Learn how to replace the physically damaged USB-C charging port and speaker arm assembly on the Meta Quest 3 VR headset. This video focuses specifically on removing and rebuilding the USB-C charge port assembly, including the inner black ring and speaker arm, without covering the complete headset teardown.
This repair guide is intended for technicians, repair shops, and DIY enthusiasts who need to replace a damaged USB-C charging port assembly caused by impact or physical damage to the speaker arm.
In this tutorial I demonstrate how to safely disassemble the right-hand USB-C (Charge Port) & Speaker Arm Assembly, carefully transfer the internal components, and correctly reassemble everything ready for installation.
This video covers:

✔ Rebuilding the Complete Charge Port Assembly
✔ Correct Reassembly & Installation Tips
Components featured in this repair:

At our repair workshop we receive dozens of physically damaged Meta Quest 3 headsets, and one of the most common failures is damage to the speaker arm which often affects the USB-C charging assembly.

SCUF PS5 Controller Stick Drift Repair - One of the Most Challenging Repairs
In this detailed repair and restoration video, I take on a SCUF PS5 Gaming Controller suffering from stick drift and carry out a complete professional-level restoration from start to finish.
This is not an easy repair, especially for hobbyists and DIY repairers. Replacing the joystick potentiometers requires precision, patience, proper soldering technique and plenty of practice. My advice is to take your time and practise repeatedly before attempting this type of repair on an expensive controller.
🔧 Complete SCUF PS5 Stick Drift Repair
In this video, I completely repair the controller by:
• Diagnosing the SCUF PS5 controller stick drift
• Removing the faulty joystick potentiometers
• Replacing the stick drift potentiometers
• Performing detailed soldering and board-level repair
• Carrying out a full ultrasonic cleaning
• Deep cleaning the controller and internal components
• Using 100% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA-100%) for detailed sanitisation and cleaning
• Cleaning away dirt, dust, grime and contamination
• Applying premium restoration techniques throughout the repair
• Carefully reassembling the controller
• Restoring the controller to a clean, fresh and like-new condition
• Performing a complete final testing procedure
⚠️ NOT AN EASY REPAIR – MY 2 CENTS
If you're a hobbyist or DIY repairer thinking about attempting a SCUF controller potentiometer replacement, understand that this is a challenging repair that requires practice, patience and experience.
Potentiometer replacement is not simply a matter of removing one component and installing another. Precision is extremely important, and repeated practice is one of the best ways to develop the skills needed for this type of repair.
Take your time, learn the process and practise on suitable boards before attempting the repair on an expensive SCUF controller.
🧼 Full Cleaning & Premium Restoration
After completing the electronic repair, I don't stop at fixing the stick drift.
The controller receives a full ultrasonic wash, followed by detailed cleaning using 100% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA-100%) and premium restoration techniques.
The goal is to bring the controller back to the best possible condition — both internally and externally.
🎮 Full Testing Procedure
Once the restoration and reassembly are complete, I perform a comprehensive testing procedure to make sure the controller is functioning correctly.
The final testing demonstrates the repaired joysticks, confirms that the stick drift has been resolved, and checks the controller's overall operation after the repair.
Watch the complete video to see the SCUF PS5 controller teardown, potentiometer replacement, ultrasonic cleaning, IPA-100% sanitisation, restoration, reassembly and final testing from beginning to end.
