So I followed all the steps, got the sticks in. But when I put the controller back together it Wouldent turn on. Do you guys have any clue as to
what it could be?

 Same exact thing happened to me, just wouldn't turn back on

i think you didn't put a wire in

Does this x the issue with worn out sticks? Mine currently at idle will get stuck slightly pressing to the left, (in game, I'll be cruising left at a
snail's pace) and pressing up/forward or sometimes pressing to the right doesn't fully work (in game this causes me to either not move at all, or
move at about 2/3rds speed).
I've had them for about two years now, and they have seen some rigorous use, I tell you what. It is beginning to affect gameplay pretty badly,
though.

The options and share button are loose when I try to put it back together any suggestions?

Thank you for the guide - it helped me x a beaten up DS4 controller I found on the ea market. However, it would be nice to explain a bit more
in detail how to crack the case pieces open. Some detailed pictures with the different inside clips and hinges would be nice. Also, there is no
explanation as to how to assemble the L2/R2 triggers back together. Last, but not least, there is no explanation as to how to remove the
battery tray, in order to connect the touchpad to the motherboard.

It actually opens quite easily. I'm female with shaky ngers and didn't have a plastic pry tool. Broke the last one opening iPhones. I took a
very small at too screw driver from my electronic tool set, stuck it in at the same spot he showed and just gently pried all around. It
opened fairly easily with nothing breaking. When it was almost all the way open I did go to the opposite side and gently loosened up
thevither end, just so it would open straight. It's easy as long as you are gentle with it
Dagmar Kugler - 08/06/17

If parts to the controller should be replaced how would you know? Is there a circuit test proceedure for the mother board? How would you
know to replace other items when you are disassembling the controller? Thank you for the assistance with my controller and your time you
have taken to help. Have a great one!
