Introduction

This Prerequisite-Only guide shows how to remove the front board from the 8BitDo SN30 Pro+

Tools

Step 1

Place the controller face down.
Remove the battery cover.
Remove rechargeable battery or AA batteries.

Step 2

Remove L2 and R2 trigger buttons by pushing them away from the grips.

Step 3

Use Tweezers to uncover two screws under the label in the battery compartment.
Use a T6 screwdriver to remove the four 7.3 mm screws securing the rear cover.

Step 4

At the end of each grip, pry apart the covers.
Use fingernail or opening pick to undo the two top clips.
One clip next to L button.
One clip next to R button
Undo the final clip between the joysticks.

Step 5

Carefully move the rear cover away and from the front cover. Place it to the left.
Do not completely separate. The two halves are still attached via a white ribbon cable.

I just used this guide to open a Pro2 controller, the only difference was the ribbon cable was between the analog sticks. Otherwise it went perfectly.

You have to be careful not to break the clip on the middle bottom (between the analog sticks)
