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.
why are you opening the controller for a battery replacement?
The wording is unclear. It is the battery shell and front shell replacement guide. Not the actual batteries.
my battery cover is different. The batteries are attached to the actual cover and come out when the back is removed.
