This guide shows how to replace the motherboard in a ASUS ROG Raikiri Pro controller. If your controller is not communicating with the device that it's plugged in or paired with, or if your controller is just completely failing, follow this guide for replacement.
A working motherboard should not only provide power to the controller but also work as communication pathways. Sadly not all motherboards last forever and might need to be replaced.
Since this guide will include the removal of the controller battery and if you realize that you have a swollen battery, please handle it accordingly before moving forward.
Before you begin the repair, make sure the controller is off and disconnected from the charger.
