Introduction

This guide will go over how to replace the small circuit board in your device.

You will need to have a new circuit board to replace the old one with.

Be careful around the edges of the circuit board as they can be sharp and you could possibly cut yourself.

Slide the rear compartment cover in the direction of the arrow.
If replacing batteries, ensure the (+) and (-) on the battery match the (+) and (-) labeled in the battery compartment.

Grip the main body and pull the joystick outwards until the entire front panel pops off.
Remove the 6mm screw in the corner of the joystick well using a Phillips #00 screwdriver.

Use a spudger to pry apart the two halves of the assembly.
Work slowly, prying a small section at a time until the halves are completely separated.

Using a Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the four 4mm screws located on the joystick circuit board underneath the top half of the controller.

Remove the orange flat cable by pulling the orange tab parallel to the circuit board.
Release the blue flat cable by lifting up the white latch with a spudger.

Any idea if I can buy a replacement ribbion cable
