    If anyone is worried about doing this. I'm 14 and clumsy (and I know this is cliché) but if I can do it I'm sure you can. Just keep track of where you put stuff I recommend:
    - A PH00 Screwdriver
    - Tweezers (I didn't really need them)
    - A place to put the screws
    Go slow, this took me around 3 hours in one sitting. Good Luck.

    Ok one thing i found was you mention the gold side of the cord needs to be facing to the outside and the blue side faces the battery when putting the back panel back on. For me the blue had to face away in order to match up the circuit to the teeth. Otherwise the controller turns on but the light is off and it won’t charge.
