horrible xbox 360 controller problem (new one)
« on: September 22, 2008, 07:05:08 PM »
So I have another controller that I bought and did some mods to it i.e. rapid fire/ led swapes but while I was swaping leds one of the contacts came off so it said to scrape off paint so I did, it then made it worse and I tried to solder a cable next to one of the leds it then pulled the contact wire right off the controller and up from under the paint I will post pics... but please if anybody has had similar problems than please could you help me or even if you have never had this problem...do you recommend buying a conductive ink pen?






Should I just give up and make it a ghost case? by the way the 1st person led works

that is horrific!  Don't even want to know why it is black like that(propane torch is not a suitable soldering tool :rofl:) Ok so here is what you need to do; here are the diagrams you will need to fix this:
http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=512284

Your controller is a matrix, and you will need to glue your leds in place and jump according to the first diagram in that link.  The four little holes under R21 are the controll lines of the leds (numbered and black) the other line is common and can be jumped from anywhere it is marked (red lines)

to solder to those holes you will need to scrape them, however I have seen your scraping and it leaves a lot to be desired.  get a razor blade, or a jeweler's screw driver and ever so slightly scrape at the green coating that is over the holes.  I should take you several minutes of very light scraping to expose the copper which will be a yellowish color.  The stuff you are scraping is called solder mask and is like a thin layer of paint that protects the circuit board from solder in the manufacturing process.
