Guest Don Gillespie Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Things I noticed but I am not sure if they make a difference, first of all when you plug the Cat5 cable into the old controllers the plug in is different than the new controller, secondly there is a little box in the middle of the controllers on the old controllers there are numbers on it on the new controllers there are no numbers it looks as though there is glue or something on them, not sure if this affects the operation of the controllers.

TJ Hvasta Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 A box in the middle of the board with numbers or no numbers? The transformer? Or the chip where the Logo would be? And I see the Cat5 sockets are flipped.. same place, just flipped, the release tab is on the bottom rather than the top.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Roberson Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The Gen 3 boards look to be stripped down even more. Maybe its missing to many parts to work.:shock::?You have upgraded to S3 and the HWU still won't recognize the gen3 boards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Don Gillespie Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 UPDATE I used my laptop ( I have no idea why I decided to try this) to set the ID numbers on my new controllers guess what, worked perfectly, so then I hooked everything up to my main computer and tried to locate the new controllers and guess what it worked I must have a bad HWU on my main computer I have no clue but everything is working fine thanks to all who tried to help, once I let Dan know I am sure he will be able to cross one more burden off his list.
