Soldering joints ripped off
« on: June 07, 2021, 05:16:44 PM »
Hello,

I tried to change a joystick and some of the solder joints got ripped off. I am not sure where to use my jumper on this one.. please help.

(The Y Axis is moving on its own)

The one to the left is what i am wondering what to do with.

Install a jumper wire from that middle Y-axis pin to TP63.

The LSC connection can be left as is if it still works, and it should as the other one still looks connected there.

Same for the X-axis connections, if it works then just leave it alone for now.
Screwing up is one of the best learning tools, so long as the only thing you're not learning is how to screw up.

Top Y pin is Ground, bottom one is the AN+, can just solder that one over to the X-axis left pin.

For the LSY connection you'll have to  either solder to the via right there at TP63, down/left of where TP63 was, or attach that to pin 53 of the SOC board there.
