2 Original XBox Controllers Aren't Working

Only issue im really having is that the A button doesnt register with light taps, I have to press and hold noticeably to get it going. Is that wiring or just how I put it together causing that? -

Hopefully my soldering/wiring was good enough to not get my ass electrocuted or start a fire. Works now -
2 Original XBox Controllers Aren't Working

Is it possible to do a full on cable replacement? I'd like to have the cable as intact as I can get it. EDIT: If there doesnt happen to be a method of replacing the wire or any spare wire sellers out there, what steps would you recommend for identifying/repairing the damage section of the cable? -
2 of the 3 original xbox controllers I bought a few weeks back off of a ebay arent working, everything feels fine but the xbox doesnt seem to realize theyre plugged in even if I swap out the break away cables. Not really sure what could be causing this other than a guess that its the wire itself. Any tips on how to repair or replace the issue so these work?

Seems to be starting fine now, thanks man! Removed the four you marked as well as one that seemed a little tall along with the unnecessary one you pointed out.

Im absolutely certain I cut that but ill get a picture of it in a minute, trying to recover a family members bios rn

Does it with the old stock drive/cable I've noticed however my mod chip no longer lights up? Think I got a bad one?
-
This wasnt a problem that occured until after I replaced the IDE cable and HDD so im uncertain if that would be the case
-
SO when I turn it on, it starts and stops a few times before it finally gets going and then when it does I get no image or sound and the light just flashes red and green. At first I thought it was my IDE adapter on my new hard drive, but when I replaced the unnamed brand one with a startech it still did it. To be clear, my xbox DOES work if I keep fucking with the power button and I can play games normally (Have not extensively tested to see if it randomly shuts off or anything after a long period of time. Anyone know what the problem could be?
-
I think I bough the startech cable as it was the only even remotely decent looking one I could fine and yeah it should be an 80 pin. I have a converter as a go between my hard drive and it since it wouldnt plug straight into the thing, the middle cable for the DVD drive I had to fold alot because it wasn't the way round so im wondering if thats whats causing it. I'll get a picture of it here in a bit

Not sure if this is because of my heatsink or some other issue, but ever since I put in my new hard drive and have been using my xbox more, ive noticed itll refuse to turn on (itll just turn itself off and on without ever coming up with any visuals or audio) or itll flash red and green. I read that this could be an issue with how the IDE is cable is put in, but I had to fold it alot just to get it all in the right positions to be plugged in :'/ Edit: I was able to get it to turn itself back on properly after I unplugged it for a bit and plugged it back in, unsure if thats a one off fix or related to whats going on?

YIKES. I forgot to plug in the power cable into the dvd drive, its all installed properly. was just distracted when trying to put it together lmao! Sorry for the trouble

I bought the hard drive used, but I believe they said they cleaned it out before putting it up for sale. I also had to put electrical tape on the back of the adapter because it had no cover on it and the capacitor pins would of been dangerously close to touching the hard drive itself

Thats the issue, I literally cant open the disc drive. Pressing the eject button just makes the XBOX screen glitch out for a moment

I'm using a terabyte western digital hard drive with a new IDE cable and adapter if that matters.
