Xbox 360 controller question

[coldasicedrummer]

Does anyone know what kind of tool you use to take the standard wireless controller apart? The screws in the controller look like they fit with a certain kind of screwdriver, but it doesn't quite work, so I was wondering if maybe there was some kind of specialized tool to use?

I assume the screws on yours are a hexagon shape, therefore you'd need a really small Allen wrench. You can pick it up at any home improvement place

An Allen wrench set

Yeah, you're going to need a small allen wrench. At least, that's what the screws on my controller have heads for.

I used a finger nail once to take out one of the screws. It was loose though.

Most likely you'll need an allen wrench along with a flathead screwdriver for lifting.

And make sure you get the hidden screw behind one of the stickers underneath. My dad and I took one apart to clean it out and if you miss it, you'll end up scratching your head as to why the bloody thing won't come apart.

I forgot where it was exactly, I think if you flipped it over it's toward the bottom with a recessed area covered by some sticker.

thanks a million, I knew it had to be something with a hole in it, but I had no idea what it would be.

Ya, that's it. Same tool to open up the xbox.

Try using a Lazer Beam.
