comments Whether you’re using a wireless controller or regular controller, you’ll need to either remove the battery pack or unplug it before you start the disassemble process.
OK, this little tutorial will properly teach you how to easily disassemble your Xbox 360 controller.
First, you’ll need a special little screwdriver, which is a size T8 torx screwdriver, you can find at any Home Depot or tool supply store.
To make things even faster, you can either pick up a drill size T8 bit or screwdriver size, however if you pick up a drill bit size T8, you can place it in your cordless drill or regular drill, and zip the screws right out in not time.
Make sure to remove the battery pack, there will be 7 screws that you’ll need to remove to properly take apart the Xbox 360 controller.
There will be one hidden screw located behind the bar code where you place the battery pack, the best way to remove it would be to just push the torx screwdriver in and easily remove it.
The other 6 screws are very easy to locate obviously because their visible.
Once you have all the screws removed make sure to either place them into a can, cup or I like to use masking tape and bunch them all into a piece of masking tape then label it. (That way I know you’re not going anywhere). Then, just pry the two sides of the Xbox 360 controller apart, if you have a hard time pulling the two sides apart, use a flat head screwdriver and slide in between each side little by little on each corner until you’ve got it apart.

Problems With Xbox 360 Controllers
The controllers that come with the Xbox 360 are usually efficient but they are not problem free. A controller that isn't working right will make it impossible to perform well in some games, and impossible to play others at all. Some of these problems can be solved with a simple battery change while others will need a little more work.
The wired Xbox 360 controller connects straight to the console via a USB cable. The cable is typically only around 6 feet long and can be inadvertently yanked out of the console if you're sitting too far away. If this happens a lot, use a USB extension cable that increases the cable length by several feet.
Flashing Lights
If the lights are flashing around the central button of your wireless Xbox 360 controller, it means your batteries are running low. Change the two AA batteries, which should result in around 40 hours of playing time. As an alternative, get a rechargeable Xbox 360 controller battery pack to place on your controller.
Syncing
If a wireless controller is not working on an Xbox 360 console, that means the two need to be properly synced. Hold down the central Xbox button until the four green lights go on, then turn on the console itself. Press the tiny sync button atop the Xbox 360 controller and the tiny sync button on the console next to the memory card slots. The controller should then sync to the console after a few seconds.
Syncing Issues
Syncing problems can develop if you have two Xbox 360 consoles within a hundred feet of each other. For example, you may try to sync a controller to an Xbox 360 console, but if it's already synced to another, it will simply turn the other console (the one it's already synced to) on. If this is the problem, unplug the Xbox 360 console that the controller is already synced to and sync the controller to the new console too.
Sticky Buttons
Sticky buttons occur when food particles or liquids get into the crevices of the buttons. Use a small Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws around the exterior. Lace a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and use it to clean the interior buttons. The buttons can also be removed completely and washed in mildsoap and water. When they have dried completely, put the controller back together the same way you took it apart.
