Limited Edition Halo 3 and Star Wars Xbox 360 Controller - Restoration
In this video, The Retro Pal attempts to restore two limited edition Microsoft Xbox 360 controllers. I bought these controllers a few months ago and thought this would be the perfect video to feature two limited edition controllers. These limited edition controllers were released during the Xbox 360 production phase and have a beautiful design to match the Halo and Star Wars franchises.

    hello, thanks for the instructions and great video. Im trying to restore my own cam, same model. Mine is not as bad as your, but some capacitors need to be replaced as well. I am struggling to find the right capacitors online, could you recommend me a website to get all the components? Thanks again for the video

    Best idea is to solder the 4 joystick pins housing FIRST. to keep the housing flat. Then work on the other pins. That way the joystick is flat during the whole soldering process. Don't go from left to right of all pins. You can tell the four housing pins are the ones in a square shape point. X figure solder them. Then you can work on the other pins. This'll keep the joystick housing stable while you work on the other pins to solder down. The biggest problem with doing other joysticks say like Xbox to Wii-U. Is those have a different type of tension/friction systems then the Wii-U's will. You'll notice that the stock will have a much smoother and free moving silk movement. While Xbox will have a more 'drag' feeling effect that sure you'll be able to feel the direction more and have a more dead stop. But it won't be as clean feeling as the stocks. The best choice would be to buy some OEM Wii-U Gamepad joysticks with the board. Desolder those and resolder the new ones onto the controller. That way you'll get the exact same feeling joysticks with a refresh performance. But in the end if you like the Xbox feeling joysticks and want a more Wii-U controller style. This video choice would be the option. It'll feel bit weird at first that you'll feel again more of a xbox style joystick friction and tension. But if you wish to play more PC related games using a May-Flash adapter or so. This type of Controller will beat any others by far.

    Interesting. They do look better for sure. Sometimes its the connector at fault, not the hand unit and its possible to dismantle the whole connector and resolder the wires to the pins and push them back in. You dont need the tri-wing screw driver for the connector.

    The CCD-F500e was my favourite Video8 camcorder (composite video + mono audio) after the F330e and F340e / CCD-SP5. Elco's where an issue 2 years after release of these camcorders. Common failure was also loosening the tapeguides in both directions. The most reliable camorders regarding elco's where the early models CCD-M8, M10, V30, V50, V90, V95 and the EVC-X10. Repaired all Video8/Hi8 camcorders up untill the CCD-V800e for Sony Netherlands (employee 1983-2010)

    I assume this guide will work for all these series camcorders, and any differences between PAL and NTSC will be obvious to the eye? I have several of these and love them, and have been looking high and low to find a walkthrough on what they need, where and why. Thank you for doing this, i hope more of the people watching this will put the work into theirs, these units are worth it.

    Hi. Can I ask, with that composite mod, how did you find the brightness? Many people have said that the single transistor circuit is too low volage and doesn't produce a bright enough signal. Most of the mod boards I've seen, use two transistors.
