Introduction

What you need

Step 1

              Tools you need
  • A screwdriver with…
  • a Y 2.0 sized Tri-wing screwhead for the case
  • and Phillips head for the motherboard.
  • Some kind of pry (Prolly your nail 🤣, or your broke-ass credit card might do 💵)
  • Pair of tweezers for delicate tasks
  • Pair of dry, steady hands. (No caffeine for you!)

Step 2

              Unscrew and open the case
  • There are 5 screws in the case, one of them is under the sticker (Circled in red)
  • Pry open from the bottom (Red line) . don’t pry from the top (orange line), otherwise, the fastening slot will be damaged. (photo showed in next step)

              This is the slot that I'm saying

Step 4

              Be cautious after opening the case.
  • The weight (yellow) is not fixed and can easily drop. Don’t lose them.
  • There’s a non-functional plastic plug (green circle) that’ll fall easily too. Be careful.
  • You will find 2 connections. (red circle)

You will find 2 connections. (red circle)

Step 5

              Disconnect the connections
  • The white strip is the data line. To disconnect, use a tweezer to (1) slide open the black button from both sides , then (2) pull the blue part.
  • The tri-colored wire is the power line. Simply pull it up. (Don’t forget it’s orientation)
  • Seperate the upper and lower controller case

Step 6

              Locate the magnet (and put it back if you can)
  • Your magnet won’t rattle because it’s attached somewhere else inside your controller.
  • Find the bastard and pick it up with tweezers
  • In this step, you may attempt to stick it back to the black encasement. But if you fail so, continue to the next step.

Step 7

              Go extra mile for the magnet
  • Unscrew the 6 screws,
  • Separate the lower analog motherboard first. Beware of the connection (Yellow)
  • And then seperate the upper motherboard.

Step 8

              Take off the trigger button to access the encasement
  • Unscrew these 2 screws (red circle) to detach the trigger button. (From behind, duh!) (P.S. I was lazy and I didn’t take photos of the disassembled button and motherboard 😶)
  • You should have good access here. Now yell “GET BACK INTO THE F**KING MACHINE!!! MAGNET!!!” (If you know the reference😏)

Step 9

              Test the controller before reassembling it
  • Reassemble it like lego.
  • Reconnect the cables and try out the buttons with some controller testing site before screwing it back in
  • Did I save the day for you? If yes, have a great day! If not, maybe you missed some steps. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
