Introduction

Over time, the USB cable on your Logitech F310 Gamepad controller may become damaged, leading to connection issues. This guide will walk you through replacing the USB cable in a Logitech Gamepad F310 (Model G-U0001), including desoldering the old cable and soldering a new one.

This repair requires the careful handling of electronic components and using a soldering iron. The soldering iron can get very hot and will burn so be careful when operating it.

Before you begin this repair, make sure that your controller is turned off and unplugged from the console. It's also important to unplug or remove the battery.

    • Turn the controller face-down on a soft surface.

    • Set the screws aside for reassembly.

    • Use a plastic opening tool or spudger to release the clips holding the top and bottom of the controller together and separate the housing.

    • The face buttons, D-pad, and triggers are loose inside and may fall out when opening the controller.

    • Lift the back shell to expose the circuit board and cable.

    • Cut the five wires to the damaged cable with a wire cutter first to make handling easier.

    • Use a soldering iron and wick or desoldering pumpto remove solder from each of the five pins.

    • Carefully remove each wire with tweezers once desoldered.

    • Be careful not to overheat the board or damage the pads during desoldering.

    • Use a wire stripper to strip the ends of the five wires on your replacement cable if it's not already done.

    • Tin the ends of each wire.

    • Match the wire colors to the board’s labeled pads (usually: VCC, D-, D+, GND, Shield).

    • Solder each wire carefully to its correct pad.

    • Double-check your solder joints to make sure there are no bridges or cold connections.

    • Route the new cable along the original path and ensure it sits flat in the groove.

    • Place the circuit board back into the back shell.

    • Use a Phillips #1 to replace the 6 mm screw.

    • Realign the buttons and membranes in the front shell if any were dislodged.

    • Snap the front and back halves together, ensuring nothing is pinched or out of place.

    • The face buttons, D-pad, and triggers are loose inside and may fall out when snapping the front and back halves of the controller together. Attach the back shell to the front shell and not vice versa.

    • Replace the seven 10 mm-long PH1 screws.

    • Tighten the screws evenly, but avoid overtightening them—you could strip the threads or break the screw heads.

    • Plug the controller into your computer and test all buttons, triggers, and joysticks to confirm everything works.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
