 |
|
| I don't know if there is already a topic about this or not, but is there a way to fix the control box for a metal pad? My brother doesn't care about my ddr stuff and throws everything around and when I turned my game on the pad didn't work. This is also about the third control box I went through so yea...thx for any help |

1. Punch your bro.
2. See if the plugs are all plugging in right; no prongs bent or missing or anything.
3. If it's still broken, gently rattle it and listen for clanking around.

1) I wish i could
2)I'll try but probably not what what's wrong
3)If there is a clanking sound then what?
(edit): I think the control box is fine but the wire cover (the black plastic slip thing) got ripped off from the ps2 controller part, so I can see the red, orange, green, etc. wires and I think they came loose. |

then you cna carefully solder it back on (or if you dont want to solder or are afraid to you can some a nonconductive tape or clip to keep them in place (though it would require maintnace to keep the wires in the right places and i dont recomend it)
and if you cant punch your brother walk up behind him and hit him in the head with a brick thatll fix his little red wagon

Sounds similar to what happened to my old softpad, except that the connection was never harmed by it. It's right by the end of the PS2 male plug, right?

Yes, that was the part I was thinking of. I don't think theres any way of fixing that is there? And I am only twelve, and my dad isn't a good soderer, so that's out of the picture. |
