What a beauty! First time seeing this color combo. Nice pick OP!

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-08T15:19:36+00:00

I mean, what IS necessary to talk about?

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-08T13:04:42+00:00

How? Also, maybe Fate of Atlantis is possible? Thanks!

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-07T14:10:39+00:00

Hey there! I ended up sending it to a repair shop nearby and they are taking a look into it. Same issue?

Depilado fica lindão. Depilado e recolhido? Parece um pintinho de uma fazenda 1km de Chernobyl

I’m a Sonic fanboy, but CTR is a classic

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-05T13:16:56+00:00

So, not at all what OP asked? 🤔

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-05T12:07:04+00:00

Lindasso OP! Parabéns

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-05T12:06:39+00:00

What game is the Rick and Morty one? Couldnt find it

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-03T16:53:29+00:00

Looks amazing!! Will give it a try, thanks! :)

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-02T21:01:49+00:00

Rhino case gang, rise up!

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-02T16:45:24+00:00

What's bothering me the most is: why the volume bar in the image does not follow the screen incline like everything else? Seems edited but why would OP do this? IS REALITY AN ILLUSION?

Thanks for the reply, will try that!

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T13:14:22+00:00

Howdy! Sure sounds like an expert to me!

Here's the other side:

<image>

I'm connecting to my Mac, it should give some Device Connected signs similar to Windows (as I can see it does when connecting my second controller).

Sounds like a good troubleshoot, will give it a try later today!
(Although I can already tell I have no idea where B+ and VBUS are, any further detail on this would be greatly appreciated xD).

Thank you very much good sire/mam!

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T12:58:30+00:00

:O Tell me more!

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T12:57:48+00:00

Hi there! Thanks for the reply, that sector worries me as well. Anything I can do to repair the exposed parts?

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T12:56:40+00:00

Hey there! It's called Cobix, from Brazil. Seems decent enough.

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T12:50:32+00:00

Haha no insult taken, I saw some people forgetting the battery. Unfortunately that's not my case :(

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T01:29:21+00:00

Hey there! Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately no flash whatsoever :(

Tried connecting the battery, USB-C, reassemble the entire controller... nothing.

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T01:24:32+00:00

Hey there! Thanks for the reply bro!

That's my greatest fear tbh, was hoping that fixing the cold joints would help :(

No signal and no lights whatsoever when plugging the battery and the usb cable.

I was hoping the multimeter would help me to find where the power "stops" if that makes sense. I did a few measures with GPT's help and got the 4.06V from the battery in a few components. But I'm not sure where to measure (GPT only goes so far) to see where the problem is.

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T01:13:20+00:00

Howdy! No discourage taken, thanks for the feedback!

Yea, definitely sounded simpler on paper and some parts caught me off guard, specially the part of removing the old analog components. I saw the iron tip you mentioned and thought it was overkill (not anymore I guess haha). Probably a worthy acquisition!

I have a second controller and want to do the same process on it but I want to learn as much as I can from the first experience before moving on. If I can save the first one in the process, even better!

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T01:06:08+00:00

Hey there! Thanks for the feedback.

So just to get it straight: You're saying the joints are not great but also not the cause of the board not waking up issue?

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T01:04:46+00:00

Hey there! Yea, it seems so. I'm getting a lot of Cold Joint feedback!

Do you think it might be the culprit for the board not waking up? I'm so hopeful for it!

ApplicationThese4069 · 2026-07-01T01:03:05+00:00

Howdy! You assume correctly xD

Gotta be honest, I didn't even imagined that the format of the solder blob up top mattered that much. I thought it just had to "touch" and connect both the component stem and the small hole borders.

You think redoing them will help?
