Clear, concise instructional video on how to install LEDs in your Xbox controller.

I sell it or Radio ...
I sell it or Radio Shack. $1.50 for 1 foot length of? the same solder I use for all installations with XBOX 360 controllers.

Ok were? the f**k do u get sodder from

LMAO I just ...
LMAO I just remembered when I was first soldering like the very first time I was? trying it out I watched a vid of some guy doing it and he never told us what the melted stuff on the soldering iron and so I thought it was melted hot glue gun refills, Oh god my controller I was testing now has a big bashy mess around the leds And I ended up breaking one led slot. If only I knew it was melted solder.... Aww well everything has a first time XD

it? is hard for me to put them on

Didn't have a ...
Didn't have a soldering iron but found one? at frys electronics for 2.99 and I tried to replace the LEDs and worked wonderful.

i got a soldering iron for 5.95 with shipping? from amazon

ok cool? thanks

- You need to move ...
- You need to move back and forth between the two points when the soldering iron is hot. You can tell it is hot enough when the solder melts instantly. It takes about 2-4 minutes for the iron to reach the right temp. Then move back and forth so the solder you put on touches each side and melts it. With the combination and light pressure, the old LED will eventually slide off. Do not force it off otherwise you will? end up ripping off the old LED with the contact point that you need

i put some sotter on the soldering iron and touched both ends? and tried getting the LED off but its like stuck to the board,,,,*****please help

where do u get these leds? and how much do they cost?

did you break it? ...
did you break it? what happened? did the controller stop working or do the lights just not work? I am considering doing this to my controller and if the lights don't work if I fail then that is okay, but if the controller stops working then I would get p**sed and probably won't try this?

Radio Shack sells it. Or if you order? from us, ask us for some solder when you check out.

ok i have 1 ...
ok i have 1 question i have a soldering iorn 15 watts but how do i? get solder

It should be more ...
It should be more than fine, the risk with using more than 15w is if you hold the point too long, (2 seconds -ish) you might start burning the board or other issues. I have heard that older soldering irons don't heat up enough and then people get frustrated and end up ripping the LEDs off with too much force. The LED should literally "float" off, just cover the existing contact points with solder, move back and forth to keep them both hot, and? it will float off easily.

Ok, thankyou. I ...
Ok, thankyou. I have a 25w soldering iron.? Would that be fine?

_try a newer 15w ...
_try a newer 15w soldering iron and giving it about 5-10 minutes to heat up. Once at the right temp, and with enough solder, the back and forth motion should ease the LEDs off. putting them back on requires just as much patience. Its not hard, but don't expect it to just snap in place. Practice on? something old first. Good Luck

I just tried this ...
I just tried this myself...first time ever? soldering, and i just failed. lol. I wouldnt recommend this for first timers. =[

No Problem!?
