This guide will be used to open the DJI Phantom 3 Standard Remote Controller to access and replace the joysticks. The joysticks are a significant part of the controller because they help steer the drone. If you are having trouble moving the joysticks, refer to this troubleshooting guide before starting any replacements. This repair is tricky because of the number of small components keeping the joysticks in place.
Caution: Once the braces located inside the controller are unscrewed and the housing is lifted, the springs will lose tension and may pop out of place.
