I was doing a dual mod in my ps3 TE. I tapped into the back of the board for my home button but the trace ripped off after i was done. Now the home button doesnt work (not that i needed it) but i am wondering how i can fix it? i dont have a problem running a patch wire if somebody knows where to run it from/to
bump
Post some pictures so we can figure out exactly which trace you’re talking about.
ill take a picture when i pull the stick apart next. but its this one
the circlular pad that the black wire has been soldered too
there’s a trace at the front of the PS3 PCB. You might need to unscrew the back, where the red gunk is visiable, and open it up. There is a HUGE metal contact that sits right next to home.
ok thanks networking puppy, ill remove the plastic cover/bevel tommorow and take a look since the rest of the controller is already apart because i want to paint it tommorow.
