The only difference is that now, instead of flashing one white light, it flashes three. I couldn't find anything that explains what this means. I was planning on opening up the device again and checking the connections, but before I do, does anyone happen to know what it means?

EDIT: Here is a video of the issue, hopefully it will play. With the PS5 off and disconnected, I hit the PS button on both controllers. The black controller flashes the blue light bar and one white light. The white controller flashes the blue light bar and three white lights.

Grateful for any advice on how to check for a short or anything. This is my 2nd joystick replacement (first time on bdm010) I've got a multi meter

I am still buying replacement ribbon cablss from AliExpress just in case.

I have tried also:

switching the trigger modules and cleaning the membrane

cleaning the whole board with 99% isopropyl

hard resetting the controller

As the title says, how do I remove the internal piece of the L2/R2 button?

I got some new ones to customise my controller but they don't have the internal piece where the metal rod secures the button and I can't figure out how to remove it from my original ones

My son dropped my controller a few times and all of a sudden the triangle is not working very well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I tried cleaning it up from the outside and I'm a bit sceptical about opening it as I might just make it stop working completely. Does anyone have experienced something like that? R2 trigger is also in the same condition (sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't).

Update I kinda fixed my controller....I figured out you can heat the PCB from the back of the buttons using a hot air station to remove them (I used 350C and fan speed 4.5). I stole the controller reset button and put it in place of the "options" button. It's worth noting that if one of these buttons is removed from the PCB, it'll read as always "pushed"....so you have to put the bad button back on the spot you took the good one from. So, long story short, I can't take screenshots with this controller anymore, and if something weird happens I don't have the option to hit the "reset" button, but it's now usable again because my "options" button works great! Hope this helps anyone with this issue.....I'd still like to know if anyone can steer me in the direction of getting some new buttons though!

I need some help with tracing the circuit path (pinout / routing) for the analog stick potentiometer. If anyone has a boardview, schematic, or repair experience with this, I’d really appreciate your guidance.

When she's playing she turns the character right and everything is all good, but when she turns to look left the movement speed slows down. So she'll turn real slow, turning right is normal though so I can't think what the issue would be.
