Wired Xbox 360 Controller

[anotherdude]

Cable on my controller was being a pain and had to be twisted or moved to get it to work, so decided to remove the wire and solder directly all went well, until i forgot to tape up the shielding of the cable.

Put it back together and now have a controller what lights up but isn't picked up by windows, theres one visible blown part but I can' make out the whole of the part number.

Anyone able to or from this image?

Q8 being the part in question http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...C%20Mod/11.jpg

you are a week late!
just had one apart to replace a switch.
wi? most are digital transistors.

i'm not too sure but the rest of them on the controller are WV3 66 which I can't find much info on other than it maybe a SOT-23 I think anyway

or not seems the rest are all Dx labelled whereas this is Q8

It looks like the number starts with W1 to me.

found a much better image after some googling

a variation of BFT92

Re: Wired Xbox 360 Controller

Good job. I was searching for a clearer shot too. W1P is what I see.

any idea on what that is?

a few different ones I can see, but can't find any info on the original part number

Re: Wired Xbox 360 Controller

That's about as close as I have gotten too at other sites. Not definitive but things point to a PNP wide band RF transistor.

may order one and hope

Is that glue or solder smeared on the Q8 pins and to the left of the chip? If solder you may have a short there between pin 2 and 3 through those honeycomb copper planes.

it's solder, was already damaged before the solder got there, me trying to remove it earlier and left some there.
