PS360 Controller Problems

[FifaKing22]

I'm currently working on this hard ass project and i encountered a couple of problems. I honestly tried doing RDC's way of using PCB to PCB. i can't quite figure out where to solder the joints for the connection so i gave up. I tried Ben Heck's method. Controller #1 i removed the analog sticks and due to heating up the motherboard to high by putting the solder gun directly on it, it wont turn on. Controller #2 i tried to remove the button grid and couldn't figure out how to do it. it still works so how use it without the button grid spots as they have been ripped out?? thanks and if anyone got ben hecks wiring diagram or RDC's PCB to PCB diagrams on how to wire both controllers together, that would be a great help!! The pictures provide more of my problem! P.S i cant upload the pics because file too big. anyways my problem is where the button grid is the silver stuff is gone. all you see is brown plasticky materials as i ripped the copper below when i was removing the pins.

That's the Daughter board connector, and you should be using a soldering iron, not a soldering gun, those are completely different tools.

Those connections don't really need to be used anyway as that version of board has a TP spots for every one that's there.

TP10 - PS (Common Line for Home button)

TP17 - COM 1 (Common Line for D-pad and L1/2)
TP18 - COM 2 (Common Line for X, /\, [ ], O and R1/2)

TP26 - PS (Home Button)
TP27 - Start
TP28 - R3 (Stick button)
TP29 - L3 (Stick button)
TP30 - Select
TP31 - X
TP32 - R1
TP33 - R2
TP34 - L1
TP35 - DL (D-pad Left)

TP37 - [ ]
TP38 - O
TP39 - /\

TP41 - L2
TP42 - DD (D-pad Down)
TP43 - DR (D-pad Right)
TP44 - DU (D-pad Up)

TP60 - COM 3 (Common Line for Select, Start, L3 and R3)

It's still usable, though I only use the DS3 version controllers as those older ones don't have Rumble.
