I didn't put this on the Xbox subforum since it's really inactive there, and since this is a talk about anything sub, hopefully it should be okay (if not please move it :)).

So basically I took apart the Xbox One Wireless controller to replace the analog sticks' plastic pieces and cleanup as well. Removing the first board was a bit tricky as the wires are wrapped around on both sides (horrible controller design, the PS4 controller is way more simple), so I'm afraid the knocking of the board a bit is what caused this problem:

The triggers don't work. One test on my Win 10 PC says 100% for both triggers and they don't change no matter how the triggers are pressed or not, the trigger motors work though (first time I experienced those lol).
The built in controller calibration in Win 10 showed the Z axis around the middle, and did not change at all. Calibrating it simply showed 50% for both. Uninstalling the controller from device manager didn't work either, so all in all I doubt this is a software issue.

Apparently the triggers work with magnets (again, the design, ugh...), but they seem fine to me. I never touched or pushed the magnets and they're well inside their shrink wraps. Putting a metal object near, between the magnets have no effect either, the triggers simply don't work or change for whatever I try. So it's either the magnets or the board beneath right?

One thing I did in this session was resolder the vibration motors, the wires are so fragile and just came off so I resoldered them back, doesn't look like any wire is jutting out, it's a clean job to me.

Does anyone know what went wrong and how I can go about fixing this? Thanks in advance. :yay:

EDIT: I tried using a magnet and hovering around the area where the triggers would rest on the board had no change in input.

    Only thing drive me crazy is all these new horror games nowadays is its so dark, all time. I can't even play them. I understand they trying to create spooky but be creative a little, not just darkness with pop out scare scenes.
