- Pry the front edge of the bottom vent away from the faceplate.
Step 3
- In the next few steps, you will use the tip of a spudger or the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to release the clips along the left and right sides of the bottom vent. Their locations are highlighted in red.
- You will insert the tool into the holes molded into the white plastic side case pieces.
Step 4

Step 5
- Repeat the same process to release the two center clips on the bottom vent.
Step 7
- Remove the bottom vent from the 360.
Step 8 — Faceplate
- Insert the edge of a spudger between the faceplate and the outer casing near the power button.
- Run your spudger along the edge of the faceplate to release the clips securing it to the front of the console.

- The top vent is secured to the console via clips. The first two clips are located underneath the top vent closest to the faceplate, as shown in the pictures.
Step 12
- Insert the flat end of a spudger into the small gaps previously mentioned to release the clips.
- You may also use the long finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to accomplish this task.
Step 13
- In the next few steps, you will use the tip of a spudger or the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to release the clips along the left and right sides of the top vent. Their locations are highlighted in red.
Step 14
- To release the clips, work from the middle of the top vent.
- While slightly lifting the front edge of the top vent, use the tip of a spudger to push the clips closest to the center of the top vent towards the inside of the console.
Step 15
- Use the tip of your spudger to release the clip on the top vent nearest the back of the Xbox's upper case.
Step 16

Step 17 — Lower Case
- To continue, you must peel the warranty sticker off the console. Be aware that this will void your console's warranty agreement with Microsoft. Proceed at your own risk.
- Carefully peel the warranty sticker off the console.
Step 18
- The upper and lower cases are attached via several latches, located in the front and back of the console. These latches must be disengaged to separate the upper case from the console.
- Use the flat end of a spudger to release the following latches:
- Above the front-facing USB ports.
- Beneath the front-facing USB ports.
- Above the Memory Unit slots.
Step 19
- Insert the flat end of a spudger and pry upwards to release the last remaining latch located above the eject button.
Step 20
- Slightly lift the front portion of the lower case to ensure that the latches in the front have been completely released.
Step 21
- The upper and lower cases are held together by seven release latches located on the back of the console. Their locations are highlighted in red.
Step 22
- If you do not have an Xbox 360 opening tool, skip to the next step.
- Press the Xbox 360 opening tool down into the clips securing the lower case to the upper case near the I/O ports.
- While pressing down on the tool, push the lower and upper cases apart to separate the retaining clips.
Step 23
- If you used an Xbox 360 opening tool on the previous step, skip this step.
- While pushing the upper and lower cases apart, insert the pointed end of a small metal spudger into the recesses located near the I/O ports and push downward to release each retaining clip.
- Work from the outer edge of the case inwards.
Step 24
- While pushing the upper and lower cases apart, use the tip of a spudger or the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to push the long clip highlighted in red toward the center of the 360.
- The clip should release, leaving the clips near the power connector as the only thing holding the upper and lower cases together.
Step 25
- If you do not have an Xbox 360 opening tool, skip to the next step.
- Press the Xbox 360 opening tool down into the two remaining clips near the power connector.
- Push the upper and lower cases apart to fully release the retaining clips.
Step 26
- If you used an Xbox 360 opening tool on the previous step, skip this step.
- Release the latches located above the power connector using the same procedure as previously noted.
Step 27
- Orient the console so that the front portion is facing downwards.
- Grasp the back portion of the lower case and lift it upwards to separate it from the console.
- Be careful not to excessively bend the lower case near the power plug, as it can crack easily.
Step 28 — Eject Button
- Use the tip of a spudger to release the clip securing the eject button to the metal casing.
- Insert the flat end of a spudger between the eject button and the optical drive.
- Pry the eject button off its retaining posts and remove it from the 360.
