Einleitung
If your Xbox One controller has LT/RT issues (or needs manual adjustment), the issue may be due to the magnets. Use this guide to take the controller apart and re-secure the magnets.
Guide warnings
- TO AVOID MELTING THE PLASTIC FRAME WHEN INSTALLING HEATSHRINK TUBING, ADJUST THE LIGHTER/TORCH TO THE LOWEST RELIABLE IGNITION POINT.
- If you use a butane torch, test the setting you are going to use on something you do not mind damaging BEFORE working on the controller. Use ABS to practice.
- Holding the flame once the heatshrink seals may damage the controller frame.
- This is a final solution. Be prepared to write the controller off if this does not fix the problem or makes it worse.
- This fix is specific to Model 1537/1697 controllers.
- This procedure WILL VOID ANY PRESENT WARRANTY. Make sure the warranty is expired if you care about preserving it!
- My controller is 17 months old. It is long out of warranty.
Guide notes
- This guide does not apply to Model 1708 controllers. The procedure to fix the problem is different as heat shrink tubing is not required. However, it can be used as a starting point.
- If you misalign the magnets, you may need a controller frame. Use caution when applying glue. Use of an alignment mark is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

In diesem Schritt verwendetes Werkzeug:Precision Utility Knife$4.99
-
Before cutting the heatshrink, make TWO alignment marks (non-crossing).
-
After making alignment marks, cut the heatshrink off using a utility knife.
-
Using the old heatshrink as a reference, cut two new pieces.
-
-
-
After cutting the heatshrink tubing, do a test alignment before applying glue.
-
These controllers use double sided tape from the factory. Note the dimple side and clean the magnet and frame. Goo Gone can be used on difficult residue.
-
Once the parts are reasonably clean, do a test alignment and apply tape for final installation.
-
-
-
After verifying the alignment is correct, apply glue to the controller. It is best to let it cure for 24 hours if possible.
