Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697 LT/RT Magnet Adjustment

Introduzione

If your Xbox One controller has LT/RT issues (or needs manual adjustment), the issue may be due to the magnets. Use this guide to take the controller apart and re-secure the magnets.

Guide warnings

  • TO AVOID MELTING THE PLASTIC FRAME WHEN INSTALLING HEATSHRINK TUBING, ADJUST THE LIGHTER/TORCH TO THE LOWEST RELIABLE IGNITION POINT.
    • If you use a butane torch, test the setting you are going to use on something you do not mind damaging BEFORE working on the controller. Use ABS to practice.
    • Holding the flame once the heatshrink seals may damage the controller frame.
  • This is a final solution. Be prepared to write the controller off if this does not fix the problem or makes it worse.
  • This fix is specific to Model 1537/1697 controllers.
  • This procedure WILL VOID ANY PRESENT WARRANTY. Make sure the warranty is expired if you care about preserving it!
    • My controller is 17 months old. It is long out of warranty.

Guide notes

  • This guide does not apply to Model 1708 controllers. The procedure to fix the problem is different as heat shrink tubing is not required. However, it can be used as a starting point.
  • If you misalign the magnets, you may need a controller frame. Use caution when applying glue. Use of an alignment mark is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    • EET owners: Your kit has this bit. No purchase needed.

    • Remove the batteries from your controller (if installed).

    • Remove the screw under the battery cover label. To do this, puncture the label where it is marked and use a TR8 driver or bit to remove the screw. TIP: This acrew us generally going to be found in the center of the label - feel around with your nail if need be to find it.

    • Author's note: I have no intention of retaking these photos as I do not have my 1697 anymore (and avoid them when possible). I can do this with one hand, but using a pry tool in the area marked in orange makes this easier.

    • With the screws removed from the back, flip the controller to the front. Remove the front plastic cover.

    • With the front plastic cover removed, remove the back shell. A plastic pry tool can be used if it is easier.

    • Remove the shell once the battery tabs are released.

    • Incorrect magnet alignment will result in LT/RT activation without human input.

    • After cutting the heatshrink tubing, do a test alignment before applying glue.

    • These controllers use double sided tape from the factory. Note the dimple side and clean the magnet and frame. Goo Gone can be used on difficult residue.

    • Once the parts are reasonably clean, do a test alignment and apply tape for final installation.

    • Soft flame lighters may melt the plastic. Blue flame lighters are generally safer for this!

Do you know any specs on the magnet itself? I have a controller that is missing a magnet, and can’t find any information on the strength of the magnet. Without that there’s no way to get a replacement.
