Steps:

1. Grip one side of the controller firmly.
2. Insert an opening pick into the crease between the faceplate and the body of the controller.

4. Carefully move the picks along the controller's crease line until you hear a popping sound.
5. Gently lift off the faceplate by hand.

6. Remove the 8 mm screws from the hard cover using a JIS #00 screwdriver.
7. Since the screws have been removed, avoid shaking or moving your controller too much to prevent other buttons from falling out.

8. Gently lift off the hard cover with your hand; it should not need much force.

9. Remove the back panel by pulling it away from the front.
10. Disconnect the cable by squeezing the two sides while pulling the cable away from the motherboard.

11. Touch the hot tip of the soldering iron to the first solder connecting the buttons to the motherboard until the solder melts.

13. Be careful of the hot soldering tip.

14. When the solder has completely melted, flip the controller and gently pull the wire free from the motherboard.
15. Repeat for the other black wire.
