Prep the correct Via, and then solder to it.

How to do that is in this thread - http://forums.xbox-s...p;#entry3406983

If you have that V2, V2.5 or VX version board, then you use..

TP39 for X

TP40 for O

TP26 for the common connection for X and O

Thanks for the reply RDC. Came to great use. For some reason when I came back to check on your reply the server was down so I took my own risk and it worked. Appreciate the help RDC thank you.

Can anyone show me what point I'm suppose to "scrape off" for the "O"? on the VX5 please and thanks.

[thatsjdmyo]

I've set the "X" on the chip. I was going to use the second pin of the chip and set as "O" towards my tactile switches but they were too close I dont want to ruin my controller. But ive heard you could scrape something off and set it and "O" is there an actual tp point for "O"? or do you have to scrape something off. please help. thanks

[RDC]

Welcome.

The VX5 has no useful TP spots for the buttons, the Vias that can be used are shown on the first page of this thread, post #6.

[RDC]

The O is the circle, and the spot is marked right next to it in the exact same color, it's right there in that picture.

Yes you need to prep the Via, that is removing the solder mask (green coating) from the spot before you can solder to it. That is also explain how to on the forums here and the link to it was given a few posts back.

[RDC]

Make sure that small piece of black foam is under the contacts for the Daughter board or none of the buttons will work.

[RDC]

Make sure it's plugged in right then.

What is the exact problem any way?

Check the fuse, it's marked SW3 on the bottom of the board. If it's good, then I'd need too see the board and know exactly what you did to it, and how, or I can't even guess what it might be.

[RDC]

There's no point in putting a jumper on a good fuse, but you can to see if it makes any difference. I've never seen one go bad.

[RDC]

Without a meter you're not going to get anywhere, and even then it's hard to tell what it could be. If you soldered anything on the board then double check that and make sure nothing has shorted.

You can take a pic if you like, but unless it's a really good pic of both sides it's not going to help much.

[RDC]

That doesn't really help much. I can see that the battery connector and just about every TP spot has been soldered on though, so it's hard to tell what might be wrong with it.

[RDC]

You need to compare it to a working controller, there's no one thing or a few things that should be checked. The PS3 controllers are fairly complex and not easy to trouble shoot, and I don't get many bad ones to work on here, and have never had one fail on me, so you're really going to have to get a good one of the same or similar version and do some comparison checking to try and find out what the problem is with that one there.

Sorry for the very late reply and the updates. RDC, I cannot thank you enough in how much you've helped me getting through with my controller. I've pulled it through every thing works perfectly fine. once again thanks alot RDC.
