Disable motion on Xbox one remote

[Rodville]

Ok I have a strange request. I have the Xbox one media remote and overall I like it except for one "feature" it has an Accelerometer chip that wakes it up when it detects movement. Its great in theory but in practice it eats though batteries like a fat kid at a cake factory. My kids have the annoying habit of leaving it on the couch and I have to replace the batteries two or more times a week. The set that came with it started leaking the first week I had the thing.

I took it apart and found the chip in question but what I want to know is, If I cut the power trace on the board will that kill it without affecting any other remote function? And if so what trace do I cut? I'm not great with IC chips yet.

It's a Model 1577 http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/a...s/media-remote

The Accelerometer chip is a KXCJ9 https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...35152cbad3.pdf

and here is how it looks on the board.

Id look at int pin 7. Physical Interrupt. On some of the accelerometers iv played with its used to wake the cpu from sleep.

Thank you for that! I clipped that line and it worked like a charm. The accelerometer still gets power but if it doesn't wake the CPU or light the LED's it will save a considerable amount of battery life.
