    • Use your fingers to slide the battery cover down towards the strap end of the controller.

    • Remove the battery cover.

    • If you're taking the controller apart for repairs, remove the batteries in the controller.

    • Heat an iOpener and apply it to the bottom edge of the controller faceplate for a minute.

    Why is this step needed? Yes there is adhesive on it, but it isn't that bad.

    For anyone stumbling across this like me, I can agree with the others: it is almost definitely a nice to have I'm sure, but I was able to get in just fine using an opening pick and opening tool.

    • The controller faceplate is secured with adhesive and three friction pegs.

    • Press the edge of an opening tool into the seam between the controller faceplate and shell, near the Oculus button.

    • If you can’t get the opening tool into the seam, heat the area with an iOpener for a minute and try again.

    • Slide the opening tool to the base of the ring shell to loosen the adhesive.

    • Remove the controller faceplate.

    • The three friction pegs should hold the faceplate securely, so you don’t need to replace the adhesive during reassembly. Be sure to firmly press the faceplate onto the controller so that all friction pegs fully engage.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
