              Side Handles

We recommend using a nylon spudger for this step. A metal spudger is shown.
Grip the controller firmly to remove the side handles, wedging a spudger into the seam between the front and handle plates.
Pry the side plate away from the front plate by moving the spudger back and forth. You will need to do this all the way around the side plate’s seam.

Remove the five 10mm screws located on the back of the controller using the T8 Security Torx Screwdriver.

It was a good tutorial, but i have two plastic rings that stay after my instervention… Anyone knows where are-they ?

Fraser Currie - Mar 1, 2017

Note before starting. You need a T8 security bit (with a hole in the middle), not a standard T8 bit.

Lee - May 25, 2017

I took mine a part because it was looking dirty, gave it a good clean, putting it back together was easy but it wont work with the batteries anymore just the power core, there is nothing broken or cracked, any ideas?

Alexandre Foley - Oct 28, 2017

Maybe you forced the battery contact on the wrong side of the case?

Brandon Reiser - Dec 26, 2017

Alex is probably right. It’s easy to let the two battery contacts on one side get covered by the bottom plate. Take battery cover off and compare the metal bits you see to a known good one.
