Replacing analogs requires experience and the right equipment!

● Issue Description

Calibrating the PS5 Edge requires adding a wire (PHOTO) that connects two points on the analog module. Supplying 1.8V to the top test point is necessary for the calibration process and for permanently saving the calibration data in the controller.

● Repair Steps

The solder pads on the motherboard are very delicate and can easily come off — be careful!

1. Set the hot air station to 420°C.
2. Set the soldering iron to 420°C as well.
3. Apply flux and add a bit of fresh solder to all pins.
4. Heat the area evenly until the solder on all legs becomes fully melted and shiny.
5. Carefully remove the old analog stick.
6. Clean the pads with flux and solder wick if needed.
7. Place the new analog stick, apply flux again, and solder all pins gently.
8. Add extra wire to the top test point. (PHOTO)
