Simple Xbox 360 Rapid Fire Mod

Step 6Put It All Back

Put It All Back
Are the switch pins going to make contact with anything on the other half of the controller when reassembled?

Are all of the wires free from places of movement or screw holes?

Are the solder joints correct and not dry?

Are all of the annoying black pieces of the controller back on their positioning pins?
(they are annoying as they have a habit of coming off the pins half way through putting it back together)

Has your soldering iron made suitably sized black marks on your window ledge?

Four out of five is good enough to continue.

For a quick test, replace the battery and depress your switch all the way. If the player one led lights up very dimly, then the mod worked!

Now try putting it back together without breaking anything.

If your reg trigger doesn't work you could of pulled the solder pad away from the trace on the circuit board....to fix this you need to scrape away some of the green mask on the board and solder a wire to that and then to the leads poking through.

lofty1 when you soldered it did you solder the wire to the thin silver line by your player 1 led?

Yeah I had the same problem. take the mod off. it won't work for that controller. It did this to my BLACK ELITE controller. (It doesn't work for these type of controllers due to the TP2 and/or resistor on it or something). To get the normal trigger to work again I pushed in the white slot where the rumble pack goes because directly behind it are the soldering points for the trigger. When taking the rumble pack out it slightly disconnected it so simply push it back onto the controller for a tighter fit.

Hi, so does the color of the controller matter at all? I have a black and a white. And what is better the older controller or a newer one?
