• Jack lo svelto: Hi guys, I need your help. My JDM 055 has extreme right drift. That is, it remains fixed to the right without trembling, motionless. under the microscope I noticed the lack of capacitors c23 and c24. They may be the cause. I saw that they are connected to the headphone jack input. Can you tell me their value? Thank you.

Half of those marked spots are ground, the other half are the AN+ rail (power for the sticks), so if those are indeed shorted, the first thing I'd suspect is you have some solder or damage on one of the AN+ spots that is causing it to touch the ground plane. After that you're getting into the AN+ Regulator being bad.

I desoldered pots and there are shorted pins on pcb(marked by red dots)
Any ideas?

Which version of the board are you dealing with there?

I'm sorry that I forgot to mention it.
The board is BDM-010.
By the way, I happened to find out that the touchpad is powered by a 3.3V supply that only comes up when the DualSense is powered on. And it works well as a POWER_OK signal on my external power management PCB.
I hope this information helps anyone who needs it.

Thank you again, RDC.
The information you shared has really helped a lot of people, and I'm one of them. I've not only modded a DualSense but also an Xbox One controller, and I referred to your PCB scan information for both.

If 1.8v will do it, then you can just use the Analog stick power rail and can tap onto any of those solder joints there for the POTs.

Thanks! I already tested the 1.8V rail. It is indeed only present when the DualSense is powered on. But it doesn't work as POWER_OK—it can't keep the external PCB powered. I may need to look into the PCB design.
By the way, are there any other test points at a higher voltage, like 3.3V, that also only go high when the DualSense is powered on?
Thanks again!

Hi, RDC.
I'm trying to gut a DualSense and use its board as the controller for a hitbox(a stickless arcade controller). I'm looking for a test point that goes low when the DualSense is off and high when it's on, or vice versa. It's for the POWER_OK signal on an external power management PCB. Any idea which test points I could use?
Thanks for sharing.

Some of those I do not have the values for, as I'm not 100% sure what they put on there. My best guess would be some kind of TVS Diode, but the thing should still work with those missing. Your first image has ?5 and ?7 missing, that board should still work, again if they are TVS Diodes. The second one has R9, R10 and ?7 missing. It for sure needs R9 and R10 (both 100ohm) then it should still work with those replaced and ?7 missing.

@RDC

Do you have the values of these missing components by any chance? They are from DualSense Edge modules.
