Modding My '2x D-pad, Spare Gba Parts.

[aaron11193]

Thanks Gruso...

I did it with my multimeter and i worked out that i adnt soldered the ground wire properly..

I fixed that and all the directions work except left.. But thats because i accidentally ripped the copper out of the hole while i was removing the stick.. I found a place where i can solder to and itll work =D
About to do it now, just went to work to get more soldering iron gas..

I cant get at the solder point!!
It's pissing me off its going to die!!

hokay.. is there anywhere else on the mobo i can solder to get a left signal??
coz this is damn near impossible to do what im trying to do... :angry:

Using a smaller D-pad mobo would have helped (eg G&W, GameBoy, etc). You can solder to the traces if you sand the trace to show the copper, add some flux and solder to the point. Flux is great to solder to traces.

Good effort so far though aaron11193. I've been thinking about doing this recently too. Just need to secure GBA pad and board. What other pad and board combo's could be used?
