Steps

Time Required

20 minutes

Introduction

If the YCCTEAM YCC-SW4001's vibration feature is not working as expected, then follow this guide to replace the rumble motors.

The rumble motors are a feature of a controller that vibrates after a certain condition in a game. This condition is different in each game. The intensity of the rumble is fixed, which means it doesn't get more intense or less intense over time. This may be unwanted for some users, so unplugging them could benefit the overall experience.

Tools

Step 1

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the eight 9.15 mm screws that secure the back case.

Step 2

Use an opening pick to pry the back cover off of the controller.
This exposes the battery’s housing.

Step 3

Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the three 9.15 mm screws from the back of the controller.

Step 4

Delicately lift the front case slightly by pulling it away from the back case.
Do not remove the front cover completely; it is still attached to the motherboard by a white ribbon cable.

Step 5

Use the tip of the opening pick to flip up the black locking flap of the ZIF connector.
The black flap holds the white ribbon cable in place.

Step 6

Use tweezers to disconnect the white ribbon cable from the ZIF connector.

Step 7

Remove the front case.

Step 8

On the front side, unplug the cables connecting the two rumble motors to the circuit board by gripping each cable and pulling away from the corresponding plug with moderate force.
When replacing the rumble motors, press each plug down into its socket until it snaps into place.
