led swap problem

[sakobatoneko]

I finished doing the led swap and the leds are soldered correctly, but when i turn it on the controller wont light up. When i plug it in using the charging cable they light up. why is that?

Maybe they need a higher voltage than the controller puts out.  The charger makes it put out .5v higher than usual.

yeah i do need a higher voltage, problem is i cant find any.

i converted one of my controllers to a lithium ion battery with a slightly higher voltage.

it's not exactly a tut but i give a good idea of how i did it. you would just have to sacrifice a plug and play battery pack to make it. it was pretty easy after i figured it out.

My controller is a CG2 and i cant seem to find any points to power up my leds.

try the mic power.

Use the power on these pics to see if they work. The top picture is the one that is hooked up to the mic power
