Title: 360 Controller (component Identification Help).
Post by: BuyItModIt on September 04, 2006, 03:53:00 AM

Hi, I modded my official xbox360 controller to have blue led's instead of the green stock ones. In the process I accidentally knocked a very small component off the circuit board. It is black, rectangular & flat & has 3 connectors, one on the top, two on the bottom. It has WV3 58 engraved into it if you look at it closely in the light. There are loads of them all over the xbox360 controller circuit board.

I need to buy a replacement component from maplin.co.uk but I don't know what the component is. I measured it's resistance with my multimeter (set to 2000 Ohms), all of these components on the circuit board measure an average of 220 ohms. I don't think they are resistors though as they have 3 connectors. I can't just solder it back onto the circuit board because one of the three connectors has broken off, leaving not enough connection left to solder to.

Here's a drawing of it I did with MsPaint: (IMG:http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h91/garlicjnr2001/component.jpg)

Please tell me what it is, & where I can buy a replacement one (preferably from a UK website) if it's not available from  maplin.co.uk Thanks.

It's a dual 30V 0.2A schottky barrier diode in a SOT23 package

Wow thanks. I tried maplin.co.uk but this is all I could find. Then I tried ebay & found this. They look like they only have 2 connections, but would 2 of these work (to make it "dual")? If so how should they be positioned/connected? Thanks again.

Looks like a transistor to me.

In the process of fixing laptops/notebooks & making a video projector, I had to open up a couple of laptops, they had loads of the components mentioned above. So I opened up the faulty one, tested a couple of the components, & found one, 220 ohms, so now I can desolder it & then solder it to the 360 controller. Cheers.
