Could be shorting one pin to ground. After soldering, make sure none are touching or shorting together then use a hot glue gun to cover them. |

Well, I tried the powered USB hub... it didn't work. :hissy: --- Quote from: Gambit on August 23, 2006, 11:41:57 pm ---Could be shorting one pin to ground.

So how to check if it is shorting with a pin. I do have a multi-meter (or how is it called), but I don't have I clue of how to use it. Is this thing able to check all my connections, if so how? Does anybody have some tips or a website on how to use a multimeter on a soldered circuit board? I do have the feeling that the microswitches of the stick have something to do with it. Everytime I use the stick intensively it crashes. So could the microswitches be faulty, or is that not possible? I'm totally lost now, any help is appreciated |

It's recognised as a gamepad and I can play for a while until the action gets intensive, than it gets unresponsive. It's still recognised by Windows in the control panel, but unresponsive, then I unplug and plug in it again and it works (for a while). I |
