DualShock 4: Riparazione scheda jdm-055 analogico sinistro

Wed, 01 Feb 2023 18:15:26 -0700

Salve a tutti, ho acquistato una ps4 usata e il venditore mi ha 'regalato' un controller che lui ha tentato di riparare.

Ho visto che la scheda è messa molto male, ha molti graffi con alcuni resistori mancanti e parti strappate, secondo voi sarebbe possibile eseguire qualche riparazione o è da buttare?

Giocando il trigger sinistro (L2, cioè mirare) lo premo a volte funziona, altre volte è come se non rilevasse la pressione. Qualcuno sa rispondermi. Grazie

DualShock 4: DualShock 4 funziona solo via cavo dopo riparazione

Mon, 09 Aug 2021 02:31:36 -0700

Ciao a tutti.

Dopo aver sostituito un analogico il mio controller funziona soltanto se collegato via cavo, appena viene staccato si spegne.

La batteria funziona ma se collegata al controller, ai capi del connettore sono presenti solo 0.36V circa.

Inoltre il chip S2PG001A si scalda parecchio.

Quale potrebbe essere il problema?

DualShock 4: Tasto L3 (click) non funzionante.

Mon, 29 Jun 2020 14:30:41 -0700

Buonasera a tutti.

Da una settimana ormai il mio controller ha un problema al tasto L3 (quando lo si preme, per intenderci), non funzionando completamente. Tuttavia, per quanto riguarda il movimento, che sia in orizzontale o verticale, il controller risponde tranquillamente ai comandi. Sapreste indicarmi la soluzione a questo problema??

GRAZIE ANTICIPATAMENTE

DualShock 4: Why is my PS4 controller acting on its own?

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 06:12:33 -0700

My PS4 controller seems to act on its own whenever I try to navigate anywhere and it goes in all different directions instead of going where I want it to go, I don't know if it's broken or if it's a technical issue inside.

DualShock 4: Water damaged, PS4 controller, how to diagnose and repair?

Thu, 24 Jul 2025 10:01:34 -0700

After a late night I stupidly deposited my PS4 controller on top of the dishes in my sink. The next day after looking all over for the controller, to my dismay, I noticed it perched atop my dishes. As I removed it small droplets escaped from the PS button and L/R handles. I waited until it dried sufficiently. Then I plugged it back into the HDMI charging cord. I waited a while since there was no light showing residual charge.

I turned my console on and could not get the PS button to respond, thereby barring me from its use. After charging it for a while, a blue light flickered on and off intermittently. Is there someway I could salvage my controller?

DualShock 4: Light bar blinks Orange when plugged in but does not turn white or blu

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 15:07:34 -0700

Controller seems dead unless I plug it into USB. When I plug it in using the USB it does the slow orange light blink but after when I press the PS button it's dead again. Usually it would light up afterword but I'm at a loss from here. I've tried the reset but still same problem. I took the controller apart to see if anything was broken and nothing that I could see is wrong. What's the diagnosis and what parts do I buy from you to fix it? Thanks

DualShock 4: Directional buttons not responsive

Thu, 17 Jul 2025 22:25:29 -0700

On my original PS4 controller (got another one when I upgraded to PS4 Pro), the up, down, left and right buttons just one day decided they didn't want to work anymore. I've tried resetting the controller, a number of times, with the same result, which leads me to believe it's not the signal to the PS4 but rather something within the controller itself. I'm not too keen on opening it up and it could not be the buttons themselves anyway but maybe a cable that goes from that area to the rest of the controller? Does anyone have any DIY advice before I break down and pay a bench fee?

DualShock 4: Ps4 dualshock controller won't turn on

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 19:19:23 -0700

Hello everyone.

I have 2 ps4 controllers.

One of them doesn't go on. If I put them on the charge cable on the ps4 they lit orange as usual but as soon as I put them off the cable it goes out. If I press the home button it won't turn on. Only via cable.

So I thought that it was the fault of the battery. I bought a new battery out it in and still the same. The other controller functions without problem and this one also but doesn't go on wireless.

Please help what can I do?

DualShock 4: My left analog stick is not moving properly...?

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 17:58:46 -0700

So, I bought this controller about a year ago and, as it was my 2nd controller, never used it so often. Then, my first controller broke, and I had to use this 2nd one since then. So, I noticed that whenever I moved the analog stick to the right, it computed as if I was moving diagonally to the bottom-right corner. Whenever I moved to the left, the movement in-game was as if I was moving diagonally to the top-left.

Then I tried to fix it by opening it and seeing if there's any problem, and it didnt seem like it had. The only thing I did when I opened the controller is that I took the analog stick out and put it back again. Then, another problem appeared: whenever I moved the analog stick upwards, to move forward in-game, it stopped moving after a while, like 5-10 seconds. What should I do? Is that a chipset problem? Please help!

DualShock 4: My PS4 Controller is dead

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 04:52:21 -0700

My PS4 controller has suddenly died on me. It wont charge and it wont turn on. I replaced the battery but it is still non responsive.

I previously used it with my Xiaomi batter back with a USB type C cable with micro usb extension. I think that caused the problem.

any solution. I basically want to know which part do i need to replace for it to work again
