    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four 6.4 mm-long screws from the rear panel.

    A driver size recommendation would be nice. I tried several and found that a size 2.5 Phillips worked nicely

    • Four fragile plastic clips hold the panels together. You can see their locations more clearly in this guide.

    • The clips help hold the seams together. If you break these clips, the controller will still work.

    • Insert an opening tool into the crease where the front and rear panel meet, starting from the outside edge of either handle.

    • Gently pry the rear panel off of the front panel until they become partially separated.

    easy, but quite brute way of opening the rear panel without the opening tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYybiBBL...

    watch the opening from the back part only, then return here.

    That worked but a couple clips broke in the process. Beware for people trying this method.

    Bryan Remely -

    There are 4 tab clips total, 2 at the top corners (very easy to break) and 2 at the bottom near the ports. The screws will keep it together even if they do break but be careful if you don’t want to break them.

    I've written a guide to help others find the clips and unlatch them.

    • Lift the rear panel directly away from the controller.

    • Do not completely remove the rear panel. It is still attached to the controller by a ribbon cable.

    • Use your fingers to gently pull the ribbon cable straight out of its connector on the motherboard.

    • Since this cable's pull tab is too small to grab with fingers or tweezers, grab the cable itself. Otherwise utilize pull tabs whenever possible.

    • During reassembly, grab the ribbon cable by the blue tab and gently press the cable straight into the connector. Push the blue tab rather than the ribbon cable itself.

    I'm struggling getting the ribbon to connect back in. Why might that be?

    David Clair II -

    I too am having trouble putting the ribbon back in.

    The socket isn't symmetrical make sure you identify which side has teeth and insert the ribbon the right way round.

    • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the 6.4 mm-long screw securing the battery bracket.

    On my model (CUH-ZCT2E, I guess E for European), the screw secures the mainboard, not the battery bracket. The bracket is secured by 2 clips on the top left and top right. They can be pushed slightly one-by-one to remove the bracket.

    • Use a pair of tweezers to disconnect the touch panel ribbon cable.

    • Pull the ribbon cable directly away from its connector on the motherboard by the blue pull tab, not by the cable itself.

    • Separate the motherboard and midframe assembly from the front panel.

    If you’re having trouble separating those part, this might be because of the blue pull tab. Make sure the pull tab is pushed through the hole to free the motherboard and the midframe assembly from the front panel.

    Philippe Morin -

    So this is how you take it apart how do you get the tab back through the little hole that wasn't clear here

    • Slowly turn over the front panel to let the buttons fall out.

    • Only the front panel remains.

    • The round buttons have unique notches designed to prevent them from being installed incorrectly.

    • During reassembly, use your fingers or a pair of tweezers to drop the buttons into their respective holes on the front panel.

    • Align the button notches to ensure each one is fully inserted and in the correct location.
