2013-11-22
so right here I have the brand new Xbox one controller we're going to be taking it apart today and seeing what's inside to start off there are these little ridges down along the bottom that you can pop off the plastic piece this is a series of little snaps that connect the plastic piece to the actual controller itself so you can see there's two up at the top three at the bottom and then two on the other side same thing with this one over here you have to be kind of aggressive with it but they are pretty sturdy then to get the four screws out from the controller you have to have that special bit that has a little hole in the center of it Microsoft use these special security screws to keep this thing shut and there's one more screw hidden underneath this plastic label underneath the battery cover so I'm going to pop that out as well and then that releases the front plate of the Xbox controller exposing the buttons and the vibrators beneath I'm also going to pop off the back plate where the batteries are held as you can see and then this is the whole controller nothing's really replaceable on it which is kind of disappointing I'm you can see the vibrators right here there are two different sizes I guess that gives kind of two different feels depending on what happens in the gameplay then you can kind of see that even cleaning out the buttons would be pretty difficult at this point there's not a whole lot of room to go off of and then so here's the vibrators like I mentioned before there's also two little hidden vibrating motors hidden up in the triggers which I thought was pretty interesting as you can see right here you can see that the bigger vibrating motors can actually pop out but they're not replaceable because they are soldered into the motherboard and now I'm just going to put on the back plastic again they can to line up the screw holes and the front plastic goes over the buttons again pressing that into place and then before I screw down the back plastic I'm making sure that these big trigger buttons are put underneath so they can keep on moving if you tighten it down while the chairs are on the outside then the triggers will be stuck in the out position even a screw tighten down into place and then getting those four screws making sure all the buttons still work they're not stuck at all getting those four screws put back into place and then the back plastics clicked in you can hear how they how solid they are the controller is by no means fragile you can get replacement controllers on Amazon I'll put a link in the description below usually they're pretty cheap if you have any questions make sure to leave them in the comments don't forget to like if this video helped the end don't forget to subscribe but a videos fairly often and also hit me up on Google+ and Twitter at Zach's jerry-rigged oopsy um thanks for watching you
