[* black] Separating main board from plastic housing... more screws! Twelve more Torx security screws and one lone Philips.
[* black] Very simple construction here, and only the one board. It's a little unfortunate that so many ports are soldered down/difficult to service—but there's so much redundancy with those nineteen accessory ports, maybe it's not a big deal? (Provided you don't need all 19 of course.) It helps that button functions can also be remapped in software.
-[* black] Minimal chip ID here! Might as well do it
+[* black] Just a few chips in this sea of green:
[* red] A Microsoft-branded ARM chip labeled X905893-002
[* icon_note] This is more than likely the MCU. [https://www.acidmods.com/forum/index.php/topic,43981.msg330154.html#msg330154|One person] claims this same chip is in the Xbox One controllers (the 1708 variety). On the hunt for more info.
