Chosen Solution
I have the old ds4 with jdm-001 motherboard. When I move left analog up in ds4windows I see l2 input and it stops as soon I move analog to right, down or left. Same thing happens when I move right analog to left it triggers r2 press (it stops when moving analog to up, right, down). Someone opened the controller before, it’s posibble someone messed it up. Any ideas?
I heard about a similar issue. The controller was recording a movement of a thumbstick every time a L2/R2 was pressed.
The problem was the wear of a sensor responsible for moving up and down of the analog stick. The solution was installing a new sensor.
I saw a few videos where people tried to clean the sensors with IPA, but it was a short time solution, and the issue came back after some time.
I would suggest you to try replacing the analog stick mechanism on your own (if you have any experience with using a soldering iron). That’s not as hard as you may think :)
The only method that worked for me is just put your mouth on the L2 or R2 (whichever one that makes the analog stick move). Then blow really hard and do the same thing to the analog stick that doesn’t work. Hopefully I helped you guys :)
The problem is buttons circuit and main board is not connecting each other perfectly
