new Q

[10kman]

I accidentally "ripped" the controller port out so i could solder the controller directly to the Mobo.
My Q is do i have to do anything to the controller before i do this because it isn't working. I attached it assuming it was male according to the information thread. I might have messed the controller port up completely though...
also if this doesn't work what would be the easiest system to make portable? (as a first time thing)

make sure you got the wiring correct. you may have also ripped up the copper traces. if thats the case, youre basically screwed. youll have to find the individual traces for each pad and scrape back the green enamel and solder to those directly.

you may have also ripped up the copper traces

Yes thats what happened... do you know what the easiest system to portafy is?

Srry and thanks i will use it!

I just fixed the led which had copper traces broke off and i am having higher hopes of fixing the controller ports...

Next time i will remember not to try to desolder using A soldering iron... (thats how i messed up)
