HP Windows Mixed Reality Controllers TPC-Q044 Trigger Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide goes over how to replace the controller's trigger button.

If your TPC-Q044 trigger button starts failing when using your controller, you may want to think about replacing the component. The failure may be a result of a loose spring or a broken latch. The replacement of the circuit board is not too complex. You will need the indicated screwdrivers and a spudger to complete this task. There are no warnings or potential hazards when replacing the pad.

      • Grasp the trigger with one hand while pushing against the outer wall of the shell.

      • Apply pressure, pulling the wall away from the trigger.

      • Remove the trigger starting from the freed edge.
