Remove the ribbon cable coming from the gamepad connectors, again do not pull on the connector, the ribbon comes out of the connector, Remove the cable coming from the power supply, it just lifts up and out of the connector on the board.
Step 3: Removing the metal bracket: Remove the screws holding the bracket in place. Lift off the bracket, it may be snug, try lifting it at the back first and then popping it off.
Step 4: Removing the circuit board: Remove the screws along the top edge. The circuit board can now be lifted up and turned over.
