EL6 ALPS 2.1K for PS5 controller
4x Replacement analog joystick is used in PlayStation 5 DualSense and some rare PS4 wireless controllers. The OEM repair part was made by ALPS and comes with 2.1K side trim pot resistors. PS5 DualSense uses two kinds joysticks from two different manufacturers. EL6 was made ALPS, while EL7 was from Favor Union (FU). EL6 and EL7 are interchangeable with each other
It’s a hard time to de-solder the problem module with as many as 14 prongs. We figured out possible ways for your reference:
✔ Replace the white disc alone even without soldering
In some cases, you can just replace the little wheel in the potentiometer sensor to solve some specific problems like: Dead spot, blind spot, dead zone, creeping, or not as responsive as it should be
✔ Replace the potentiometer sensor alone with an iron
According to some estimates, 80% chances of joystick problem was caused by the potentiometer. In another words, the rotary mechanism and the tactile switches are not the problem. You can simply replace the side potentiometer sensor alone to solve most of the problems
✔ A heat gun to replace the whole module
This is the most suggested for an experienced soldering expert
✔ Experts with a normal iron to replace the whole unit
For a soldering expert with no professional de-soldering wick braid, solder sucker pump or hot air rework station at hand. We suggest crushing the problem joystick into small enough pieces with a pair of pliers. It will be more easier than de-soldering the entire 14Pin unit
✔ By professional technicians in a cellphone repair shop
