Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1537: Xbox One Controller Lt always pressed on

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 09:14:53 -0700

Good day, everyone. I have an Xbox One controller whose Lt button is always pressed on. After disassembling it, I noticed that one of the resistors connecting the magnet to the LT button was missing.

The problem comes with the replacements, I have an PDP xbox controller motherboard with a lot of resistances, but I encountered that most of them are lower (68 - 70 ohms) or higher (150 ohms) capacity than the original (100 ohms) according to the schematic. I have enough soldering skills to do the job, but I was wondering if there will be any serious problems if I replace the resistance with a lower or higher one. Will I have more problems with it? Could it destroy my controller? I made this post because I could buy one on AliExpress, but I want to speed up the process without mentioning it to the professionals first.

I hope you can all help me. I will attach the exact schematic and the part of the resistance for more details. If you have any other information about my problem, such as the exact resistance I need or if there is something else on the controller causing the LT button to be pressed all the time, I would be very grateful. Thank you and have a good day everyone.

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1537: Right joystick issue. Not drift

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 18:45:12 -0700

I have an xbox one controller that if the right stick is pressed up, it goes directly to -1 on that axis and stays there. The joystick returns to center but the position does not. It does not register any other position, even though it does show the joystick movement. The joystick has been replaced with a new one and it is the same issue. Problem with the board?

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1537: Xbox One Controller - Right Trigger 'Stuck'

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 18:13:45 -0700

The issue I'm having is that the right trigger is constantly depressed, even when it is not being touched. It is not a sticky key or physical depression, but a virtual one. Just to be clear, the trigger is in the resting/open position. To verify this, I plugged the controller into my PC for troubleshooting on gamepad-tester.com and it also shows the right trigger being depressed, even when it's not being touched.

I have opened up the controller and cleaned it out thoroughly and checked to make sure there were no obstructions in or around the right trigger. It appears to open and close normally and looks identical to the working trigger on the LHS (nothing damaged or worn down).

I am about to give up and throw it out unless someone has other ideas?

I read somewhere about possibly being caused by the magnets out of alignment. If so, would I need to cut open the rubber covers to inspect inside?

TIA

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1537: Dangers of removing power management ic chip

Sun, 17 Jan 2021 12:31:12 -0700

Evening all!

A good year ago now, my Xbox one controller had the (seemingly fairly common) problem of getting ridiculously hot after being on for a minute or two, and then disconnecting. I traced the problem to a faulty power management IC, but (perhaps foolishly) didn't have the time to wait and order a new one, and also don't know where my soldering iron is ? so I literally chopped the faulty chip off with some snips (I know)

Since doing this the controller has been working flawlessly and I haven't given it much thought, but I was just wondering if there is any risks with doing this and continuing using the controller?

I've read what the functions of the chip are, and it almost seems like it shouldn't work without it… but a year later and still going strong.

Any info appreciated!!

TIA

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1537: My controllers won't turn on unless I use a USB cable

Fri, 06 Mar 2020 07:47:19 -0700

2 of my 3 Xbox one controllers (I got them used) have the same issue:

They won't turn on with the Xbox button, no matter which battery I use (normal battery or play and charge battery).

They turn on and work perfectly fine with a USB cable.

I can then unplug them and they keep working wirelessly. I can then switch them off by holding the Xbox button.

So it's not an issue with the Xbox button nor with the battery contact.

I updated the firmware and did a reset of both controllers, no change.

It's weird since they both have this same issue, and I can't find anybody online that has it.

Do you guys have any idea of what it could be coming from?

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1537: Left button not working on Xbox controller after being replaced

Sun, 02 Feb 2020 15:15:10 -0700

I have a 1537 controller that had intermittent problems with the left button, on metering the switch for continuity it needed replacing.

I replaced the switch and checked continuity again, all is good. However, when testing the controller on the Xbox the switch isn't responding.

Shorting out the switch contacts on the reverse of the board makes no difference. So I'm now stumped as to what this problem could be.

Any recommendations as to what to try next?

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1537: Ideas on why controller will not turn off off USB

Wed, 22 Jan 2020 13:12:52 -0700

I recently took apart my controller in order to replace the RB Switch as it had stopped working. Upon replacement of the switch and reassembly I discovered that the controller would not turn on when pressing the xbox button. Hooking it up via USB did work and the rb button was functioning properly. I considered that perhaps some of the traces had burned around the switch but it is difficult to detect any actual damage. Any thoughts on possible issues?
