Unplug outer case rumble motor connector from the motherboard with your fingers.
I agree. A circle over the plug would have been better as the picture looks like you just pull on the wires lol.

Thanks for the comment. I did get a set of tweezers and the negative cable broke anyway. They really could have done a better job at using a different connector for that.
Why in the world is this thing so tightly connected?
Thanks for the comment. I did get a set of tweezers to try to pull it out but still ended up breaking the negative cable. They really could have used a better set of cables and connectors for this.

Open the top and bottom clasp that connects the white flex cable to the motherboard with the tweezer.
-
Remove the white flex cable with the tweezers.
Attention! You have to flip up gently the small plastic cap on top of the ribbon connector. Do not try to slide the plastic cap horizontally. This method holds for all ribbon connectors.
Isn’t it WiFi?

With your fingers, lift and remove WiFi board.
These little boards (Bluetooth and NFC) have a small connector but also have double sided tape holding them down. So you may need to apply more force than expected to remove these due to the tape.
Isn’t it Wi-Fi?
-
-
-
Disconnect the black and white wires off of the back of the WiFi module.
One important thing to note here is how the black and white wires are routed to the board. You should take a picture since if you do not route these the same way, the wires can interfere with the button or get trapped when you assemble the case back possible blocking a screw hole.
Isn’t it Wi-Fi?
Any idea what the name of the white wire is? I accidentally broke through mine.. having trouble finding a replacement

Lift and remove the WiFi module.

Does it really matter?
Thanks a lot for the guide. I just fixed my gamepad and it appears to be working good. Just one question: why do you include the step in which you remove the flatflex cable to the other pcb? It seems unnecesary

With your fingers, unplug the left speaker cable from the motherboard.
Speakers are connected with solder so removing them is not possible without requiring soldering later on. I left them both connected and instead of removing the motherboard completely I just "hinged" it carefully down to facilitate the work following step 18.
Thank you for offering this info because I spent 20 minutes between scratching my head and searching for any alternatives to just the image above, which had a wire nut/housing (and mine certainly did not). As I began to have an anxiety attack (
Mine also did not have connectors for the speaker. But like mentioned above, I was able to do repair WITHOUT the need to unsolder the speaker wires. Thanks!

Remove the right speaker cable that's connected to the motherboard with the tweezers.
Note that on some units (presumably later ones), the speakers are soldered onto the motherboard.

Disconnect the analog connector with tweezers.
There was a little tab on the top of the male end of the connectors that I had to push to get them out.
Take a small flat head screw driver and push out and to the left on top of the white part of the connector. If you try to use tweezers on this model it will not come out.

-
-
Remove the blue connector using tweezers.
Looks like there are 2 of these connectors - left and right side
Lift the little gray tab before you pull the blue ribbon out.
-
-
-
Carefully lift the black clasp. It is prone to breaking if only lifted from one point. Remove the brown ribbon by using the tweezers.
The small connector is the digitizer (touch senor panel) - The large connector is the actual display
For the small connector, lift up the black part on top from this side.
I broke that small connector (the lid) how can I fix that? The flex is still goes there but I won't get touch response unless I apply some pressure to it!
if you fixed it, can you tell me how did you do it?

The small grey ribbon has a clasp holding it down. It needs to be opened in the opposite direction of the black clasp on the wide ribbon before you disconnect the ribbon.

Remove the small orange ribbon with the tweezers.
These tiny connectors are difficult to see how to manipulate. Similar to other ribbon connectors, there is a lever that flips up to release the ribbon cable. However, unlike the larger connectors, the lever flips up from the opposite side that the connector enters. Run your tweezers up the back side of the connector body, and the grey top should flip to vertical. Then the ribbon cable will slide out.

This small connector is attached to the screen as well.
What do I do if I broke off the gray top cover that went over the wire things.
You probably don’t need this anymore, but that happened to me a while ago and now i’m gonna have to buy a new motherboard. Your motherboard is as good as done for

Remove the remaining three 5.1 mm screws using the Phillips size #0 screwdriver.
-
Lift and remove the mother board.
There's a 4th 5.1mm screw along the bottom edge in the middle.
The speakers were soldered as mentioned above, so I carefully folded the motherboard down to facilitate work

How can i see what version off motherboard i need to buy to replace it
I got 30X52504 as number on the board
tried to unscrew the 10 Tri-Wing size Y1 screw with my iFixIt toolkit
unfortunately the tool is too “fat” and short, it cannot reach 4 screws on the corners of the gamepad.
having the iFixIt toolkit and needing to purchase an additional slim screwdriver it’s a shame…
