Very nice tutorial man. Good close up pics. Well explained. Excellent. I want mine blue to match the LED's in my 360. Not sure I wanna take the risk tho. If I do I'm following this tut tho that's for sure. Great job man. _________________________________________________________

I wouldn't use a trace pen on the controller nice idea tho wes. Not to sound like an ass or anything but with his soldering skills it looks like he would do more damage than good with it. Now dont take that the wrong way or anything like everything else it requires practice. i would just do the trace repair with 30 gauge wire ive had to do it on my first controller that i botched because i had my iron to hot. and i would solder both sides not just because it takes 2 seconds all you have to do is touch it with the iron but just so you dont have problems in the future if the 1 solder joint breaks for any reason it could potentially ground out and short your controller _________________________________________________________
