I trying to install the Rapid Fire Gear Pro on my version 2 wireless controller and I can't figure out how to get the LB0 & RB0 wires to solder to the controller board. They both appear to be soldered on the xBox Controller board over a pin hole (in the instructions, is there traces around the hole?), but the solder doesn't seem to want to stick to the board, maybe I am not scrapping deep enough. Any tips/tricks/instructions would be appretiated. At first I had a similar problem connecting the VCC wire but after browsing through the forums, I figured you scrap the trace entering the hole (it is pretty easy to scrap in the center of the trace) a little before soldering it, this provided some silver stuff for the solder to bond too. But the traces for the LB0 & RB0 holes are way smaller. Last edited by msaltz; 03-11-2009 at 12:09 AM. |

You need to scrape the insulation off the point and solder to it. Just stop when you get enough copper showing through to make a connection. A picture would also help.

for the 6 soldering points, are they all pin holes or do you have to scrape some traces as well

Those you will need to scrape the pcb to reveal the points to solder to.
