But because of the high cost of the device, many do not dare to personally disassemble it. If there is experience in repairing small household appliances, it will not be so difficult to disassemble the joystick from ps3.

Important points before disassembling

In cases where the user has no experience, it is best to contact the service center, where you just need to ask for a repair, or a simple cleaning. For such frivolous work, companies will take only a symbolic value. If you want to make repairs yourself, the following tips will tell you how easy it is to disassemble with the help of available tools.

First of all, you need to prepare your workplace, phone and special tools. With the help of the phone, you will need to take photographs of each step taken in order not to accidentally confuse the order and break something.

For work, you will need a convenient table on which there is nothing but tools. Otherwise, some details may simply be lost among other trash.

After this, you need to prepare special Phillips screwdrivers. Best to take a few. It is not known which one can work better without damaging the thread.

It is also necessary to prepare a soap solution with a small amount of cleaning agent. Or use alcohol with a water content of 30%. Otherwise, the board may be damaged. In addition, purchase a cloth to wipe the glasses. She does not leave a pile and carefully wipes hard-to-reach places.

Attention! The repairman himself needs to work his hands so as not to leave greasy marks.

It is not recommended to disassemble the device, in order to just see what is inside. Otherwise, the controller may be damaged. Also, it is not advisable to independently change some details. It will be very difficult to find original spare parts, and to put Chinese counterparts is not welcome. There is a big risk that you just ruin the device.

In addition, disassembling can help in some cases:

• When some buttons simply do not work. It is possible that a decent layer of dust was collected between the contacts, or the hair was wound around the contacts.
• When replacing the device battery.
• With a simple cleaning of the insides of the device. Very often, dust and dirt get into the joystick, as well as food residues that interfere with work.
• In all other cases, there may be serious problems with the board. In such cases, it is enough to take the gamepad for repair, or send it to the manufacturer in order to eliminate the deficiencies.
