Wii Mote A Button Mod
« on: July 10, 2008, 05:27:51 PM »
Hey guys,
I am planning on doing the mod but when i tried, but for some reason, its hard getting the solder/wire to stick onto the golden contacts on the wiimote. Anyone have any ideas?

you dont always have to use flux you can just rough/scratch the point to where you want to solder to....pretin the wire then just tap the wire to the point and heat it up. it'll stick

I agree, flux makes the job a lot easier especially when soldering to such small points like LED's or IC legs.

hey its much easier if you take off the white plastic that's makin it harder for you then solder the led lights then put it back together
note: i found out if your wiimote doesn't work after this mod, it could've been bad solder or some circuits, just scrape off the solder then it comes back to live, thats what happened to me lol i tried get a 2 for 1 deal at bestbuy but i fixed it.

try heating up the copper pads(golden contacts) first and then touching it with solder coz that should make it stick better. than if the solder holds well simply attach the wire
Lots of gaming stuff but too lazy to mention =]
