    • Turn over the Vive controller so that the bottom saucer is facing up.

    • Use the T5 Torx screwdriver to remove three black 21mm screws from the bottom saucer.

    Where can I buy new t5 21 mm screws? Mine are getting stripped out!

    Where can you get replacement batteries?

    The middle bottom screw may have some form of warranty sticker on it if you have a Vive Pro wand (which is purple). Mine had this. Easy enough to remove and get on with it.

    • Use the nylon spudger to separate the top and bottom saucer covers all around the edges.

    • Remove only the top saucer cover by pulling up with your hand.

    My top saucer was REALLY stubborn. Don’t force it with your hand, use the spudger to separate it at the seam. Try not to poke your spudger in too deep, there are internals just inside the seam.

    The second time around, I learned why it was so stubborn. The picture suggests that you should start at the base of the saucer and work your way around, but that’s backwards.

    Start separating with your spudger at the distal side of the saucer and work your way toward the handle. Then for the last part, pull the piece up and away, like peeling a banana. See the second picture for the bottom half of the saucer, below. Do the same on the top.

    • Use the Phillips 00 screwdriver to remove the three silver 12.8mm screws from the exposed upper sensor panel.

    It’s Phillips 0, not 00.

    You do not need to remove these screws to remove the bottom saucer. They provide stability to the two halves of the donut.

    pacoavocado - 답글

    I had the same experience. Putting the screws back in made the bottom shell easier to remove.

    Nate Plamondon - 답글

    I concur, you don’t need to remove these screws to take the bottom shell off.

    I found mine had ph#000 screws size, not ph#00.

    • Carefully pull away the bottom saucer cover with your hand.

    • To aid in removing the saucer cover, squeeze the base of the controller with your other hand, as shown in the second image of this step. Squeezing will make the clips easier to release and help prevent them from breaking.

    I found the re-assembly of this difficult until I concentrated on two areas - the lugs which go into the handle first, then the central ring. My earlier concern was for the optical sensors on the wings but these snapped into place easily as the central ring was manoeuvred.

    From what I can tell, there are two clicks on each side? one is quite easy, then the other one seems to require considerable force pushing down and on the side, I had to do it one side at a time and found two YouTube videos performing this step to use as reference. I have the vive pro wands and not the originals, so this may explain the difference. This felt very wrong to me.

    • Turn over the Vive controller so that the exposed bottom saucer panel is facing up.

    • Use the T5 Torx screwdriver to remove the three black 5.2mm screws.

    Leave the middle screw where it is (the one being unscrewed in the picture). That screw holds the two halves of the photodiode assembly together, not the case.

    five screws… two at bottom

    I concur with trevosklar, don’t need to remove center screw to remove front panel (pad cover).

    • Use the nylon spudger to separate the front panel gently by running the spudger around the edges of the handle.

    • Only separate the front panel around the edges. Do not try to completely remove the panel yet.

    • Gently lift the right side of the panel to the left.

    • Disconnect the upper ribbon cable gently by pulling the ribbon up and away from the motherboard with two fingers.

    • Do not try to disconnect the ribbon cables from the front panel.

    You do not have to remove the ribbon cables from the plugs…you can carefully work the battery holder around them and remove it…being very gentle. And the black part of the handle will stay attached to the cables and be in the way. But removing the cables does make it easier to access the area for the battery, just not completely necessary.

    Hallo what is the name of this conector because i Broker it

    Happy Forscher - 답글

    Yeah I did as instructed only to realize after that my gen 1 vive controller does not do that, and i desoldered the power button ribbon. That cable, does NOT detach on my model. destroyed.

    I found this to be true of mine as well (purchased 2018).

    Renjamin - 답글

    Same with mine, also purchased 2018. It seems the silver plate part can be skipped for later models.

    Daan Steenmeijer - 답글

    Second the above with a slight correction. Phillips 00.

    • Disconnect the three-pin cable gently by pinching the cable with two fingers and pulling up.

    Don't pull the battery cable! You risk pulling the pins out of the socket. Happened to me. I don't know how to do it properly but I had to use a fine flat screwdriver to try to get the socket out. It got a bit mangled unfortunately.

    • Lift the battery frame to remove the battery from the Vive controller

    Suddenly, here the electronics of the saucer are gone, but there’s no previous step mentioning its removal. This is kind of important because loosening the ribbon cables attaching it to the mainboard is a bit finicky.

    • Use the Phillips 00 screwdriver to remove the two black 5.8mm screws from the top of the motherboard.

    These should be the silver screws not the black screws

    Thomas Edwards - 답글

    Yeah, I think he switched the bottom battery screws with these in a previous disassembly. (see my comment at step 14) I’m opening mine for the first time since new purchase and the motherboard has 4 T5 screws.

    Thanks in advance!

    Moatazzu993 - 답글

    I believe it’s just a weight to help balance the controller by shifting the center of gravity closer to the rear/bottom end. It doesn’t connect to anything, and the board has its own shield. So, just a slab of metal.

    Jeff Suovanen -

    Awesome THANKS. … uh … where do I get another motherboard? DoH!

Hi, do you know where I can get a new motherboard? I bought my controller second hand and after several months it stoppedworking…. when I took it apart the connection at the bottom has been removed and two wires soldered in place but it’s so small I can’t do it again so I need a new motherboard

thanks

I am looking for the connetor at step 10. The top of the connector is broken (fail quality assurence). I am not interrested to purchase a new controler at 200$ because of a 2 cents connector.

Thank you

Another broken step 10 conector here

Nicolás Victorero Mier - 답글

Hello.

Where can I find motherboard repair instructions? First the tracking had dropouts, then the controller completely and permanently lost the pairing.

This is the second controller where this has happened.

That must be a lack of series. So someone has to know the reason. Has nobody really solved this problem with soldering iron etc.? Or do professionals keep the cause of the error secret (greed)?

Unfortunately there are only disassembly instructions on this website.

But no real repair instructions. Details of the real cause of the error.

Maybe it helps to bake the motherboard at a certain temperature?

Tobias Claren - 답글

yup. went to fix the thumb pad and while disassembling it was that part in step 10 that killed the board. cheap mirco connector, pulled the tape off and the %#*@ thing came with it… would suggest going to a computer repair shop and they can tin on the connector or wire around it.

adam seekell - 답글

There is no point to producing these guides explaining how to do the repair if no-one will tell us where they can buy the parts.
