Remove the Tumblers from the front face-plate.
Why shouldn't we disconnect the tumblers?
If there's an important reason to leave the tumblers attached for this repair, please explain it.
Do they actually need to stay on for this particular repair to work correctly? Or do you just feel that disconnecting them is an unnecessary extra step?
I've taken my controller apart before to replace the joysticks & paint the case.
I unplugged & replugged the tumblers with no problems. In fact, I found disconnecting them made the pcb much easier to handle without them attached & flopping around.
Plus it protects the wires from getting broken from unnecessary twisting & flopping while handling the pcb.
I have even seen controllers that the owner removed the tumblers entirely (to lighten the weight of the controller) & the controller was perfectly functional (sans vibration effect) without them.
So please explain why you’re saying “don't disconnect” them.

Here is where I got mine. Ebay India.
The first one took me 1 hour and half, the second one 20 minutes. Here are some comments.
- It was very hard to unsolder the defective USB plug. I had to use a high temperature on the solder iron, and pull the plug from the other side as I was alternating between the 4 pins.
- There are 4 pins but 5 holes on the board. Make sure to check what one is useless before unsoldering.
- It is best to dismount the controller face down and to keep it that way. The face plate has all the buttons and they will fall if you turn it upside up.
What happen if I disconnect the tumblers
Thank you for this explicitly post.
добрый день! могут ли значения конденсатора c3 и c6 этого контроллера? и ссылку, если это возможно.
Good day! Can the capacitor values C3 and C6 of this controller? And a link if possible.
i found it incredibly hard to remove the USB plug from it, especially because my controller (though the same Microsoft one) had a silver box soldered just below that point blocking off that side to solder with, i had to switch to my larger solder because the little one i use didn’t seem to get hot enough. spent nearly 2 hours tying to do this and plug it in and doesn’t work, think might have damaged to the PCB too much trying to remove the thing (its only a little singed) just gonna have to get a new controller instead it seems
Maybe i’m a little late but if you want to unplug that white plastic square you should heat the solder and use a solder sucker and then try to pull it from the other side
Do I need the USB replacement cable? Can I not just cut the end off a USB cable I have lying around and solder that to the board?
You can use any cable
Can I use a normal Xbox 360 controller cable for a windows 360 controller?
after replacement cable, my controller blinks three times and off… then not recognize on pc.. any solution?
Problem is what many of chineese cables have completely messed up wires, they different color from original and their position is completely messed up, that can cause many troubles when you will need 5,6 times solder to check which cables is correct and in what position on a board must be.
