Test/Update Your PCB

Trigger Assembly

If you have a purple v3.2 PCB, you may ignore this warning/step.

We have found an issue where the trigger bracket interferes with the placement of the ribbon connector on the main PCB. Follow this step to fix this issue.

First, examine where the overlap occurs.

Next, note the trim location. You may use flush cutters or a file.

Finally, perform the file or trim so the bracket sits as shown.

Optional - Remove Trigger Flex PCB

If your trigger assembly already has a flex pcb in stalled, you may remove it as shown.

We can carefully pry up from this corner to get a good starting point to peel up the glued down PCB.

Carefully work your way around all the seams and crevices if you want to save the PCB for future use.

One, fully in-tact flex PCB! May you be as lucky as I was to get it off in a single piece. It is very fragile.

Install New Trigger PCB

The new flex PCB gets inserted as shown to the middle of the trigger frame.

Showing the middle area

The L/R pads get installed as shown around the plastic pegs.

Showing the L/R placement

The ZL/ZR pads get routed very carefully underneath this small plastic overhang. Take your time with this part.

ZL/ZR pad location

The ZL/ZR silicone membranes may be trimmed at this location, if you wish to retain the OEM membranes. If you are using transparent membranes you may skip this step. If you don’t care about the LED triggers you may also skip this step.

ZL/ZR membrane trim location

A fully trimmed membrane looks like the picture below.

ZL/ZR membrane fully trimmed

Install the silicone membranes for the triggers in their respective locations.

ZL/ZR membrane location

Here’s what it looks like when all membranes on the trigger assembly are installed.

All trigger membrane locations

Place the ZL/ZR buttons into their appropriate slots. Note the location where you will need to insert the steel pin.

Insert the steel pin as shown.

Steel pin insertion

Here’s the fully installed pin.

The L/R triggers clip in to these small latches.

The trigger assembly is complete. Place the whole assembly aside for now.

Front Shell Assembly

Locate and install the Home Button retainer piece.

Install all buttons as well as their respective silicone membranes.

For this install, we are adding our split dpad along with the original silicone membrane.

Buttons and split dpad installation

Here’s a checkpoint to make sure your installation matches ours so far.

All buttons/membranes installed

Examine Button PCB

Button PCB connector and component locations

Button Board Installation

Install the button PCB into the top shell.

Button board installed

Carefully examine the trigger assembly at the marked locations. The trigger flex PCB passes by these small holes. Screws will pass through this location. When you install the trigger assembly into the shell, be sure that the flex pcb is clear of this area.

Flex pcb woes

Here is the location where the holes line up. As long as the flex pcb is clear of these pegs, you will have a successful installation.

Peg location

Install the trigger assembly to the front shell as shown. Take your time, and make sure there is little resistance.

Trigger assembly installed

Install 4 screws as shown.

4 screws location

Insert the trigger PCB connector into the button board as shown. The black latch must be lifted up at this time.

FPC connector insertion

Gently close the latch with your finger. Do not use a tool as you may break the connector.

FPC latch closed

Repeat this step for the secondary connector.

Here’s the final top shell assembly

Lower Shell Assembly

Sync Button Assembly

Locate the three components as shown. This is the sync button, the charge lightpipe (unused), and the sync button retainer.

Lower left: sync button. Lower right: LED lightpipe. Upper: sync button retainer.

Install the sync button and lightpipe as shown into the lower shell.

Accessory installation location

Install the sync button retainer as shown.

Sync button retainer installation location

Install two screws as shown.

Wireless Kit Only - Battery PCB Installation

If you are installing our wireless variant kit, place the battery PCB into the lower shell as shown.

Battery PCB installed

Install the single T4 screw as shown.

Battery board screw location

Main Board Installation

Main board installed

Locate the player LED lightpipe. Install the lightpipe as shown below.

Light pipe location

The light pipe first drops into place as shown.

Light pipe dropped in

Finally, the entire piece shifts into place and locks in the piece.

Light pipe locked in

Install the single screw as shown.

Light pipe screw location

If you are using the wireless kit, at this point, install the battery to test that the board is receiving power.

Battery inserted

If the board is working correctly, it will begin flashing white.

Remove the battery once you have confirmed this.

Lights flashing white

If you are using rumble, connect the HD rumble motors now.

The connectors are oriented as shown.

Rumble connector orientation

Here’s what it looks like once it’s fully installed.

HD rumble connector fully inserted

Repeat for the other rumble actuator.

Secondary actuator location

Install the three screws as shown.

Main board screw locations

Install both joystick caps at this time.

Joystick caps installed

Connect Lower and Front Assemblies

Fold the included ribbon cable as shown. This is only a recommendation and you may fold the cable however works best for you. Just note that the cable, when fully installed, needs to be clear and not pinched by the shell.

Ribbon cable

Insert the ribbon cable, blue tab facing up, into the button PCB flex connector as shown. The latch must be up at this time.

Button board flex PCB.

Gently close the latch using your finger to avoid damaging the connector.

Button PCB latch closed

This is probably the most difficult part. We recommend using a pair of tweezers to hold the flex cable, and while holding the front shell assembly above the lower shell assembly, insert the other end of the ribbon cable into the main board connector.

A delicate task: installing the other end of the flex cable

As before, use your finger to close the flex cable latch.

Latch fully closed

Final test

Install the 5 screws as shown. Two of these screws are optional and not necessary. The iFixit screwdriver kit can’t reach those locations, and it’s okay to skip those.

Rear screws

Install the battery, then install the 4 screws at the shown locations.

Battery cover screw location

Install the two handle grips, then install the final 2 screws.
