hi just thought i will give it a shot again and guess what i have a dual shock 3 now and i used to have sixaxis before. i tried led mode on my sixaxis as it was easier but my soldering skills were so bad that i left it and also i sold that controller and got a dualshock 3. i opened it up but this one have a complete different layout and also the shell of controller is opaque. i did rumble 3 led mode as solder wasnt required and also works fantastic but the problem is the controller is black and it s opaque. so bit stuck again. ive seen some people do it on youtube but there glows. my question is do i put the mobo of ds3 into sixaxis. will this work
thanks

hi guys ive recently performed the led mod on my dualshock 3
controller, everything went succesfully until i realised that
the controller leds stay on all the time, that meaning the battery
runs out alot of the time, so most times i have to play with the
ds3 conntected to the ps3 because the battery is drained out during
the ps3 being turned off and the actual controller leds staying lit.
Can someone please advice me of what to do? what have i done wrong?
thanks for any help offered guys.

hey man seems you posted this while ago i hope you found the answer if not, i suspect you have wired the leds with the main battery and if thats the case they will reamin solid as there is no power cut off, simple fix rewire them to the 2 motors instead.
