I dropped my ps3 controller accidently but it wasn't a heavy impact nor did I step on it. However L1 button stopped working completly. Everything else works fine. So i tore it apart to find out about this problem and I found out that there was nothing broke. But the black strip pad underneath the button rubber is not responding. I tested L2 works just fine when i push down the rubber but no respond on L1.

Now I did some google search but I didn't find anything about this, anyone else has this issue that can help me?

I attached picture to show exactly where it is.

Buy a new controller. The PS3 controller is just a nightmare to try to take apart and put back together.

Okay I found a solution, after opening my controller due to the same thing happening and other issues including random weapons and equipment on black ops opening when I tried to sprint were happening, etc. So I found out that the strip under the board itself was not touching the board properly, so I added a little supporter known as insulating tape/black tape and ever since it's been working fine. I hope this helps you! :)
