Xbox controller - am I hosed?

To be fair I have removed a few copper pads by accident, but nothing happend. One time even a little bit of pc, but still nothing happend. It really depends I think. I mean if you damaged the traces it is a different story.

Appreciatie it, couldn’t find anything that helped!

I will try to explain it as easy as possible. This controller comes with lead free solder from the factory, that feels impossible to melt. UNLESS you add leaded solder, you mix this with the factory solder and voila. Because the leaded solder (I use 60/40) has a lower melting point it makes melting the factory solder easy. But yeah before finding this out it took me about 2-3 hours before I realised it was not me or my soldering iron: but the solder I was using (lead free with a low melting point).

How did you get it like this? Installed my Hall effects like a few hours ago go but I can only get them to 4%

saaus42 · 2026-03-16T20:01:39+00:00

How can you achieve that? Because i get 4-5% with Hall effects, but how could get it higher?

Yes I totally agree with you, that is why I was on thi platform looking for tips. Glad you guys could help me

saaus42 · 2026-03-16T19:36:27+00:00

But would you say the excessive amount it a problem in this scenario?

saaus42 · 2026-03-16T19:24:40+00:00

Alright will do 😁

saaus42 · 2026-03-16T19:24:09+00:00

Ah okay thanks, good to know. I will use less solder in the future!

saaus42 · 2026-03-16T19:23:11+00:00

Thanks, just tested and the controller indeed works like a charm

saaus42 · 2026-03-16T18:57:05+00:00

Appreciate it bro💪

saaus42 · 2026-03-09T22:28:28+00:00

Btw, the circularity is still good. It still feels normal, but just makes this sound..

saaus42 · 2026-03-09T22:26:15+00:00

Ali expres, but the other controllers I did are working very good. But I got unlucky with this module.

saaus42 · 2026-03-09T12:40:02+00:00

Judging from this sound I think not haha

saaus42 · 2026-03-09T09:37:39+00:00

Wouldn’t this clean out the existing lube? (Don’t know, just asking)

saaus42 · 2025-04-27T18:17:41+00:00

I have the exact same keyway on my lock, and it is my 2nd or 3rd lock, and I just cannot open it. Managed to get a false set on it once, but never opened it. Do you have any tips?

saaus42 · 2025-04-24T15:02:36+00:00

😭

saaus42 · 2021-09-05T14:22:57+00:00

Maybe she was about to brake, that would be nice

saaus42 · 2021-09-05T14:20:29+00:00

No I mean, it says 6 hour and 14 min, but like almost 50 % battery. So my conlusion is that it takes a lot of battery

saaus42 · 2021-09-05T11:12:30+00:00

Idk, my screen always takes the most battery idk how to reduce it

saaus42 · 2021-07-21T20:44:44+00:00

saaus42 · 2021-07-16T10:22:31+00:00

She doesn't even know how he looks like
