I got a broken controller. i got 3 problems with it.

the LB button is not clicking and the L3 and R3 buttons arent working.

does anyone got any info on how to fix these problems?

I would suggest opening up your controller, cleaning the components and resituating the parts correctly. There are tutorials on how to open up the controller, depending on if it's Wireless or Wired (Wireless required a Torx T8, I think, and Wired is standard jeweler star)

Wireless is a Torx Security Bit 8 if I memory is correct. Make sure you get the security bit, or it wont work. Also, the first time I ordered security bits, the bit itself was too wide to make it all the way into the screw on two of the holes. Be sure to check before you buy

On the subject of security torx, I was in Autozone the other day buying a new radiator. While I was waiting for the guy to pull it out of the back, I checked out the tools section and I found a really neat set of security torx drivers all hooked together sort of like a leatherman. They were all about 3 inches long, so they'd be great for gaming repairs. I plan to go back and get one at some point. This is not the exact same one, but it's really close.

i ran into a problem opening the controller. who ever owned the controller be for me stripped one of the screws so i cant unscrew it.

EDIT: forget it problem solved

i fixed the top button and discovered that the r3 button isnt even broken but the l3 button is
i can move the stick but when i press the button i get nothing

any ideas guys?

The analog stick is a complete assembly, you'd have to steal one from another controller. It's usually not worth the trouble.
