This is essential as only then the buttons would stay in their correct place. Then the circuit board is to be removed from the back of the controller and kept at a safe place (away from the reach of children).
3. Pin trigger needs to be located on the front of the board. The middle pin trigger is positioned below the pin which is for the “A” button. The red wire next needs to be connected to the middle pin trigger (this might be done by a solder).
4. LED ground needs to be located. LED ground is positioned on the circuit board near the green button for the Xbox controller. Again solder the wire (this time black one) from momentary switch on the LED ground.
5. Controller needs to be put back. By following the same method for taking off the cover, the controller is put back together in the reverse direction. While putting the controller back, it should be kept in mind that the switch should be coming out from the bottom of the controller. The controller then needs to be tested and switched on later.
