Controller flex circuit Clear backplate.

[Kida0723]

So I was fixing up a 5200 controller. I took apart my controller and I noticed that the backplate for the flex circuit was clear. Has anybody ever seen these because I never have.

Interesting , I have never seen that .

I've rebuilt about 40 of these and never saw a clear one. Definitely different, if not rare.

I've done about 20 and this is the first time I've ever seen this. I wondered myself how rare/uncommon these really are. I've put it back together without swapping anything at the moment.

Neat find. Cool Rev 8 flex too.

i've rebuilt probably 100s of controllers and I've ran across some clear back plates. They aren't common. I've never been able to figure out any kind of common criteria behind them. They seem to be random.

I've ripped up around 50 5200 controllers in my years and I've only found 2 of these.
