Introdução
Use this guide to replace the HTC Vive controller saucer panels. You will need to remove these panels before you can access any other components of the controller. Remove the top and bottom saucer panels gently. The plastic clips that hold the saucer panels on can break if handled too roughly.
O que você precisa
-
-
Turn over the Vive controller so that the bottom saucer is facing up.
-
Use the T5 Torx screwdriver to remove three black 21mm screws from the bottom saucer.
-
-
-
Use the nylon spudger to separate the top and bottom saucer covers all around the edges.
-
Remove only the top saucer cover by pulling up with your hand.
My top saucer was REALLY stubborn. Don’t force it with your hand, use the spudger to separate it at the seam. Try not to poke your spudger in too deep, there are internals just inside the seam.
The second time around, I learned why it was so stubborn. The picture suggests that you should start at the base of the saucer and work your way around, but that’s backwards.
Start separating with your spudger at the distal side of the saucer and work your way toward the handle. Then for the last part, pull the piece up and away, like peeling a banana. See the second picture for the bottom half of the saucer, below. Do the same on the top.

Use the Phillips 00 screwdriver to remove the three silver 12.8mm screws from the exposed upper sensor panel.
It’s Phillips 0, not 00.
You do not need to remove these screws to remove the bottom saucer. They provide stability to the two halves of the donut.
I had the same experience. Putting the screws back in made the bottom shell easier to remove.
I concur, you don’t need to remove these screws to take the bottom shell off.
I found mine had ph#000 screws size, not ph#00.
please do not remove the Phillips-head screws it is not necessary to remove them.

Carefully pull away the bottom saucer cover with your hand.
From what I can tell, there are two clicks on each side? one is quite easy, then the other one seems to require considerable force pushing down and on the side, I had to do it one side at a time and found two YouTube videos performing this step to use as reference. I have the vive pro wands and not the originals, so this may explain the difference. This felt very wrong to me.

The middle bottom screw may have some form of warranty sticker on it if you have a Vive Pro wand (which is purple). Mine had this. Easy enough to remove and get on with it.
