Title: Accidentally took off a resistor on PS5 controller
Post by: Otrebor49 on October 06, 2022, 08:29:53 PM

Replacing control sticks in a PS5 controller, I accidentally took off a resistor. After soldering the new control sticks I put it back together. It all seems to work fine but I?m wondering what that resistor does.

I circled the resistor I took off.

Thanks in advanced!

Not sure that's a Resistor, it's more likely a Ferrite Bead, and it's on the 5v External rail. It will not have any effect on the controller working at all, but it will not charge in a charging station thru that External jack now. If you want to restore that function, just jumper it back closed with solder or a small wire. If you don't ever plan to toss it in a charging station, the it can just stay like that forever.
