  • In this video I will fully disassemble a PlayStation4 DualShock4 Wireless Controller v2 (Model CUH-ZCT2E).
    I took some great closeups on the important steps so I can show you the process in detail. I also used different methods in some places. This way you will have a few alternatives depending on what works better for you.
    I will make a video where you can see how I am putting everything back together. So when it's ready, you will find it in my Gaming Playlist.

    Your video was a great help! I only needed to fix my right trigger, and your video was really specific with the disassembly instructions. I also managed to not break my side clips, so the controller is practically new 👍

    Hey great video! You helped me get the trigger buttons, (I was afraid they mite break) and then discovered the button encoder ribbon circuits went into them, so twice again thanks! If anyone's controller won't turn on but charges fine, check that ribbon I found a bad (corroded) circuit from a long ago spill. I replaced it, you can get one for under $5on ebay. it's not easy, but that was it, it works perfectly again

    You could order pry tools and start there. They are the differnt sizes and have a small part at the end to go down and catch then push the tab apart. The problem is the guitar pic isnt get down to separate the tab. . Never had an issue with a pry tool on a new one. Same pry tools id use to fix any playstation/computer/controller. Make make different size sets.

      The clippers are a bit tight and scary to unclip. Try the twist method. And the ones in the front need a bit of force to unlock. The side ones, I think they are designed to break when the case gets opened so don’t feel bad if yours break.

    Hey so I have the same tool set as you but different battery I have a 2000mh one with 2 connectors it’s compatible with chu 1 and chu 2 I’m using it for a pro controller. So I ended up breaking the led plastic thing. Only place I can order a replacement part is “eBay For PS4 Pro 5.0 Slim 4.0 Game Controller Housing Transparent Light Sheet Cover “ if you type that in eBay or google it’s that part, I can’t find any place else that sales it. Or a video how to install it. I’m upset I had that controller from 2016 when I bought my pro. So I don’t want it to go to waste I put it back together it works fine but I want to replace that part so it looks like new vs some loose plastic. Here are some
    Other key words to look it up.

Most challenging part is at two clips below PS button, if you opened this in first time, then the second time onwards its easy. so including this video its easily comes. guitar pick on that area wont work at all.
