Sorry to be vague, but you need to slip a flat knife or something similar down the side of it.

Again, sorry i cant tell you exactly where, but its better than nothing i guess?

There are 2 catches to release to get the SW cont off.  I cant explain without pics, but will try to talk you through it,

Reply #8 by VRStu, he describes the rear catch, the secret hole they talk of is to the right of the front screw, in fact right and down, stick a very thin screwdriver about 1.5" in and give it a wiggle and this should release the front catch, and the cont should drop away.

Yep that's the badboy that catches most people out.  There is also a very small Torx screw on the top right but I'm afraid I can't remember the size.

The second 'hidden' clip can be released by feeling from the back of the controller near the plug with your middle finger and you can push it to release it.
