You know those flowing hexagon lights RU-vidrs put on the wall for their backgrounds? I broke one of those lights open and ziptied the guts inside the box.@FellowshipOfTheAviatorZ
That could very well be the case but then again there could be a app to download on ps5. Unfortunately I don't have access to a p5 so I can't confirm 100%. One question since you own a 5 is there any chance you have a old ps4 laying around you could test it on?
@@1990rexyB18A1 yeah there is, but usually it always worked without any apps or hassle, but after opening it up for the first time for the wheel replacement, it never worked again. Do you think it can be possible to change the mode back to ps4 without having to solder anything?
Thanks For Replying And Trying To Help My Dude 😎 I already Have The Handbrake Working 😊 But That Nitrous Button Looks So Nice How Did You Set That ? And What's That Box In The Wall ?? That's The Way ? 🤔
Bro Ur Setup Its Pretty Dope 😎 Respect 😊 Bro Im Doing My Setup And Im Looking For The Right Way To Set Up Handbrake On Ps4 😮 How You Pull It Off The Right Way ??
It has been quite a while since I did the mod I'm about to knock out for the night but I will check my video and go back to the comments so I can give you detailed information and time stamps on where to pause the vid for circuit board screenshots.
Unfortunately I can't confirm due to never owning a T150 but I can try to do some searching for ya. I honestly believe it would due to the t80 working but I also know the t150 is ffb which nfs has sadly been hit or miss on. It worked well with my g29 on ps4 but the g923 for xbox was a no go. What do you play on? xbox ps or pc?
Yes it will have to been in one mode at least. If you are doing pc it doesn't matter whether it's ps3 or 4. I would honestly do the 4 though just incase anything tries to hold you back.
Great video! Just to warn it is possible to just have the plastic switch broken and can change the soldered switch to be fixed in a mode. that worked for me and didn't require the soldering iron.
Could you explain a bit more what you did? The tiny black piece that switches between ps3 and ps4 has broken off on mine and I can't put it back, so it's stuck on ps3 mode, would be great if I can fix it without a soldering iron!
So just the case around the switch broke leaving the actual switch in tact? If so you are one lucky wheel owner. I wish mine would have broke like that. I actually ordered a fanatec dd only the 5nm with the 8nm power upgrade. Hopefully I can start recording some content for this channel.
Search this on ebay its a two way I didn't know they made them but this should be even better than the on off on momentary. Carling On-On 2 Position SPDT Mini Toggle Switch w. Short Bat - Chrome
Man I apologize I never got around to doing the toggle switch I ended up moving over to PC and hardwired my G29 into PS4 mode only. I do know 100% that the toggle switch should be on off on non-momentary meaning when you switch it to the right it will stay to the right when you switch it to the left it will stay to the left. Message me back with any other questions I will definitely try to walk you through things. I have actually stopped using the G29 and got a g923 for Xbox which was a horrible purchase. I should have just went direct drive which is my next move I have been talking about it for too long.
@@1990rexyB18A1 hi there, is possible to place toggle switch like MTS-102 ? if possible is any idea where to place it? i want to keep my steering neat
@budimanramadhan451 the mst-102 will be perfect. For what you are needing button press wise and size wise. That's the exact one I was going to use. Just never got around to it. I'm on pc now and never got around to posting a final video.
Nice to hear that it's still usable without having to tear the wheel apart. If that housing ever breaks you will be ready to tackle the issue with full speed!
Yes sir! I actually soldered one of the wires to the wrong point on the board. I will copy and paste a description that will walk you through it though.
1:48 is when I solder the first wire to the board which is the white one this is the one that is not needed. In order to use PS4 mode solder the black and green wires like I have in the video. If you want to access your PS3 mode there is one more solder point to the right of the green one I did not do this to my mine. Nothing is needed for the four pieces surrounding the 3 solder points as they were only holding the switch in place.
The cords I found were at Dollar Tree in the cellphone section. I buy everyone of them off the shelve when I see them in stock. Extremely quick to change out attachments. They have a male end on one side and a female end on the opposite. I just cut the wire in half and boom you have open ends for your wheel and switch. What game and platform are you on? I have found some amazing things along the way that have made my driving experience so much more enjoyable and for little to no money at that.
yo i honestly didnt think you were going to reply, i appreciate it im about to run to the dollar store as i type. im on ps4 i want to know how i can get my buttons/cords setup how u have yours so i can make a handbrake. i miss playing on my wheel but it just wasnt turning on and your literally the only person i found that made a video to fix it
@Famousboikey I definitely try to respond as quick and as thorough as possible. I really couldn't imagine coming home and not being able to get on my wheel. With that being said I'm always down to help a fellow Wheelman. There is a way to do it on PS4 using a Titan 2 device which allows you to use a lot more than just a handbrake. The device is around 100 bucks but the things it will allow you to do is nuts. Let me know when you get your wires. Honestly you could do it with extremely small gauge wire if you don't find the USB at the dollar store. The only thing you will lose out on is the Quick Connect function.
On the first rig at the very beginning of the video I had the g-force 6-speed shifter that comes with the Logitech package. The shifter on the 2nd thrustmaster t-80 rig was handmade using some plastic and metal scraps. That switch at the bottom of the shifter does all of the button press action. I have moved to real car sequentials over the years. They can really take a beating!
Maybe its the color of my skin? Or the deeper voice that's got you a tad bit discombobulated? Either way I get what your hinting at. I just don't understand why I get these type of comments when most of my videos are to help and not tear down. #wegottadobetter
It's around 24 to 26 gauge. I cut a old broken USB data cable open and it gave me tons of wire. The plain power cables only have red and black wires inside from my experience so far. The data cables are going to give you two more and should be white and green.
Use the exact same concept I did with the paddle shifters only try to solder to a button that can be remapped on the circuit board inside the wheel. The board in the base is different. Someone has a video on how to do it. Unfortunately I gifted this wheel to one of my friends and no longer have access to it. What are you using on if you don't mind me asking Playstation Xbox or PC?
I have not a clue why I never seen your response until 8 months later. I hope you have your push button installed. It is definitely 100 percent possible for sure. Key turn ignition is even a option with just a bit of imagination and modding.
@@1990rexyB18A1 so I didn't put it at all because everything works fine. I remember having looked for this video because I had broken the plastic part of the button on a new g29 after dismantling. But if one day it doesn't work anymore, I'll try a mod
@@1990rexyB18A1 Heyyy, So i was gettting ads about buying a new motherboard and I noticed theres usually a thing popping out from where the ps3 ps4 switch is on the motherboard. I opened up and checked that I had actually broken the switch when i first opened it. I checked on the mother board and noticed a bit of a gap, luckily the switch didnt fall off but just broke in half, the other half was still in when i tried shifting it into the ps4 mode i heard a click and BOOOOOMMM it started working
@@omgupta5090 that is awesome news to hear everything is back working again. It almost sounds like you went through the same thing I did. When I broke mine the first time. There was a small rectangle that snapped off the top of the switch. Then when I took the wheel apart I ended up breaking the whole thing altogether.
@@omgupta5090 well keep on keeping on until that wheel can't anymore! These wheels aren't gold by any means but they are definitely to expensive to buy over and over again.
I can't confirm rivals working due to not owning that exact game title. I do know for fact the only game I have had a issue with is burnout paradise so far. This is the link to the t80 this is the one shown in the video www.amazon.com/Guillemot-Thrustmaster-T80-RS-PS4/dp/B00F9F048E/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=ZNC6W2FX50CL&keywords=thrustmaster+t80&qid=1656331871&sprefix=thrustmaster+t80%2Caps%2C803&sr=8-4 I would however recommend you not to purchase this wheel after checking some prices online. I wouldnt spend more that 60 bucks on it brand new honestly. Definitely try to stay away from any used setups. These wheels were nice at the time they released but super easy to break. This one is called the pnx v9 i havent tried this one and it looks like you get a bit more features for the same price just about. If im not mistaken it even has force feed back comes with a clutch pedal and a shifter. Should still be able to button swap in the ps4 menu as well. www.amazon.com/Steering-Racing-Driving-Shifters-3-pedal-Desktop/dp/B08MT7PY4J/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=J06WATAZ0ZE4&keywords=pnx+v9+gaming+steering+wheel&qid=1656332449&sprefix=%2Caps%2C470&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFOMTRBUzVMSERHNVgmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA5OTE4OTE4TkxNTlZSNjk4R0UmZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDgzMjE4ODFETzRJRks2QzA4SEcmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Thank you for this vid! Unfortunately, I play on PC (PS3 mode) and PS5 (PS4 mode). So, I have to be able to switch between both modes. My g29 is stuck in the ps3 mode and won't switch to the ps4 mode anymore...:(
@@1990rexyB18A1 Thanks...Yeah...it kinda did...I just bought another g29 :D The old one is going to be sold to a dude who only want to play on pc for a reduced price...lost a couple of bugs but sh*t happens.
@@jonahandflip7000 the 923 isn't a bad wheel at all. The drive hub device will work with this setup as well. I can confirm 100%. The only thing I don't like about the wheel is the plus and minus buttons will not work on Xbox. That little dial on the right isn't functional either. But fr ever since I bought this drive hub I haven't used my g29 at all. Every console and PC runs off my Xbox g923.
thank you so much! i fixed mine like this! just soldering green with black on the motherboard on the pcb, and working flawlessly! really good video my friend! hope you upload more videos like this modding and fixing g29! regards
So glad to hear another successful wheels user! I have a button box for console video coming soon it should have been finished but work picked up the year a bit early. I promise the videos are in the making. I appreciate the follow BTW I sent you one back. Stay up fam!
hello there thank you for this video i also broke my switch button i'm stuck in ps3 mode , my qs is can't drift , my car spin alot is this from ps3 mode ? ( i have pc )
What game are you playing on the pc? It sounds like it may possibly be a settings issue. I'm pretty sure the wheel works fine in ps3 mode as long as it's on computer.
@@1990rexyB18A1 carxdrift , fh5 all settings ok when i turn wheel to other side to drift , the wheel spin fast and the car go other side , what's different between ps3 and ps4 mode ?
@@2driving_mromiz667 @2driving_mr omiz I am actually hardwired into PS4 due to me making a boo boo while soldering. As long as you have it registering PS3 you should be completely fine. The only difference between PS3 and PS4 mode that I have noticed is the difference between each console. As long as you are in one certain mode pc should pick it up with no issue. I have the same issue on Forza Horizon 5 when I has my force feedback settings turned up too high. Try dialing it down a drastic amount and see if that may have a little effect. Sorry I can't help more. Keep on responding to me though and I may be able to help you dial everything in.
Hey, I'm facing the same issue however when my switch broke off it also took off 2 copper plates where i could solder the cables (the ones where you wired the black and green wire). Do you think it's possible to find the traces for them? I'm a bit scared to sand back that black area to expose the pcb below it
Thank you for your question this is a first for me. I feel like I can perfectly picture it from your description. Sadly I am not sure if the leads can be traced. The only motivation I can give you is to try the sanding method. As I see it right now in this moment in time if the wheel isn't working it may be your only option. I'm sorry I can't help you more. 😔 please keep me informed if you attempt to do so. I have never search for it but you may be able to buy another board but if it is pricey you may be better off purchasing another wheel setup. I know that's not ideal at all but I understand the pains of having a rig you can't drive.
I sanded back the PCB and found the traces pretty easily however when i try to short the 3 lanes with some pliers (should be the same effect as you you with the 3 cables on the video) my wheel still doesn't work. I'm playing on PC, so the switch itself doesn't really matter, my issue is that none of the buttons on the rim works so i was hoping that would fix it maybe. I bought this wheel as broken so the sole intention was trying to fix it, but maybe there's some other issue with it too i'm yet to find. Do you think shorting these lanes permamently with some solder would be an issue, so it's like it's in PS4 mode? that would at least eliminate that problem with the switch missing
@@MedekTheOne try doing it with only two of the leads either the first two or the the last two. I'm pretty sure the first two are ps3 mode and the the connection with the second and third leads will be ps4 mode. I actually have mine hard soldered with the 2nd and 3rd and it works on ps4 and PC like a charm. I'm not on ps3 anymore so it was worth the hard constant solder for sure. As far as the buttons not working look over the board and make sure they didn't use the wrong screws when the previous owner may have damaged the board elsewhere. Maybe check near the six holes in the middle of the wheel where the black Allen screws are located. Thank goodness you are on PC it gives you a far better chance for success.
If you use this method I don't see why they wouldn't. I can confirm but it may take a while my PS4 setup is down due to bedroom restoration. I have been on Xbox religiously lately.
Hello there Stuntman! I broke my switch too while I open the wheel to fix the paddle shifter plate. Your video will be my guide but I want to ask this: Should I solder the wires or is it enough to touch them just once not solder at all? I dont mind PS3 mode I will use it on PC and PS5 only.
If you can touch the wires to the circuit board every time you power it on I'm pretty sure you will be fine without the soldering. It just needs that initial startup and you're good to go until you turn off the computer. I don't own PS5 but I think it would work the same way.
Yes sir you will have to purchase a converter box if you are on console. What do you play with? PlayStation Xbox or PC? All options have different ways to do it. I use the same setup between all three with just the change of two USBs and one button press. I will help you every step of the way.
The converter box is around $100 on ebay it's called the titan two. I have scripts already made out for a couple games as well. Are you decent working with computer program?
There is also another option you could go with. This is what I have done on my second rig. I went into the wheel and soldered into the paddle shifters and the b button on the circuit board of the g923 for Xbox.
@@1990rexyB18A1 Yes, my steering wheel is connected to the PC, just tell me if the handbrake from Logitech from AliExpress is compatible with the steering wheel because I saw the handbrake has a Usb connector, help !!
Bro wait until I show you how you can do it with an Xbox 360 controller it is going to blow your f****** mind. You won't have a full-blown rig within no time and I am going to walk you through step by step even if we have to video chat. Hopefully my channel will grow a little bit and I can get some cake to where I can send it to you for free of charge. You are definitely fan even though we have never met in person. Your vibe and energy is too live!
You can use it you just have to wire it into PS3 mode I didn't do PS3 in the video I only did PS4 mode. My wheel is currently hard wired to PS4 so I will never be able to use it unless I learn how to be solder but you should be fine.
i tried this and failed. the plate where put the wires fall off and i dont know if can i put it back... is any way to work on pc only Put all those 3 wires together forever? will it work then. pls help ( And sorry for my bad english )
If you are 100% sure that you are going to use it for PC only then you can hard solder it into PlayStation 4 mode or PS3 mode. The PC should pick up on it immediately but only once it it's in PS4 or PS3 mode. Since this video I have removed the wires and just soldered two points together. They are extremely close on the circuit board so it shouldn't be too hard to bridge the connection. My wheel will forever be on the PS4 mode now and works on both my playstation and PC.
