Xbox Controller LED Mod
A quick post about the LED mod for xbox 360 controller
Welcome
This is a quick post about the LED mod for the xbox 360 controller. I had a few issues.
This was a follow on from my modding xbox 360 series:
Idea
The idea of LED modding the xbox 360, it gives the console a different look and personality. Tired of looking at the green LEDs (Hopefully not red ones :D ) change them with simple tools.
Tools Used
- Soldering Iron
- Solder with flux
- 0603 LEDs x4 (Get some spare)
- Bodge Wire
Finished Images
Issue
I encountered an issue when removing the old LEDs, I used the solder float method to remove the old ones but didnt use enough solder on the iron causing a pad to get ripped up.
I was able to resovle by following the trace , scraping off the pcb coating and adding a bodge wire.
I had soldered in the first half of the LED then added the wire to make it easier to work with ** Note I had placed the wire around the contact pad for the home button.**
That’s it. Thanks for viewing!
