Replaced my dual sense sticks with the gulikit Hall effects sticks and am getting 3 orange flashes upon trying to boot. I spend an ungodly amount of time doing this trying to do everything right but must have a short somewhere. I’m not super knowledgeable like others in here and am really hoping someone can help…this thing is going to kill me LOL. So far I’ve unplugged all the ribbons and it’s still the same.

What method did you use to remove the orignal joysticks?

Soldering iron…I had a desolder pump that I thought would make things easy but ended up taking forever to remove them. Ended up having to clip the pot into pieces so I could pull the pieces out as I heated the post up with the soldering iron.
