I'll report my findings when I get a chance to play. I did not do a game test (kids were watching The British Baking Show on Netflix- can't totally interrupt that) but I feel confident the issues should be gone. In my case I got the glitching right away and after I did the above it went away.
How to get rid of poltergeist how to#
When you pop the trigger back on, it should function normally. How to get rid of poltergeist Living in the same house with a poltergeist is not only creepy, but also dangerous, because it gradually becomes stronger, and its actions turn from pranks into a real threat to life. If the R/L2 buttons popped off, make sure the little metal spring part is in between the trigger and the controller housing. using isopropyl alcohol (alcohol 90% or greater) and a cotton swab, clean the contacts on both the ribbon and the strip of contacts on the circuit board. attach the ribbon back on the posts and push it down so it's close to the foam.

put the foam back in its spot in the controller. Take it out and cut out three but of masking or electrical tape in the shape of the foam piece. One of the posts is slightly hooked so you may have to pull towards the hook, up and over. Using a tweezers, gently pull the corners of the ribbon off the posts. on the controller side will be a clear ribbon cable fastened to two posts. There should be enough wire slack from the motors. Gently pull the board out (make sure the sticks clear their holes) and lightly twist it forward so the sticks face you. Remove a small screw on the bottom of the circuit board, just left of the center. If all goes well the R/L2 triggers will stay on the controller. Open the controller from the bottom and open away like a book. Disassemble the controller with a Phillios presicion screwdriver. This method creates the possibility of corrosion on those contacts coupled with the foam flattening over time.

The connectors on the ribbon literally PRESS against a strip of contacts on the board with the help of a foam pad. Sony, in their wisdom, decided to make the ribbon cable that connects the circuit board with the pad/button contacts and sticks with the rest of the controller be "pressure" connected. The reason seems to come from the controller design. Yesterday I found the info I was looking for and figured I'd pass the info to you!

I looked up info before but must have not Googled right. A blue one I got from Goodwill a while ago and a red one I posted about in Buying and Selling. Recently I got controllers that did just that.
