Before you can access the inner components of the controller, you must remove the top motherboard. This guide will show you how to do this by de-soldering.

Grip the controller firmly to remove the side handles, wedging a spudger into the seam between the front and handle plates.
-
Pry the side plate away from the front plate by moving the spudger back and forth. You will need to do this all the way around the side plate's seam.
Start prying the side plate off underneath the trigger, this makes it easier to disconnect the other clips connecting the side plate to the backplate.
One you take it off, is it possible to click it back in?
As long as you don’t exceed the couple tons you need to take it off you should be able to put it back.

I don’t have a squdger
getting those handles back on seems impossible, they just dont fit as well, a gap remains even after snapping into place.
Dont think ill be doing this in the future
edit: wiggled the bo9ttom middlewith the handles off and somethign finally “clicked” into place for that extra 1/4 mm for the down arrow on my D-Pad to click back up into place!.

Use a screwdriver and punch a hole directly in the center of the label.

Remove the five 10mm screws located on the back of the controller using the TR8 Security Torx Screwdriver.
i damaged my screws. how do i get the screws out?
wait. i just watched a video guide on ifixit's youtube channel about damaged screws. i'll try those methods.
It's a t8 or t9 security bit btw, I got the top two out with a regular T8, but the bottom two and middle needed a T9 Security bit.
All five faceplate/backplate screws in the controller I disassembled were T8 security fasteners.
Am I doing something wrong because I got the tool it said I needed and got the middle screw out but the others have a bump or something in the center of the screw and it won't fit.
The T8 is only good for the middle screw on my One S controller. The others require something bigger
These requires SECURITY Torx bits (they have a cannulated hole in the driver). I don't believe the iFixIt branded driver is cannulated but you can buy a set of bits from DeWalt DWAX200 which is overkill but has what you need.
The driver that iFixIt sells is cannulated.
where do you get this dumb ass screw driver
iFixit Store #IF145-027-3
You can bypass it with a 1.5mm flathead.
thank you for this. worked for me
These screws required a T10, not T8.
TR9. A $10 kit from Walmart has the bit/driver in it and extra goodies to make life simple.
As weird as it sounds, the top 2 came out for me with a flathead- but the bottom two and the middle one wont
If you damage the middle part of the screws you can still take it out with the same screwdriver.
Thank-You :)
needed a T8H, not easy to see.
on a grey green xbox one controller
On my 1708 controller there are two internal screws near the rumble motors that need to be removed with a T6 non security bit to remove the back cover.

De-solder the soldered joints while holding the red and black wires down on the top motherboard.

De-solder the black and gray wires that are attached to the top motherboard.

Remove the rumble motors and set them aside.
Steps 6-8 aren't completely necessary, and are very risky if you aren't good at soldering. It would seem the only reason to remove the motherboard and mess with all this soldering is just so you can reach both screws on the trigger in step 10. However, you can reach them already with a small-bodied screwdriver. Although you might have to rest the screwdriver on the black square processor to reach the bottom screw, it shouldn't damage the processor or motherboard to jimmy that screw out.
Thank you very much. There's no need for soldering.

like mentioned by ‘Robert Rapier’ you can skip the de-soldering in most cases,
for example cleaning or changing the buttons is doable, but the grey and black wires are pretty short
and wired through the inner case so it can get a bit fiddly and you have to be careful not to damage them in the process.
If you have a soldering station around i would still recommend using it.
Thanks to above commenters. Can confirm I was able to do a button repair without soldering. Thank you all!
If you peal back the Kapton tape mounting the grey/black wires there is enough play to maneuver all the boards for cleaning most of the buttons from a soda spill. Cleaning the dimple buttons on the mother board by immersion requires the de-solder...

Unscrew the two 7mm T6 screws located near the rumble motor sockets.
Are these just T6 screws or Torx security T6 that is cannulated?
The outer screws are security screws. The ones on the system boards are Torx.

Firmly grip sides of motherboard near the middle.

Lift upwards while slightly wiggling the motherboard forward and backward.
Hola, como se instala el software a la nueva placa base ?

where can i get a top motherborde replacement??
Hi John,
Unfortunately, beyond the parts list given on the main page, I don't know of any other reliable links. I'd suggest Googling the part, or maybe searching on eBay.

I was only able to unscrew 2 of the Torx screws. They have a pin right in the middle that doesn't allow for the screwdriver to be fully inserted, or at all. The two screws I was able to unscrew must've had a shorter pin than the others.
These points on the head is what we call a security torx screw. You will need the specific T8 or T6 Security Torx Screwdriver to remove these screws.
You can use a small flat blade screwdriver ;-)
If any of the screws are tight, the centre pin may snap, then you can just use a normal Torx bit.
Salut, merci pour le tuto bien expliqué. Je sais déjà démonter, remonter entièrement ma manette, sais-tu ou acheter des carte-mere pour manette xhox one ? Celle qui tient les deux joysticks. Bonne journée
