So, the subject line probably says it all, but I bought the 360 Chun Li stick and attempted modding it with the Toodles Chimp PCB. In doing so, I ignored the warning of ‘must be good at soldering’ and tried to do it myself anyway. To make a long story short, I completely ruined the 5v hole on the 360 PCB, so, the 360 side of the house no longer works. Since the common ground is still okay, it still works wonderfully on my PS3 and PC. Luckily I have SSF4 and MvC3 on PS3, so, I’m okay for now.
Anyway, so, what are my options here? I thinking I have 3 options
Get a controller, rip the board out of it and solder it in place of the original board
Get a cheap SE stick and hopefully be able to take the PCB board out of and plug it right in where the current one is
Leave it, and be happy something works
I’m leaning towards #2 at the moment, mostly because it’s the lesser of the soldering jobs, but will that work? Like say if I wanted to pick up the WWE Brawl stick, rip out the PCB in it, then burn the WWE stick so no one knows I bought it? Think it would work, assuming its the same PCB?
Pretty sure there are plenty of other places on the PCB you can solder to for the +5v. Worst case scenario is you may need to scrape yourself a new solder point for it.
Okay, so, update, pics can come later, so I soldered the red wire that I was using for the +5v to the big brassy U2 area and plugged it into the 360. This time, still didn’t work, but the chimp only lights blue and red, not green. It did this to me before, but unplugging/replugging solved the problem. Not this time. Any initial thoughts?
It works!!! Turns out the the + USB cable going to the Chimp was disconnected for some unknown reason. Anyway, re-screwed it in and everything works now! Thanks everybody, off to play MvC3 with friends
