Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708: Joystick push button stops working after some time.

Thu, 15 Oct 2020 12:37:43 -0700

After I attempted to replace a faulty joystick I managed to destroy the path where on of the push buttons pin is supposed to be connected [attached image]. I soldered a bridged to the upper pin just so it wouldn’t get biased (They are the same terminal). It works fine for an hour or two, but after that the controller just detects the push button is being pressed or it won’t detect anything at all. This happens with the bridge i solder and without it. It just seems a weird problem, after i tinker with it (move the bridge a little or just solder and de-solder the push button) it comes back to life and the it will break again. Do I need to just replace that motherboard?

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708: Directional pad not working

Thu, 24 Sep 2020 13:06:56 -0700

A few days ago my little brother spilt milk on my remote and the d-pad quit working. I took it apart and cleaned it and got the d- pad to work in the up and right direction but it still won't work in the left or down direction is there a way to fix this.?

P.s. Also when I shake the controller it sounds like theres something it the controller moving around like a a bunch of small prices but when I take it apart there's nothing.

Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697: My triggers have been acting up

Tue, 26 May 2020 02:30:35 -0700

So my controller was completely fine one day until something very strange started happening. I could not move around the home screen so my xbox is pretty much inaccessible. But when I turn it into magnifier mode i can do everything completely fine so i used this opportunity to go into the controller test mode. When i’m magnified every button works apart from LT and RT, but when i zoom our to the normal screen, the test mode shows that RT is being spammed constantly (while i’m not pressing it).

Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697: xbox one controller pcb analog stick replacement issue.

Tue, 19 May 2020 15:07:30 -0700

Hello,

I tried replacing the left analog stick module on a xbox one controller board (soldering).

I did not solder a new module on the controller yet so on the moment you only see the soldering “holes” but when i connect my controller to my xbox or my pc it keeps pressing up (controller tester says the left stick is continuesly pushing up) But there is no left stick…

Does somebody know what this could be?

in a fit of gaming induced rage I decided it would be a good idea to slam the controller against my knee. It feels like it’s not attached and won’t stay in the middle will I need to buy a new controller or can I fix this?

Xbox One Elite Controller (Model 1698): Analog stick module replacement

Tue, 17 Mar 2020 11:42:00 -0700

Hey,

I tried to change the analog stick module of several of my xbox one controllers, i dont have much experience soldering etc btw.

But i replaced the module on the board and when i connect my controller to my pc with game controller tester the analog stick is pressed 100% to the right.. Why does this happen and how do i prevent it?

I tried to change the module on 3/4 boards and all have similair problems..

Did i burn all my boards? Are the analogstick modules faulty? Or am i missing a step…

I also tried to change it on my elite controller, i replaced the left stick because the right one was working fine.

But after replcing te left one it says im pressing it 100% to the left, moving the stick around etc does nothing.. but the strange thing is it also says that im pushing the right stick 100% in a direction but i dident touch the right one.

Anyone knows what im doing wrong?

And strange that all boards have similair problem…

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708: Xbox button not powering on controller

Wed, 11 Mar 2020 15:56:33 -0700

I just got a new Xbox one controller v2, but it won't turn on when I press the Xbox button.

When I connect the USB cable it starts and works just fine, I can even remove the cable once the controller is up and running and it maintains its connection to my Xbox. But as soon as I turn it of I need the USB cable to "jump start" the controller again.

The Xbox button and everything works as intended after I turned on the controller (with the cable), it just doesn't work as an "on switch" for the controller.

It is updated to the latest firmware and I've tried different batteries.

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708: XBox One 1708 Controller displays bad & weird button behavior

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 18:29:44 -0700

Not sure if this one is a 1708 (label in battery compartment has been removed). It’s definitely red! I’m not the first owner, so I don’t know the history of the controller.

The Sync button would blink once and go dead when pressed. The controller works as expected when a micro-USB cable is connected. After disconnecting the micro-USB cable and attempting wireless connectivity with known working batteries, I noticed the controller works as expected when the Sync button is HELD DOWN. I then hit the B button and the console asked which controller am I using (as I had a working 1537 already connected). Releasing the Sync button turns off the 1708.

The only other defect - the Pause/Menu button (just left of the X button) fails to engage at all.

All other buttons and joysticks work as expected and tested with the Game Controller Tester app for Windows 10.

What should I examine when I take the 1708 apart in addition to the silicon front button assembly?

Where can I get replacement microswitches for the Pause/Menu and Sync buttons?

This question might be cross-posted elsewhere.

My Xbox One controller was running low on batteries, so I tried to put some new ones in, but no matter which batteries I put in, the controller won’t turn on! I’ve tried many batteries but sometimes when I press the logo, the light flashes and blinks and then fades away. And I really wanna play the new NBA 2k20 I just bought!
