Rock Band Guitar Mod: Guitar Hero Buttons and Strum Bar

Step 7Solder the PS2 GH Ribbon Cable to the Rock Band Button Control Board

Solder the PS2 GH Ribbon Cable to the Rock Band Button Control Board
Since the Rock Band ribbon cable is Soldered to the BACK of this circuit board, and probably covered over in hot glue (these guys LOVE hot glue), you may need to solder it on the front side of the board. (The side with the buttons.)

If so, you may need to cut the ribbon cable, so that the wires can be bent around the buttons.

One at a time, heat the solder contacts, and stick your ribbon cable wires in. It will probably be easier if you separate them all just a little.

Once they are in, It's time to test our handiwork!
