Missing Steps

Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If your PDP Rematch (model 500-134-1) top left and/or right button(s) take longer to pop back up after being pressed, use this guide to replace the buttons.
The top left and/or right button(s) interact with games. If the buttons are stuck, they will take longer to pop back up or may not pop back up at all.
Before beginning this guide, make sure to clean the buttons surface-level. Dirt and debris can usually be cleaned using alcohol wipes. You may press down on the buttons after a surface-level clean to confirm they still stick.
Step 5 requires you to solder the buttons have to the motherboard.
Before beginning this guide, disconnect the controller from any external power source.

Carefully move the picks along the controller's crease line until you hear a popping sound.

Gently lift off the faceplate by hand.
