How-To: Guitar Hero II X-Plorer cardboard mod for unresponsive fret buttons

Having fret button problems with your Guitar Hero II X-Plorer controller? Beacon, a member of the Grown Up gamers forum, has posted a tutorial detailing what you can do in order to fix your X-plorer controller’s unresponsive buttons. There have been other tutorials  for this issue, but according to Beacon, “all the sites I was pointed to have either gone into the ether or are terminally unavailable,” so he decided to make one himself.

It’s a pretty easy tutorial, too, and you won’t even have to buy anything. Here’s what you’ll be needing:

• Small Phillips Screwdriver
• Decent Pair of Scissors
• Cardboard (Pop-Tarts, Fruit Snack, whatever)
• Pen/Pencil
• Scotch Tape

The first step after gathering your materials, of course, is to open up your X-plorer controller. After that, well, click on the “read” link below for the full tutorial.
