Teardown

Introduction

Tools

Essential Electronics Toolkit

Step 1

First step you would have to do would be to unscrew five screws from the back of the controller.

Step 2

After you unscrewed all five screws in the back, next you're going to have to gently pull both of the controller sides apart and it will come straight off.

Step 3

Then you have to take off the battery and you have to be very careful, if you break the battery your controller wont work.

Step 4

There are two screws and you are going to unscrew one from above and the bottom.

Step 5

Then you are going to take off these analog sticks.
( You can put the analog sticks back on )

Step 6

Then you will be able to lift right off the other stuff that will be left.

Step 7

and now you have all your parts of your DualShock 3 PS3 controller all scattered, to put it back together you would just have to follow the steps backwards.

Thanks for the contribution. This seems to be a Chinese fake model though. None of the board features look neither VX model. No white plastic frame, battery not grey, and SONY logo on the front "seems" to be not aligned, hence the fake model. So many Amazon and Ebay fakes at $20-$30 bearing the SONY registered trademarks, its become a plague. "P2" controllers and fake DS3's are identical, other than the logos. One must be careful and ask for pictures of the exact controller being sold, and if possible board model. If no returns, stay away.

Yeah this is a fake model. Evident by the blue battery.
