WiiDual is having color and stability issues

[DrJim]

Hey there, I have a Wii dual from round 2 of preorders and it has started having issues with the color and stability as displayed in the images.

This is an issue with the flex connection. Did you use leaded or lead free solder? If you use leaded tiny cracks can form over time.

sorry for not replying as I had put this project on a shelf for a bit but I'm now returning to it, as for the solder I believe it was led free solder but I can't be sure as solder from my maker space, would there be any visible sines on the flex connection or a way to indicate that the solder has cracked?
