Has anyone replaced a controllers cable before? I've got 2 controllers that play up, If I bend the cable in a certain spot they both work, it's damage inside the cable right up near where it goes into the controller, I wrap them in lots of tape and they stay working as the cable can't bend then.
I ordered some replacement cables from Aliexpress thinking I'd just swap them over, yet the Aliexpress cables only have 4 wires, and my controllers have 6.
This is the replacement cables I bought, I bought a few of them so I'd have spares.
I see in the feedback from buyers people have made them work by soldering the yellow wire on the cable to the location of the green wire, here is a couple of photos where people have done it
Does this seem right? Am I safe to do this and not blow my USB ports on my Xbox when I plug it in? Will it work as its meant to with 2 wires missing? Seems odd.
