Hey guys,
So, I'm trying to fix my Dualshock 2 that was lying around for quite some time, now. I think it has some faulty contact or something, and I say this because when I connect it, nothing happens, only the controller's red light turns on. If I press any button, there's no action at all, however, if I touch with my finger the strap marked in red in the attached picture, it sends random commands to the Playstation.
I already cleaned the contacts and the carbon pads with alcohol and cotton buds, but that didn't solve the problem.
It's probably worth mentioning that I removed both of the vibration motors from the remote because they had the wires a little snapped (more than a little to be fair) as they got stuck in the middle of the plastic joints when I opened the controller a long time ago to clean it.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot the problem I'm having and probably help me fixing it? If you guys need more pictures os close ups, I'm glad to provide them.
Best regards!
