DS4 Help

[Paytend01]

Ok basically I threw my DS4 at my wall (Dont judge ok i have anger issues) and the L1 button is missing and the L2 Paddle is broken. I have another controller that is fine other than the d-pad. I was thinking of exchanging the dpad on the first controller into my second one to have a full functional ds4. Any tips? Videos? Tools ill need?

Been there. Done that. 

 

It's not really very difficult aside from keeping everything in place while you're lifting the bottom off the top. (buttons face down)

 

Open it slowly and pay attention to where everything is.  Watch out for the springs on the triggers.  They're a pain in the ass.  

 

If you think you'll lose something, lay down a trash bag.  Or even better, open it inside a trash bag.  Find a way to hold it open so you can obviously still see what you're doing.
