I can fix my PS3 controller without opening it? Random Pressing Button

My controller is pressing buttons randomly for itself, like a problem that has been posted before:

Why does my controller randomly presses buttons?

I've already opened the controller, and I haven't seen anything weird or abnormal in it. And in that previous post, the guy doesn't say what worked for him. Is there a way to fix this problem that has been proven to work? Or, do I just need to buy a new one?

Cleaning the controller on the inside is not working. What else I can do to fix it?

The problem is more frequently when pressing L3 or just giving some little hits on my hand and it starts to be randomly pressing buttons...

Google repair ps3 controller with tape. Its 15 min. Fixes all buttons. Their is a sensor pad when controller starts to do random stuff it needs a piece of rolled up tape flatend out to wedge all sensors flat and tight again. I've already fixed 4 controllers this way.

I've found the solution while searching for PS3 controller L3 problems. (The problem was more frequently when pressing L3 button.) I went to this forum and saw that a guy had found the solution. He included a link to this YouTube video:

I watched the video and found another video that shows a similar solution, but with another tape that is a good tip for the repair.

Reset button does not work. Nice try, people who think reset buttons fix physical issues in the controller. These aren’t computer glitches, the problems are physically in the controller

@ali, explain where "the foam" is and what it looks like. Better yet, post an image with your answer so we can see what you are describing.

Hi, I have a PS 3 and when playing two players on Minecraft, the one players world keeps spinning. If I use the same controllers on other games, there are no issues. The controllers are hard wired to the controller. Please advise how to fix the spinning..
