I basically threw a fast ball with it. Shattered the case and blew up the battery. I am surprised it didnt die earlier because I slammed it many times prior tolast night.
The assembly board and vibrators are still working so I need a broken DS3 parts to try to fix it, them joint cost 60 bucks after tax
I am fairly knowledgeable when it comes to opening the controller but you need good hands. The DS3 is not a 2 piece case. Once you open it, the 2 clips by theL and R buttons will come off and you will need to reattach it before closing the case. The metal bar like hinges also have tendencies to fall out and you willneed to reattach that as well. There are also springs on the hinges for the L2 R2 buttons that is needed to be on the hinges. You also have to even the metalbars on the hinges before reattaching the clips. Now the tricky part is to close the case. You willl have to press the L2 and R2 button down and align thebottom shell to the clips, all in one motion without moving the battery out of place. And there are many complications afterwards such as the L2 and R2 beingunresponsive, too responsive and you have to open it again to realign everything
