Restoring a pair of Junk Dual Shock 2 Controllers for my Playstation 2 Retro Console Restoration
After restoring a white Playstation 2 I thought I need a pair of white controller to go along with so why not restore myself a pair. I found a pair as part of a junk lot. I ve restored few other models of the DualShock controllers. This one looks quite similar on the ouside but the inside is all new although it has very similar structure. Immediately I noticed one of the controllers was only had a broken thumb stick and the other would power on ( the light turns on) but none of the buttons worked. After opening the second controller I could see it was assembled wrong. The plastic sheet that contains the circuits for the buttons was not in it s place but it was under the main board so they circuits did not connect. I did not find out why the controller was originally opened. Also one of the wires to the vibration motor needed to be resoldered, maybe the previous owner tried to fix that and though they had broken the As usual I washed the parts with Mr. Ducktor and since the plastic was yellow
