Here's a video about a Mavic controller tear down.
The poster removed the speaker and replaced with LED's. It's an interesting watch. Definitely not for a DIY unless you're good.

Here is a screen shot of the battery.
Probably the same as in the Spark.

Here is a video that shows the Spark controller getting opened for another reason... but might be useful:

thank you for the quick response and the video . looks like it's not as easy as anyone would think ( just to change a $5 battery ) . now that is a MP RC , the Spark RC has less parts and may be a little easier to dis assemble but i would have to think buying a new RC controller is the way to go . then after i received the new RC i would take it apart because if it's broke ( bad battery ) i got nothing to loose it's no good anyway or just for parts .
thank you
