-
Slide the battery cover toward the top of the controller to remove it.
-
Lift up the batteries or the battery pack from the battery compartment.
-
-
-
Insert a plastic opening tool into the top seam, and gently work the opening tool to the bottom of the controller.
-
Continue using the opening tool to gently pry the side plate off of the controller.
-
Repeat this process for the second side plate.
Only use a pry tool! The vibration motor wires are exposed and directly accessible from the side when opening. I attempted to open it with a small knife, expecting to be able to gently pry the clips open, accidentally sliced through my right motor’s wires.

Not a sharp of course.
If you have some Guitar picks laying around they work GREAT!

Gently peel the battery label or punch a hole in the center of the sticker in the battery compartment to reveal the hidden screw.
-
Remove the five 9mm torx-9 security screws from the back of the controller.
Since mine is out of warranty I just broke out the security nib with a 2.0 standard bit. Then used a T8 torx.

Tape the Rumbler/shock motors in place.

This will prevent the motors from falling out.

Turn the controller face down and gently lift the rear plate.

Turn the device over and remove the directional pad by gently pulling it away from the controller.
It needs to be made a little clearer that the thin metal retaining ring needs to be unclipped before pulling on the D-pad. A small, flatbladed screwdriver did it nicely for me.

As mentioned above, clarification is needed that the metal ring is intended to lay on top of the DPad - you should remove it first when disassembling, and it should be installed after the DPad to hold the DPad down when re-assembling.
Additionally, the DPad is oriented so that the directional button without an extended tab on the end is on the bottom (down).

Pull the joysticks off of the controller.
Are the joystick potentiometers soldered to the mother board or just push fit, this guide doesn’t mention soldering so I’m assuming the latter?
Can you get genuine replacement joystick potentiometers as I’ve only seen cheap eBay type ones?
The actual joysticks themselves are soldered into the bottom motherboard.

Turn the device over and remove the two 7mm torx-6 screws in the bottom left and right corners.
What if you don’t care about the rumble motors (always turn that feature off anyway), can I just leave them unattached?

Firmly grasp the top and bottom motherboards in opposite hands, then gently pull them apart.
Soldering is not necessary for separation as on the top motherboard it uses a small connector commonly used in wireless assemblies for antennas. Simply pop it of using any prying tool or just your hand but make sure it is the side that has a gold or brassy finish and not a solder joint.
Hey Wyatt,
Thanks for the feedback. I was on the team that authored this guide. I did not work on this specific guide so I am not familiar with this specific connector. I will follow up with iFixIt and check this issue. Thanks for the comment!
Wyatt is correct that the black wire in the center can be removed from the top motherboard, but it doesn’t do any good to do so as there are two other sets of wires (grey and black twisted pairs leading to the left and right trigger) preventing you from removing the bottom motherboard entirely. These wires are visible in the pictures of this guide.
I accidentally broke the part where the black wire connects to. Do I need to buy the top motherboard to fix this problem?
What's is the name of the part for wireless on the controller
You'll see..
In my controller that black cable (the antenna like) was separated form the board is there any way to solder it again (the socket is still conected to plug)
I have the same problem. It popped off the board when firm pressure was applied to reconnect the wire after a repair. I'm going to attempt to apply a small bead of solder to the part that popped off, press it in place, and then heat the connector with my iron. But I am not hopeful at all. It's tight, really tight, and if it works it will be through luck alone.
Any luck? Theres no pad to get the solder to stick to on mine. Im assuming it is the j1 connection. Any idea what this wire is for?
Same issue here. I tried to unplug the antenna connector but the weak solder joints disconnected from the top motherboard instead. Looks like it has couple of bigger solder pads for ground/shielding(?) and one tiny pin in the middle for the actual antenna which can maybe still connect by pushing in place? Looks like a very difficult solder job as everything is so tiny.
Hi i destroy black wire connector on top board please help me.
It’s IPEX 4 connector, i've ordered bunch on chinese site and replaced mine. It was hard but doable.

mntlzr : Thanks a lot for the connector type. More specifically it seems to be IPEX 4 SMD female socket on the top motherboard.
Hi yellow tape on board what
How does the black wire reconnect? And is it necessary?
I just put my controller back together (I opened it just to clean all the buttons since my son spilled some juice on it) and it seems to work wirelessly (with a PC using the dongle that came with the controller) even having broken the small black antenna cable connector off from the top motherboard. Not sure what that cable is used for or is it just an additional antenna for better connectivity. At least my controller still seems to work fine wirelessly without that cable being connected even from several meters away from the computer.
Actually nvm. Now that I tried the controller for a second time on the next day it seems to disconnect all the time so wireless is not working properly. I’ll need to try to fix the antenna cable by soldering. Probably will order a replacement connector (IPEX 4 SMD female socket) and try to solder that on.
I think I broke off a little bit of the black antenna. In the zoomed in shot it showed a tiny little piece of wire soldered on the pad with Z2 above it but mine wasn’t stuck onto it. I see a little white (plastic I think) nub on the end of the wire. My controller’s bluetooth range now is only a foot. What do I do? Do I just replace the cable or can I melt away the plastic material and bridge it with solder?
1) TAKE HEED TO THESE WARNINGS AND BE VERY CAREFUL
2) Instead of separating the boards completely all you need is to get enough space to pull the part out.
*WHILE HOLDING WITH BOTH HANDS AS IF YOU WHERE PLAYING AND PUSH THE TOP BOARD FORWARD WITH YOUR THUMBS LIKE A DRAWER AND THEN LIFT UP!
IT WILL SEPARATE JUST ENOUGH TO DO WHAT YOU NEED. *THIS TAKES CARE, FINESSE, & SOME SKILL.
This entire step is asinine. 1: you don't need to completely separate the two boards in order to pull them as a single assembly from the controller. 2: Why the f would you try to get someone to do solder work just to clean up some buttons?
Just got done putting mine back together after cleaning("Y" was sticking). I was able to access all screws without completely desoldering, no broken wires. It wasn't even hard to do. As long as you don't try to force anything, it's easy.
This isn't the first iFixIt guide that has made me go "WTF? You're overcomplicating things!" either. It is a running issue with their guides.

Remove the audio port from the bottom mother board.
Can you just leave out the audio port and use the controller or u have to have a replacement to play
Why would you *need* the audio port? If you are happy to not use then fine, this is an instructional to get it working and by extension a headset one would assume.

This piece is just placed in there - sandwiched between the two motherboards. No adhesive, no mechanical attachment, nothing.
So can it be replaced or no? I took it out it dont look fried or anything but it still dont work when reinstalled

Remove the three 70mm torx-6 screws from the center of the bottom motherboard.
-
Remove the two 70mm torx-6 screws next to the rumble motors on the bottom motherboard.
-
Remove the one 70mm torx-6 screw located on the left side of the bottom motherboard.

Use a plastic spudger to lift the plastic clip off the front pegs.
-
Remove the plastic clip by sliding it upwards.
Reassembly: This hard is hard to mount. Slowly flip the controller upto view the charging port and notice it isn’t aligned yet… If you force it to outside of pcb, it’ll try to pop off. I’ve yet to figure this step out… I forced it and after full reassembly, the bumpers became REALLY stiff.
Solution: Instead remove the outside piece mentioned in image… then remove the bumpers… Check that all cavities are clear. Then make sure the sync button is inserted all the way in… Then place the left bump in the far left hole first. Then ensure the horn part slides into it’s specific slot inside, then ensure the the sync button goes in hole…then continue to right bumper side…. Then add the over cover piece above it… Start with the piece that goes over the charge port. Then the front as the above image shows… Now check your bumpers for easy clicking… If it’s still not correct, remove and try again gently as the horns may snap off and the PCB may get damaged.
Note: I believe the order is very important or the alignments on the left side may have the horn forced into one of the other close cavities and you won’t even know it. (This causes that horn to get damaged over time too. Without the horn, the bumper will drift and miss the button and bind up the trigger.)

Use a spudger to release the small hooks at each end of the left and right bumper.
-
After you release these hooks, be careful as you separate the face plate from the back of the controller. The connect/sync button (see second image) is held in by this face plate and will come loose as you perform this step.
Watch for the tiny button that sticks out from the top - it’s the wireless connect/sync button. It will fall out and is easy to lose. During reassembly, I found it easier to put the bumper back in first, then use a tweezers to insert the button back into place.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Just to clarify you don’t need to do any soldering. If you are careful enough with the top mobo and rumble motors the wires should stay connected and you can take out the bottom mobo fairly easily. I saw some youtube videos that imply that you do need to disconnect and solder them back. Not the case!
What is the wire that connects the two motherboards together with the copper adaptor for? When taking mine apart, the wire came loose from that tiny copper piece and is unrepairable. I think it's for the Bluetooth functionality. The wire used looks to have a very tiny wire inside itself surrounded with what looks to be ground wire. It's the black one in the middle.
It will clip back into place if you align it properly.its similar to the antenna clip of motherboard in a iPhone 4 you don’t need to solder it just lift and be careful when reattaching it don’t force it if it bends you are screwed. But when lined up right minimal pressure will snap back into place.
I’ve tried many different angles and pressures to get that thing back in, the pin doesn’t look bent but it just won’t go back in.
It looks like I'm not alone with broken RF connector case. Maybe someone had a success in repairing?
First need to find out the actual name of this connector type.
I think it's IPEX gen. 4 (MHF4), seems a fairly rare format.
IPEX gen. 1 (MHF) is much more widely spread, for example, in laptop network adapters, but it’s bigger.
Does anyone know if a motherboard from a different gen controller is compatible with the 1708 model or any at all? Like are they interchangeable or would i have to stick with that model specifically?
After replacing the mainboard the controller doesn’t turn on with batteries nor by USB. Any Idea what did I did wrong?
The antenna connector on the board purchased from here will not connect to the other board…
I just bought a replacement board and installed it with these instructions. I made sure not to let any connections become severed and put everything back together just like before. Every input was working properly, including the sync button (which triggered this replacement in the first place). However, for some unknown reason, the controller now drains one of every pair of batteries put into it in less than 12 hours. I opened it back up and saw nothing indicating a short circuit. What could be going wrong?
I have a 1708 controller in Fortnite purple. The view button is INOP. I’ve seen many forums where people have the same problem and it seems to be very common. Does anyone actually know the cause..? What’s required to fix it? Please help.
