I have a hori ex 2 for 360. Button #2 works 50%, I want someone to put in new buttons + solder the connections so it’s permanent. I’m located in 626 so I’m looking for someone that’s within 30 miles or so and can do it for about $30 bucks. I don’t mind driving the stick to you for the work. Unfortunately only one modder from the sticky list can do the work but is asking about $70 bucks.
send me a PM
I know that Modder is me.
Laugh.
sainthuey: Check PMs, please
For $30, you should buy a soldering iron, some solder, a spool of wire, and a blank PCB (or a soldering practice kit, or whatnot).
Practice a little on the blank PCB, and when you feel confident, do the mod yourself.
By this point, you’ll probably realize that $70 is a fair labor charge for the EX2, but you’ll have gained some valuable experience, and the ability to fix some small electronics =P.
The $70 was actually total for Buttons and install.
Install by modding the Control Panel to fit the Buttons.
Install by modding the Buttons to fit the modded Control Panel.
Install by modding the Microswitches to fit the holes of PCB, since he doesn’t want Quick Disconnect.
My labor charge is $45 for this mod.
that actually sounds about right considering all these hori sticks i’ve had to grind out with a dremel, do clean wiring and install buttons to the pcb.

Yes, there is a lot of work involved to modify these things.
I’m cool with sainthuey thinking my price is too high.
And it is cool if he wants to find other Modder.
That is why I add the Laugh at end.
But what wasn’t cool is that I got left hanging.
I wait for his reply in e-mail, because he want me to buy the Buttons for him also.
So I was just waiting, not being informed that he does not want my Service anymore.
I come to Trading Outlet and see that sainthuey makes this Thread.
How do you think that is?
MonoTekETeA, remove LpbM from the List please.
He is against SRK Rules.
La(RENCE) is on the Scammers, Thieves List.
So he should not be on the Modders List either.
$30 + parts sounds almost reasonable if not low, but $30 total?
New buttons with shipping included cost about $ 25. And then expending 2 $3 grinding stones for a dremel to widen the holes?
That $30 doesn’t cover the expenses.
