One of the charging ports on my charging station is no longer working. I think one of the metal contacts that is supposed to spring up is trapped in the plastic housing. Does anyone know how to open this thing so I can try and re-seat it?
Thanks!
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

I got one of these that was thrown out at my local gamestop because they said it wasnt charging. I had the same problem where one of the pins was not being exposed when the plastic part moves down. I just used a box cutter knife and used the edge to bend the flattened pin upwards so that it was poking out again. Dont bend them too much because i think they need to make contact with the metal underneath the plastic but just enough to get them poking up again.
You could probably use a tweezers or other small metal instrument to do this as well.
I didnt need to disassemble. It seems like its easy to fold them under the plastic housing that the controller pushes down to expose the connectors.
Unplug the unit before doing this, to be safe.

I have the same issue too...
Can you make a teardown video in order to get to the broken metal contact
