Solder directly to the D-Pad or the L and R Triggers!
« on: April 23, 2008, 01:10:55 PM »
Not sure if any of U know this.

But U can solder directly to them without having to solder wires to the Motherboard and risking damaging it.
The reason it is better to do this is because the D-Pad:


Or the R Trigger wire on the Circuit Board:

Are cheaper to replace then a Motherboard if something goes wrong.

I did this when doing the PSP Nunchucks [Wii Nunchucks PROJECT!].
So just thought I would let U guys know.

I haven't soldered to my D-Pad yet, but I know it can be done.

I did solder to the R connector:

The "L" shaped lines is where U need to solder the wire.

Only solder to the vertical line.
Don't solder to the horizontal line, because if U burn off the conection the R button will no longer work.
