Any common problems?

I already checked for shorts in my circuit, but i could not find any.

You might have damaged the circuit board. If you used too hot of a gun or got solder on the circuit board, that might cause some issues.

Run the button test code for you install, duo or sleeper. It sounds like user error on the install to me. The buttons you said is basically the whole right side of the PCB install. If you soldered to the VIA holes rather that the traces, that might be your problem. VIA holes can be tricky to get a good connection out of.

i was talking about the xbox 360 circuit board. And yeah, do what irishstyle suggested, sometimes a reprogram is all it needs. And be sure to check "allow word configuration"

Yea i did soldered to the VIA holes not traces because I didn't want to tear up the traces...
Thanks for the advice I will try that.

Well I'm going to need some info from you.

What type of Xbox360 controller PCB are you working with?

What type pf wire are you working with?

When did you buy the DIY kit? (Only asking this because we are going through a crappy stash of boards, not our fault, Damn Chinese dudes)

How did scrap away the "GREEN" solder mask?

What happen when you ran the button test code?

Irish the VIA holes is the only thing I solder to. But I have a super sweet trick that I use to get the best connection. I use 220grit sandpaper to remove the solder mask. Works like a champ.....

Wouldn't the buttons still work properly without the chip powered on? Because all you are basically doing is jumping off the buttons. Unless they were shorted together or something like that. Fredrow why couldn't he go to the traces? Am I missing something?

You can go off of the trace, but if he screwed up and ruined the trace or the VIA hold while he was removing the green solder mask then the buttons would not work at all......

I have a CG1 board.

What type pf wire are you working with?
Uhhmm... 30 gage wire I got from radio shack.

When did you buy the DIY kit? (Only asking this because we are going through a crappy stash of boards, not our fault, Damn Chinese dudes)
Early november, Its been a wile, never had time to install it.

How did scrap away the "GREEN" solder mask?
Razor blade.

What happen when you ran the button test code?
The player 3 and 4 buttons flashed randomly but only one at a time.

No. When I get home I will disconnect those buttons and try. But with the mod hooked up no. They don't work at all.

What is a DMM?

I don't mean to sound rude, but do you have any ELECTRONICS skills at all??

Sounds to me like you F#*CKED up your controller. Sounds like someone went a little to overboard with the razor blade when removing the solder mask.
