Restoring Broken Controller S for the Original Xbox Retro Console Restoration Repair
In this weeks episode I will restore this broken Xbox controller S. The cable is broken, and the shell is yellowed. Also the thumb sticks need some restoration. When I tested it I was able get it working briefly but then the cable seemed like it was completely done. The footage of the controller connecting briefly was the last time I was able to see any signs of life. But luckily, I was able to pin point the issue so I could still repair the old cable and not change it completely giving it a few more years. The shell was also not properly closed and after opening it I found some pieces that held the screws had broken off. I hate this type of devices because as you might notice I cant use my screwdriver set to open all the screws. I also used a correct size screwdriver without changeable tip. The problem is that most of these screw drivers dont have magnetic tips so its sometimes frustrating to get the screws out. Other vise the controller was pretty simple to disassemble and there wasnt too many parts.
