Business ProfileforController Chaos

Hello, I am an electronics, electrical and RF engineer and I do board level repairs on electronic devices pretty regular alongside designing communications infra, so I am no stranger to this.Anyways I got an xbox one wireless controller brought to me by a friend with the clain that the controller malfunctioned, went haywire and then died. It will not charge a battery or turn on with a hot battery installed. Upon analysis I was able to work out the problem quite quickly that this was not an issue caused bt the device owner or ********* but rather I found a 3rd party unbranded PCB loose in the casing due to no securing hardware. It relies on pin tension of an IC socket to hold the board in place, in a controller, in the hands of a kid or adult gamer or both. Controllers see abuse and stress from the person(s) using them so I cannot wrap my head around why the hot snot option to hold parts in place in such a device that will see all sorts of motions, G forces and bumps into things... I mean the mod board just relies on friction and physics and luck cause they didnt even use that hot glue there and that is the main place that needs something holding things together. Because if this decision, U1 was deemed damaged due to cap fracture, The literal chip shorted out to the mod board and sat there for a while and the IC's encapsulation material cracked, destroying the chip die and IC, thus rendering the whole device damaged beyond financially responsible repair that is by the letter. I can offer my friend the option to have me junk all but the controller and the mod board and used working salvaged PCB from other xb1 controllers as well as improve the mod PCB with mounting option and circuit connections so we 86 that IC socket means of connecting the board. Same for the tactile switches, I can design and fab a PCB to utilize the rubber dome type switch like the controller has already and route that flat ribbon out of pinch points.
