Einleitung
Background: My left analog stick started having drift and left-right phantom input problems, so this controller was already on the deathbed.
For disassembly, I drilled two screws out because I didn't want to wait for a longer T6 driver, so this controller is permanently damaged now both physically and (already was) electronically.
Was du brauchst
-
-
Start by taking out the 4 obvious screws, two on each side.
-
You'll need a long-necked T6 driver if you want to get these out cleanly. (At least 1" / 25mm.)
-
The pro tech toolkit does not have one long enough, so I used a slightly hacked hex key on two of them (stripping the heads) and ended up drilling out the other two because the hex key is not a good fit.
-
-
-
These are hidden under the label, simply use a sharp blade or just punch through the label with something sharp.
-
There are two at the top just outside the holes showing metal, and one near the bottom center.
-
The two at the top are much deeper in, but my normal T6 fits just fine.
-
-
-
Starting at the bottom center seems easiest and leaves the least amount of visual scratches.
-
Go all the way around, going below/behind the USB port. (see second picture)
-
-
-
-
Upon removing the backplate, there will be two battery hinges that may come off on either side.
-
I recommend keeping them on the backplate for reassembly later.
-
Next there is the backplate release switch, composed of two plastic parts and two springs.
-
See the 3rd picture of those parts.
-
-
-
Two screws near the top center.
-
Two screws on the far sides on top of the battery holder plastic backings.
-
-
-
Two screws hold each touchpad in place. They are mirrored across.
-
You might need to lift the motherboard by a finger's width to reach two of the four screws. (They are slightly underneath the battery holder plastic.)
-
-
-
The only thing attached to the trackpads are the ribbon cables, be careful when lifting the motherboard off the front face plastic.
-
-
-
These ribbon cables are actually really easy to take out, just tug gently straight away from the board.
-
ESD-safe tweezers are recommended for re-insertion, as the stiff ends are very small and difficult to grasp.
-
-
-
This thing literally just pops off using two plastic pressure-based latches. Just pull it in the direction the USB cable would go from the motherboard.
-
-
-
The screw for the bumper setups is on the opposite side of the motherboard, under the trackpad location.

Much appreciated! I'm about to pop mine over to give them a good clean!
