Techgenious - How to recondition a used Xbox 360 Wireless controller

2013-05-09T16:33:00.001-07:00

The life of a gamer is a hard one, trying to stay on the pulse of whats new, following each game to completion.

Tireless hours of gameplay can take it's tool on a good game controller and for those who can't afford to replace their controller's due have other options.

I've created a guide for those of you who would like to try this method and have also provided a video tutorial which is contained in this post.

What you will need
1) A current Xbox 360 controller
2) A new back plate
3) A new face plate
4) A new "back" button
5) a new "start" button
6) A Torx T8 Security Screwdriver
The other items should be included with your controller as long as the seller provides the packing with your shell.
Process

You'll need to use your A Torx T8 Security Screwdriver to remove seven screws from the controller, you need to make sure that you have removed the battery at the back of the controller to remove the seventh screw. Once all screws are removed you can now remove the back of the controller

Note: Some components inside will be prone to fall out. Be sure to prevent this from happening and keep the controller with the sticks, at least to some degree, facing in the downward position. (as shown in the picture)

Lay the Controller face down and start the process of removing the components, you can start by removing the motors by pulling them out by the clips.

Note: do this carefully as you do not want to pull out the wires, you just need to give it a small tug by placing both your finger and thumb around the clip and gently tugging from left to right to remove the clip.

1) Ever so tenderly remove the micro chip and associated components (it's one big piece) 2) Place the micro chip and associated components to the side (you will need it for a later step) 3) There are components behind this piece that will now be loose. DO NOT flip over the controller.

Remove the Rubber Covering and all buttons from within the case including the Xbox centre button and the A, B, X and Y buttons making sure that they are placed in the new shell in that order.

Unscrew the D Pad and click the back of the D pad out, the front will fall out after.

Remove the bumper, and put the shell aside as you will not be needing it anymore.

Place the A,B,X, and Y buttons in the front panel of the new shell NOTE: with the front of the "front panel" facing down the Y (yellow) is on the top, X (blue) is on the right, B (red) is on the left, and A (green) is on the bottom. place the "back" and "start" buttons in the front panel of the new shell NOTE: with the front of the "front panel" facing down the "back" button will be on the right and the "start" button will be on the left

Place the Xbox power button in it's housing in the new shell

Snap the two pieces of the D pad back in place and place the silicone cover over the buttons.

Place your new trigger buttons on the shell and fit them into place.

Clean and place the bumper back into place.

Place the board back into place.

Now it's time to remove the back triggers.

place a screw driver inside the hole of the trigger and push to one side remove the trigger and it should slip off nicely.

now that's done use the same method to replace the triggers and press both left and right triggers to make sure that they are in working order.

fit the motor back into place and replace the back panel, make sure that everything fits and screw the screws back into your new caseing.

now all thats left to do is replace the battery and start playing.

If you're having anymore trouble or just need to ask a question leave a comment below.

The Rise and Fall of the Ryback

2013-05-07T06:44:00.002-07:00

Extreme Rules is only two weeks away and is being headlined by a rather lackluster main event in Ryback vs John Cena, now don't get me wrong, Ryback has the full package in terms of being a rather well rounded sports entertainer but this feud with Cena has kiled any credibility that this guy has had by highlighting his weakness on the mic making his face run all but irrelevant.

April 6 2012 was Ryback debuted in the WWE, returning from injury after a brief stint with the Nexus skip Sheffield was pegged as the next big breakout star squashing jobber after jobber similar to Goldberg;s initial WCW run, then on October 28th Ryback challenged Punk for the WWE championship giving the monster a chance at the big time and proving that a main event push was sustainable, even though Ryback lost he managed to look strong giving the monster more momentum in the coming months. November 18th 2012 Ryback again challenged for the title and was unsucessful after being taken out by the debuting shield, thus his losing streak continued but he still maintained credibility as he was not beaten clean by then WWE champion CM Punk. In the coming months Ryback continued to squash midcarders and lower card wrestlers alike only losing PPV matches.

Rybacks chance for redemption was at the Royal Rumble PPV as a win could have given the beast the push he needed to challenge for the world heavyweight championship leaving the WWE title behind him but alas that chance was given to John Cena in order to give him another opportunity against the Rock leaving Ryback in limbo for the foreseeable future. Creative needed to do something quick with this monster as his profile was diminishing and quickly so an idea was pitched to give Ryback a main event feud against the returning Mark Henry at wrestlemania to help give the beast a shot in the arm with a not only his first PPV win but a win on the biggest stage of them all, at Wrestlemania!.

Wrestlemania came and went with a match most deemed as forgettable and pointless a call was made to give Mark Henry the win a call that in my mind and the mind in those who where so willing to see Ryback succeed as pointless.

Ryback's heel run against John Cena is something of an anomaly as his character still maintains to be a face in the eyes of the general wrestling fan even though he has been stripped of everything that made the character Ryback into the main event star that he once was taking away his feed me more chants making his character whine and complain and even walk away when he would never usually run away from a fight, Ryback's character has done a complete 180 changing everything that made the character once great in order to turn him into a bog standard heel, the problem being that Ryback isn't your usual heel, he's completely different from the tacticians, the wrestlers, the workers and highflyers, Ryback is a monster and needs to be treated as such being on the attacking Cena whenever he gets the chance instead of runing away.

The worst part about this heel turn is the fact that he is facing John Cena, the company guy who has just won the WWE championship back from the Rock, I just don't see him taking the championship away from Cena's grasp so soon as the company needs their top guy holding the title and I do not believe that Ryback is seen as that guy at this point in time.

So what's left for this monster?, what can the WWE do to keep Ryback in the top position and allow Cena to retain the title?, they can't as we have now found that the two will be competing in a last man standing match and if Ryback loses this will spell the end of his main event run leaving his future in question.

Do you agree or disagree?

The Good, The Bad and The Shield

2013-04-20T16:28:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time but It's now back, yes ladies and gent's WrestleRamblings makes it's return to #Nerdgenious.

Now this week we see a tag title scene in TNA grow, The ace's and eight's become a more dominant force in TNA and Magnus still look green as he attempts to fight for the TNA television Championship .

We also sore the debut of the ref cam, a waste of space for the X - Division title that is competed under triple threat rules, I understand that Bischoff and Dixie want the division to carry more weight but are ending up making it all seem like a gimmick that will get tiresome over time.

In WWE news, CM Punk has apparently gone on hiatus leaving a huge hole in the company, there is an estimated return date but we have yet to hear a confirmation from either Punk or the WWE on that one, and i doubt that we will get one.

Vince and Co are looking at part timers Brock Lesner, Undertaker and Triple H to fill the hole but i doubt that this plan will help in the long term, looking as an outsider it would be beneficial for the WWE to look at its mid card to help elevate talent and bring guys like Kofi Kingston, Cesaro and Barett to the forefront giving each mid card title its own story in order to elevate more young up and comers just look at what the company is doing for the sheild a group i hope will gain its first championship by defeating Daniel Bryan and Kane for the tag team titles and giving further meaning to a division that has seen better days.

and finally Smarkoutmoment/Keeping Kayfabe podcasts are doing a joint Wrestling League, starting at extreme rules and ending at Wrestlemania 30 myself, Tony Mango, Mike Paden, Brandon Ligan and Chris Jester will be competing to be crowned the winner of this league you can check out the teams below you can help by tweeting #teamburhan to show your support for my team consisting of Ambros, Rollins, Cena, Langston and Rhodes these four will hopefully prove frutiful for me but only time will tell.

That's it for this week guys make sure you check out my youtube channel The Nerdgenious for the pilot episode of wrestlerambings and more content, make sure you share this site, my channel and my podcast I Got Gameplay and if you like what you see please donate.

Comics Rundown - The Inferior Spiderman

2013-01-15T04:55:00.000-08:00

When Marvel announced the end of it's flagship title "The Amazing Spiderman" with it's 700 issue and the removal of Peter Parker as Spiderman when the new "Superior Spiderman" debut it left the companies loyal fans questioning whether this was the right move with Marvel's tradition of making promises and then negating on them once the backlash starts.

This isn't new however as Marvel has had the habit of making rash decisions and then recanting on them after the proverbial feces hits the fence, does anyone remember Ben Reilly? the former suitable replacement for Peter Parker?, the man who was supposed to take up the mantle of Spiderman as Peter and Mary Jane where moving on with their live's with their new daughter.

Ben was supposed to be the revealed as the real Peter Parker, and take up the mantle allowing his clone and Mary Jane to have a happy ending and raise their child giving the former Peter Parker that we all know and love a happy ending and giving readers a smooth transition to the new spiderman, what we got instead was numerous pointless stories, a never ending clone saga which eventually led to the death of a character that people appreciated, someone that most of us want to see return to reclaim the mantle of the Scarlet Spider.

Marvel tried again with One More Day, changing Spiderman's timeline in order to make Peter Parker single again a life of a bachelor which no one wanted!, due to reader complaints Marvel recanted and now have the couple dating again.

Marvel decided to test the waters with Peter effectively killing him off in the ultimate Universe to see if they could change the character and measure the response, the problem is that the Ultimate universe isn't main continuity, it's not canonical and it doesn't effect the main timeline.

With the announcement of Marvel cancelling it's main titles and restarting it's lines under the marvel Now! banner an order was made to transition Marvel's flag ship character to a more darker Spiderman, one that shunned his moral compass and would save the world at any cost.

Marvel already had a ready made Spiderman who could take the mantel from Peter, a clone that managed to survive countless attempts on his life someone who is in dire need of redemption, that person is none other than Kane!.

Instead Spiderman writer Dan Slott went another route, he wanted to move the character in a different direction but, for some reason decided to fast track a transition in order to effectively kill off Peter Parker and redeem one of his greatest foes.

And with Amazing Spiderman 700 on shelves people swamped to the comic book store in drove's in order to say goodbye to their hero and find out who the Superior Spiderman will be.

Despite having the reveal leaked online, Amazing Spiderman managed to move to second Printing showing that sales where strong even though fan reaction was mixed and thus having Otto Octavious lead Marvel into its next phase.

But sadly Peter did not ride off into the sunset, instead we saw the character return in some manner in Superior Spiderman 1, after reading this issue it shows how much faith Marvel has in the new direction and that a back door has already been utilized to bring Peter back into main continuity, and thus making Otto's redemption useless, if this was Marvels plan all along why bother with trying to redeem Octavius in the first place?.

Whatever Marvel and Slott decide in regards to the character's direction at least we can watch and laugh as Otto acts like a complete dick whilst in Peters body which by far is the most enjoyable element of this storyline.

Thats all from me for now,

Will be back later today with some WrestleRamblings.

WrestleRamblings - The Evil that we do

2012-10-27T19:25:00.002-07:00

Wrestling has always been described as a scripted sport, something that mainstream media has always shunned due to the general consensus of wrestling not being neither a "real sport" nor "scripted television" it's more so regarded in the same vein as reality television, a form of media were you can easily fit in without the experience one needs to be "a wrestler".

Due to this new found respect wrestling has been given companies such as TNA and WWE attempt to gain more mainstream attention by actively promoting celebrity participation even going so far as offering actors, television hosts and sudo celebrities a chance at working a match, thus a paradox is created shifting wrestling's paradime away from the die hard fans and closer to the reality tv model that remains and industry standard. With this change comes an impossible job at creating a new company guy, the torch bearer and media magnet that has had their name muttered in the same breath as Hugh Jackman but is respected the wrestling die hards similar to the Hulk Hogan's and Sting's of the 90's.

The WWE has managed to produce such a start in Ryback, giving him a Goldberg like push to the top of the card, having John Cena promote the beast that has been plowing his way through the lower card sling shotting himself to the main event, the problem is, the Goldberg like push doesn't work. Once you have the streak and the hype that's all the wrestler becomes gaining win after win until a single entity manages to take it, but once defeated the monster is placed back at the bottom of the card without a way to bring him back to the top without including the streak itself.

Goldberg had it all, the streak, the world heavyweight title and a company that proudly promoted him as such, the problem being that it all had to end, and end it did.

Enter Kevin Nash, Booker, wrestler and self promoting machine who had creative control over the whole WCW locker room and did whatever he felt like, Nash booked himself into a position where he took the title from Goldberg, dropped the title to Hogan and thus derailed Goldberg's career without any way to move forward, every time any company has attempted to promote Goldberg they have used the streak as a way to get him over, but the wrestling community didn't buy into it a second time, and will never believe in the hype again. This is what WWE need's to consider with Ryback, he hasn't developed a character, he hasn't had time to plow through the rest of the roster and elevate himself to an upper midcard player.

Hell in the Cell will be live Sunday Night and the Main event is CM Punk Vs Ryback, most are calling this one the biggest main events in WWE history, others are calling it a travesty, to me it seems like WWE's booking committee have booked themselves into a corner and thus are going to pay the price either way, will they ssacrifice Punks title reign?, or sacrifice Rybacks streak?, Ryback will eventually end up in lower card hell with
no chance in hell of ever returning.
