How to make your xbox controller plug look like this:

Tools u need:

- The Xbox controller end thing ama bobber (the thing that will glow in the end)

- a VERRY VERRY small flat head screw driver (not the screw driver its self, jus the front end of it)

- an LED and a resistor with the following color code Brown Black Brown (100k i think)

- some wire and maybe a soldering iron if needs be

 

PROCEDURE:

(I do not take responsibility for what happens)

1. Open the end of the controller by wedging the screw driver into the side cracks, dunt worry it may sound like its breaking but its not, try not to just push in one corner though , go around the thing

2. you will see the following inside the controller:

Take off the metal shielding, (dun worry the thing is supposed to come off, so the lil cuff part around the wire will come off too)
then u should be left with this:

the red one is the power, the black one on the other end is the ground (the original Xbox controller did not have different color wires, instead it only had a red one and 4 black ones. the red one is always the power, and the last black one is the ground)

3. now if u look above the wires u will see lil holes as marked below with red squares

4. now some how hook a wire (NAKED WIRE, not covered in the rubber clothing thing) onto the red wire end form the controller ( u can solder it or u can jus tie it around carefully like i did) and insert it into the small hole (make sure its not touching any of the other wires) k then do the same for the black (ground) connection

5. now if u see my LED configuration, u can see i connected my positive LED leg to the resistor (btw make sure u make it as small as possible the one i used in my controller was VERRY small, try to minimize space)

6. now stick the positive end of the led in the red wire hole and the ground end in the black wire hole and plug it in ur Xbox to check if it works (should light up as soon as u turn on ur Xbox)

7. when done that, put it all back to gather, i put a lil piece of white plastic bag in there to help blur the led,, and make it look like its glowing, u can do that with a glue gun too, but it would be more messy....well this is the first tutorial i ever made, and im sure it probably makes no sense wut so ever, so if u got any q's jus email me at dabrownsuperman@hotmail.com or reply in the thread. aright lates
