Since no one answered to my other thread Here's my question about fitting a 3.1 Logic board into a 1,1 case..

Guys I have a question..You cut the 2 pin wires (7 and 2 from ps3) and solder them to 2 and 9 pin on ps2..However, there are wires on 2 and 9 ... Do you add the 2 wires to those wires, so you end up with 2 wires on the 2 pins (ps2) Oh, you can't cos they are both ground wires...

In other words can someone explain it better IE: Do you cut the wires the 2 wires on pin 2 and 9 and just leave them loose (ps2 loom end)..Then cut the ones on pin 2 and 7 (ps3) and solder them to pin 2 and 7 to ps3 connector (From the pins end or the harness end) and leave the cut wires at the loom end (Not at the plug end as they go to ps2 connector) Loose (Not connected at the pins), in other words..Do pin 2 and 7 get soldered to the ps2 connector. Oh, on ps3 connector do you leave pin 2 and 7 not connected (It's a bit hard to explain in text)....

You see, I'll rather go this way... Because it's easier for me to do this than removing the 1,1 harness and fitting a 3,1 harness, as that its a lot of work and its shorter too...

Quick, someone come up with a suggestion, before the OP starts another thread with the same question.;)
Actually it looks like you might just be on your own with this one.:(
 
Better buy a 3,1 case?
[doublepost=1515354937][/doublepost]I just noticed that you 're doing this as a kind of a hobby.
Anyway, it is a complicated and delicate project, you 're going to need a lot of time and patience.
I hope that it's worth it...
