Follow this guide to replace the motherboard on a Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense controller. This will fix a drifting joystick or damaged charging port.

This guide assumes that the joysticks are soldered onto the replacement motherboard. Because the joysticks are calibrated during manufacturing, replacing them or transferring them to a new motherboard will result in uncalibrated joysticks that are likely to drift.

This guide requires desoldering and soldering the vibration motor wires.

Note: This guide is for DualSense controllers with an FCC ID ending in 1. Check the back of your controller to verify your model. If yours ends in A, there will be differences in the internal design.

Where can you buy a new motherboard in the UK?

Cool tutorial, all we need now is to know which chip slows the input 5v current to only push 1.5A then we would be able to get a service which can enable fast charge. Karl brook.
