I got one of these that was thrown out at my local gamestop because they said it wasnt charging. I had the same problem where one of the pins was not being exposed when the plastic part moves down. I just used a box cutter knife and used the edge to bend the flattened pin upwards so that it was poking out again. Dont bend them too much because i think they need to make contact with the metal underneath the plastic but just enough to get them poking up again.

You could probably use a tweezers or other small metal instrument to do this as well.
I didnt need to disassemble. It seems like its easy to fold them under the plastic housing that the controller pushes down to expose the connectors.[br]

Unplug the unit before doing this, to be safe.
