Awesome.... people arguing over MY safety.... Thanks, you guys are awesome. Anyway, I'm not going to pierce my fingers while messing with the battery. It would have to be a pretty big cut if the battery needs enough blood flow to come in contact with...
I'll disconnect the battery for the simple fact that I don't want it accidentally turning on.. Then, I'll undo the rumble pack screws, and then the screw twords the bottom of the back in the middle of the two analog sticks, then carefully lift the rumble packs along with the touchpad/board to avoid breaking the wires....
then, I'll lift the front of the controller above me, so that the buttons don't fall out, push the rubber piece back into place with the d-pad so it stops clicking, and works ok, then put everything back the way I had it.... anything I'm forgetting?
I looked at someone do it once on youtube yesterday, seems simple enough.. I just have to be careful not to screw up the rumble wires like I did with my PS2 controller.
I'll add that I've never broken any of my genesis controllers by going inside them... 3 button, or 6 button.. I've even improved the performance of the controllers... PS2's the 1st controller I actually broke while going inside it...
