Flat Flex Ribbon for xbox one elite controller - where to get replacement

No-one here can answer you. Any mention of self repair is strictly forbidden.

You'll have to seek help from Google as Microsoft won't let people help you.

If your console turns off unexpectedly it can be because the console is too hot, the Auto-off setting is enabled or there is a problem with the power supply.

Here is a solution someone found:

I FOUND A SOLUTION!)

I was having the same problem with my Xbox slim. It would randomly beep a few times and then turn off. At first I thought I had a bad power brick. I replaced it but that didn't fix the issue. I also called Microsoft support but they weren't much help. So
I took apart my Xbox and I found out that the ribbon flex cable was damaged. This is the cable that is attached to the on/off and eject buttons inside the front faceplate inside the Xbox 360 Slim Console. All I did was took a Q-tip and dipped it into rubbing
alcohol and gently cleaned the ribbon cable. For me, that fixed my problem. If your cable is really damaged and cleaning it doesn't fix the problem, you have a couple options. You can buy a new cable online (around $5) and replace it yourself, or you can just
detach the ribbon cable completely. Detaching the cable would mean the front panel buttons will not work. You will have to turn the counsel on/off with your controller. For some this would be annoying but it is definitely less annoying than your counsel randomly
turning off in the middle of a game. There are many videos out there showing how to take apart a Xbox slim and also how to replace a ribbon flex cable.

Hello RAVEN,my name is Marvina, I will be happy to help you.

I am very sorry to hear that you are having problems with your Elite Series 2 controller. Here are some things you can try to fix the problem with the dpad:

1. Check the flex cable. The flex cable is the one that connects the dpad to the controller motherboard.

If the flex cable is damaged, it may cause problems with the operation of the dpad. To check the flex cable, you must disassemble the controller. Once you've disassembled the controller, you can inspect the flex cable for damage. If you see any damage, you should replace the flex cable.

2. Check the click switch. The click switch is what makes the click when you press the dpad. If the click switch is damaged, it may cause problems with the operation of the dpad.

To check the click switch, you need to disassemble the controller. Once you've disassembled the controller, you can inspect the click switch for damage. If you see any damage, you should replace the click switch.

3. Clean the dpad. If the dpad is dirty or greasy, it may cause problems with the operation of the dpad. To clean the dpad, you can use a soft cloth and some ********* alcohol.

4. Recalibrate the dpad. If you have tried all of the above and the dpad is still not working correctly, you can try recalibrating it. To recalibrate the dpad, you must follow these steps:

Open the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox console.

Select your Elite Series 2 controller.
Select "Calibrate."

Follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the dpad.

If you've tried all of the above and your dpad still isn't working properly, you may need to send it in for repair. You can send it to Microsoft or an authorized repair center.

Here are some additional tips for disassembling and reassembling the Elite Series 2 controller:

Make sure you have all the necessary screws and parts before you start.

Work in a clean, well-lit area.
Be careful not to damage the internal components of the controller.

If you're not sure how to disassemble or assemble the Elite Series 2 controller, you can find instructions online or in the controller manual.
