So I decide to pull out my ps4 after having not used it for quite some time. I updated to the latest firmware which caused issues with my ps4's audio to my asus monitor (it seemingly works fine with my living room hdtv.) and I discovered that my controller no longer worked in games. after doing some troubleshooting by hooking it up to my pc, I discovered that for whatever reason the l2 trigger appears to be activated all the way at all times. I'm guessing this is what is causing my issues in games on the ps4. I managed to get the controller to work in games by performing a reset while a game was running, but l2 would not work. I thought that perhaps there would be a physical defect or something that is stuck in the contact on the controller itself. I disassembled the controller completely and found that nothing appeared to be physically wrong. The only time I was able to get l2 to show as off in the windows controller diagnostic was when the controller was fully disassembled and the wire ribbon made no contact with the pcb, but if I applied pressure to the front of the ribbon forcing it to make contact with the pcb then the trigger would show as activated. I'm not sure if the wiring is kaput or there is some other issue with the controller. I am hoping that perhaps some of the gurus here might have some ideas. I could just spring for a new controller, but my curiosity is piqued and I'd like to fix this for the fun of it and maybe learn something in the process.
