Changing the LED lights inside your preferred controller is fairly easy. For each controller you will require a reasonable electrical power soldering iron, 60/40 rosin, a sponge, a pair of pointed tweezers, and your brand-new LEDs. You could utilize a greater electrical power iron, but it is safer to start with a reasonable watt so you prevent possibly destroying your motherboard. To open a 360 controller, you will require a t8 screwdriver. A small Phillips head screwdriver is used for the ps3. When taking the screws out of the 360 controller there is a hidden screw discovered inside the battery pack terminal behind the oblong shaped bar code sticker.
To start you will have to tin the soldering iron. This merely suggests to thaw rosin on the iron and then cleanse it off with your sponge. When cleaning the iron, I located it works best to obtain the sponge a little wet on one side. I like to clean the iron after each action to enhance contact.
Once you have the screws taken out there are a few steps you will wish to avoid breaking your controller case. To take apart the xbox 360 controller, you will have to push in the thumbsticks and delicately tear the controller apart. To prevent losing any of your buttons, I recommend applying a strip of tape to the front of the controller to hold everything in place. After you have done this, you will need to pull the rubber thumb sticks off their system, extract the motherboard, and set every little thing aside so you don't lose anything.
The PS3 controller is rather easier to dismantle. When you have the screws eliminated, you will simply pull the two halves apart. Next, you will pull the rubber joysticks off, and pull the tab that connects the R's and L's off their clip. You are now ready to remove the old lights from the motherboard.
To eliminate the LEDs, I like to utilize a method called drifting. To do this, you will have to melt some rosin on the iron till it makes a little bit of bubble on the iron itself. It might appear like it is going to fall off, but do not fret, it will remain on the iron. As soon as you have this done, you will drift the bubble back and forth across the LED to eliminate it. This will most likely take simply a couple of seconds and the LED will stick to the rosin. Then you will simply cleanse the iron off and duplicate the process for each light.
Applying the brand-new LEDs is a little more difficult than taking them off. Initially, you will have to look at the bottom of the new LED and determine which side the arrow on the bottom is pointing. You will need to point the arrow to the negative side of the motherboard. If you can not figure this out, turn the power to the controller on and the LED will light up if you have correctly lined it up. I such as to leave the battery pack and the back half of the controller connected. This is so I could make use of the contact pad to turn the controller on. For the ps3, you could simply plug in the charging cable. When you have straightened them correctly, you will use your tweezers to hold the LED in place and simply add a little bit of rosin to both side and you are done. It may take some time however a little practice will make things a great deal easier. Now you are ready to show off your newly light controller with your most loved color lights!
