Voiding your warranty:
This sticker is your warranty. If you cut, lift, or remove this sticker your console warranty will be void. This means
that you cannot return it to the store, or ask Microsoft for an exchange. To go any further, it is neccessary to remove or cut this sticker.
Removing the Case Bottom:
Turn the console so you're looking at the back side. Notice there are 2 small holes by the power supply plug, and another 5
on the other end. These holes are the locations of the tabs that hold the back of the case together.
Start on the end by the power supply plug. While pushing the top and bottom apart, push into the first hole. You have to push
fairly hard, but you will hear a click when it releases. Next, do the same with the second notch.
Once the tabs are released, it won't pop itself back together, so you can let go. Now you need to repeat the same procedure
on the other 5, starting at the one closest to the other end.
The center has a long tab which can be released just by pushing in on the bottom and lifting up on the top. The back edge of the
case should be open now, but don't pull it open too far.
Flip the console over, so you are looking at the front, with the bottom side up. The front edge is held together with 4 tabs,
these are easily released, and the bottom of the case will lift right off.
Removing the Case Top:
The top half of the case is held on by torx screws in the bottom. The internal parts are also held in place by these screws.
The screws circled in blue can be removed with a T10 driver. The screws circled in yellow can be removed with a T8 driver.
If you wish to only remove the case, then you only need to remove the screws marked with a red arrow. If you will need to take out the
motherboard, then you will need to remove all the screws.
Flip the console right side up again. Begin to lift the right edge of the case, but only an inch or so. Before lifting the case
off, you must pull the dvd ejectbutton outward, so the case can lift clear.
The top of the case should now be freed, and can be lifted off. There is some contact with metal shielding, but it does pull right off now.
Congratulations, you have the case off completely, and now have access to the internal parts!
