Arcade Buttons stop working when i re attach back plate
Posted on: 28.08.2010 by Hipolito Scionti
Ok....

So it's taken about three days of my life to try and do this arcade mod... and i sort of want to kill myself...

So all the buttons seem to be working now, did the FW upgrade to 1.3, imported latest tsi.

Basically, when I reattach the back plate to the vci, the buttons stop working.

With the back plate off when i test the buttons they all work fine, super responsive etc.

Could it be the direction of the diodes are wrong? that's the only thing i can believe of...

Any help greatly appreciated

defo no metal exposed.

Sounds like the buttons are touching the case when you put it on and shorting out.

Found a pretty ghetto solution... i lined the inside of back plate with newspaper. seems to have solved it.

Odd though cause all the wires were well soldered and I used shrink wrap...

anyway, am actually starting to have a proper go and loving the arcade buttons and SE mapping.

Hopefully no more issues...
