Title: Help with fixing a controller Post by: Jmmcwho on September 19, 2017, 05:44:22 AM I recently purchased a spongebob ps2 controller but it has a few spots where the black wire cover is split. How can I fix them without electrical tape? I was going to do heat shrink but I'm not sure how to disassemble the plug end and I've never soldered anything before. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated

Many controllers have a plug on the board to disconnect the controller lead, so you may not need to solder.

Not as easy to replace when the plug is unique...(https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51KAKFPAQZL._SX466_.jpg) Title: Re: Help with fixing a controller Post by: Jmmcwho on September 20, 2017, 12:29:23 AM Yeah that's my problem. Just trying to fix the splits without damaging the controller but still being able to avoid electrical tape. Not big splits just 2 small one probably less than 1 inch each
