gamerkim28:
After slaving over this mod and getting some help from a friend, I have done it. I officially have a dual-modded stick but with one issue:
The guide button is broken (or rather I accidently ripped off the part of the PCB that leads the guide button for the chip). This isn’t so bad on the PS3 side of things as Start+Select = Home. Unfortunately there is no alternative on the 360 side of things.
Lessons learned from this mod:
Use stranded wire. Solid wire is great when you only have scissors as your wire stripper, but it becomes annoying when its to stiff to move.
Extra hands are better. More people make the mod go by faster. Although hopefully I’ll be able to do this mod on my own next time.
Careful when dealing with the 360 PCB again. I broke my guide button when part of the wiring for the PCB broke.
Thank you for everyone that helped me though the journey. Hopefully next time I do this mod (which I plan to do), I won’t break my guide button (and actually manage to solder the Home button to it properly) and it will be a lot easier.
Congratz on the mod ^^. But, as an alternative point, I soldered to here for ease.
Or at lease the equivalent for the SE.

Yes, but gamerkim28 said he messed up the Trace from the pin on main PCB to the IC.
Now if the main PCB has Trace lifted, then soldering to the point you showed wouldn’t do anything.
Unless you are showing him alternate point for when gamerkim28 starts over with new PCB?

Oh, was just showing an alternative point to solder to. I doubt a new PCB is what he’d be looking for. Go ahead and layout the best IC point for him, but go easy, he’s new around here ;D
