i don't mean to come off as a jerk, but i hate it when someone ask a question in the forum, then post a "nevermind i got the answer somewhere else" or "nevermind i figured it out" without posting what their findings were. i always post the answer even if no one in the forums helped me, so the next person who finds the thread will have the answer, not just a "i figured it out."
so, i have the same problem. the part fell out of the controller as i was taking it apart. it was under the D-pad, so i knew that was were it came from in the first place. i didn't get a chance to find out how it fits under the d pad though. i'm pretty sure it's inbetween the white rubber part and the d-pad, but which way do the prongs face? the front (d-pad) or back (rubber)?
also, what orientation is the T shape suppose to be in? does it actually fit in like a T, or and upside down T? or does it point to left or right?
