Hey everyone...
So, I have a 3rd party pad, and naturally the plastic arrows have cracked. No problem, they still work. But the down arrow is in 3 pieces, and they tend to overlap sometimes. The sensor works perfectly. What should I use to get it back together?

no $$ = duct tape.
Money = buy poly carbonated sheets and mod the arrows.

I have the same problem. I couldn't find a straight answer and wanted to bring this up again. I recently got an RO metal pad a couple days ago, and the arrows are less sensitive than I thought they would be. When I double step in a song like HVAM heavy, it often doesn't register the two steps. The arrows seem a bit hard, and I don't know if it is normal for the covering on top of the arrows to be curved upwards, almost as if it were too big for the slot and it stays sticking up? I assumed this would go away after playing for a while and stepping on the arrows and making them go into the slot more. I was wondering if I should just wait it out or mod it? And how should I mod it if that were the case? |

Well the bottom is held together and covered by some felty material, so is there something I can do to hold the cracked plastic together? (Without duct-taping the whole thing)

ok, lemme ask again since no one seems to even feel like attempting to help me.
Ok, i got a problem and I need a lil help with it. I opened up my TX1000 (yes I know it is crap) to mod it and I when I opened it there were these sensors and I don't understand how I can modify that.

Well, I think I may have a problem.
My CF isn't responding as well as it used to. Sometimes it will just not register arrows. I dont know how to clean it, the do's and don'ts etc. Can someone help me out? Also, the plastic top of the arrows is starting to go flat...help on that too?
EDIT: nvm....the old quarter turn to the left deal :-\

gdup4life2k4 is my friend that I'm referring to that has the problem. So if the wire is just ripped off, where and how do you re-attach the wire so that way the led lights still light up? thanks. |

gduplife... here is your problem with the arrow.
It's cracked, blah blah... and you still want the leds.
Here's the solution... you know that black stuff that is taped under the arrow? (It's like the 1/2 insulation foam, but is really, really skinny)
All you have to do it rip that off, and then collect the 6 leds from it. Do not cut the wire, or else your leds are screwed unless you wanna solder... which would be a pain.
So get like an exacto knife, or just pick at it for long enough, and rip the black stuff away from the crack arrow, and take the leds out from it.
In the new panel, all you have to do is put the led lights between the arrow panel and then black insulation tape (this will have to be done close to the pad, cuz the wire SHOULD be attached to it still) Then after you place the leds, tape it up with the 1/2 inch insulation tape, then add 2 skinny sheet metal pieces, and then ur set. Put it back in the slot, then screw the brackets back in.
Here is how the arrow should look.
(Top)
1. lexan (poly carbonated)
2. Arrow Graphic
3. Led lights
4. 1/2 foam insulation strips
5. Sheet metal (or aluminum foil tape) Note - you have to put 2 pieces down so that both the ground AND directional points contact.

Guys please. I need to be heard before Extreme comes out on Tuesday.
I have a RO Metal, and i have been using it for a lomng time now, and i only weigh 100 lb. so the arrows arn't cracked for sure. But my right and up arrows stopped working, i opened them up, and there was straches on the copper, so i did _Ters mod and nothing happened. So now im stuck with a up and right arrows that don't work because of the copper, i think, and DDR Extreme comes out in 2 days.
Post your ideas on whats wrong.
(Yes, i know there will be another guy right after this posting that he needs his USB to IDNISAFNDOCVM Adapter fixed you and guys will help himj out and not me.)

| I just bought my BNS metal pad Friday night and from what my other friends have told me is that is a really good quality pad. I haven't played on it because they live 5 hours away from me. Do any of you think that it's a good pad? I haven't heard anybody talk about it, and I don't want to start another post. So any help will do. |

Yeah I have 2 of them, I think their good pads.
My problem though, which I would like to ask you all, is how to anchor the pads to a carpet or wood surface. My room is a carpet, and even though it has a nonslide surface, it still moves around on me; especially when I'm trying to do a max. Any ideas? |

Ok the arrows on my RO metal pad are still protruding outwards. I've taken some pictures so that you can see what I'm talking about. You have to give it a really good kick to have it register. Is there any way to make the arrow flatter and not curved? |

| i just got 2 tx-2000's off ebay for $400 with 2 control boxes for each console. the only problem ive had is the xbox control boxes which the seller has already agreed to replace at no cost. anyways i took it apart and the insides look pretty easy to fix if something goes wrong (if you know a little wiring) you can order new arrows and it seems pretty stable. i've seen mixed reviews so i was just wondering if theres anything else i should look out for matinence-wise? any comments would be helpful. |

I have the same question.
I don't want to cut the arrow because if I find out a better way to fix the arrows later, I'll be without part of my arrows, which is no good. I'm not sure what plastic it is, it might say on the redoctane site or something. |
