- Insert an opening tool into the crease where the front and rear panel meet, starting from the outside edge of either handle.
- Gently pry the rear panel off of the front panel until they become partially separated.

Question:
I have a ps4 controller model CUH-ZCT2U. My charging board model is jds 050.
Can I buy the jds 055 charging board and put that in? Is the jds 050 and the jds 055 charging board interchangeable?
I can’t seem to find the jds 050 charging boards anywhere. Only the jds 055. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I have not tested the JDS-055 and JDS-050 in a ZCT2U so I cannot guarantee it will work. However, visually they appear to be the same part made by a different manufacturer. I suspect that it will work, but understand that it’s a gamble and make sure the store you buy from has a good return policy like iFixit. If you can wait, add yourself to the notify list for the JDS-050 and order once they become available again.
