Hey guys, heres the deal i attempted the controller power mod these are steps i took. ok i soldered a wire to the yellow wire on controller port #1 and soldered the end of it to the (if you are looking at the back of the p/e board) bottom left leg for the momentary switch for the power button. after that i went to my controller. i drilled a hole for the momentary switch. After that i took out the yellow wire that is connected to the controller, and solder another wire to that so that it would be long enough to connect to the switch. once i did that i soldered it to one of the two legs on the momentary switch. Then i took out the controller board and soldered a wire to the 5v and then connected it to the momentary switch. The controller closed fine, no wires got disconnected, but i cant power the xbox on with the momentary switch on my controller or the power button on the xbox itself. the only way i can turn it on is by pressing the eject button. Please help
