I found halls for the elite series 2 but they are 13 quid a pair. I have bought a few sets though!
