    • Expel the remaining electricity by pushing and holding the home button down for several seconds once the battery has been removed.

    • This is done to ensure there are no electrical discharges during the teardown that could harm you or the components.

    • Removing the thumbsticks and D-pad will make the rest of the teardown smoother.

    • Using a soft pry tool, start from the top near the triggers and work your way down prying, and loosening the grips until they are removed.

    • Double-sided tape and snaps are used to attach this part to the rear housing case. Extra force is required to remove this part. Be cautious and work slowly as not to break any plastic snaps on the grips during removal.

    • You can take the time to clean the rear grips now or wait till the tear down is complete.

    • Remove the 4 T8 screws that were covered by the rear grips.

    • Remove the T8 screw behind the sticker in the battery compartment.

    • If you want to preserve the sticker carefully work the corner of the sticker free with the pry tool until it can be grabbed with you fingers, and work the the rest of the top of the sticker free and slowly peel it downward until the screw is exposed.

    • If done slowly and carefully, the sticker won't be deformed. Allowing it to be replaced by sliding a finger from the bottom part of the sticker still attached to the rear housing and moving upward during reassembly.

    • Wiggle the edges of the front housing shell to work it free. It will then come off with ease.
