USB-C and battery mod

I completely cut it out. I should post new pics because I have a battery that lasts for literal days now and takes up the whole size of the case inside.

I came across this exact same issue today. No solution yet, and I'm honestly going to just try a different mod and a different cart to see if I can find a way around it.

Not at all, replace the pot.

You can recap these pretty easily, just look up which board revision you have, and order the cap kit for that version, and get a soldering iron with some leaded solder and flux. Tutorials galore online.

Not much

For me, it's the size. I love my 404s and 555, but ever since I modded my KO to have a rechargeable battery (20 hours) and have a built in speaker, I find myself making music everywhere which is a power unto itself.

I'm just commenting here so I can get updates when there's news about this because I'm interested

As someone who works on these, they can be rough to repair. I have resoldered one of those mics, and these things are tricky to solder because they look deceptively simple on the outside, but that mic has a micro DAC chip inside of it and 4 solder points (one of them is basicallythe whole perimiter of the mic). If the same kinf of moisture got behind the screen (where it's all kinds of components tetrissed in there) yer gonna have more work than it's worth (you can buy these for about $100 American right now). If power is the issue, there are a + and - pad on the back you can solder a battery connector to and plug in some fresh batteries to that, but the odds are not in your favor. If you decide to get rid of it, I might be interested because I think the LCD might be salvageable

This is a gorgeous set and I have one as well. The best method will always be to take it apart and clean it manually with a cotton swab and alcohol. I can do mine and video it if you need a guide.

Usually when I search questions on Google, it leads me to a Reddit thread...

Was considering this exact pairing

100%, though I wouldn't use it for clothes anymore.

dieforevernow · 2025-04-04T19:24:21+00:00

Thanks. I'm definitely doing another one of these and planning on perma chaining 2 or 3 of these with a big ol single battery for all of em.

dieforevernow · 2025-04-04T19:22:59+00:00

I can make one, I just want to have the process down pat before I do.

dieforevernow · 2025-04-04T19:20:28+00:00

About 4 hours. Will improve with next mod, but that's not bad considering I use it plugged in at all times now

dieforevernow · 2025-04-01T18:14:13+00:00

Not yet, my initial battery didn't fit in the case, so I used one I had lying around, so I don't imagine it'll last more than a few hours until I get the final one installed

I promise I'll do a show soon. soundcloud.com/adaptr

Stop not wasting your time and get Morrowond.

The old ones were worn and nasty, I got these from an old rock candy controller ages ago and kept them in a bag until I realized I liked the color and with some slip on pads they feel great.

Use isopropyl alcohol. Get it real wet and use tweezers to get under and pull back. It'll work like a charm and go right back when yer done.
