  • Tangent time! The cats knocked one of my PS5 controllers to the floor for the umpteenth time recently, but this time the R2 trigger stopped working. Apparently, if a button on a PS5 controller stops working, it disables EVERY button from working when you load up a game or app, so even things that don’t need that button won’t work. I really didn’t want to spend $70+ dollars for a new one, so I used a YouTube tutorial to take it apart and see if I could fix it. Nothing looked out of the ordinary, but the R2 trigger still refused to work. After taking it almost all the way apart, unplugging and replugging every tiny ribbon cable in it, it worked! One of the ribbon cables must have been knocked ever so slightly loose. I was shocked I actually managed to fix it since I’m not very mechanically inclined.
