Gamepad Midi controller Malfunction

[ThermoSHOCK]

Hey, guys I have recently created a midi controller using the gamepad method since it was the cheapest. When I plug it in to test it windows says it has malfunctioned adn cannot be discovered. I have tried plugging it in and plugging it out however it does not work. Im stumped and I already googled for help and I cant find help. Can anyone help?

But is there a fix to this? Most people who done the gamepad-midi mod had no problems.

When soldering wires to gamepad you can easily burn your board while you hold soldering iron longer than 5-10 seconds, if you take more time while soldering be careful for overheating the board. I burned one when was figuring out how to do LEDs and it was worth it

So thats why its messed up. Looks like I need to get a new board and solder onto the pots instead of ripping it off.
