cleaning corroded solder pads
Anyone got any successful techniques? I've just been repairing an old game gear and a lot of the solder pads where the old capacitors were fixed to the board were pretty badly corroded and it made it very difficult to solder on the new ones. I tried cleaning them with vinegar, followed by baking sod...

Re: Problems with a snes controller build
Just checked trying to short pins on the board to see if it'd work, but no joy. I recon there could be 2 reasons. Either there's a short that I haven't found, or it could be because of a slightly higher resistance i'm getting on the clock wire? I verified that all the wires went to the right pins an...

Re: Problems with a snes controller build
Thanks mate. I'll see what can be done. Thing is though, i'm fairly confident in my joystick connections. They all go to a dsub connector and I can't see how there are any shorts. I'd previously had a 3rd party snes pcb wired in to the dsub, which worked without problems. I was replacing it with thi...

Re: Problems with a snes controller build
