    • Remove the two 6.4 mm-long screws that secure the D-Pad PCB inside the casing with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • There are two pairs of prongs that secure the D-Pad PCB to the housing. Use your fingernails to squeeze each set of prongs inward while gently prying the PCB away from the housing to disengage them.

    • Repeat the previous bullet for the remaining set of prongs.

    • Carefully pull the PCB away from the housing.

    • Take care not to strain the connected ribbon cables.

    • Remove the two 4.9 mm silver screws that secures the smaller PCB with a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • One of these two screws is behind a connector ribbon and the D-Pad PCB must be gently pulled to the side to access it.

    • Gently pull the smaller PCB away from the white plastic underneath it.

    • Remove the white plastic bracket from the casing.
