Intensafire without ground tab! help
Well my friend accidentally ripped off the ground solder point for the intensafire flexboard. I was just wondering if it is possible to manually attach the point with some 30 gauge wire? And if how because the whole Tip that has the circle in it is gone.

You could cut away carefully at the tace on the flex oar to make a new contact then uses some really small length of wire to join the new contact and the ground point on the xbox controller board. If you are having trouble understanding me check out my photos page, I did something like his with the sync button.
Hope this helps!

The thing is where the little metal circle that you usually put the glue on is completely gone and I need to know where to attach the wire from the controller to where on the flexboard?

Ok, on the flex board you will see little lines running back and froth from each component on the flex board, these are called traces. Each trace normally is protected by a thin plastic coating, like a wire it can be stripped so you can solder it. Now find the trace that leads to the point you screwed up on, carefully cut away at the traces plastic coating till the copper shows, then solder a wire to that and the other end to the ground contact (where its suppose to go) and your done.

To remove the coating over the trace I recommend using just a regular razor to slightly "scrape" away the coating.
