Sonaru Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I took apart two 7800 controllers to clean and repair them. While the repair was successful, I'm can not recall how to reassemble the controller. The only part I'm stuck on is with where the 7 wires at the base of the PCB should go. Clearly it can't go where the joystick mechanism is or so I thought. I tried moving the colored wires to the left or right but it doesn't quote have enough room. I should've taken some pictures while taking them apart but this is the first time I've been stumped on controller reassembly. And I've taken apart a lot of controllers from different systems but the 7800 joystick is weird. Thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have that metal v clip though on either joystick. Was that something you added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that something you added? I just snagged a pic from online, that's not mine 🙂 I didn't even notice the metal clip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that was only put in place for the picture to keep the board centered when they took the pic? Otherwise, there is quite a bit of space for it to all move around and it might not have given them the right angle they wanted for that straight down shot? Just guessing here as I can't see any other reason it would be there or be needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
