Slightly differing from the previous model, the faceplate needs to be removed before anything else. Begin by removing the joystick caps and d-pad cover.

Once these are removed, you'll need to begin working an opening tool along with the picks around the faceplate starting at the top-left or top right.

Slowly work around the faceplate to loosen the clips using primarily the plastic opening tools to prevent any damage to the faceplate & internal components.
