Chosen Solution
Hello, I’ve got a problem with an Xbox Elite 2 Controller. I replaced the right joystick and it works fine except that it does not register a button press of the right joystick. In the process I may have knocked off two components right next to it:
Any help with identifying the missing components and what to replace them with is much appreciated. Update: I really want to know, so I got my hands on another one of these that needs fixing for a good price. This is what the components look like:
Probably the same as the capacitor next to it. usually when a component forks off in two directions like that the caps are identical.
If anyone cares, I managed to fix it. The lower component is a 32 ohm resistor. I just searched old junk PCBs and took one that fits. The upper component is a diode and this one is not critical. Also there was a broken trace, so I soldered a jumper wire from the button switch to the 32 ohm resistor and everything was working ok then. I skipped replacing the diode because it’s too much trouble in that awkward spot with the broken trace. No clue what the diode is there for. Desoldering that joystick module was a PITA because the PCB somehow eats up a lot of heat. Much more annoying to work on than the previous controllers! Now all is good :-)
