Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller Series 2: Why is there something rattling around under my right trigger?

Sat, 18 May 2024 00:22:19 -0700

If you were to shake my controller, you could hear something that sounds like a screw rattling around inside. Sometimes when I pick it up and try to pull the right trigger at seemingly presses against whatever is rattling around and cannot fully be pulled. Anyone have a link to a tear down good for the controller just so I can get inside.

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1537: How to fix a right analogue stick

Sat, 17 Feb 2024 10:02:15 -0700

My right analogue stick has a constant pull upwards causing ingame characters to look up constantly, the left analogue stick is working perfectly, I took the controller apart to see if theres any damage on the module but it looked pristine. In the image I added it shows the controller when I am not touching it and shows the offset amount, Y rotation is the right analogue sticks vertical input and X rotation is its horizontal input, I have tried multiple times to calibrate it to no avail. Does anyone know whats wrong with it or a fix for it?

Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller Series 2: What are the batteries underneath the battery for?

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 22:21:16 -0700

I'm talking about the two silver circular batteries that sit underneath the actual rechargeable battery. I included a photo.

I'm dealing with a controller that suffered water damage but would power on when it was plugged in. I wanted to open it up and see if I could just clean it out to get the battery charging but if not planned to replace the battery. Cleaned it up, put it back together and now it wouldn't turn on even when plugged in. Now that I replaced the battery and the battery contacts, it still does not power on. I did notice discoloration (burn marks?) on one of the circular batteries underneath. Short of the actual board being bad this is the only thing I could think of but I'm not sure exactly what their function are and if could cause this issue.

I have my Elite controller that works very well, it definitely has a lot of hours under its belt but never had an issue with it until out of the blue, when I push forward on the thumb stick to walk forward, the controller acts as if im pressing the Right trigger. Has anyone had this issue before and what can be done to fix.

I recently replaced the headphone jack on my controller as it had issues, the new one works except the mic on my headset won’t work at all. I know the headset is fine as it works perfectly on my laptop, could it be a loose connection somewhere or should i consider a new controller?

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708: What is easier to replace? The expansion port or the motherboard?

Tue, 17 Mar 2020 21:19:25 -0700

The expansion port on my controller stopped working, haven't opened it up but It is definitely the expansion port (the 3.5mm adapter works just fine in other controllers) I was wondering if the best option for fixing it would be replacing the single port or the whole motherboard.(I have no idea which one its connected to)

Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708: Left joystick drifting to right. (Xbox one for Windows 10 )

Fri, 16 Aug 2019 07:40:57 -0700

So when I press any button on the controller the left joystick is starting to drift. but when I open any app it gets good. But when i press a random button again its drifting again.

I’ve tried:

windows 10 reinstall,

controller calibrating,

controller replugging,

controller replugging from usb 2.0 to 3.0 and the other way around,

driver checking,

deplugging mouse and keyboard,

turn off the game bar.

I have an okay...ish work laptop and an Xbox one (which I don't use anymore, I have a Xbox one S), I was wondering what would happen if I simply swapped the hard drives, that way I can have a PC for work. I don't need anything powerful and am aware of breaching the user agreements. Could this be a simple swap and away we go?

Xbox Series X Wireless Controller: My controller is recognized in windows but the led doesnt turn on.

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 14:02:50 -0700

My Xbox controller, which I was installing TMR sticks as soon as I finished installing the sticks, the controller gets connected, and Windows recognizes it as wireless_device, but it doesn't work at all. I installed the right stick first. I tested it and calibrated, and it worked fine, but as soon as I finished the left stick, the controller got recognized, but the LED indicator didn't turn on, and there was no input. The traces were all perfect, and no missing components. Is it the TMR's fault?. I will try desoldering it later, but I want answers, please!!!. thanks.

Update: At a certain point when I barely connect the two boards together it shows the led and if I kinda move even so slightly it stops. And I hear this buzzing noise very low from the controller
