ID: 213340

Description: This teardown guide show step by step...

Steps:

1. Locate the 4 rubber feet on the top of the controller
2. Use a spudger to pry each of them out
3. They are held in by friction only, no adhesives

4. For reassembly, note that each of the feet have a notched side
5. The holes have a gap that the notch will slide into
6. The upper 2 holes are oriented straight towards the center of the controller grip
7. The lower 2 holes are oriented 45 degrees up and to the center of the grip

8. Using a 00 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 4 screws that were under the 4 rubber feet
9. Note: There will be 3 types of screws you will encounter during disassembly. Pay attention to the type for reassembly.

10. Hold the magnetic center of the controller and apply light pressure to the outer grips using your fingers
11. This will flex the lower cover which will create a space for you to insert your spudger
12. Insert the spudger and twist slightly. This movement should pop the cover off
13. Note: If the cover does not come off, look at the next step for a reference picture of the inside of this cover. There are plastic tabs that can be used as pry locations

14. This is a reference image of what the inside of that lower cover looks like
15. There are 5 tabs that hold onto the upper cover with friction

16. Using the 00 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 4 center screws
17. Like previously mentioned, make note of the size and shape of these screws

18. Using the 00 Phillips head screwdriver, remove the last 2 screws
19. Make note of the 3rd type of screw

20. The lower grips should lift off of the central magnetic section now that all screws have been removed
