My little adventure fixing a Game Cube controller...

I had a GC controller with a problem in the analogic and wanted to test he analog before relacing.... I've made a thread asking for help...(It can be deleted now btw... why I can't do it since it have no replies? )

Well I actually went there to try and test chaging the analog with an old spare C I had here and see what could happen.

But, opening the damaged one, I noticed the analogs are a bit different, so I couldn't replace

The newer controller have screws to hold the analog piece, the old is soldered on the board, its for both analogs ...

So, let's just remove the bad one for now and then look for a new one...

See ? The board is cracked, first time I opened this it I haven't removed the black plastic, so I don't saw this crack there
This must be a defect, let's try to repair them!

There it is! trails all connected again! Don't mind my bad soldering skills...
And better yet, everything working like new now!
This controller was sited with me a time because I haven't much courage to try replacing, but I had some spare time and tools at works so I tried to get info here, got nothing but still wanted to utilize the free time I got there, and everything is under control now! :yayone:
Thanks for following me in this adventure xD

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
