      • Unscrew the four 6.5mm screws, using a Phillips-Head screwdriver.

      • Pry the two halves of the shell apart using a plastic opening tool.

      • Be careful, as there will be a ribbon connecting the inner workings of the controller. It will not separate into two parts just by pulling apart the shell.

Can’t see an updated guide, and this one worked perfectly fine. Used to replace the buttons on a knock-off DualShock 4 from AliExpress. Construction was largely the same, only devoid of a screw anchoring the battery cradle. Would argue this was an extremely easy repair!
