My Xbox one S controllers trigger is moved to the side

Hey there NebulousGlue435,

Thanks for reaching out to the Forums for advice on how to work with this issue you're experiencing with your controller. However, because you have opened the controller and are attempting to discuss matters involving self-repair (which is prohibited in
Rule 22 of the
Xbox Forums guidelines) I will be locking this post.

Please keep this rule in mind while participating in discussions or creating new threads.

Thanks!

If the controller is in warrant yet you can ask by change https://support.xbox.com/en-US/my-account/warranty-and-service/xbox-product-documents-info

It' s possible that if you don't complete a side-mission in one sector of the galaxy, that sector can be over-run by reapers and you'll never be able to complete it.... from what I've seen of the galaxy map it does show different levels of reaper control.

Or a conversation occurs between a bunch of people while you're passing (triggered by your proximity) and unless you interrupt (which may trigger a side-quest) then it resolves on it's own and you miss the side mission.

Had the same problem. Day one the left trigger was physically stuck. After applying some pressure and wiggling around a bit it released and started working fine for a couple of months. Then one day it got stuck again. So I did the same thing to free it up
and it worked for a couple of months. Today the trigger was logically stuck ON making it impossible to play some games. Since the warranty is only a whopping 90 days I decided to open it up.

You can pull the side panels of the controller off with your fingers. This exposes a slight view of the trigger switch. What I found was a loose screw magnetically stuck to the magnet that makes up the trigger switch. What was happening was if the screw
was stuck between the magnet and the PC board it prevented the trigger from closing. If the screw was moved to the side, but still stuck to the magnet, the trigger worked fine. With some small pliers I was able to remove the screw.

Unfortunately this did not fix my logically stuck trigger. I think what happened was after months of the screw moving around in there it scraped up the circuit board breaking the circuit.

I took the controller apart further to see if my theory was correct. (FYI in addition to the four screws under the side pieces, there is a screw under the battery compartment sticker.) I didn't see any obvious damage from the screw but I can't see what's
causing the broken circuit. I didn't see any places where the loose screw could have come from.

If you have a sticking trigger you might want to open up the side and see if it is a loose screw before it gets worse like mine.
