Specific points on the PCB (Cross, Circle, Triangle, and Square) where signals are sent to the processor when a circuit is completed by the conductive membrane.
Since the buttons are "Active Lo," they activate when connected to Ground. Repairing these requires identifying the specific via for the button and ensuring it has a clean connection to the conductive film.
The represents the internal blueprint for the 5th generation Sony DualShock 4 controller (Model CUH-ZCT2). For technicians and modders, understanding this circuit layout is essential for repairing common issues like stick drift, charging failures, or unresponsive buttons. Unlike earlier models, the JDM-040 features a refined board design where button vias are clustered near the top right, allowing any ground line to serve as a connection point.
