What's going on everybody welcome this is Monster Mark 78 so today I'm gonna go over how to fix or replace the R2 button on your PS4 controller. Now before you get started if you have any questions guys at all don't hesitate to contact me on my Instagram that's Monster Mark 78. I'll put that in the description below so you can see how it's spelled or put the link in there so you guys can go do it. But send like pictures to my Instagram saying hey man I'm stuck. This is the part of that or hey this didn't work for me. But is this part look like it's damaged just whatever you need to do to kind of if it's gonna help you send me pictures send me comments through DM on Instagram and maybe I can help you guys. But I put my other controller video with the head jack that got broken and most people it works for them. Some people didn't so don't think this is the solution that you know it's gonna solve everything it might be it might not be. But you don't know to open the controller and find out at least you'll know how to do that and you can help someone else that has a problem. But I hope you enjoy make sure you guys smash a like button and subscribe if you guys are new to the channel let's dive in. So guys the first thing we're gonna do is take these four screws out in the back of the controller right here. Okay so it's gonna be one two three and four and make sure you guys are taking your time if you need a positive video positive video. And then once we do this we'll get right back into it. So next guys is taking the controller apart and kind of breaking open we're not breaking it but opening it up and you can see mine's kind of already done a little bit but. You're gonna take the edge I like to do that pull it down squeeze and try to get the grip if you need to you can put a screwdriver or whatever just to hold it and kind of re-grip so it doesn't close back. So you're gonna pinch it and then you're gonna pull and it's gonna open up just like that. And obviously you want to you can just do one side like that and the whole thing will open up or both sides but make sure that you are taking your time or you're not yanking it once you break it because there is a tab that you need to take out right here. This white one so be careful. Alright so we're gonna take the tab out right now just make sure you don't pull it out from the black part of the back of the controller you want to pull it out next to where the battery is. It's just easier to put back in but you can use your fingers it's not a big deal but I like to use the needle in those pliers just because it's easier and it's just precautions in case anything happens but you can grab the needle in those pliers and reach all the way down to the blue part. Now the blue part is a little thicker because you don't want to pull from like the middle of the tab and then break it or mess it up in anyway. So you're gonna pull that out and see if you open like that. So guys what's next is checking visually and inspecting the R2 button. Now this is just before you actually take the battery or move to the side and take the green chip out for the spring before you do that whole process. Just check visually on the button to make sure it's moving and make sure nothing is loose or broken. Because sometimes you can just decide off that and looking at it and saying okay it's just the plastic piece that snapped and you have to replace that. So you have the little spring on the side mind's working but I'm showing you this in case your spring is messed up or it came loose or you need to replace it or it got lost whatever it is. And I'll show you how to replace that very shortly. But like I said visually inspect it, make sure everything's good and I'll show you how to take the button off right now. So you can see it's a little like latched on right now and you can see I can't pull up anymore. And usually what I do is I'll place my fingers just like this and then I'll push down and then lift up from the front like that up and over the latch and then it should just pop out. Sometimes you have to pull a little bit harder. Just take it out but make sure you guys know how to put it back in. You're going to place it down and it's going to pop in and then push forward so that way it's latched on and then you're good to go. Now you can check the rubber underneath and it's like a little connector too so you can replace those which I'll put the link in the description. And those are very cheap. It's like I don't even know like five bucks or something or six bucks but you don't really need to take everything apart. I think you can pop it up underneath and then once it comes up you can just kind of pull it out and then replace that. So that might be damaged or worn out instead of having to take the whole controller out in the spring which is kind of nice. Okay guys so we're going to get to the spring part right now so really really quick. The reason why you can't take the spring out is because it's a little black piece right there from the plastic in the front it's coming through. So you have to kind of pull this part right here the plastic up and then out and pull the spring out because it's in the way. That's the reason why we have to take it apart. So we're going to take the battery we can kind of move it to the side on this one we don't need to take it apart and take it out of the connector. Just like that. We'll set it to the side and then we will grab the little needle and those pliers and we will take a little blue tab out. It might be orange whatever color it is for you and kind of reach down there. It might take a few times which sometimes it takes me and then once you grab a grip just kind of pull on it and then there you go. And then just like that and it should stay out shouldn't like pop back in randomly. And then we'll do is we'll grab the screwdriver and then we will take the little screw out right here. And like I said before guys you can pause the video anytime you need to. So it's easier for you guys to you know what to you know kind of be like oh what's happening and then we'll take that and move it to the side right now. So it looks like this. Okay guys so now that we have the screw out everything in the battery you guys can see on the left. Actually you can see how loose the controller is first. Like if you put it down see how it's moving. You can actually take that black piece out the plastic and kind of pull it away. But I'd like to keep it just because it keeps everything kind of connecting you don't want any buttons falling out or. And then you don't have to put the buttons back in so I kind of keep it close to it. And you can kind of just pull up on it to kind of get out of it but you can see right here how it's moving now past it. So you're be able to pull the spring away and that way you can kind of replace it. Like I said you can you can keep it up like this which we're going to do or you can try to take the black plastic part away from it. And then do it that way but I just like to leave it like this just easier for me. And then we'll go through that and if anything if it's easier for you guys the other way than leave in the comments saying it's easier to take it off so people know. Okay so we're going to take out the spring right now and you're going to use your new nose pliers just a little bit easier just to grab the spring. Use your fingers but the nose pliers like I said it's just easier to hold on to this plastic part I like to hold the gray parts and then push the black part down with my fingers. But on here guys you're going to grab the top of the spring so you open up the nose pliers you can grab it and push it down and then pull it out and up. And then the spring will be straight up in the air on that side like that so you can see it moving. And I'll show you how to put that back in after. It's pretty easy but what you want to do when you're trying to take it out right now. And like I said you can use your fingers but on this one you can grab your new nose pliers and you're going to try to just pull it out of that little area. So I ended up by grabbing the bottom of the spring guys and kind of just pulling up and out just like that. That's pretty much how you take it out. So after this guys will be a fast forward to putting the controller back together. So hopefully you enjoyed. Make sure you smash the like button, subscribe button and leave in the comments anything that helped or didn't help for other people. That way it can actually help them learn. Anyway guys on the spring it was easier for me to hold it with my fingers and kind of pinch it and then put it over the hook. And once it's in there just push the spring down and pop it back in place. And next guys will be putting the button back on so get that ready. So you
