Introduction

This guide will show you how to access and replace the directional pad of your PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller. Built-up residue can cause complications with the directional pad. As this cannot always be cleaned away with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol, it may be necessary to disassemble the controller to either clean beneath the directional pad or change it entirely. Follow the steps provided to do so.
