Hi, in this video I attempt to repair a liquid damaged Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense controller that I purchased broken from eBay.
It doesn’t sync up and no buttons work. Can it be fixed?

Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things. I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things, so I hope that comes across in this ‘Trying to FIX’ series. Many thanks, Vince.

  1. Coming from someone who follows you since the early days, you've come such a long way my friend, you're a pro nowadays. Soon enough you won't even need to buy broken stuff from eBay, you'll be creating PS5 controllers out of silver paint, enamel wire and chewing gum 🙂

  2. First, it is quite amazing the mechanics and electronics in modern game pads. They're very interesting and have become somewhat complicated.

    Secondly, Duh!!! Love to see you MOD or Experiment with that controller (e.g. Nintendo HD rumble question) just to see what happens. I don't even care if it does nothing. It would be interesting.

  3. Another excellent video! The only thing I might suggest is to place any membranes you need to scrape onto a hard surface first. I am sure the mat underneath contributed to your difficulty scraping and added to the warping of the membrane.

  4. Really nice fix Vince. You got lucky with a genuine seller there. Ebay is a harsh mistress, I got a switch that "just needs an LCD connector"… it doesn't charge at all, plus when I tried to dock it and connect to wifi, the whole thing crashed and now is dead lol. You win some, you lose some I guess.

  5. If you gote some time over could you do a ps5 controller cut in half with joy con inside?
    Ps5 controler to your switch is the missing thing on your ultimate switsh!!! You could do a pro controller but not as cool but maybe more doable.
