Hey everyone, welcome to HowFixit. In this video guide, I'll show you how to
replace the mainboard on a DualSense Edge controller.
The following tools are required to disassemble the controller:
Phillips 1 screwdriver Tweezers
Plastic opening tools
I recommend using a magnetic mat during the repair process, which is helpful in the case
of the DualSense controller. Keep track of each screw throughout disassembly so you
can put them back in the right places - this will help you successfully reassemble your
controller. And don't worry about losing any screws; all of them will definitely remain
on the magnetic mat. I left links where to buy all the necessary tools in the description.
On the back of the controller, push the latch to the side until the cover is released.
Next, raise the release lever attached to the stick module, and slide out of its slot.
Remove the L1 and R1 buttons by prying them up using a plastic tool.
Next, carefully remove the back panel of the DualSense Edge controller.
Remove 7 screws on the back of the controller housing and 2 screws under the L1 and R1 buttons.
Carefully remove the spring with the panel. Remove two more screws.
Now you can open the DualSense Edge controller housing.
Turn over the battery and disconnect the cable from the mainboard using a plastic tool.
Press on this black part with your finger, then remove the two screws and the metal bracket.
Carefully remove the back button module using a plastic tool.
Disconnect the cable and remove the mainboard from the controller housing.
Now you can replace the mainboard of the DualSense Edge controller.
Depending on the revision of the DualSense Edge controller, the mainboards may differ;
check the part number HD5 94V-0 E253117 on the replacement mainboard.
Connect the battery and check the contact with the main board.
