Introduction

For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your controller. This reduces the risk of fire if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.

You’ll need replacement adhesive when reassembling your device.

What you need

Step 1

              Unfasten the back cover screws
  • Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the four 11 mm-long screws securing the back cover.

  • Use the point of a spudger to disconnect the right vibration motor by pushing the connector straight out of its socket.

  • Remove the battery.
  • Do not reinstall a damaged or deformed battery, as doing so is a potential safety hazard.
  • Secure the new battery with pre-cut adhesive or double-sided adhesive tape. In order to position it correctly, apply the new adhesive into the frame at the places where the old adhesive was located, not directly onto the battery. Press the new battery firmly into place.
