Screwing up an SCPH-1080…

Cut Down SCPH-1080 PCB and Pushbuttons
(Click for huuuuge image…)

Last night I spent a while cleaning the plastics on the SCPH-1001 that I was putting buttons in, reassembled the lid and closing mechanism, mounted the buttons and ground bus, wired up the signal lines, connected the signal lines to the pcb, and… screwed up. I’m not completely sure where I went wrong yet, but I *think* I miscounted the pins on the IC late last night when making up these notes, and possibly counted pins wrong. I still haven’t figured out what is wrong, but I think this is where things are off.

I confirmed that the connection to the rear of the controller jack is right, and things connect right to the PCB. I don’t see a short between any of the signal lines, and the Playstation does boot to the CD player screen without error. So, I’m kinda thinking I screwed up something with the PCB. I’m just a bit frustrated because I secured the wires to the board and then secured the PCB into the enclosure with hot melt glue. It’ll be a hassle to rip out, and I won’t be able to reuse the PCB. That means I’ll have to find another Playstation controller. Oh well. :(

And here I was quite happy over how it had all fit into the enclosure. I’ll just have to work on it a bit more, I guess.
