    • You can remove the side panels with a pry tool.

    • You don't need to remove the rubber. The rubber on this controller was already bad.

    all the T8 screws on my controller have a clear filling in them, WTF?!?!?

    all my T8 screws have a clear filling in them, WTF?!?!?!

    Patrick Henry - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    I've never seen that, I can't advise much other than scrapping it out with an xacto knife

    EasyAsABC123 - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    My screws have a tiny metal pin in the center. Looks like I need a TR8 bit, not a T8. This might be what you are mistaking for a clear filling.

    Steve McGinn - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    Thanks it might be TR8 i’ll update the guide

    EasyAsABC123 - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    While a TR8 will work, they’re actually TR9 screws on mine (Model 1698, X912908-004).

    • Be careful to not rip the ribbon cable.

    • You can pop the connector up to remove the ribbon easily.

    • Ribbon Cable

    My connector did not look like this and popping it up broke it

    Amarokstar - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    please post a picture of the connector so we can update this, you also might have a newer revision of the motherboard

    EasyAsABC123 - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    Is there any way to replace that connector bar or maybe an alternative to keeping the contacts down on the ribbon if it’s broken?

    Joe - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    @joe you can try tape, or even hot glue (easy to remove with rubbing alcohol), that might hold it down. I wasn’t able to find the connector but i’m sure if you count the number of pins and measure it you’d be able to locate a replacement connector on something like mouser.

    • Desolder the 4 wires on each side, these control the vibrations and the RT LT.

    If you are just replacing the main power board there is no need to desolder at this point. The main power board can be removed with the controller board still in place.

    Hi,

    I would like to know if I could get from you a Motherboard . In case you don' t have it, where could I find one?

    Thank you

    Hi, I have 2 not working controllers (both 1698 and 1708). The 1708 broke the bumper switch, I manage to fix it but as always, postponed. So, can I either swap Xbox One Elite comtroller (1698) into Xbox One (1708) shell/housing or vice versa??

    Or can I mix both motherboard together so I can make one of them working?

    Fitifazrul Rahman - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    It might work…it might damage one of the boards but probably wouldn’t

    EasyAsABC123 -

    I would like to buy a motherboard, can you please stock some up?

    davi_t - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

    I don’t work for ifixit, I don’t know if they see comments on a private made guide.

    EasyAsABC123 -

    I decided to toss all this stuff in the trash at this point as I am not going to spend +$50 on equipment and replacement parts to fix a $60 controller. But thanks for the educational manual all the same.

    • Unscrew the 6 Torx (T6) screws.

    On the 2nd picture: the D-pad dome switches are covered by a clear plastic film: is possible to remove it/reattach that plastic film? I believe there might be something stuck underneath the dome switches that’s interfering with the d-pad buttons working reliably/consistently. I know I could just replace the daughterboard, but I’m trying to avoid doing that if I can just clean it some how/find a way around it
