I've tried pretty much everything I think and nothing works, tried enabling the speaker in my sound settings but my controller doesn't even appear in there. I downloaded dualsense x and tested the right side and left side rumble motors by themselves and the right side is significantly weaker. Wanted to know if replacing the rumble motors would be possible on the V5 since I don't already see any guides here and if so is it just the rumble motors that need to be replaced or anything also involving the triggers?

I don’t see the pins that are described in prior versions, so am having difficulty removing them.
