30:30 epilogue
32:30 check working on XBOX - howto.
Tools: Hexagonal Star T6, and T8.
Plastic extractor, or its analogue.
Optional - tweezers.
Remember - disassembly is a break a guarantee. Not possible to remove the warranty sticker without damage, and then return it back.
Personal opinion about the quality of the series "elite" - so-so reliability. Classic gamepad, and "elite" is NOT different. "Series 1" inside the stuffing from a completely ordinary gamepad of mass series, up to absolutely standard analog joysticks, and penny buttons.
The attachment of the "frog" is bad. Steel levers very quickly squeeze the soft plastic of the case in small holes, and the buttons no more work. This problem can be fixed only by replacing the frame, it is 30-50 euros for three pieces of plastic.
The second series has other analog joysticks, "improved" - in fact old, with the same flimsy mechanics, but with "unique" threaded levers. Ten times more expensive, not a gram is not better, life is not longer.
Buy "Series 1" and at least you can repair them cheaply.
DON'T DISSASEMBLY IT "JUST FOR FUN"! The plastic casing is very soft and flimsy. Screws places are twisted are bursting. Replacing to the Chinese frame will result in lost a big money. Only bumper buttons is a cheap, price 2-6 euros. Handles cost 7-12 euros. Whole plastic frame will cost 60-85 euros.
Sticking joystick - only for replacement. Cleaning is useless. Washing with alcohol or "liquid for flushing variable resistors" never helped.
