    • Remove the battery from the controller by inserting the plastic spudger into the small gap on the bottom right of the battery.

    • Use the spudger as a lever to pry up and remove the battery from the compartment.

    • Once the battery has been removed, we will remove the 4 screws in the battery compartment and then the 4 screws around the back of the case. These 8 screws use the Y0 bit. Each of these screws are 5.5 mm.

    • The four screws on the outside are extremely deep into the casing, and the holes are pretty small. You will need to use a 4 mm driver bit extension to reach these screws.

    • Once all of the screws are removed, simply use one hand to hold the front panel in place and lift up on the back panel to remove it. Place the back panel so the insides are facing up towards you.

    • Locate the two triggers (ZL and ZR) and pop them up and out by pressing on them from the outside.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
