Introduction

Use this guide if one or more of the buttons on your device are broken, not responding, or dirty.

Warning: Use caution when placing the joystick face down on the table. The joystick can crack if placed down too hard. Be sure to gently turn the device over and place it face down. It can be helpful to balance the other side of the device to distribute the weight.

Warning: The components on the buttons (plastic tabs, wires, connectors) are very fragile. Handle with care to avoid breaking or damaging it.

What you need

Step 1

              Buttons
  • Because of the protruding joystick on the top of the controller, make sure to work on a soft surface, or prop the controller up to avoid stress on the joystick.
  • Place the controller face down (buttons and joystick down).
  • Use a Phillips Head #1 screwdriver to remove the eight 9.65 mm screws located on the felt and metal backplate.
  • Do not confuse the four screws in the rubber feet with the eight screws in the felt. The screws in the feet do not need to be removed.
