Worked! Had to solder the tab to contact the battery which had broken. Saved $50.00.
The Tools section lists a Tri-Point Y1 Screwdriver but the guide mentions a Tri-Wing Y1 Screwdriver. This could cause people to purchase the wrong item.
iFixit’s guides seem to be based on the original Wii controller, model RVL-003. I’m not sure if Nintendo has changed fasteners for subsequent versions but the Wii MotionPlus Controller, model RVL-036, uses a Tri-Wing Y0 screw.
My controller (the original) had three tri-wing screws and one philips. Not sure why. Had to re-solder the negative battery terminal as it came off the bottom of the ‘top’ (faces bottom) of the board.
