12 Solutions (some new) for resolving analog stick problems with a Sony DS4 Gamepad. Many involve cleaning from the outside, but also taking the controller apart and cleaning on the inside. Soldering fixes are also discussed. I also show how to properly test the controller, I explain dead zones, and I get honest about the risks involved with selffixing. Finally, I include teardown instructions, as well as how to put it back together.
