Does anyone know how to figure out if an xbox 360 controller has the matrix on the circuit board?

i am facing problem in designing the circuit and getting an appropriate microphone and RF transmitter and receiver chips in delhi
I am torn between these similar degrees. I want to work in chip design for computers, ideally for a large cutting edge company like intel, amd, nvidia, etc.
Here are mutually required courses that I will take either way:
CPE 112 – Introduction to Computer Programming in Engineering
CPE 212 – Fundamentals of Software Engineering
CPE 323 – Introduction to Embedded Computer Systems
EE 100 – Fundamentals of Computer, Electrical and Optical Engineering
EE 202 – Introduction to Digital Logic Design
EE 213 – Electrical Circuit Analysis I
EE 310 – Solid State Fundamentals
EE 315 – Introduction to Electronic Analysis and Design
EE 420 – Random Signals and Noise
These courses are required for CPE:
CS 214 – Introduction to Discrete Structures
CS 317 – Introduction to Design and Analysis of Algorithms
CPE 353 – Software Design and Engineering
CPE 321 – Computer Organization
CPE 422 – Advanced Logic Design
CPE 381 – Fundamentals of Signals and Systems for Computer Engineers
CPE 431 – Introduction to Computer Architecture
CPE 434 – Operating Systems
CPE 448 – Introduction to Computer Networks
And these are required for EE:
PH 113 – Physics III(wave motion, optics, relativity, quantum effects)
EE 307 – Electricity and Magnetism
EE 313 – Electrical Circuit Analysis II
EE 382 – Analytical Methods for Continuous Time Systems
EE 383 – Analytical Methods for Multivariable and Discrete Time Systems
EE 425 – Introduction to Control and Robotic Systems
EE 447 – Electromagnetic Engineering
EE allows for 5 electives while CPE only allows for 2, so If I did EE I could still take several of the extra software courses.
What do you guys think? Which degree/course work seems more appropriate for someone who wants to work with hardware, but specifically with something like microprocessors? Course descriptions can be looked up by searching the course number on this catalog: http://catalog.uah.edu/
Thanks anyone for your time
No, I don’t mean work with hardware like program it, I want to do hardware design.
Every radio, computer, game console, and other electronic gizmo I’ve opened up and looked within has a green circuit board. I’ve seen circuit boards of other colors after conducting an image search on a search engine, but that brings up the question why they are mostly green to begin with.
The only answer I can come up with is that perhaps the green ones are specifically for consumer electronics, and circuit boards of a different color are for the armed forces, or specialty purposes such as satellites or space shuttles. Thanks ahead of time for any input.
Okay im trying to make what my uncle did in high school he made a buzz bomb where you used resisters and capiciters in a series to make a timer connected to a buzzer a switch and a battery. I have a 4m ohm resister and a 15 uf capiciter.
To avoid static?
How would I solve the output voltage for these? I don’t know because all the diodes look different. What is the math and formulas used to solve these?
Here is a picture of the circuits.

I was given a soulution that is promised to take the Liquid out of the circut board of my phone and we are unsure of what it is. Myself and a few other people think that it is acetone because A) it smells/looks like acetone
B) that it will melt the plastic on the phone, to only dip the circut board in it.
it did take most of the fluid out of the phone. So if the is anyone that could tell me what this Solution could be that would be great
I’ve got an Amana 93HQ furnace, a Goodman CKL36-1L AC unit, and a Robertshaw (unk model) digital thermostat. All are about 2-3 years old.
Several days ago, we lost power to my house during an electrical storm. The power was off for several hours. Eventually, the utility company replaced the (ancient) transformer and restored power. I do not know what else they may have done, as I was at work when power was restored. I know a loud lightning strike woke me, but I do not see any evidence of an actual strike at the house.
Upon returning home, I found that my DSL modem, my garage door opener motor, and my digital thermostat were not functioning. All other electronic devices seem fine (TV, Wii, etc).
The modem power supply had been humming for a while, and my electrician friend said that garage door motors seem to be sensitive to the surge after a transformer hookup. Particularly if they hooked the house to the transformer, and -then- hooked the transformer to the grid. He said this seems to create issues more often than hooking the transformer to the line, and then the house to the transformer. I have no idea how things were connected, obviously.
Upon looking into the thermostat issue, I found that the 3A fuse on my furnace board was blown. Replace, blows again. With some trial and error, I found that the circuit is -fine- in the heat, or fan-only settings. It’s only when the thermostat tries to activate the AC that an issue occurs. Discussion with an HVAC acquaintance of mine led me to think it may be the contactor.
I pulled the access cover from my AC unit, and manually pushed the contactor…everything seems to work normally. Fan spins, I can hear the compressor fire up, etc. Try to activate from the thermostat, though, and the 3A fuse blows. I also pulled the low-voltage wires at the furnace board (wires which run out to contactor on AC unit). When this is done, the thermostat can be switched to "Cool" without issue. Obviously the AC unit doesn’t engage, but no fuses blow.
Ideas? Could the surge of power (after transformer replacement) have hosed the coil in the contactor? Is there a way to test this, prior to replacing the contactor? Is there a way to get 24V power to the contactor (to see if it engages) without tripping the fuse on the furnace board?
Other thoughs, suggestions, or advice?
