Re: What have you fixed lately?
I've fixed a PS5 Dualsense controllers left stick drift by replacing the potentiometer with one that that is meant to be drift proof(Aknes TMR). I had to buy a new soldering iron from AliExpress and a PCB vice from Amazon, could have done with a new set of eyes too!
I was unsuccessful with my attempt last weekend and spent hours trying to remove the lead free solder which has a much higher melting point so had to give up, so I purchased 5 metres of KESTER LEADED SOLDER Sn63Pb37 for £5 which has a very low temperature melting point and with this I was able to remove the old solder from the PCB holes which are very small and install the new potentiometer.
These controllers cost £60-£70 each and I have 3 to fix so financially this is a success.
