PlayStation®3 General Discussion

Two of my controllers have had coffee poured on them and are now working fine. OK the buttons on one of them are a little sticky but the more I use it the better it gets.

All I did was leave it some where warm. Airing cupboard I think it was, for a couple of days. After that one switched on with no problem and the other I took apart and found that a wire had come loose, simply pushed it back in and on it came.

So there is hope

I had a similar situation and put the controller on a radiator to dry it out as much as possible. The circle button was still very sticky afterwards, but continous play eventually got it back to normal.

Just make sure your mate gets the sticky controller when he comes round again, so that you can kick his butt in whatever you're playing!

I disassembled my DS3, cleaned the plastic and buttons with hot soapy water, then put it back together.

Have a look for some videos on youtube.

HA! That's cool, but could see myself panicking during a boss fight/shootout and accidentally pouring beer down myself having hit the wrong stick!

I spilt a drink on one of mine other day, taking apart the the pad is very easy, putting it back together again was abit tricky mainly the L2 & R2.

But got there in the end and The pad feels like new again LOL I really went to work on it cleaned every part.

When CoD4 came out I was so hooked that I couldn't be bothered to take the dog for a walk a couple of times, I soon put CoD4 down after he ***** on 2 dualshocks in a week.

they are a terror to put back together, I took my apart put it back together I have misaligned something so UP on the D pad no longer registers and doesn't press properly, ahh well not to worry I have a 2nd pad anyway, just buy a new one of it starts to annoy me lol

That is quite simply genius!! But i Think Fizzy is right. Also the last thing I need while playing a beat-um-up is beer!! Bad enough already!!
