Title: Help with Wii U Controller Stick Board
Post by: rafaliyo86 on January 02, 2014, 11:34:43 AM: Hi guys

A friend of mine carried his console to a shop becuase the stick didn´t work right (I don´t know why he didn´t made use of the warranty). After a few days the shop gave him the console back and told him that they couldn´t fix it.

We decided to fix it and once we opened it we realized the PCB was damaged. Here are two pics:

I have tried to find a replacement with no luck :(

Do you know if there is any place to get it? becuase i don´t know if it would be possible to make a pcb for it

Thanks in advance

Install the new Stick and anything that doesn't work (the Y-Axis for sure isn't going to) wire it up directly to the connector.

1 - Ground
2 - X-Axis
3 - Voltage
4 - Y-Axis
5 - Stick Button

RDC these pins are of the conector but I would have to know what are in the stick. I just have to follow the traces right?
Title: Re: Help with Wii U Controller Stick Board
Post by: RDC on January 03, 2014, 03:55:13 AM: Yes, follow the traces, it's all right there.

Post by: rafaliyo86 on January 03, 2014, 04:00:49 AM: Ok, the last question I have its about Voltage, what's the point in the pcb? (I can't see it in the picture and i don't have the pcb here now)
Title: Re: Help with Wii U Controller Stick Board
Post by: RDC on January 03, 2014, 04:05:42 AM: No idea what that means.

It's pin 3 on the connector. Look at both sides of the PCB and follow the traces thru the Vias, can even do it from the pics.

Post by: rafaliyo86 on January 03, 2014, 08:22:13 AM: In this side this would be the points (I believe GROUND would go where I mark)

But VOLTAGE would go on the other side to the PCB?
Title: Re: Help with Wii U Controller Stick Board
Post by: RDC on January 03, 2014, 08:41:35 AM: 1 is Ground
3 is Voltage

The same as they were when I first replied.

Going by that picture
POT on the Left - Top is Voltage, Middle is Axis, Bottom is Ground.
POT on Top - Left is Ground, Middle is Axis, Right is Voltage.

Post by: RDC on January 03, 2014, 09:19:48 AM: That's exactly how it is. They just use traces on both sides of the PCB to do it.
