I did not. Just stole one from switch
want me to send you some? I can just swing you a switch board and you can have like 50 of them!
pad sent this morning.Done
13 boxes of toys sent out this morning and my benches and office have had a nice clean... it feels much less like being weighed down by a million things... it's good..
And it's listing day so we are testing and listing consoles!! All the ps5's be fixed!!
Do still need to send the mega cd as that is reserved for a regular so I'll ship that probably Monday.
Think I'll probably keep the slim and at least play astrobot that just turned up

These are the caps I stole... gotta be done really as I'm not one to wait on caps when I have a million donor boards laying around...
They ripped it clean off the board. It was still connected to the fan.. the warranty sticker was still in tack they were probably just cleaning the fan
@BuffetSlayer - can I do similar to your series 2?
Yep. You have my full blessing. But I prefer concave sticks rather than domes. Nice understated colour scheme there
That being said, some subtle RGB lighting could also be interesting. Lordy knows the pad has a big enough battery for it!
Yea I wont be putting rgb in it but I will be putting in some new triggers, and depending on how sloppy the sticks are ill be either replacing them and sticking some anti drift / calibration pots on it and generally just making it work better... you can replace the face plates etc on the series 2 but shells arent particularly cheap... I think the blue face plate alone cost me about £10.
The v2 has 4 motors and if they are all in and working correctly they should feel pretty good. The rumbles in the ps5 pads though are imo better. You can calibrate the elite rumble in software I think... I'm not 100 % but I'll check and have a play.
I did finish up the elite series 1 (just waiting on the low concave sticks to turn up) and when the rest of the parts get here we shall make a blue elite series 2.
Thinking about it I've spent way too much on that elite series 1 pad it had both pots, pot trim / anti drift, new face plate, new side trim, new l1,l2 r1,r2 ib fact all new buttons all round. Rear and battery cover are still original.

I just sort of do it for a bit of fun. Parts are pence generally so depending on the pad I'd sort it out for a donation to the beer fund if you don't mind paying the parts. What sort of pad is it?
Ahh sorry saw you said elite. Yea elite series 2 pads are a pain to fix up because you can't calibrate them... hence the doobery soldered to the pad to allow manual calibration. But otherwise pretty nice pads to fix up.

Lucky for you I have brand new shells for the series 2
all new rubber all around! I have blue and turq fronts and some other bits here so a nice looking modded one is perfectly doable 
Looking forward to soldering this later.

Easy street for a man of your calibre!!
You don't need a hot plate.. a better rework station would make that easy!! I don't pre heat the ps5 boards
