Changing your Xbox 360 controler's shell

[Tallow 1]

This is a pre-moded controller I did earlier, but I didn't want to do it to my other controllers. The tool I use to point with is made for the screws on the back of a 360 controller.
This is how you do it.

First un-screw all the screws.


2. Then take of the battery pack and poke through the Microsoft sticker to get the last screw. (Mine doesn't have it since I already modded it.) (Once the sticker is broken the controller is no longer under warranty if it was.)


3. Then just take the back off. (You may have to manover it some)


4. Now take out the chip and the rumble things. (Once again you may have to manover it some)


5. Now take off the rubber thing over the D-pad


6. Then unscrew it. (Philip) Then push on the little clips on it to push it out.


7. Now take off the other rubber thing and dump out the buttons.


8. To take off RT and LT look at this site (its a pain to do so I didn't do it)
Fantasy360 Install Pix - a photoset on Flickr

9. Here are the pieces you should have minus RT and LT. (Just don't lose any ok)



10. Now snap the D-pad on to the new shell (still the same one for me) and screw it in. Then put the rubber thing on.


11. Now put in the buttons.


12. Put the rubber thing on and you should get this.


13. Put the LB/RB thing on (I didn't tell you to take it off, because I didn't have to, but it can help.)(Watch the system set button. Make sure you can push it in before you screw the controller back together.)


14. Put the controller chip back ing and the rumble things in the places.




15. Put the back on.


16. Screw it in (Don't forget about the system set button)


17. Here is the finished product.


There you go. Visit that link for more help. Thank me if this helps. I'll sell this for $105 ($50 for the controller+$30 for having the plate sent to me+$5 for me putting it together+$20 because I need money) PM me if you want it. Hope this helps. (Sorry about bad quality images. You try holding the camera with one hand while working ont he controler.)
(The "Thank" button is a great thing to click)

Thanks alot dude! Just in time, my shell should be coming in tomorrow, and I had no clue how to install it!

[Tallow 1]

Well I really don't want to sell, but if someone wants to buy it for that much I'm ok with that, wouldn't you?

[yamban]

[LGC]

they are nice.

good tut, but 105$ is outrageous and i think i could get the same outcome with a can of black plastic spray paint
