Ok, since people have asked me how to open the Xbox 360 and im getting tired of that. I will show you how.
Warning: removing any stickers on the Xbox 360 console will void your warrantee. I am not responsible for anything you screw up. Continue at your own risk.
Tools
1. A flat head screw driver
2. T-10 and a T-8 screwdriver
3. Ice pick or something close
So then, we will start out with an Xbox 360 core. (There’s no difference between core and the standard, its just the HDD is missing)
Ok, now take off the faceplate, if you don’t know how to take this off then you probably shouldn\\’t be opening your 360.
Moving on. If you look at the side of your 360, you will see the side vents (all the little holes) if you look there are 5 V\\’s. In the middle of them are gray plastic pieces.
Use the ice pick or what ever to push the gray piece. You will need to do the same for both sides of the 360, and also you will need to remove the little gray feet.
Once you have pushed the gray pieces through the holes with the pick, remove the gray top and bottom vents.
Ok now flip the Xbox around and look at the back. You will need to push the \\"tabs\\" in with your flat head screwdriver.
Now flip the Xbox to the front. If you look there are 4 clips that you undo with your flat head screwdriver.
Now pull the top off, and you will see a lot of screws.
Now use your T-10 screwdriver on all of the SILVER screws. Do not unscrew the black screws. Those are only for taking off the Heatsinks.
The final step
Pull off the top.
To remove the DVD drive, just remove the cables from it and pull it out. There is a sticker on it you will have to cut. The fan duct just pulls out. If there is anything you want to see how to do, just ask me. –Boxmods360-
