I doubt that I am the only one who has ever had this problem, but at least three times now, little plastic stabilizers on the “#2″ trigger buttons have broken off and rattled inside the controller. This wouldnt be that bad if the newly dislodged pieces didnt get stuck behind the triggers themselves. So here is the much desired disassembly of the Playstation 2 (PS2) controller:
Lets TIA!
Once again, all you need to know is on the back.
Start taking these screws out.
The shell should come right off once the screws are removed.
You can start unscrewing the screws holding the PCB in place.
You can also take the trigger covers off now.
Now just lift the PCB and plastic case right out!
As shown in the pictures below this part can get a little unwieldy, but the most important thing to remember is to not let the vibration motors dangle, or the wires could break, and turn this disassembly into a solder job. Not cool.
Lets go and take off the rubber trigger points, and the buttons from the inside of the controller. In case you were wondering, the little plastic star piece holds the buttons in place, and can just barely be seen sitting under the blue D-pad.
You can disconnect the plastic circuit board from the trigger joints.
I dont recommend doing this, but I was curious and folded up the plastic CB and it came right out of its white plastic case.
You can pop the thumbsticks right off.
Nice!
