Einleitung

If using the Skycontroller 2 and you think the battery is not being charged or the controller is not receiving power, you might want to replace the power port. The power port supplies power to the battery in order to charge.

In order to replace the power port, first make sure the battery is disconnected and there is no power to the Skycontroller 2.

The power port will require soldering to remove, so check out our How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide to learn how to solder if you’re unfamiliar with the practice.

    • Flip the controller upside down.

    • Insert the plastic opening tool into the top of the battery cover and pry upwards to lift the cover.

    • Remove the cover by pulling up and out.

    I would make the second sentence a new bullet. Also, I think “battery cover” might be more appropriate in the first instance, then just use “cover” the second/third time.

    • Pull the connectors out by gently pushing the tabs and pulling up on the connector.

    • Disconnect the battery from the remote by pressing the white tab and pulling apart.

    Here, add a second bullet as well.

    • Remove the battery from it's brackets by pulling up gently on the ends of the battery.

    • Some force may be required to separate the battery from it's brackets.

    “its”—also, do they need to pull gently, or with some force?

    • Remove the seven black 11mm screws using the Torx TR6 screwdriver.

    • There is a hidden screw located behind the sticker in the battery compartment.

    • Pull back the sticker with your finger nail and remove the one black 11mm screw using the Torx TR6 screwdriver.

    Be sure to proofread, e.g., end punctuation, one black screws.

    • Remove the seven silver 4mm screws from around the edge of the top panel using the Torx TR6 Screwdriver.

    • Remove the battery compartment plate by pulling up and out.

    I think these steps are out of order—the battery cover is removed in the previous feedback already.

    • Be careful to not pull too hard on the cable.

    • Remove the face plate by pulling up and out.

    Do you have an additional shot to be more like a flipbook?

    • Make sure the controller is flat, then proceed to desolder the power port.

    • Desolder the four connection points surrounding the charging port.

    • Remove the power port from the controller.

    • For help with soldering best practices, check out our How to Solder and Desolder Connections guide.

    • Excessive heat can damage the power port, so do not apply the soldering iron to the component for too long.

    Here, use markup. Where are the four contact points? Combine de and soldered. There is also a “how to use a soldering iron” guide from iFixit you can link here or in the introduction.
