Saturday repair project time!

My partners’ thousands of hours in Rocket League have taken their toll on these poor PS5 controllers.

Thumbsticks replaced on two controllers. Pretty basic stuff. 5 philips screws and a few ribbon cables.

The next two controllers have drift issues, so they’re getting new thumbsticks, which will require desoldering the old ones and soldering in the new ones.

I have no problem with soldering, but still struggle with desoldering.

Looking forward to using a Xmas gifts for the first time though - this cordless soldering iron has some amazing features!
@sawaba oh wow that’s cool. What’s the name and model of this?
