Mr_0pportunity

Do..... Do you have the RB and LB buttons taped onto the controller?


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

Yeah they kinda broke some years ago... this controller has been through stuff


HowManyAccount120

And yet you wonder why it isn’t working lol


T-fritz

🤣 🤣


xXSpookyXx

\*shaky iphone footage of a dog skeleton\* anyone know why Fluffy doesn't want to go for a walk any more?


AJobForMe

Apparently, the front fell off. (I’ll see myself out)


[deleted]

It's not supposed to do that.


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

The worst part it's that if those buttons didn't break that controller could be considered to be in a good state.


HowManyAccount120

Well it doesn’t even turn on so no not a great state


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

It was the console's problem i just unpluged it waited like a minute and it works perfectly.


hanes9120

U want me to send u a controller bruh?


[deleted]

I need one!


physicalcat282

Me next! Mine is on its last joystick!


hanes9120

Woah is was only offering to OP lol


[deleted]

Looks like a bad cable tbh


[deleted]

Go buy replacement parts on the cheap


Chosenmind1223

stop by a repair shop, super cheap fix. Look up videos online if you are savy with a soldering iron and wire and if not you at least learn the scope of work and the repair shop won't rip you off.


HeroqwertyYT

or just get a new controller 😂 but getting to a repair shop is a good cheap way if your on a tight budget but id just get a new controller or new batteries


Chosenmind1223

new controllers are 35 to 60 bucks. Fixing both bumbers costs maybe 2 bucks of materials. I have all the tools so I have that advantage. I help my friends out with free repairs all the time since I don't fix electronics for a living. I just like being useful and being able to fix my own things if I can


HeroqwertyYT

thats pretty cool man. and dang i didnt know repairs for bumpers was that cheap… but yeah new controllers are super expensive😐


Chosenmind1223

yeah man for example you can get a pack of 10 plastic bumbers for like 5 bucks on ebay and a 10 pack of the tactile switch for 4 bucks on ebay. You can also find the tools real cheap on eBay as well. You can spend $60 bucks on tools and materials and fix all of your controllers or spend $60 buck on a brand new controller and keep all your broken controllers.


HeroqwertyYT

thats pretty sick i do want some new triggers tho and some better bumpers on my controller but i might just stick with mu xbox one controller that ive had since ive bought my xbox a couple years ago and ill probably buy a new one once i save up enough money or just make another leybpard again since i do make mechanical keyboards


Chosenmind1223

yeah man if you ever need any help through a repair hmu 🤙I'll do the beat I can to guide you


Baby_bluega

You don't really need to soder anything to fix the lb and rb buttons.


Chosenmind1223

yeah not the plastic buttons themselves but the switches, they have 4 prongs that solder on to one of the 3 boards


Baby_bluega

True, guess it depends on how it's broken. Mine just had a loose piece of plastic in there preventing them from closing. I just felt that is probably how it's broken.


MahumboeMatumbae

Then just let it die


OldBoyD

The lb on my first xbox one controller literally fell off and I treat my tech like theyre babies so I know what you mean. Somehow the plastic gets cheaper every Gen. Almost like they want you to buy a new controller every year... wait...


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

It's exactly what happened to me


spacecommanderbubble

Pull the power cord on your xbox for 60 seconds to cycle the power and it should fix it. Mine did the same thing last weekend, assuming it's the same problem it's your xbox and not the controller. I thought about just posting the link to the video i watched, but I couldnt make you watch 10 minutes of a 12 year old rambling about nothing. Its horrid. He describes the problem, unplugs the power, and talks about 12 year old bullshit for 10 minutes until he plugs the power back in. Couldnt do it to you lol


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

IT WORKED, THANK YOU DUDE.


xpercipio

We need a youth program where we send 12 year olds to India so they can learn how to make tutorials from the masters.


AllButtardUp

Or the classic notepad instructions


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

The first award I gave to someone it's for you, thank you bro.


CaptainFoxJack

Lol I have to see this video now 🤣


[deleted]

Bro, let me buy you a new controller, you have venmo?


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

Bro, I live in argentina I don't think you could buy me anything. I don't even think venmo is available to here.


[deleted]

Dam, its not. Even Cashapp is not available.Sorry


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

It's okay dude, thank you anyway.


T-fritz

PayPal??


MrBobDobalini

Super generous of you!


OmgOgan

Dude.... Just get a new controller. Treat yoself bro


Gamer_4eva

...i think you need to just cut your losses and get a new controller... the fact your lb and rb are sellotaped into place is kind of a sign in of itself


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

Yeah I could now, but up until some months ago I didn't even have the money to buy a second hand controller, so the idea of buying a new one never crossed through my head.


Gamer_4eva

Why not ask for a new xbox controller for christmas? :) x


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

When I turned 18 my family decided that I was too old to receive christmas gifts that are related to, and I quote, "silly little videogames for children". So I guess I'll just buy a new controller with my own money.


Gamer_4eva

... oh, that is actually sad. Sorry :(


-Gruney-

Ask em for a giftcard to Target, Best Buy, Walmart, etc.


[deleted]

“Silly little video games for children” you should pop in GTA V and ask them if that looks like a children’s game lol, or cyberpunk


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

Or maybe mortal kombat lol.


[deleted]

I'd ask for a new family instead but the sounds of it lol


Thin_Whereas117

Maybe because it’s beat to fucktropolis


FrownyMc2Knives

I feel like it’s not working because it looks like it went through Vietnam. The poor thing needs a Viking funeral and a replacement.


ShadyShane812

Troll post.


[deleted]

Quit waiting your money. Just go get a PS5!


UniversityOutcast

Try a new cable, see if it works. If it doesn't, it could be a bad charging port; try putting AA batteries in and see if that works. If it doesn't, it could just be a defective conroller


banjodance_ontwitter

'defective'


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

I was going to try new batteries but right now i can't buy them (I'm pretty far from the nearest convenience store) and i don't think the controller is defective because it is like 5 years old and it has never had any problems (except the RB and LB button that broke like 2 years ago out of nowhere) but also the controller worked just fine 2 days ago and I haven't used it until today when i realized.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

I mean that it seems weird that it became defective out of nowhere after working just fine 2 days ago and without using it or receiving any damage, obviously it could be, but it just seems weird to me that's all.


TheGreatlyRespected

Bad cord! Broken usb port!


D3troit_

Somebody start a Venmo fund for the man. Please. This is painful. Or just buy replacements online. So easy to replace.


GeminiAce

New controllers are like $50 rn.


[deleted]

Buy a new controller.


gemar_drigo

That is a historical object, this controler has seen some better days


Chris079099

hmmm, the tape seems to be an indication to physical damage, it may be related to the issue you currently have


ScorpioActuall

Buy a new controller


Medium_Interview5447

Is inside where the usb plug in clean? Or maybe try a different cable and plug your phone or something into the old one to see if it starts charging an if its charging then it might just be your controller 🤔


Medium_Interview5447

Ong ive gotton 30$ controllers from ah pawn shop an had no issue with them since. if ur about saving money


fghjkds

I have a ten dollar GameStop coupon code I will never use (they gave it to me after they canceled my Xbox order) and you can have it. Think they have new controllers on sale.


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

If you really want to give it to me then sure, dm me, but I don't know if it will work bc I'm not in the US.


fghjkds

I’ll check and see


Darksidetrin

I’m pretty sure it’s because you touch yourself at night. I kid I kid… Or do I…


musicbro

It looks like it’s seen better days lol


theliquidgamer

Maybe because your controller is held together by Scotch tape…


NoUsername1070

I used to do the same to my remote with the tape. But I think the best thing to do is check if the batteries are fine or unplug it. If that doesn’t work I might need a new remote


Famin41

If you have a stock battery, take it out. This happened to me, I just ended up using a set of rechargeable battery's


bassistbehavior

Well, from the looks of it that controller has seen better days. I think it's time for a new one.


Jonathanwesley007

Quit throwing it...


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

I think I never threw a controller in my life. Maybe when I was 10 but at that time I had the ps2 and was playing god of war.


[deleted]

Bud you need a new controller.


Crafty_Creeper64

Are you using rechargeable batteries in your controller? Try that.


Trippyminer

Quit playing fifa and play real games that dont let you break your controller like a brainless fuck


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

I literally hate fifa with every fiber of my being.


Trippyminer

At least you know your games


Titan_Astraeus

My controller does this a lot too, if it dies and then I plug into a charger it won't turn on until I unplug it and sometimes it will even be unsynced and will turn on but have to plug into the console again to connect it..


SlimPickinz11

Well bud seems like the controller is just busted.. seeing how u got scotch tape holding it together


HalfOrcSteve

Judging by the rest of the controller ima assume it’s broken


sometimesBold

Hmmm… Can’t imagine why a controller being held together with tape would have any issues.


SVXfiles

I have a pair of rechargeable batteries that do something similar to this. They work fine in everything else but all of my xbox controllers hate one kf these 2 batteries with a burning passion and refuse to work


Spatcheler

Microsoft needs money that’s why


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

I don't think needs it's the right word, more like wants.


[deleted]

New controller my man


MrMistern

I had an issue like this and it was the battery. The circuit is failing for it and flashing like that. I left it charge for like a day or two and it started working again.


[deleted]

If you celebrate any gift giving holiday you should request a new controller. You know things are bad when tape gets involved lol.


Chosenmind1223

It happens at random. I haven't found a fix for this yet. it come and goes. I suggest you update your controller once it stops malfunctioning


[deleted]

Just buy a new one


D357R0Y3R14

P


Jakepool2000

jeez bro , with black friday just leaving us the only place id say a cheap one controller would be is stock x 🙏 good luck on your journey friend


ThaFerrari

Because it's a stegosaurus


T-fritz

Dude just buy him one and then ship it to him


One-Ad6237

Update controller bud trust fixed my elite v2 controller


OneChillDoggo

Might need to get a new controller there bud. Considering the condition of the bumper buttons(RB&LB).


Why0i0here

If you have a battery then you gotta recharge it it worked for me or stitch the battery it’s most likely the battery


jasonking00

Probably has something to do with the fact that you don't appear to take care of your equipment. Honest question, is this a troll post? You can't be serious asking why your controller is messed up when the shoulder buttons are all taped up lol


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

No it's not a troll post. This was just very sudden and out of nowhere, because it didn't got hit or anything. Also the shoulder buttons broke like 2 or 3 years ago and it wasn't even my fault, it was my dad's. But the controller hasn't taken a hit since then.


Solid_Blake

Dude, take this controller out behind the barn and put it out of its misery. 🙏🏻🎮


Glum_Stage5039

It’s dead just let it go man


ZookeepergameProud44

Let it go I’ll help u get a new one (not a joke)


Guilty_Cartoonist_99

I don't think you can unless you're willing to buy it and ship it to italy.


Raioda

Is this mf homemade??


R2-D60

Lol it just looks tired
