Okay... I was following this post (http://www.frontrowcrew.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1196&page=1) a bit and decided I wanted to paint my Wiimote for the Wii.
First I got apart the nunchuck and painted that, made sure the paint looked good, didn't smear, etc. It looks fantastic... flat black with white keys. I'll get some pics up once everything is done.
Anyway, I started taking apart the Wiimote, which is quite a b**ch if I do say so. The front in is snapped in very tight. Anyway, I got it apart, and once I got the circuit board off, I realized I made a terrible error. Apparently when I got it apart, I broke the red positive cable that read to something that deals with the speaker in the Wiimote.
Here are pictures of where its broken off. Everything else works fine (pointer, lights, motion control), except the speaker... so I'm convinced that this part dealt with part of the remote. And yes, I did make sure the speaker's volume was turned all the way up.
It looks like I can't possibly repair the damage since it broke right at the circuit board. Now, if you flip it over, the cable will reach to the other side where all the sodering stuff lies. You can see that in these pictures.
I don't know anything about sodering, but I do have a few friends that have experiance. Is it possible that I could strip that cable like a 1/4" and soder the wire to that spoke indicated by the green arrow? Any help would be appreciated . I miss hearing my tennis racket swing
