Introduction

This is a prerequisite-only guide! This guide is part of another procedure and is not meant to be used alone.

Use this guide to remove the mainboard assembly in your GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro.

    • Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the four 11 mm-long screws securing the back cover.

    Hi, do you know what size screw is used for the outer portion? mine is stripped and i need to buy a new one

    What you should use is a PH #0 Screwdriver, not a PH #00

    • The back cover of the GuliKit Kingkong 2 Pro is held in place by plastic clips.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap between the front assembly and the back cover at the bottom edge of the controller.

    • Tilt your opening pick downwards to widen the gap.

    • It's not mandatory to remove the two vibration motors to remove the mainboard assembly. However, other repairs become much easier with the motors removed. If you want to leave the motors in place, you can jump straight to step 9.

    • Pull on the connectors themselves and not the cables to avoid damaging them.

    • Use the point of a spudger to disconnect the right vibration motor by pushing the connector straight out of its socket.

    • If you can't disconnect the vibration motor with a spudger, use a pair of blunt nose tweezers to pull the connector out of its socket.

    • Remove the mainboard assembly by lifting it out of the controller housing.

    I highly recommend pulling off the joystick caps before removing this board, since the joysticky get caught on the other board. Alternatively, one can carefully slide back the mainboard, then unscrew and remove the triggers. Then the mainboard can be lifted up very easily. Accessing the trigger screws is a little tricky this way though.
