Colecovision Fire Button Fix Mod

If all else fails with your Colecovision Fire button and it still won't work, try this way out. I thought of the idea at 2 in the morning!

Assuming you have already opened your controller:

1) Solder a wire to the board 3rd pin in under the button's switch.

2) Make an aluminum foil sandwich with the wire in the middle using super glue (foil / wire in middle / foil).

3) Glue foil to the inside of the button so it covers the hole.

4) Puncture the hole in the foil with a needle or paperclip. Test to see that the button slides like normal.

NOTE: Make sure the wire you use is a threaded wire (not solid) and that you give it some slack by putting some inside of the button.

Try it out and let me know if it works for you.
