Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 6.4 mm-long screws from the rear panel.
-
-
-
Insert an opening tool into the crease where the front and rear panel meet, starting from the outside edge of either handle.
-
Gently pry the rear panel off of the front panel until they become partially separated.
easy, but quite brute way of opening the rear panel without the opening tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYybiBBL...
watch the opening from the back part only, then return here.
That worked but a couple clips broke in the process. Beware for people trying this method.
There are 4 tab clips total, 2 at the top corners (very easy to break) and 2 at the bottom near the ports. The screws will keep it together even if they do break but be careful if you don’t want to break them.

I've written a guide to help others find the clips and unlatch them.

I'm struggling getting the ribbon to connect back in. Why might that be?

Question:
I have a ps4 controller model CUH-ZCT2U. My charging board model is jds 050.
Can I buy the jds 055 charging board and put that in? Is the jds 050 and the jds 055 charging board interchangeable?
I can't seem to find the jds 050 charging boards anywhere. Only the jds 055. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
I have not tested the JDS-055 and JDS-050 in a ZCT2U so I cannot guarantee it will work. However, visually they appear to be the same part made by a different manufacturer. I suspect that it will work, but understand that it’s a gamble and make sure the store you buy from has a good return policy like iFixit. If you can wait, add yourself to the notify list for the JDS-050 and order once they become available again.
Great guide but the correct controller model is CUH-ZCT2U. The title has it as CHU-ZCT2U.
A driver size recommendation would be nice. I tried several and found that a size 2.5 Phillips worked nicely
