Yeah I’m lost here too. I’m pushing where the dot is but nothing is happening. What am I trying to accomplish by pushing there? Is there a clasp on the inside I’m trying to undo or something? I really don’t want to break the controller by using too much force or opening it the wrong way.

Could it be that the sixaxis I have is constructed differently? Or is this just a difficult step?

This step was challenging for me.

I pulled carefully for a long time, but that connector just wasn’t coming out of the socket—it wasn’t budging.

I ended up pulling the red and black wires from the connector—the connector remained in the socket.

I finally did get the connector out by using a pair of pliers to pull the connector while holding the socket in place with my finger, so it ended well.

I had gotten all the way here—I wasn’t willing to accept defeat.
