    PS3 Controller

    For grins-n-giggles....I had on older PS3 controller....sixaxis (no dual shock)

    The analog joystick thumb controls were sticky and wouldn't return to center.

    Since I hadn't done any soldering in a while, I did some research and Mouser had the joystick assemblies.

    So....popped them off and put the new ones in. Works like a champ.


    I read something about a 4 pin varistor, but I needed the 3 pin. Here is the PN: RKJXV1224005

    I love fixing old stuff.

      Nice normally to sort them when they get sticky like that spray some dexoit or Wd40 in the centre of the joy stick it will free up instantly and still work fine

          Re: PS3 Controller

          yeah...the sticks were like $5 or something. Cleaning didn't help mine. There was an interesting note about the sticks. You're not supposed to let them go to their physical limits. there was a 40 degree limit or something. Damn...now i'll have to find that pdf again.

          the main reason i did it was to dust off the skills. and its fun. i posted because it seemed like few posts i saw didn't have good info or they went to sites selling "refurbished" joysticks.

              Sorry bud, those are completely the wrong ones and the caps. You may find those in cheap knock off clone pads but never in the originals only ALPS.

              The caps are a specific shape and size as well so you have to be carefull what you buy when fixing controllers. Quite subtle differences.

                      by master3112
                      I have an ASUS ROG Strix- G513IH-HN008, motherboard G513-6050A3249301- MB-A04 (A4)

                      When I received the device, the device has no function. After an investigation, I found that the PWM CONTROLLER RT6575B (U6100) is getting warm and there is a short circuit at the 3V3 output. This normally supplies 3V3 for the embedded controller IT5571E-128 (U301). When measuring and analyzing with a thermal imaging camera, I found that some components are damaged: SLG4E42553VTR (U8500), IT5571E-128 (U301), LAN RTL8111H (U450), LOGIC 74LVC1G08GW (U1900), RT6575B (U6100) All these components are on...

                      Help with freemotion incline trainer with controller comm error
                      by ronnygracias
                      The treadmill was working fine, one day the belt snapped and after checking the unit I also noticed that the display is now showing the Controller comm error. So I opened it up and the treadmill had two boards. One is a power supply board and the other is the motor controller. I noticed there was a mouse nest, so I took power supply board out, cleaned it up, replaced the big capacitor and that did nothing. Then I took apart the motor controller and cleaned that up, and when I plugged it in, it started right up. I thought I fixed it. But when the belt arrived, I installed it and tried to power...

                      Tankless hot water heater controller board not powering up when power is applied
                      by sam_sam_sam
                      I recently bought a used tankless hot water heater and the controller board is completely dead no power up when power is applied the display board works however the main controller board does not work correctly at all the fuse is good

                      I bought a used replacement controller board that also had issues that I was able to fix and now the tankless water heater works correctly now

                      However I would like to know if I could figure what happened to this controller board if possible

                      Tomorrow I will take some better pictures of both side of both boards

                      by sam_sam_sam
                      This happened last Saturday and today I finally had time this morning before I went to work to replace two non brand capacitors

                      I will let you be the judge weather or not these are bad or not according to the blue ESR meter that I am using

                      I am comparing them to a brand new one that I installed

                      The display came back on and the programming was not lost which I was surprised by I would have thought that when the display went blank that so did the memory as well

                      I going to let it run for several days before I remount back on the wall next to the...

                      Modifing a Battery Spot Welder because of Controller Issues
                      by sam_sam_sam
                      I keep having the same exact issue with these battery spot welder controller boards

                      They either do one of two things

                      One the controller does not send the signal for the transformer fire which is a very common problem with this controllers micro controller failure

                      Or

                      The controller has some malfunction which means that it does not cycle the pluses more than once or none at all and should do it any where from 1 pluse to 20 pluses because you can not change the setting does not respond to its input micro controller failure

                      This...
