Repairing the Dualshock 3

There are a number of areas where replacing key parts with a quality alternative can prove very cost-effective. iParts4U has introduced a new line of console spares that includes the following replacement components for the Dualshock 3;

• Analog Stick Modules – this module featured in the Dualshock 3 is what connects the analogue stick to the controller itself. This module controls the analogue stick's registered movement. Therefore, if this module is damaged or malfunctioning, the analogue stick is not going to register properly.
• Conductive Film Keypad Flex Cable – The conductive film keypad flex cable is what connects all of the buttons for accurate registration of button presses. Therefore, if the film or flex cable is damaged in any way, the device is not likely to function properly
