How I Fixed bumpers issue on Xbox Elite 2 Controller

[joebagodoe]

Please use extreme caution when using WD-40 near plastic. WD-40 is a solvent and weakens and erodes plastic.

This worked perfectly. I applied some force to the bumper and I could just hear something squeeze and then could click LB as many times as I wanted with it registering. Thanks!

my warranty expired, i figured why not. I used PL-100 then BAM! my poke check button works again in NHL24, thanks dude great tutorial

This does fix it however it’s not a permanent fix and I recommend spraying it at least 2 or 3 times before closing the cover back on. For me this only fixed the double clicking issue I fixed the unresponsive button by flipping the plastic piece on one of the 3 other sides because after awhile the plastic piece has an indent from pressing the button many times so flipping to the one of the other flaps to make it as if the plastic piece is new

IF THIS DOES NOT WORK:

My bumper had an issue where it would only click if I pressed hard

I cut out a small piece from the sticky part of a sticky note and attached it to the plastic part in the bumper. It adds a tiny bit of height so that gentle clicks still apply full force.

Hope this helps!

You have no fucking clue how thankful I am for this. Thank you sir.

I saw a few others mention not to use WD-40 that you show using. You will want to use "WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner Spray" or "BW-100" vs the regular WD-40. You could also use 97-99% Isopropyl Alcohol on a Q-Tip. The regular WD-40 will leave a residue that will accumulate dust and grime over time, the others are quick drying cleaners for use on electrical components and circuits.

Amazing fix, I had no idea how much that RB was holding me back. Went god mode on Fornite, as I now have perfect control. Thank you!!! P.S a flat head works just fine to remove the faceplate, just start at the bumber create a little seperation via a 45 degree rotation and continue the process slowly across both sides of the controller.

How did this work!? I did what you said and it worked!!!! As you all know this controller cost an arm and a leg. You saved me a lot of money. Thank you!!

Watched this at work and knew I had the exact problem and is the reason I don’t use it anymore, anyways I get home rewatch how easy it is to open the front with the proper tools and then I used 70% rubbing alcohol to clean the bumper and it fixed it! Would totally recommend anyone with this issue to do this and who know it might just work for you too

[discochicken]

You can use rubbing alcohol as well. Thank you so much for this first controller tutorial that actually works.

[lukewebb]

couldn’t click my right bumper for a couple of weeks and this has completely fixed it. thank you!

This is like the 4th tutorial I tried but THIS ONE WORKED. THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO

[itsajoeybeat]

This worked like a charm. Full process took me less than 5 min and got a working LB button finally. Thanks!

[tomknauf]

you just saved me 150+ dollars or however much these are.. thank you.

and to everyone wondering how to get it open without these plastic things, i cut my zyn can into flush wedges for the top. and then for the sides i used a little wedge tool on a pocket knife, hope this helps.

I didn't believe you but I had some alcohol laying around so I tried it and they work!!! They haven't worked since I bought it 🤯 I just dipped a qtip in alcohol, let 1 drop go into each button (controller off) and clicked the buttons a bunch. Let it sit for an hour to dry and they WORK!! THANK YOU

[kie]

This worked flawlessy for me. I tried turning the piece of plastic, using a qtip with isopropyl alcohol and using a cut up business card to replace the plastic that all had 50% better results. This WD-40 made it work 100%. I did use a qtip to clean any leftover reside.

[GraysonFowler-ijfx]

Did this with 91% isopropyl alcohol and it worked like a charm! Thanks for the great video

[ThatRandomWarden]

My savior. Was feeling depressed about it all day. Now I’m feeling amazing

[jeffreymyrick]

Thank you so much this really helped. I didnt have any tools to ply it open so i had to use a lego orange tool lol.
