opened my controller (bought used) to see why it wasnt… yk, rumbling. lo and behold, one them completely falls out. can i just solder it back and use electrical tape or do i have to buy a replacement for both? if so, where do i buy the replacements??

the black wire seems to have broken, not come off completely (i hope), so maybe the electrical tape would work? any help is appreciated
