How to disassemble and reassemble a xbox 360

I suggest that you find a xbox 360 that you dont care about to take apart so just in case something happens its not a big deal. Also this does void your warranty and iam not at fault if you mess up!

Tools needed
T8
T10
Small thin rod or small "minus head" screw driver
"plus headed" screw driver(If you want to take apart your dvd drive)


1st. Is to take everything off you xbox 360(Cables,wif fi adapter,ect.)

2nd. Take off your xbox 360 face plate 

3rd. Take off the top grills on your xbox 360. To take them off(I start on the top 1st) Bend the front of it just so much then get a small rod or small screw driver and stick it in through the small air holes on the top/bottom xbox 360. Make sure to do it on both sides and both of them. 

There will be 3 of them that you have to push on both sides and on top and bottom to get your gril plates off. Here are where they are.

4th. Do the same thing for the bottom

5th. Flip your xbox 360 up side down.

6th. Get a small "minus" head screw diver and put it under the hook and while pushing down slowly on it push up genitally up so that they can become un hooked.(Do that for all 3 of them)

7th. Push up on your xbox 360 to get all of the front hooks off.

8th. Read this to find out how to open up your xbox 360 really fast.(I suggest that you lay down your xbox 360 upside down to do this)Click me!!!!

9th. So after you do that you xbox 360 should have only the top case on it

10th. Take off the Dvd drive ejector button(just slowly snap it off)

11th. Flip you xbox 360 over and take out these screws.(You dont need to put these screws when you put back your xbox 360 together but you can if you want)In case you wondering if you took off the right screw. To the left of my t8 is how big the screw is that you need to take off the shell.

12th. Now take off the top shell of your xbox 360(To take off the little plastic part over your ROL board simply grab the top part of it and slowly snap it back and do the same for the bottom and its off.

13th. To take the ROL board off get your t8 and un screw the screws on it. Once you have it unscrewed simply grab it and slowly push it towards you to get it off the xbox 360.

14th. Now that you have the ROL board off take out the Dvd drive now. there are 2 cables in under the drive and to get to them simply lift up your xbox 360 and grab 1 cable and slow pull it off.
