Xbox One Wireless Controller Model 1708 Cover Plate Replacement
This guide will teach you how to remove the front cover plate from your Xbox One wireless controller. Initially, no screws will be visible. Follow the steps to locate each factory screw.
-
-
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.

If you have some Guitar picks laying around they work GREAT!

For some reason, the two closest hinges at the top of the two handle covers are extremely strong. I had to play around to get them off unlike several guides and video tutorials that, I don't know how, take them off without the slightest effort.

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.

-
Turn the controller face down and gently lift the rear plate.
-
-
-
Tape the Rumbler/shock motors in place.
-
This will prevent the motors from falling out.
if you replace thumbsticks only, this step is NOT required and it is safer not to remove bottom cover, removing faceplate is sufficient to replace thumbsticks

T9 is VERY snug. T8 would probably be better but I don’t have one to try.
T9 barely fits, I couldn’t even get 2 of the screws to turn. I think T8 works better

One frustrating thing. All the guides I find on iFixit never give tips on reassembly. I'm having a difficult time getting the back plate back on. No help here, unfortunately.
