This dude can unassembled and reassemble like Dr. Strange. Thank you for doing this! You crushed it!
I'm pretty sure Dr Strange doesn't do Xbox repairs, let alone, controllers
Thank you so much for doing a full year down and rebuild. My right bumper button just broke and I was able to replace it myself. Cost me $10 off Amazon and a little bit of patience. Saved me a total of like $160.
This is a better video from the other one I watched. I was having issues on how the sync button fit back into the groove until I watched this one.
Chris Glad it helped
Chris fucking same
AngelSix hi any chance you can help with my controller please
I love when people post these types of video's!
Now i know exactly what to expect IF i ever need to repair the Elite.
Great Job and thanks for taking the time to post this :)
Thanks and no problem
More like WHEN you need to repair it. ;-)
It's a pity that such a good controller is let down by cheap/low quality components & a couple of design flaws.
It is still my go to controller.
thank you, i bought an elite and not even 3 months later it had a slow dirft.
hello is it true that these xbox controls (the normal and the elite) break very easily, like the internal parts rb lb dpad broken buttons etc ... how long do your controls last.?
@@danielk9612 Mine lasted a year until the RB side broke off from the join that connects the two bumpers together, if the break is clean enough, you can just superglue it back and then continue.
Mine has analog drift, how can I stop that
I dropped my controller on hardwood floor with the hair triggers turned on, broke the extended piece of plastic attached to the trigger cradle. This video is going to help me replace the controller frame seeing nobody would honor the warranty. the seller advertised the 90 day warranty, which microsoft told me they can't honor it because it isn't an official microsoft retailer so now I have to do the controller repair myself, because I refuse to spend another 150 dollars on a controller that can break from a fall thats barely over a foot off the ground. YAY!
You should have dropped it with it's protective case on
Thanks for this video. You're a lifesaver ! I'm still using my elite series 1 controller in 2023 ! ❤
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for including the bit about putting the back back on and the 3.5mm jack, everyone else ive seen skipped over it - to anyone else having issues with it, you need more force than you think, but dont go too far with it
This helped me successfully put colored XYAB buttons into my Elite controller. Thank you so much!
hello is it true that these xbox controls (the normal and the elite) break very easily, like the internal parts rb lb dpad broken buttons etc ... how long do your controls last?
I literally had given up on putting the new bumpers on my controller until I saw your video, the way you showed how you aligned them solved my problem! Thank you!
Thanks man you really helped me out. Best disassembly vid out there!!
Great video, helped me clean my controller's buttons after a spill. I noticed while reassembling that its easier to put the circuit board in before the bumper bar. Also, I figured out the white tabs function is to give a mechanical brace behind the bumpers' triggers. They have a tight fit between the back of the bumper trigger and the black plastic of the controller. Ideally, first, you put the circuit board in, second, flip the controller over and squeeze those tabs in place and finally, fit the bumper into place.
Your video was very helpful. I had to fix a sticking paddle button and was able to do it in less than 15 minutes with the help of this video. For anyone having issues with the paddle buttons (little green ones on the back), open it up and make sure that the little black dot on the board is in the center of the little switch thingy for whatever button your having issues with. Mine was shifted to a corner so I just realigned it gently with a knife edge. My top right paddle button is wonderfully clicky again.
Cool glad I could help and glad you fixed your problem
Same issue happened with me, but it was my lower right paddle thanks for the help
The outer screws are 6 star SECURITY heads, but in your video you say that the screws are 5 star heads. Also, the set you linked is wrong, because they're not security screwdrivers and don't have a hole in the middle, so they're never gonna fit. Unless the picture is misleading but I doubt it
The Elite doesn't use security tips (unless they have added them back?). Only the standards do. However I will update the link to one containing the security tips
My controller has these screws. Very annoying.
They have security screws. You can snap off the little bits though easily enough
@@AngelSix You can get the T8 with the hole in
within the first 10 minutes you answered my question, but definitely saving this video for future reference. Nice job.
Perfect, glad I could help
Really great video. But a little tip… you can also take apart the controller without removing any cables. Just in case you are not familiar with soldering. ; ) The only downside is that you can´t get the bigger vibration motors through the plastic housing.
wtf i cant unscrew any of it, the screws have a little metal bit cockblocking my T8
Tyler Caswell yeah i literally am looking up vids trying to fix mine cause there’s something blocking it
Deeper might be T6
You need the special T8 with a hole in the driver
Security T8 bit on eBay for few quid
Just happened to me, I used a flat head screw driver to break them, then the t8 worked perfectly mate
Thank you for your time breaking this down for us! It was a lot of help and will be coming back to this for future problems with the elite controller.
This was fantastic, I have an elite controller for 2 years and the left joystick came loose. Thanks to your video I was able to open it up and recenter the joystick.
Thankyou again for a great video.
i have unresponsive paddles. how do i fix that when i take it apart
Most useful and well explained video for this I have seen. Major thanks for reassemble! I didn’t even have any leftover screws (common outcome for me).
No worries, glad I could help
This helped me tremendously! The only hiccup was reassembling the black ribbon wire. Obviously taking it off was easy but when I reassembled it, I thought it would fit more snug. I tried and tried to make it go in further. Then I looked at the other connection and that stuck out a bit. So I put it in as far as it would go... and it’s working perfectly. Thanks again!
Angelsix, very good tear down and rebuild video, had my elite over a year and just had to repair the left trigger and both stick covers. Your video was extremely helpful in aiding me to do it. Thanks for taking the time to do the job properly. 👍🏻🇬🇧
Straight fixed my bumpers dude thank u so much.
Replacing the bumpers on my elite controller and the additional circuit board black strip came out.. worried I'd ruined it and then found this video! Very in-depth and very useful. Thank you!
Cool, glad I could help
Been watching over and over until I finally went ahead to repair my broken inner frame. So I needed to disassemble that trigger metal with the springs. That's where you stopped unfortunately for me.
But I just cut the plastic from the old frame and removed the trigger piece that is holding the spring. Actually, it's very difficult to remove unless you are putting a new inner frame like I did.
Thanks a lot for the whole video. 🤝
I love how all the comments here are; Thankyou so much. Thankyou so much. You saved me from buying a new controller. This is an excellent video. Great all around video
This video helped me out a lot. I needed to replace my audio/mic port. I couldn't find a video on how to do so until I came across your video. Now my elite controller is fixed. Thank you for making this video!!
Awesome, glad I could help
you are a savior. The other guide didnt mention to pull up the black thingy with the ribbon flex cable. I was going insane.
NejdezTV thanks glad to help
Best xbox one elite controller tear down video yet! 👍👍
Thanks
This helped me in more than one way, was having problems when I bought it second hand, but it was a simple issue I could find and rectify while disassembling the controller. Thankyou.
Glad it helped!
Your video saved me so much time. Very elaborate. Very thorough. Thank you so much! Subscribed!
Your welcome and thanks for the sub
You're a god, Just ordered a new motherboard because my Micro USB port stopped working. This will help sooo much!
Thanks. Glad I could help
eBay
Late reply but, for anyone having trouble getting the back plate to line up at the bottom with the audio jack hole, I was able to snap it in place by holding the controller from the top, fingers down the back (partly holding the triggers down), and thumb over the front above the audio jack/chatpad port (I've don't have small hands). I then placed the bottom of the handles (below the rumblers) against my chest and pushed down HARD with my thumb. A loud pop signaled the jack was in place.
After that, the chatpad port wasn't lined up, so I installed the bottom 2 screws first and while trying to plug in the chatpad (careful with the pressure from the chatpad) I continued pushing the same spot as before for the audio jack while the controller was lying on a flat surface.
Now, this meant I wasn't able to plug the chatpad back in if I took it out, but it turned out I forgot about the annoying profile switch. After taking the face plate off (again!) the bottom snapped back in with no problems whatsoever and the chatpad can easily come and go whenever I want without disassembly. Not sure what I did to get this result though.
Hope this helps someone and great video! I had to get to the paddle buttons and wiggle/slide what looks like some very small black dot back over the center of the button to get the clicking noise for P1 (the button still registered but required a harder press than normal and no paddle movement or click). This dot seemed like it was under a sheet or something since I couldn't pick the thing up with the tweezers I was using (hence the wiggling/sliding).
Absolute legend.
Headphone jack loose when 3.5 mm is in. Headphones do not work or cut off when moved
Im having a interesting issue with my controller and im wondering if anyone can help. When I push in my left analog stick my right trigger activates. Once i have my controller opened up what should i be looking for? Im assuming its a magnet issue but im not sure which parts in specific i should be looking at.
That's one heavy ass controller
Ha sure is
So tacky for like £120 though. I took apart the ordinary controller and was amazed at how tacky it was. The headphone jack was playing up and took it apart only to find out the jack is just a surface mounted connection not physically soldered to the board. I ordered a new jack on amazon for £2.99 so I'm hoping it will be okay.
I had to replace bumpers.. couldnt remove motherboard.. was still able to pop off and safely put back with the motherboard still there.. thanks for the vid.. saved me from buying a 3rd controller
Glad to help
I literally jumped when he banged it on the table to get out the screw...haha
haha sorry about that. Disclaimer next time :)
Good resource with a wealth of tips and a very thorough procedure. Thanks for uploading.
Your welcome, glad it was useful :)
My bumpers aren’t as responsive after a year of having this controller, I replaced the actual bumper but still no luck, thus I assume it’s just the mid frame worn down where the bumper part clicks. Will be using this video when I replace the mid frame:) thank you
hello is it true that these xbox controls (the normal and the elite) break very easily, like the internal parts rb lb dpad broken buttons etc ... how long do your controls last?
Cant even get mine open
good stuff mane , just helped alot
Do you have to take out the circuit boards to replace the 3.5 mm headphone jack?
You have to take the first one out, but not the one thats attached to the front face
Just wanted to say thanks for the teardown... ive used your video to replace my bumper (1 month of ownership), fix some excessive play in the joystick (1.5 months of ownership), and to fix a non clicking paddle button (3 months of ownership).
+koov87 that's awesome glad it's been so useful
koov87 amen
Thanks for this video, it helped me fix my controller in 15 minutes. The only note I would make is that the bumper comes with the screw to open your controller (the little green plastic piece is not necessary to open the grips, you can use the screwdriver or the elite paddles to pry.. really anything small or flat).
Just wanted to give that heads up so people can save on purchasing the extra screwdrivers. Thanks again for the awesome video.
Anthony Serio thanks for the tip
Thank god you made this video! You have been a huge help! I had a thumb stick break on my gears Xbox one controller so I bought a regular Elite and wanted to swap all my gears parts etc and this video made it possible! Huge props bro
Awesome. Glad I could help
What kind of monster fingers you have?:D I thought I snap mine first before the controller. It turned out there was some goddamn glue.
Agreed. I used a plastic knife with mine.
Im trying to put mine together not and cant get the headphone jack into its hole, any help? series 1 btw
This helped me replace the motherboard with the broken micro usb port on my controller, many thanks and good video
llSmallCrimesll glad I could help
Many thanks! glad to know those random white rectangles are useless that's the only thing I was confused about great video by the way!
Thanks helped me much!!
One of my back little green buttons is stuck and doesn’t click anymore :(
Vertz same
Thanks so much. Just fixed my elite - paddle buttons had disconnected 👍

@@danielk9612 I've had my elite controller for around 2 years. Reason mine had an issue was because I replaced the top plate
@@GarethMorgans thx
how did u fix it
pls tell me how u fixed this
Video was very helpful, thanks! Didn't feel like soldering so I worked around that piece of the controller, it really wasn't that bad. Fixed sticky buttons and dpad, good as new!
Nick George glad it helped!
How the hell did you get the ribbon connecting the back to the front to go back in I've been trying for the past half hour
I'm having trouble with the headphone jack, is it just a bit of brute force needed to snap back in place?
First make sure everything is aligned correctly if you have opened it up and put it back together, then when fitting back it can be a hard fit to press everything back into place. However you could of misaligned something and so no amount of force would get it back into position. You can apply moderate force on the jack but nothing that would feel like you are having to push hard in any way, and if it doesn't go back in with that recheck your fitting
Thank you for this!!
No problem
I know I am abit behind but never wanted to mod my pad or change buttons your vid helped a lot so thank you
your welcome glad it did
7:22 R.I.P new controller
Brilliant, it gave me the confidence to open mine up for a bit of a button clean, maybe after another watch I might have be able to change the buttons from the subdued ones I don't like. Cheers!
No problem glad it was useful
Great clip much help. Thought I mention if forget to put bumper buttons on u can add them at the end. U said if u forget at the start u need to go back .
Sehr gutes Video hat mir sehr geholfen
ihr willkommen
A bit stuck with the 3.5mm aux, can u explain exactly how to do it?
To do what with it? Fit it back? It basically just sits in place and as the shell closes, the pins are springy so they contact under spring tension. It's best to drop the aux peice into the front shell first then fit the PCB over it.
they way you push the bumper out is risky cause it could break the plastic bridge that connects each bumper. it's easier if you you push down the main x button with your index and use your thumb to lift up from the bottom.
Amazing job. Thank you. Sincerely
Your welcome
This is an awesome vid man. Appreciate the time and effort but I have a question. The silver domes that hold the thumbsticks and slide down over the module's control arm have an asymmetrical. One side wall is flat and the other is rigged. The control arms show no indentations or grooves that suggest better stability based on how they're seated but do you know if it matters?
Are the screwdrivers linked security ones?
Thank you for this video. Unfortunately, I dropped my Elite controller and a little piece of the plastic from the left side of the analog stick mechanism broke away and became lodged in the bottom of the stick's movement area. Suddenly during a Strike in Destiny 2 I couldn't aim!! Anyway, I found you and learned how to get the front cover off, discovered the problem, put it back together, and away I go! The only thing that stymied me, was the tiny little security tabs in the screws. I was scratching my head until I got it under my magnifying lamp. Thanks again, AngelSix!
Bad timing there dude. Glad the video helped you though :)
AngelSix yeah, the dislodged piece didn't come into play until the day after dropping it, but yes, still bad timing. Once I found the problem I realized it was the dropping of the controller that caused it.
AngelSix Can you help me my elite controller analog stick is marking a weird cracking noise when moving downwards to the right
Without the white rubbers bumpers doesn't work so nice work -.-
Hello, first of thanks for this great video. I have a problem where the right half of my A button is rarely registered the left half works great. At first i thought there might be some dirty like suggested in the video or maybe a missallignment between the circuit board and the rubber but i could not detect anything. Is there any recommendation you can provide what i could check?
Don't know if you were aware, if someone has previously mentioned this below or if it even matters, but you put the bottom motors back onto that controller reversed of how they came out. Probably doesn't matter much 2 years later, but just thought I'd mention it.
Ha thanks for the catch I never noticed
My left trigger is always activated (about 20% - I can see that in the Xbox app), do you think it is fixable? :x
No just throw it in the bin
Thank you so much bro
Thanks for the video really helped me out
Your welcome
Great video! So why did you change channels?
Albedo Yuriev Thanks. The old channel had lots of old links and subscribers to my old company I sold. Now I'm doing more videos I wanted to start fresh to get new subscribers that are interested in the new videos I make not the old stuff
I rate this video a 8/10 on the educational side. 7,5/10 on the instructional side. Let me elaborate. You showed how to disassemble it and re-assemble it, BUT you could slow it down a bit. Most people use these guides while actually doing it. And i would have gone with a 90 degree angle torx tool instead to be more steady and for more leverage. A small magnetic stick would also be helpful since the screws are tiny. And slow down the pace a bit. Just some constructive feedback.
Jakob, Thanks for the feedback and it's noted for future videos. Hopefully it was still useful for you :)
It was. The plastic holding the RB and LB is fragile so i had to replace them.
Thinking about doing a custom paint on mine and I think I'll need to watch the video a couple more times for premium absorbment
Cool, share your finished results once you do it :)
Do NOT push in the audio port as demonstrated @48:52 - I just broke the metal tab inside. GREAT.
I got a loose bumper on my controller do you think that disassembling and just re assembling could solve the problem because I saw on your vid that is just plastic in that area no spring or other stuff? thanx great video and great manuality
Thank you
My elite controller is having weird power issues. plugging in usb doesn't work, unless I move the batteries around until it turns on. Then I can connect to xbox via usb. when I turn the controller off. It only turns back on again if I take one of the batteries out and put it back in. and sometimes even that doesn't work. When its on it works fine. Suggestions?
I can t get my audio jack to fit back in to place when re assembling the controller
It just sits in place. It could be some other part of the board is not fully sitting flat so looks like its the audio jack but could be something else. Double check all bits are sitting flat and level. Also the audio is pretty firm to get back in so needs a bit of a firm push to get locked in
Thank you so much
Your welcome
I’m having an issue where I press the top right back paddle button, it shuts off the controller. I have no idea why. I disassembled the controller the way did and now I’m gonna put it back together to see if anything changes.
Please let me know if you experienced this or if you have a solution
About the bumpers, I didn't get it. RB and LB were just one plastic part, in both the normal Xbox and the Elite 1 controller, that bends in the middle each time you press either button, so it was always a question of time until it will break.
Is this the case on the new Elite Controller 2 Series too? Still one plastic part?
Thank you for helping me sir
if that is not assembled correctly .. really great.
One of my green switched on the back is broke how do i fix it?
From the PCB board? It will need soldering back on or the PCB repairing. Contact contact@retrosix.co.uk with pictures and I can fix it for you
Very helpful, you saved my controller, thank you :D
What happens if you accidentally pulled the black wire connecting the paddles out without popping the side thing
When I put my controller back together I left our those 2 pieces you said weren’t needed. However my controller only stays on while the home button is pressed, when I release it the controller turns off. Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this?
Usually the connecting sockets between the two boards are not connected fully. It turns off if those two cannot communicate
AngelSix thank you I will look into this
Thank you so much for this video! It helped me fix a stuck trigger stop (the little green sliders on the back of the controller).
hello is it true that these xbox controls (the normal and the elite) break very easily, like the internal parts rb lb dpad broken buttons etc ... how long do your controls last?
Viddy Well, Little Brother, Viddy Well.
thanks
You really shouldn’t need to replace this part he says about the bar in the trigger. My plastic managed to snap inside of my controller.
I wandered if you had any idea on this? I replaced the circuit board with the usb connector on it and now the Home button doesn't work. Everything else works fine and the home button feels right but nothing happens. Any ideas ? Cheers
Do you happen to know if there is a way to replace the headphone jack? After market part and such.
Great video btw.
I don't know of any direct aftermarket one however your best bet to find one would be eBay for sure
AngelSix thanks, dude
omg thank you so much!
