Excellent service and kept informed throughout the process. Was initially concerned as I thought I was dealing with a local company where I could have … More dropped my DVD player in for repair only then to find out I had to post it via the Royal Mail service. All postal requirements were sent over and in the event the service was quick and painless and given notification of its safe arrival. As the DVD player sound surround system was around 20yrs old I was surprised that Electronic Partners were able to undertake a repair and give us many more years service of our system meaning no wastage of all the other perfectly good parts such as the speakers. EP also met my need in delaying the return postage until a time that I was able to be at home to receive the DVD player. Would definitely recommend EP and would use again where one can repair and reuse perfectly good equipment rather than unnecessarily throw it away. Many thanks EP. -
Brilliant service! Communication was top notch, cost was competitive and I would definitely use again! So pleased to have my ancient Sony system working … More again!

They provided a first class service in repairing our Bose CD player at a reasonable price. Everything went well in a very timely fashion- collection, repair … More estimate, repair itself and delivery back. CD player back home and playing like new. Service at its best. If I could give them 6 stars I would!
What this repair page covers
This page focuses on PS5 controller faults, including stick drift, charging issues, non-responsive buttons, trigger problems, and connectivity issues that stop the controller working properly. If your symptoms fit that broader controller pattern, this page should help you judge whether the fault still looks commercially repairable.
Symptoms customers commonly report
For console repair, controller faults are usually reported as stick drift, buttons not responding properly, charging issues, trigger faults, or pairing problems that stop the pad working normally.
- PS5 DualSense controller is showing very early signs of stick drift. Today I witnessed the first time where character moved on their own without me touching anything, and I know the problem will only get worse over time.
- Controller is not charging, tried different cables, resetting, but controller is no holding any charge, cannot play with controller connected also, when connected, lights will appear orange as though it is charging…
- Huge joystick drift constantly pulls left (very hard to navigate especially menu’s, but games too.) and recently it won’t seem to work at all on game menu navigation on Roblox and Skate, not with any buttons.
- The controller was dropped, snapping some internal trigger components, now the trigger doesn't spring back. Have taken it apart to look and need to replace the trigger module. Controller is version 3.
- The controller is not syncing and have tried all different fixes off of youtube-when the wire is connected to charge the controller a single orange light comes on and then nothing happens after that.
- Consistently shutting off after I play it for 10/15 minutes. I have to unplug the power cable each time to get it to restart. Also both controllers have stick drift on them, which pulls to the left.
Why this fault matters
Controller repair pages matter because customers usually arrive with a very specific symptom in mind, such as non-responsive buttons, analogue stick problems, charging faults, or damage after a drop. A focused page is more useful here than a generic console-service overview.
Related models appearing in the same repair pattern include PS5.
What usually causes this problem
Wear In Moving Parts
Analogue sticks, triggers, and buttons all wear differently over time, so controller faults often build up gradually rather than appearing as one clean break point.
Charging Or Port Stress
Charging faults can come from cable strain, connector wear, or impact around the charging connection rather than a single obvious internal failure.
Drop Or Spill Damage
Some controller issues start after a drop or liquid exposure, which can turn a simple input fault into a broader repair decision.
What the diagnostic process usually needs to confirm
The first step is identifying whether the main problem sits with the sticks, buttons, triggers, charging path, or pairing behaviour.
Diagnosis then checks whether the controller issue is isolated or tied to wider liquid, drop, or connector damage that changes the repair scope.
Even when the controller is repairable, the practical question is whether the job remains commercially sensible compared with replacement.
When repair is usually worthwhile
Good Repair Candidate
A PS5 controller is usually worth exploring when the fault is limited to drift, charging, trigger, or button behaviour and the rest of the pad is still in solid physical condition.
Cases That Need Caution
Repair becomes less attractive when the controller has heavy liquid damage, severe housing damage, or several unrelated faults that push the job beyond a straightforward controller repair.
Next step if this matches your fault
If your device symptoms are close to the pattern described above, the best next step is to request an estimate through the Gaming Console Repair route. That keeps the enquiry aligned to the correct workshop flow and gives the team the device and fault detail needed for diagnosis.
