Before Proceeding These instructions are for the install of the Arsenal One 28 pin chip for the Xbox One. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION. This installation requires soldering to very small points, and is not recommended for anyone who does not have experience with soldering electronic devices.
Opening the Controller 1. Remove battery cover Using pry tool, lift an edge on the side panel just enough to get your finger or finger nail underneath. Once you have a good grip on the side panel, remove it by simply pulling it off. It may feel like it will break off, but it should come off after applying sufficient force.
