Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697: Can a loose aux port affect your headset mic?

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 14:17:00 -0700

I recently replaced the headphone jack on my controller as it had issues, the new one works except the mic on my headset won’t work at all. I know the headset is fine as it works perfectly on my laptop, could it be a loose connection somewhere or should i consider a new controller?

Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697: How can I calibrate the thumbsticks?

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 13:36:52 -0700

I replaced the thumbsticks on my 1697 model with new hall effect based thumbsticks. Is it possible to calibrate the thumb sticks? The controller firmware seems to have internal stored calibration values of old ALPS potentiometer thumbsticks. Unfortunately the new ones are slightly off center and have different full-scale deflection ratio. At about 50% stick deflection the controller reports 100% value. I accuse the stored calibration, because I measured the full-scale deflection linearity of hall effect sensor in circuit. Output voltage range of hall effect sensor "wiper pin" is about 0.2V - 1.7V but interpreted range of ADC input seems to be somewhere from 0.5V - 1.4V.

I guess the controller still has its original firmware and I cannot upgrade firmware or use XBOX Accessories App (also the downgrade launch option doesn't help). Tried on multiple PCs with USB or wireless.

I also tried newer XBOX controllers, but I do not want to use them as they still do not use hall effect sensors and even worse, the firmware uses an integrated averaging filter for the thumbstick to "heal" drift issues, so that users won't notice the drift. However this filter leads to a square gating and not a circular gating stick movement.

Currently I can see only 2 options:

use an intermediate op-amp mod to adjust the "wiper" range to the old values
try to reverse engineer the firmware running on the MKL26Z256VMC4 chip and find and update stored calibration values

I will try the latter one as I'm more into software.

My controller’s A button had always stuck, but now its to the point of basically not working at all. You have to click the very top of the button for it to even identify that it is being pushed. Anyone got an answer before I try replacing anything?

Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697: R91 L2 What is this surface mount component called?

Sat, 14 Nov 2020 19:01:49 -0700

Attempting to repair a controller which does not turn on. I’m no expert but suspect this component that looks like it has legit exploded may be the issue.

Can anyone help me figure out what it’s called so I can try to find a replacement to order. It seems to be labelled “R91” on the top of the component, and “L2” on the board. Else I’ll have to get a whole new board.

Thanks ✌️

Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697: My triggers have been acting up

Tue, 26 May 2020 02:30:35 -0700

So my controller was completely fine one day until something very strange started happening. I could not move around the home screen so my xbox is pretty much inaccessible. But when I turn it into magnifier mode i can do everything completely fine so i used this opportunity to go into the controller test mode. When i’m magnified every button works apart from LT and RT, but when i zoom our to the normal screen, the test mode shows that RT is being spammed constantly (while i’m not pressing it).

Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697: xbox one controller pcb analog stick replacement issue.

Tue, 19 May 2020 15:07:30 -0700

Hello,

I tried replacing the left analog stick module on a xbox one controller board (soldering).

I did not solder a new module on the controller yet so on the moment you only see the soldering “holes” but when i connect my controller to my xbox or my pc it keeps pressing up (controller tester says the left stick is continuesly pushing up) But there is no left stick…

Does somebody know what this could be?

Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697: Will only connect when sat within 2 feet of the console

Wed, 29 Mar 2017 04:34:53 -0700

Hi guys,

My Xbox One has recently started having problems connecting to my controllers. It is generally fine when sat really close to the console (no more than 2 feet) but as soon as I sit further away it constantly disconnects and can take several minutes to find connection again unless I move closer to the console. I have three official controllers and it does the same with all of them so I assume it must be an issue with the console.

Any help you can give would be hugely appreciated! Would resetting the console help? I've had the issue for a week now so please don't suggest turning it off and on!

Thanks,

It was weeks ago and my right trigger was stuck so I pushed down hard and it returned to normal. But I noticed that it wasn't responding to my console and I could hear something broken in the controller. So I opened the sides and shaked it again and a black spring look alike fell out. This however wasn't able to fix the controller. Please help.
