How to Take Out Screws from an Xbox 360 Controller

Microsoft's Xbox 360 gaming system features either wired or wireless controllers. The two types are basically identical, other than the connection method. If you wish to take apart your Xbox 360 controller to perform a modification or repair, you'll need to remove its screws. Once the screws are out, the bottom half of the controller comes right off.
