Step 1-Disassembling Xbox 360
Remove the Xbox 360 face plate by using your fingers and inserting them into the USB
door as shown on figure below.
This is what your Xbox 360 should look like after.

Step 2
Remove your hard drive on the side of the Xbox 360 by pressing on the release button
shown below.
Step 3
Removing grey side panels with a small pointy object (Paper Clip). Hard drive side first
shown in pictures but you can do either side first. The hard drive side is a little trickier
because 2 of the tabs are not accessible like the others.
Looking at you Xbox360 closely you will see the tabs carefully press down on the tabs
using a pointy object (paper clip).
By looking in the inside of these 2 access holes you will be able to see the tabs. Slip the
pointy object behind the tab and slight pry on the tab as you lift the panel up and
repeat on the other side.
The tabs access may vary from model to model. They might be accessible like the other
tabs if you’re lucky!
Next remove grey panel on opposite side using the same method as above by pressing
down on the tabs using a pointy object and lifting as the tabs release.

Step 4
Next you will need to remove the casing. The back of the Xbox 360 has 7 notches that
require the tip of a knife to release the tabs. The front has 4 tabs that can easily be
released with your fingers.
The figures below will show you where they are all located. Begin on one side and try
separating the case as tab is released, you will hear a loud click when they release and
continue down until they have all been released.
In the next figure we have provided a close up picture of the tabs.
After the tabs in the back have been release please do not pull completely apart as the
4 front tabs have to be released.
We will now move on to releasing the front tabs.
Once all the tabs have been release remove the bottom of your Xbox 360 flip the Xbox
360 on its top and remove the bottom portion by simply lifting on the case.

Step 5
Now that the bottom portion of your Xbox 360 has been removed you will need to
remove the eject button which is very simple. The eject button has to be removed
because it is fragile and it will break when taking the top portion off.
Note: The top portion will not come off without removing screws!
Below in this figure you will see how to remove the eject button.
Step 6
The top cover has screws that need to be removed before it will come off.
Below is a figure that shows you exactly which screws to remove with a T-10 Torx
screw driver (refer to tools needed). The red circles indicate long screws and green
short screws for future reference.
Tip: As you remove the screws place a mark where the small screws are located while
taking them out. It will make reassembly faster and easier.

In the figure below is what your Xbox 360 should look like after the lower and upper
portions of the case have been removed.
Step 7
You will then need to remove the DVD drive from the case. There are no bolts holding
the DVD drive in so just grab it and lift up as shown in the figure below. Disconnect the
two plugs in the back by just pulling them straight out.

Step 8
You will need to remove the fan shroud by using either a flat headed screw driver or
something flat and thin enough to fit in the slot.
Below is what your Xbox 360 should look like after the shroud has been removed. You
will need to remove the fans now by lifting on the metal to release the two tabs on top
of the fans. Disconnect the fan.
Step 9
Remove the plastic cover attached to the RF module, using your fingers simply lift. Un-
attach the top tab of the plastic cover and it will come right off.

Step 10
After removing the plastic cover from the RF module you will need to remove the RF
module itself. There are 3 Torx 8 screws holding it on to the Xbox 360.
After removing the Torx screws the RF module will still be attached. What you need to
do is grab the sides of the RF module and pull straight out.

Step 11
Now that your RF module is off you need to remove the last 8 Torx Screws from the
bottom of the case as shown in the figure below.
Step 12
Once the screws are out you will now be ready to remove the Xbox 360 mother board
from the case. Place the Xbox 360 in front of you. Holding on to the heat sink you want
to pull up making the front of the mother board come up first. Make sure to handle
with care. It should come right out. In the case it doesn’t come right out look around
to see if there is anything getting caught on something.

Step 13
This is what you should have in front of you after taking the mother board out of its
case.
Removing X-Clamps for Mod
Turn your Xbox 360 motherboard over revealing the 2 X-clamps holding your heat
sinks in place.
Please be very careful take your time and try not to damage the motherboard!
