How to disassemble an XBox Console
Fig 1
Using a Torx 20 screwdriver, remove the 6 screws as indicated in Fig 1. Turn the XBox over and firmly pull the lid from the bottom of the case chassis. This will reveal the DVD ROM and Hard Disk as in Fig 2.
Fig 2
Remove the IDE and power cables from both the DVD ROM and Hard Disk. Then, using a Torx 10 screwdriver, remove the 3 screws as circled in Fig 3.
Fig 3
Remove Hard Disk by lifting it gently out of the XBox and do the same with the DVD ROM to reveal the XBox mainboard as in Fig 4.
Fig 4
If you wish, you can remove the mainboard from the case by removing the ten screws as indicated in Fig 4. This is not essential, but can be done if you wish, to prevent possible damage to the mainboard.
Fig 5
We now need to remove the front panel from the XBox. Place a medium sized, flat blade screwdriver, as indicated in Fig 5, and gently unclip both sides of the front panel.
Fig 6
With the front panel now removed, the On/Off/Eject PCB can be removed from the front panel by pushing the retaining clip in with a flat blade screwdriver, as in Fig 7.
