In Reply to: Anyone ever hack PSX controller? NEED HELP w/Joystick!!!! posted by purbeast on 3, 2000 at 10:29 AM:
: I am having problems. For some reason, my solder is not sticking down to the PCB of the psx controller. I have tried a couple times. Is there a specific type of solder I should use? And also, on the microswitches ... do I solder to the 2 gold switches? or one to the gold, and one to the silver. Someone please help!!!

Before you solder be shure to scrape the clear coating off the top of the contact. I use a small
jewlers screwdriver of the tip of a razor blde to do the trick. When you have a bright shiny surface you are then ready to solder.
