Didn't see a repair general up, so I'll just make thread.
The right trigger of my Saturn 3D pad isn't working anymore.
I know there is a magnet that can fall out of the trigger, but I glued it in and it's still in place.
I'll post pics as I go.

I feel like it's this that's causing trouble. Not exactly sure, though. I'm an amateur when it comes to circuitry and electronics. I do have experience with a soldering iron, though.

Do you think I may have broken one of the wires? I doesn't look like I did.
I even used a soldering iron to reheat the lead.

Here's the part that connects to the motherboard. None of these look broken off, but I don't know for sure.

Last one. This is where it connects. Reheated the lead, but I get the same results.
That line that looks like a "1" on top is actually a very tiny amount of excess lead I can't get off.

Use a multimeter to check continuity of the wires and of the PCBs to look for broken traces.
You don't have to bump this amount here...the board is slow.

There's no wire protruding on the red striped lead

Sorry.
Also, I don't actually own a multimeter. Are there any cheap decent ones on Amazon? Unless it's cheaper from a hardware/electronics store, that is.
>>3628060
There is a wire. I guess it's just a little bit hidden. Probably should've taken a better picture.

There was always a repair/mod general going on here.
Unless /vr/ stopped doing those, that is.

True. I know of one that's like $6 that will do continuity and voltage. That's all you really need for this type of basic stuff

Spray some ISO or wd40 in there and work it

probably a cold solder joint
maybe cracked from use of the trigger

What's with the serial-killer gloves?
