DualShock 2: Left buttons of the controller are not working

Hello there ! :)

The L1/L2 buttons and the left and high arrows/triggers (from the pad) are not working. But sometimes when I press the “down arrow” a long time the L1 and L2 buttons are activated.

Do you think it might be the cable which is damaged ? (the one which is connected to the PS2 which could have a bad contact) ?

I have already clean all the controller !

DualShock 2: How do I change the wires?

Sun, 19 Nov 2017 05:55:43 -0700

I have a PS2 controller that has a cut wire so I found an old broken PS2 controller from my childhood that still has a fine wire so I'm trying to desolder the wire, but the white box that holds the wires for the controller is completely stuck and I've used solder wick and desolder pump but it doesn't go away. Is there actually a way to desolder this?
