wow it worked. I used a copper wire to solder the two points together. didn’t like the idea of making a huge blob.

Yup, this worked for me as well. After unplugging it and plugging it into a new computer, the light would not turn on. Plugging it back in the original computer, the light would still not turn on or detect as new hardware.

I had a friend Cracked it open and performed this solder with a wire across the top and it detects and works fine now.

Thanks a TON. It is not easy to order a new replacement for this wireless adapter.

Thanks, this guide helped fix my wireless receiver after it randomly died in the middle of an online game. Used aluminum foil and electrical tape and the receiver is working great again.

Hey man! Thank you so much! I’ve had my receiver for two years, plugged it in to play a game and it was dead. I de-soldered the old fuse and attempted to bridge the gap and got a big glob of solder across my other components. Had to de-solder that and scrape it off, tried again and success! Thanks again!
