Thanks for the help TD!

I didn't get much luck with the warranty (Since I'm outside the US) and I didn't feel like shipping it to some other country to get repaired, so I pulled it a part and it was pretty easy to fix.

Just adding on to the video for anyone else reading this, once the controller is apart the screen must be slid out to access all three screws under the trigger (I would also recommend unscrewing the trigger too). Once you expose the spring, simply re-bend the end and re-attach it to the plastic lugs.



NOTE: You will see a screw under the spring in my pic, but I found that wound all the way up, so I'm under the impression that maybe there was too much tension put on the spring while it is in use. Even to unscrew it I had a bit of trouble and had to use a vice to hold it so I didn't break any of the plastic.

It wasn't difficult, but I would recommend caution so nothing breaks.
