Kids and cats and fake original Nintendo controllers don’t mix.
Well, at least that’s my experience.
Not much to write on this one, but the kids are rough on the controllers. I
can’t blame them for that, it is hard not to jump to the right and drag the
whole console with you when you are battling it out with Shredder and he tries
the ol’ one-two combo move on your Ninja Turtle. Couple that with the new cat
who seems to like to chew on the cord, and we had an epic failure of the cable.
Essentially it broke at the controller, just where it goes through the strain
relief boot.
So I took the controller apart and removed the old boot and a section of the
cord. Then I soldered the wires back onto the board and made a knot in the cord
around a screw post inside the controller to help as a deterrent from pulling
the cord out and off of the board.
All in all the project only took a few minutes, but it was nice to brush up on
my soldering skills.
Linux – keep it simple.
