Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Disassembly

Notice: You are editing a prerequisite guide. Any changes you make will affect the guide that includes this step.

Step Type:

Drag to rearrange

The wires will need to be desoldered from the board, and will be replaced later for reassembly.

Note: each pair of wires has the black cable soldered to the lower connection; keep this in mind for the reassembly if the pictures from this guide aren't nearby.

Note: You may be able to get away without desoldering these, depending on what you need to reach (credit to @bikemerlin), but due to the simplicity and fragility of these connections, I would suggest removing them to prevent additional damage.

Some of the solder in this controller requires a very high temperature to release. I had mine set to 450 C, however you may be able to remove it at a lower temperature.

Remove the two T-6 screws from the board near the vibration motors.
