Steps:

1. Use your fingers to slide the battery cover down towards the strap end of the controller.
2. Remove the battery cover.
3. If you're taking the controller apart for repairs, remove the batteries in the controller.

4. Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the controller faceplate for a minute.

5. The controller faceplate is secured with adhesive and three friction pegs.
6. Press the edge of an opening tool into the seam between the controller faceplate and shell, near the Oculus button.
7. If you can’t get the opening tool into the seam, heat the area with an iOpener for a minute and try again.
8. Slide the opening tool to the base of the ring shell to loosen the adhesive.

9. Use an opening tool to pry up on the seam to loosen the first friction peg.

10. Continue prying around the entire faceplate to separate the remaining friction pegs and adhesive.
11. If you're having trouble, apply a heated iOpener to the faceplate for a minute and try again.

12. Remove the controller faceplate.
13. The three friction pegs should hold the faceplate securely, so you don’t need to replace the adhesive during reassembly. Be sure to firmly press the faceplate onto the controller so that all friction pegs fully engage.
