Turn off button for lazy ppl

[Kingofrandom78]

This is how to add an extra button to ure xbox controller that will turn on/off ure xbox.

first off open ure xbox


now remove the front panel and solder some wire to the on/off button (bottom left or bottom right)


then tape it down


now, locate the yellow wire comin from the first port and cut it


now connect the wire soldered to the power button


solder and tape


now, grab ure controller and open it


locate the connectors on the front of da controller


now find the yellow and ground


solder some wire onto ure button as shown(sorry, i dont kno the name of this type of button)


solder ure button to the yellow and ground


test that it works(mine does)


next, grab ure controller case and find somwhere to insert ure button


theres a tight squeeze where it put it so no glue needed

heres mine finished

em. possibly. ud hav ta make shure dat u get a good connection. btw dats dats da only type of button dat will work.

Dice, if your going to try this, I'd recommend Soldering and possibly sticking a dab of hot glue. But definitely solder. Ensures a proper connection between the two electrical components. Where as you run the risk of getting hot glue between say your wire and the solder point which can cause some irritating problems.

would it be possible just to take out the button with desoldering braid then do it,  or does the button need to be there?

[Snafupossum]

what button, the one on the xbox?

[Kingofrandom78]

You mean just steal a button from something else? ive never bought any electrical components, i just take em from other things

[timmay1215]

yeah but i'm looking for one in other spots before

[Kingofrandom78]

ok, your taking a button from something else.

now what are you looking for? where to find one?

[timmay1215]

yeah i tried a radio clock didn't find anything, now i have no ideas on where to look


Would a pushbutton like this work?

[Kingofrandom78]

no it wudnt. cos they stay down and we only need a small signal to go threw the yellow/ground.


i find a lot of these in rc car controllers. or if you find a broken xbox controller the thumb clicks are those kind of buttons.
