Dualsense repair
- Thread starter Would_you_kindly
- Start date
Sent my to Sony two weeks ago, one of the face buttons stopped working. Seems like they were ok repairing it even if it was a few days past the initial one year warranty, didn't have to pay for anything. They already sent it back but it hasn't arrived yet.
Had two hardware issues this gen, first time I ever had hardware issues on consoles.

shouldnt it still be under warranty then ? try contacting Sony, if it does, replacing it will only cost a few dollars for shipping

How is controller surgery less intimidating than calling in a warranty lolI don't know anything about warranty it's too adult for me

you might be able to do it through the chat feature on ps websiteHate phone conversations my anxiety goes through the roof
@Would_you_kindly
I don't like phone conversations, too (unless it's with family or friends).
Anyways, if you want to "gamble" check local, classified ADS (online) and see if there is anyone that can do repairs in your city. Back in the day, I didn't want to chance fixing it on my own, so I found a guy who fixed my PHAT PS3 (I know it's not a controller, but same difference).

Funny thing is that the drift seems to have gone away not long after I posted the thread I'm sure it will be back tomorrow though when I'm playing ff16 & Clive will be turning left all the time

Did you update it?
I have only had one issue ever with the Dualsense controllers and it was after updating.
Controller kept turning microphone on and off and wouldn’t work in game or in apps like Netflix.
Was fine in the Home Screen.

Yeah they're both the latest firmware , funny thing is the other one that had stick drift I tried using instead of the one I'm using now & it was working fine until I updated it & suddenly it started drifting

Have you managed to solve the issue? I have had stick drift on my Dualsense that came with the console, was under warranty so sent it to be repaired. Spilled water on that same controller, took it apart cleaned and dried what I could and ordered a Dualsense "foil" (whatever those transparent things that go in it on all the buttons are called) and fixed it. I would suggest checking out Tronicsfix on YT, hopefully it is just some dirt or bits that is stuck in the analog sticks, otherwise you would have to take off the old and soder on new ones, which I never did.
Also my other controller recently stopped working via bluetooth. It works fine if I set it to communicate via the cable, although I have to unplug and plug the cable back in each time I start or change to a different game, or wanna watch YT or Twitch for example. Very weird.

I didn't have a screw driver that fit of so I just took off the black plastic but & stuck something thin in the gap & moved it around , drift has gone for now lol
