How to Fix an L2 Button That Has Fallen Off

The PlayStation 3 (PS3) game console comes with a controller with many buttons. The two buttons on the top-left of the controller are called the "L" buttons. The first one is called "L1," while the one right behind it is called "L2." Occasionally, these buttons may fall off of the controller. If this is the case with your "L2" button, you can fix the problem by opening up the controller.
