Instructions to the Two Button Rapid Fire Controller Mod Installation

One common modification for the PlayStation 3 game console is adding a mod chip to the main circuit board of the controller. This chip enables rapid fire controls via the "L2" and "r2' buttons located at the top of the controller. This mod chip is solderless so installing it means disassembling the controller. Complete the mod quickly even if you don't know much about electronics.
