Steps: 5 Steps

We all know how frustrating controller drag can be. But don’t worry, you’ve landed in the right spot for some expert guidance!

Step 1

– Time to get those cases out of the way! Let’s pop off the battery and side handle cases.

Step 2

– Time to get your tool on! Start by removing those five pesky TR8 Torx security screws. Remember, one sneaky little screw is hiding under the sticker in the battery compartment, while the other four are stationed on each handle. Let’s get this show on the road!

Step 3

– Let’s get started by removing the front case and taking off the joystick covers. Next, unscrew the two TR7 screws that hold the case in place. This will give you the access you need to move forward with the repair.

Step 4

Don’t worry! Just gently unclip the sides of that joystick and give it a quick clean. Get rid of any dust bunnies or debris that might be causing a ruckus in there.

Step 5

– To put everything back together, just follow these steps in reverse – easy peasy!

– If you didn’t quite get it done, no worries! You can always schedule a repair and let the pros handle it.

– You’re almost done – nice job! Now, go forth and enjoy your newly repaired device!

Success!

Now that you’ve put everything back together, you’re ready to rock and roll! If you hit any snags along the way or just need a little extra help, feel free to schedule a repair. You’ve got this!
