jbelvin Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 I have a Logitech X3B18 receiver that has had the usb cable removed (not by me, I just got it like that). If anyone has an intact receiver, could someone tell me the order that the wires go into the board, oriented with the J1 label facing front and on the right as pictured?

jbelvin Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I have looked at the pictures here:https://web.archive.org/web/20080806115717/http://www.onlinexbox.org/tut/wirelesscontroller/ particularly this image: but none are quite clear enough for me to feel comfortable going ahead with the soldering.

bolofski Posted March 20, 2022 Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 the standard usb colours usually go earth, black, yellow, green, white, red. you should be able to tell which side earth is from following traces, thats assuming the adapter follows the standard line of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbelvin Posted March 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2022 While I do appreciate the general info, I read in my research last night that even official microsoft controllers have different wiring patterns for even the same model controllers. from what I gathered, the smaller microsoft wired controllers can have the shield adjacent to the black on some models and on the far side from it on others. but, if anyone could take the time to pop the 3 screws out, remove the cover, and snap a pic of the wires attached to the board, that would be fantastical. I just don't want to wire it up wrong and kill what could have been a working receiver and I've been unable to find any solid info on this particular model.

I got mine rewired and it's showing up as a controller in xbmc-emustation's system info page and the memory card reader is functioning. I just purchased a controller from ebay and I suspect it should sync up. thanks again for your reply! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
