This guide goes over how to replace the controller's main circuit board.
If your TPC-Q044 circuit board starts failing when using your controller, you may want to think about replacing the component. The failure may be a result of bad soldering or missed connections. The replacement of the circuit board is not too complex. A couple of screwdrivers and a spudger will be sufficient to complete this task. There are no warnings or potential hazards when replacing the board.

Awesome! But were do you get the components to replace from??
Since separate controllers are very difficult to find and expensive (You wont find Samsung ones) I will be interested to buy a few to do repairs to friends and so.
