Guitar Hero World Tour Cymbal Fix

Step 4 Attach wires to internal mini plug.

Now we know the wires we connected talk correctly from the piezoelectric to the drum set. Now we'll connect those wires to the internal mini-plug at the closest solder pads possible. This eliminates several possible points of failure along the transmission of the signal. In my case, this fixed the cymbal. I'm guessing it will fix many other cymbals that are non-functional as well.

Attached the wires as shown in the image to the solder points on the circuit board. ( For the orange cymbal it will be a mirror image. ) One of the points of failure may be the solder joint from the circuit board to the mini-plug. Because of this, make sure to melt the solder point completely as you attach the wires. This will re-flow the solder and make a good connection.

Now test out your handy work by plugging the cymbal in and tapping on things. If it registers.. Congratulations! you have fixed your cymbal.
