If you didn't want to buy a T8H, you could just open it the old fashioned way, back when the 360 first came out and nobody knew what a T8H was. Ad from shop wwwxcmcc Here at Custom Controllers, we offer the quickest build and delivery for all of our controllers. I believe you used the default ledcalc.com Guru to calculate your resistor, which in most cases is fine. Sellers looking to grow their business and reach more interested buyers can use Etsys advertising platform to promote their items. It says the LED's voltage norm is 3.0 volts, so is a resistor necessary? Using different colors like red,green,blue, and yellow would each require their own resistor. ControllerStickz While your voltage may be fine, a 3v supply for a 2.9v LED, the current will not be regulated. There are five or six solder pins going through the mainboard, they hold the power and you should solder directly to them. The button should be able to rest in its slot without the legs touching any part of the casing or impeding its movement. KaioShopDE ad by DecorFab Ad from shop CCController Looking back now (Jan 2009), and having experience with using these controllers and the wires snapping, and having to reinstall them, I now recommend using 22-24 AWG wire. (30% off), ad by opone The wattage rating is the maximum amount of heat the resistor can give off, you can have a far higher rating than required and still be fine, just don't overload the resistor.The Power SourceIf you look at where the controller cable attached to the mainboard, you will see many colored wires. The process is practically identical for a 360 controller. All four a single solid color. :~(. Learn more. We took an awl or very small chisel, and smashed it with a hammer onto the center pin. Since we can't go higher than 3.0 volts, I put in 2.9v, and got a 5.6 Ohm 1/8 W resistor. Pay the rest over 6 weeks. Ad from shop GamersClub If you use a red LED, which is rated for 1.9v, and overvolt it to 3.0v, it will be extremely bright, around 40% brighter. You wouldn't want to tap power from the microphone pins, since they transmit data and can cause problems if you tap into them. To keep things simple, always have the positive leg of the leg facing towards the top of the controller (view the button letter to see the correct orientation).You will have to push, bend, and squeeze the led into the button, and once the LED base is in the center of the button, jam it into the bottom of the button with a small tool or one end of your needle nose pliers. At this point, if you are happy with the A, B, X, and Y buttons being lit up, you can hot glue your connections to secure/insulate them (see next page) and put your controller back together. The back of the controller will come in black, dark blue or white at random depending on what parts are available at the time of order.This product does not include the factory box, it is not factory sealed.Build and shipping times: This product is not kept in-stock, each one is made to order. Different color LEDs can have different voltages. That extra brightness comes at a cost though, the LED will now last only about ~20,000 hours of constantly being on (which is still a ton) than the normal 80,000 hours. After having stripped the wire, add solder to the exposed core and add solder to the leg of the LED. Some reds are 2.0 volts, some blues are 3.4v. LEDsunder the joysticks are constant blue. If you pop the jewel out, remove the entire jewel and apply hot glue on the surface of the casing and reattach it.Another ResistorInstead of using two separate resistors as I did, if all of your LEDs are identical you could select a resistor that supports five LEDs, instead of my unprepared 4 & 1 method.I have attached a 68 Ohm resistor to the 5v supply, that supports a single 3.4v 25mA LED. Calculating a 3.0v source, with 2.9 draw @ 20mA and four LEDs wired in parallel makes for a single 1.5 Ohm 1/8W resistor in the case of four blue/green/white. Even if you are not experienced in soldering but would like to learn, read up on these guides and feel free to do this mod.How to SolderHow to Wire LEDs Captcha failed to load. 3DdesignBros Press the drill bit sideways against the casing to remove plastic.

From shop ControllerStickz, PLN132.26 Basically, as the voltage increases, so does the current (the mA) to the LED increasing brightness. Use ledcalc to determine your solution.Soldering Iron (15-30 watts, ~$15) - Any cheap heat based soldering iron will do.Solder ($5) - I recommend silver solder with a rosin core, the silver helps create a strong joint while the rosin helps flow into a clean connection.Needle nose Pliers ($8) - Used for bending the legs of LEDs and assisting in holding parts.Wire Clippers ($6) - Used to cut the legs of LEDs, resistors, and lengths of wire.Electrical Tape ($3) - Protects exposed wires from connecting to anything else in the controller.Power Drill with Drill Bits - Necessary for creating holes in buttons for LED legs, and shaping the controller casing to fit the modified buttons.Hot Glue Gun and Sticks ($10)- Used to electrically insulate connections and keep parts from moving around.

To turn on or turn off the lights within the controller, simply hold the menu button for five seconds. opone I think the minimum limit for a blue/green LED lighting up is around 2.4v or so (which would be extremely dim), so you're in the clear. Do not drill too far down as you can damage the base of the button where the letter is located, and possibly crack the letter.DrillingSelect a drill bit about the width of your 3mm LED and drill straight down into the button and remove the four plates. I don't have measurements for how much current that pin is running, only the voltage, so I have to tell you to use a resistor or something could fry. From shop opone, ad by KaioShopDE For your suggestion of 3k, I think it would be acceptable. Expect 5-10% more battery life/game time with no vibration. As I have four identical LEDs, I have opted for parallel wiring which requires only one resistor. The reverse is true as well, undervolting an LED will add more life.

Ad from shop StickyBunnyCo Great! I didn't exactly know how to say it, but when I said the rumble power, I meant the prongs on the mainboard that you attach it to to make them 'rumbled activated leds' as the llamma.com guide said. Hold the wires at the base of the LED together, and carefully twist the positive and negative wires together, this will let us have control over where our wires go. You will also want LEDs of at least 5,000mcd for this project, the brighter the better. Note that green/blue/white LEDS are all 2.9v (minimum, at optimal they are 3.4v, but that isn't possible in this install due to the 3.0v source), and red/amber LEDs are both 1.9v, meaning these color pairs could be in parallel, making for a total of two resistors. 3) If not, which prong for the rumble power (the prongs on the opposite side of the controller as the rumble adapter) is positive and which is negative? To complete this project, being comfortable with a soldering iron is recommended.
