Introduction

If you need to replace the joystick cover of your Turtle Beach Recon Cloud controller, follow this guide. You may need to replace a joystick cover if it is damaged or stuck and need to be cleaned.

Before you begin, power off and disconnect your controller from the charging cable.

What you need

Step 1 Back Casing

Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove 7 screws from the back casing.
The 2 inner screws are hidden under the Turtle Beach sticker.
The two screws at the bottom of the grips are countersunk, so you may need a 1/4" extender if your driver doesn’t fit.

Edit

Step 2

Use the iFixit opening tool to wedge it between the inner grip and the casing to pry it off.
Do the same to the other inner grip.
Do not take off the outer grips as they have wiring attached to them.

Edit

Step 3

Lift off the back casing.

Insert a spudger between the controller and the battery pack.
Use the spudger to loosen the battery from the motherboard.
Gently lift the battery pack until just out so as to not pull on the wire attached.

Edit

Step 5

Use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the battery connector to "walk" it out of its socket.
It may take a lot of alternating before the connector comes out.
If that doesn't work, use a pair of tweezers to firmly grip the sides of the connector and pull straight away from the socket. Hold the tweezers closer to the connector to get a better grip.
Don't pull on the wires as this can potentially damage the socket and device.

Step 6 Top Case

Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the four screws securing the board.

Edit

Step 7

Lift out the motherboard at an angle to detach it from the clips securing it to the case.
Don't lift the motherboard roughly or pull on it. There is a ribbon cable attached to the motherboard and front case.
Use a spudger or a clean fingernail to flip up the locking flap of the ZIF connector—this is the unlocked position.
Use tweezers or your fingers to gently pull the cable out of its socket.
