A blurry image of a portion of the board doesn't really help. You have C11 bridged, remove that as well as the bridge at C12 or it's not going to work correctly to find the issue. R28 goes from Q9p3 to Ground and is not installed.
hello I have an issue with the home button. After replacing one of the analogue sticks and without removing the power board at all the home button is not registering anymore. It lights up but it doesn't do anything when pressing it , it won't turn off or turn on the controller. The controller is working fine if i connect it to the USB power cord and then remove it again (with batteries on off course). Have you got any ideas on where i should look if i messed anything up with desoldering ?. The strange thing is that i haven't touched the power board or the home button at all.just a quick note, i'm testing this with one analogue stick on board at the moment as i removed the other one because i'm waiting for the replacement part. Not sure if this is related to the issue I have with the home button.
Hey, can you please give me some advice. I don't have any solution. The controller stoped working on battery, won't start att all, when pressing the guide button is light up, and if keep pressing it's flashing. I have swapped the mcu board to my other working controller and didn't turn on. Now both controller's are not turning on. Update: The good working controller it's back after connected by cable to console. The not working controller back where I was on the fault with the guide button after connected to cable. I have removed the bridge between C11 and R25 and solder jumper wires from battery terminals to microusb port. The controller is working but it's not showing the battery procentage just show full.
Check ✅ that area.
No, put a Diode in there.
Full size blurry image of one side, also not very useful.The best advice that I can honestly give, is that you stop randomly connecting things together trying to make it work before it's ruined for good and never will. Full is all of the percentage, and I have no idea what you expect it to show you having it all cross wired like that, it'll be the magic smoke before long, if it hasn't already ran off while you weren't looking that is.You can not use the USB 5v as the AA battery source like that, and where you even came up with that idea boggles my mind on multiple levels. First, putting 5v into the AA+ terminal that was designed for 2 x AA voltage (1.5v x 2 = 3v) should not be done. Second, connecting the USB ground to the AA ground is redundant, as they are already connected on the board, so that wire is doing nothing at all.The controller knows there is 5v there and it will run from that instead of trying to run form the AA source. Power the board correctly and look for the only issue(s) that it actually has, not problems that you are creating on top of it. If you don't have a bench supply for making a 3v source to act like the AA batteries, then get a 2AA battery holder and solder that on there, if you don't have access to that then use 2 AA batteries, some wire and tape them together to make one.Since I can not make it out from the pics, what did you put in place of Q9?
Ok. I have stoped doing stupid testing. Q9 i have swapped from another working controller (it's messed because j have managed to rip 2 pads) I have make a 3v power supply and tested on TP35 on battery i don't have voltage 0,011! On cable i have 3,3v on TP35 i have looked at traces and goes to U 4 (C28,C45)
That one is around there somewhere. There are piles of places online to order components, DigiKey, Mouser, etc., or pick up another broken controller or board somewhere. Just about any Diode would work. I'd toss a 1N4148 in there, SOD-323 package.
On USB power TP35 is always 3.3vOn AA power there will be no voltage on TP35 until the Guide button is pressed.
Shocker.
@ xh0st - Issue is most likely on the Power OK line somewhere. R7, D26 or the trace from J1p9 to R7, D26, Q9.
