Introduction

If your GameSir Nova 2 Lite isn’t charging or won’t hold a charge, the battery may need to be replaced. This guide walks you through replacing a faulty or damaged battery.

This is a relatively easy repair, but if you discover a swollen battery after opening the controller, stop and follow the What to do with a swollen battery guide.

Before replacing the battery, check the GameSir Nova 2 Lite Not Charging troubleshooting page. One of the other solutions may resolve the issue without requiring a replacement.

Before you begin, power off the controller.

Before you take your controller apart make sure it is powered off by holding the power button down for 15 seconds until it stops blinking.
Use a Phillips #0 screwdriver to remove the four 8.5 mm screws from the bottom of the controller's casing.

Step 2

Insert an opening tool between the two halves to open the controller's casing.
You will feel several internal latches called “snap-fit connectors.”
Disconnect them by sliding the opening tool along the seam in the casing, applying continuous pressure.
Once you find a connector, apply increased pressure until you hear a snapping sound.
Repeat this process until all of the connectors are disconnected.
Separate the top and bottom of the controller case.

Step 3

Set aside the bottom half of the shell.
Position the controller so that the motherboard is visible.
Use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the battery connector to "walk" it out of its socket.
If that doesn't work, use a pair of tweezers to firmly grip the sides of the connector and pull straight away from the socket. Hold the tweezers closer to the connector to get a better grip.
