Kind of different problem with Softpads

[Mary_jane_R]

Hi Guys! I was reading this forum for ages but I didn't find somebody that has exactly my problem.

I have 3 PS softpads at the moment. The first 2 I bought together and worked just fine until a while, one doesn't respond anymore, it lights when I press but It won't show any reaction in the controller program or stepmania.. some buttons stay on when I press them too. The one that works fine still works let's say 95% because from time to time the right arrow stays pressed and makes me loose a step in the game or something but when I press it again it works fine again.

The third one I bought apart and never worked, I could'nt return it because it was from china or something. This one shows reaction but also not in the controller program or stepmania. All lights stay on except one and when I press they light up more. I oppened up this one to check if there was an obvious problem.

So I'll get to the point they are not broken or too used and also stayed almost laying flat all the time. Thats why I would like to fix them if this is possible or make something out of them. About the pad I oppened I just don't know how everything has to be connected. One cable thats just cut and not connected to the chip is connected to the playstation plug (this was the only weird thing I found) I have a few tools so maybe I can just fix a failure production or whatsoever

I made some pictures of my adapter (I doubt that could be the problem but I have no Playstation to test the pads either ) and the oppened pad.
If somebody is interested to take a look I'll post them. I would really be thankful if somebody who has a clue about this could tell me if I can still do something with this pads

See ya!

Hmm... the only thing I can think of is that you didn't map the buttons... did you do this yet?
