Difficulty

Steps

Time Required

5 - 7 minutes

Introduction

The USB-C Plug connects the mobile phone to the GameSir X2 Type-C and is the only source of connection from the mobile phone to the controller. GameSir designed the USB-C plug to pivot 51 degrees to prevent damage to mobile phone charging ports while inserting and removing the device.

If your phone fails to connect to the Gamesir X2 Type-C, the USB-C plug may need replaced. Follow this guide to replace the plug. Before replacing the plug, review the troubleshooting page. More than likely a bad connection can be fixed without replacing the USB-C plug.

Remove the eight 6 mm T6 Torx screws.

Step 4

Remove the four 4.5 mm screws with a Phillips #000 screwdriver.
