How to Fix Xbox Series (Model 1914) Controller Stick Drift Without Soldering

Einleitung

Is your Xbox controller analog stick moving on its own? This common issue, known as "stick drift," is often caused by dirt, wear and tear, or physical damage.

The first step is always to clean around the analog stick. If the drift persists, this guide will show you how to replace the internal potentiometer—the sensor that detects stick movement—without requiring any soldering.

This video provides detailed information about the components of the trimmer potentiometer sensor, including the wiper.

In this guide, the model of the Xbox Series controller used was model 1914, but this process also works for previous models.

Before you begin this repair, make sure the controller is off and remove the batteries from the back of the device.

Es no funciona ya que directamente los contactos de carbono de los potecimetros son los que están ya desgastados debido a la friccion de funcionamiento, directamente se debe de reemplazar los potecimetros completos, no únicamente el sensor de contacto.
