That's what I was thinking, but I can't seem to find any points that measure to that using my multimeter. Not sure though, maybe im doing something wrong.

@geoldr read my post again i edited it.

Looks great, when I get home I'll take the controller apart and look into it.

Ill post again when I have some results.

i think it's a switched supply line because the enable input for the chip is connected with the +, so this chip would use it maximum power, else they would have used the enable input to switch between standby and power on..
this is my guess anyway.

you need a small resistor between the led, maybe something like 200ohm.

2 points on the left analouge stick (furthest 2 to the right on the horizontal row)

This is your best bet I have done many of these mods before

NO RESISTORS ARE NEEDED JUST WIRE AND AN LED AND A SOLDERING IRON AND SOLDER will get a pic up if you want

Might not be these exact pins but they won't be hard to find .. Hope this helps

(might be slightly different pins but still on the analouge stick)

This is originally what I wanted to do, but if you look at the pictures I posted - the layout is way different. And this method no longer works. Ive tried many combinations of points using my multimeter, but its just not getting any readings. The only readings I've gotten was from the battery posts.

did you allready measured my point to ground?

I have, and it is getting a reading. But honestly, those points are too small for my skill level of soldering. When I first saw this mod online, they use the analog stick soldering points which i can easily do. I just dont have the proper tools and steady hands to solder that small!

if you unplug the battery and use a multimeter at low ohm position, and have one testplug on the point i showed you and measure solder points around the board for a 0-1 ohm reading, maybe you can find a better spot to solder.

EDIT: @geoldr , if you turn the board around you will see the red trace i marked, it is connected to the trace you find to small, i think this one have a couple connections with the ic on the right, maybe that's a better position?

again use your multimeter to confirm low resistance.

Do any of the fat analog solder points provide a power? I found grounds on the board that I can solder too, but I can't get a decent power. You've mentioned that you have some data sheets, do they say anything about these solder points?
