Introdução
If you are experiencing stick drift or other issues with your GameSir Nova 2 Lite’s joysticks or sensors, this guide will show you how to replace them.
Removing the joysticks requires a soldering iron, so before you begin, review this soldering guide to familiarize yourself with the process. Be very careful—the soldering iron gets extremely hot and can easily melt plastic or cause burns.
Before replacing the joysticks, verify that a repair is necessary by checking this troubleshooting page.
Finally, make sure the controller is powered off, disconnected from any charger, PC, or console, and that the battery is disconnected. Soldering a powered device is dangerous and can cause further damage to the controller or serious injury.
