Introduction
This is a relatively straight forward disassembly. Cleaning or swapping the battery when the time comes should be no problem.
What you need
-
-
-
Use a TX 6 screwdriver to remove the four screws on the downside of the controller.
-
-
-
-
Now the case is open you see the main board.
-
There are three power connections with simple plugs: the two vibration motors to the left and right, and the battery connection in the middle.
-
At the center you also see the switch to toggle between 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth. The plastic cover on the switch is not firmly attached, it can easily be pulled off.
-
-
-
Carefully pull up the main board and the trigger buttons section. The only thing that holds them in place once the screws have been removed is a plug that attaches the main board to a secondry board that hold the additional buttons (x-box, start, select, etc.)
-
The trigger section is not attached to the main board except for the battery connector, which connects the board to the battery that is in the triggers assembly group.
-
-
-
Replacing the battery should be no problem.
-
You can also see the sticks. Replacing those would require soldering skills, since they are drirectly soldered to the main board. Replacing the plastic sticks is easier, but beware: default X-Box replacement sticks don't seem to fit without modifications!
