    • Carefully turn over the controller and place it on a flat surface.

    • Slowly separate the top panel from the bottom panel.

    • The buttons are loose and may fall off the motherboard.

    • Once separated, set aside the top panel.

    • During reassembly, make sure the front panel lines up with the buttons so they slide back into place.
