pretty sure that holds the board in place, you dont need to unscrew it and you probably shouldnt

Passo 3

Carefully pry the bottom cover off.
Remove the shoulder buttons by pulling out the metal pegs that secure them to DS.
The triggers are held in by tiny metal pegs and springs. Keep track of each piece.

Passo 4

You can now access the micro-button component and replace or repair anything as needed.

Could someone run through or send a link explaining the disassembly of the micro-button?

This explains how to disassemble the system, but has nothing about actually replacing the shoulder buttons. I got this far and found the R button has a ribbon cable port directly on the other side of the board, so I hoped to find something in here showing how to remove the button properly before putting the replacement in.

It's weird - mine suddenly stopped working - opened it up, opened the button as shown here and found this thin blue residue under the button flex and on the contacts and nowhere else at all. cleaned it all off and it's working fine again.
