Full Version: Pad Problem...

O.K. here's the skinny!

I was playing on my XBOX recently and noticed that the left analogue stick on one of my pad's had a fault that would create movement to the right on it's own, when it WASN'T being pressed... dry.gif

So I figured since I had a broken PSX analogue pad, I'd just remove the analogue sticks from there and 'swap' them with the ones in my XBOX pad... smile.gif

Everything went fine when swapping the first analogue stick (the left one) which was the faulty one anyway, so I figured I'd replace the other one just in case it developed a 'similar' fault... tongue.gif

Unfortunately as I levered this one out of the board (the right stick) I accidentally slipped with some tweezers I was using and ripped THREE surface mount components off the board!!! blink.gif

Thankfully, the solder pads that they were attached to are STILL intact, so this would be an EASY fix...if ONLY I had the values for the components!!! wink.gif

So here's where YOU come in (whoever you might be...) rolleyes.gif

If someone can either provide me with the values for the components, or are willing to part with a 'broken' pad that I can remove the required components from, I'd REALLY appreciate it... smile.gif

Here's the details... tongue.gif

Original (Large) XBOX Pad...

Missing components:

C113 (Capacitor) = ?
C103 (Capacitor) = ?
R6 (Resistor) = ?

I hope someone out there has the soldering skills / tools to help as I DON'T really want to have to try and de-solder these from a working pad just to get their values - I'd end up risking breaking another pad! sad.gif

(de-soldering surface mount is a LOT harder than soldering them TO a circuit board!) ph34r.gif

Also, they'd HAVE to be removed before testing, as the 'in-circuit' values would be incorrect! sad.gif

Hope someone has the mad-skillz to help! biggrin.gif

Thanx! wink.gif

(Oh, and obviously no replies like "GO BUY A NEW PAD!") rolleyes.gif

Unfortunately my meter won't measure capacitance. So I'll pull those components off a flaky pad later this evening and mail em to you. PM me your address (and the components you need in case I forget to track down this message again)

PS I want to see your modded controller with the PS2 thumbsticks smile.gif

[edit] it would make more sense if I just mailed you the whole PCB... long day at work, LOL

Actually, I've not checked this post in AGES...and I got so fed up with no one being able to help that I did the following... mad.gif

1. Took my other 'working' pad...
2. Desoldered the SAME surface mount components...
3. Measured the values...

And the values are: -

C113 = 2.634 nano Farad (can be replaced with 2.7 nano Farad)
C103 = 588.3 pico Farad (can be replaced with 560 pico Farad)
R6 = 27 ohms (can be replaced with 27 ohms - DUH!)

Oh, and there's no point showing you a picture of my pad, since I ONLY replaced the actual control sticks... tongue.gif

The plastic attachments that go on TOP of the sticks are just the ordinary XBOX stick attachments... tongue.gif

So the pad looks just like before! rolleyes.gif

Oh, and BOTH pads now work just fine! biggrin.gif

Anyhow thanks to you Perplexer for even READING my post, whist everyone else sat on their collective PHAT A$$E$! dry.gif

Nuff said! cool.gif
