I don't mean to sound like an buttocks, I know I am still new still, but can we PLEASE stop de-railing my topic? I really don't have $250-500 to spend on a new hard pad.. sO I want to fix this one... please? thanks.

red octane responded they know not - saying I can get answers here. what kind of support is that? I prompted them to try again and underscored my great faith in their success.

Maybe someone that owns one will come thru with pictures or a wire to pin layout. that would be super cool.

almost cooler than

First things first- This is not the law, it's a guide. Do not attempt a repair without first testing with a meter and an honest evaluation of your own abilities. IF you don't know what you're doing, ask someone who does. This is a wire scheme for a specific ddr pad, yours may be different even if it's the same brand. Map it out, draw a picture, stare and compare, when in doubt start over.

This is the Early Redoctane Metal Pad DB15 wire pin out from Pad to DB15 (without light connections). To be precise: this diagram represents the DB15 female connector terminated on the end of the cable that comes out of the DDR Pad and connects ‘to’ the Red box. Test your cable with a meter, your wire colors may be different.

Pins 3, 5 & 15 are Ground. 6 & 9 are also Ground, if you don't have lights avoid these.

@ Signifies this is one of 4 bundled wires joined via shrinkwrap in the DB15. The cable on your game pad may be different, my cable has a bundle because there are 8 color twins, 3 are opposite polarity (example @Brown is the ground for the NW and NE arrow but 'Brown' is + on the Up arrow sensor.) Test your wires with a meter before terminating. (My color twins are Blue, White, Brown and Red).


X and Esc OR NW and NE pads.
NW or "X"
+ pin 2, @white
- pin 3, @Brown

NE or Esc or Square
+ pin 4, @Red
- pin 3, @Brown

in other news...
I worked out the lights also and they work but on the aftermarket box I bought they all light any time any pad is activated- ugh!
Note the shared ground wires, there are 3 wires for every two pads: 2 positive and 1 shared ground.

and finally, thanks to popsynth.com for the db15 picture showing the arrow positions.
