      • Four fragile plastic clips hold the panels together. You can see their locations more clearly in this guide.

      • The clips help hold the seams together. If you break these clips, the controller will still work.

      • 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.

      • Use your fingers to gently pull the ribbon cable straight out of its connector on the motherboard.

      • Since this cable's pull tab is too small to grab with fingers or tweezers, grab the cable itself. Otherwise utilize pull tabs whenever possible.

      • During reassembly, grab the ribbon cable by the blue tab and gently press the cable straight into the connector. Push the blue tab rather than the ribbon cable itself.
