Hello! Everything will be OK.
I just noticed that I blew this capacitor (or filter?) from a JDM-050. I'm about to replace it with an equivalent from a donor board that rests in peace today. The thing is, I tried the controller without it and saw that the signals appear to work with complete normality. No stuttering, no shaking, nothing.
So my question is, what does this component do?
My personal guess is that it serves the purpose of calibrating the signal somehow, by either stretching the range or moving the stick in a specific direction to center it without the need for a variable resistance. Or maybe it stabilizes the signal somehow. But that's why I'm asking. I don't really know what it does.
Please help me. Thank you always for the help
