portable controller problem

Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

portable controller problem

Post by kasar »

I was doing last steeps of my portable, testing the battery pack, It was working great, after a few time, the portable suddenly got the main joistick working weird (when move joystick to left it doesnt work, also the r trigger stoped to work, and also the C joistick stopped working.

all other buttoms works normally, but wtf?

what i did wrong? I tested it ago a few times and worked perfect, I dissambled the controller again, removing lot of hot glue, and finally accesed to the joistick and controller stuff, I tryed replace the joistick for another one but still working bad, and C joy still without work, tryed remove the main joystick ,and started a game, the character dont stay at the place, it moves crazy, and R trigger and C joystick still wothout move.

anyone know why this happened? maybe a short broke the controller mobo?

anyway all symthoms seems to I have to buy another controller and start rewiring all again.

arrggg, I was very close to finish the laptop , but this happened :S

Since multiple buttons are acting up I suspect that a common (ground) is not making good contact. Follow the traces between the things not working to see what they have in common.

did that before, and dont found nothing, if it been shorted before, seems there are some unrecoverable damage.
