If you’re having trouble opening your Xbox One controller, there may be a screwdriver you need to help. Here’s what to do if you can’t get it open:

  1. Make sure the controller is fully charged and plugged into the Xbox One.
  2. Remove any screws that may be holding the controller together. There are usually four screws on each side of the controller.
  3. Pry off the top cover of the controller by gently pushing down on one end and pulling it off of the device. Be careful not to damage any wires or connectors inside the controller.
  4. Look for a Phillips head screwdriver that is about 1 inch long and has a wide head (like those used for adjusting light bulbs). If you don’t have one, use a standard screwdriver with a flathead instead. Insert the screwdriver into one of the two holes near either end of the Phillips head (the ones without any screws in them). Turn it counterclockwise until it pops out, then repeat on the other side. ..
