Hi all, I have worked on 2 JDM-030 recently and for both repairs, I replaced both of the analog stick. I got the almost the same results when I tested both of the controllers using Gamepad Tester website. Both analog is not centered anymore. When I push the left analog upwards, it will affect the right analog movement. For the right analog, I am only able to move up and down and left and right does not work.
I just checked the potentiometer on the left analog and it seems that the disc was not sitting correctly and that resolved the issue. Weirdly, the analog still does not show that it is in the center position on Gamepad Tester. I did try to use the controller on the PS4 and there's no drift. Is it safe to say that the repair is successful?

Gamepadtest not work with all gamepad, try thisIn Control Panel, open Game Controllers. To do this, use one of the following methods: ... Click your game controller, and then click. Properties.On the Test tab, test the game controller to verify functionality.
Congrats!As I explained, its expected that the center is off after replacing the potis or potis/stick combo.Sometimes more, sometimes less, but there is no way to that you can get it back to factory calibration, some people have good success by trying to match the new potis to the values of the old ones as close as possible, but that still doesn't account for everything.All in all its better to keep the originals if possible, I only replace the potis/stick if a good clean doesn't fix it or there is a bigger problem.
Break plastic of capacitor in 3 piece, and with solder remove pin.
I wanted to practice removing the potentiometer the right way
Use a soldering iron and wick, hot air ain't the right tool IMO to remove a THT potentiometer.
why cant use wide soldering chisel tip ? or knife one. both work great to desolder pot in 1 touch.
Soldering iron and wick they must be of good material, personally i like the desoldering gun would be better.
Desoldering guns are nice, but not required, I use mine when removing the whole analog stick assembly, and since a little bit of solder is always left, I use the hot air station carefully just to make sure I can pull it out in one part.Its all a matter of practise and I'm getting some practise.The reason I suggested wick over a desoldering gun is that wick is cheap and it always pays to be able to use it. btw., the cheap knockoff analog sticks I got have plastic that will melt way faster than the original ones..
At what temperature do you set for the hot air? I will try to use wick more often now that I learnt that it has to be used with flux.
Yeah, I did notice that the OEM analog sticks tend to melt way faster than the original. I've been trying to source reasonably priced yet almost original analog sticks on Aliexpress but there is so few.
But I did find the Polyshine, at least I think that they are genuine, they move really smooth and look/feel like good quality:https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001297126558.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.76a54c4dn3S2k0This seller also marks the different analog sticks with "OEM" and "original", I got the "original" ones and really think they're the real deal.

original favorshine have F logo. same with alps
AliExpress is not good for buy component. Better buy on seller of ebay. I buy 1 analog xbox one 3,50 euro and work fine
Again, the Polyshine I've found seem to be real, at least they are of good quality.It seems that there is way more fakes for ALPS than Polyshine..
You have solder them?
these analogs i had installed them in a ps4 pro controller that did not fix the charging, when i mounted them they were full of dead zones, and i had bought them from aliexpress, in the end i bought from an italian ebay seller 2 alps and they worked fine, and cone show the photo one has the f and the other does not.https://ibb.co/Sx4PjQL
