| Motherboard access disassembly steps | |
|---|---|
 |
Flip the Xbox over and gently pry the rubber feet with a stable hand or a spudger. Peel them back from the outer edge of the device just enough to expose the screw heads. |
 |
Peel back both the silver sticker and the white barcode sticker to reveal two additional screws. |
|
Use the TR20 Torx screwdriver to remove the four screws located under the rubber feet you just removed as well as the two screws from beneath the stickers removed in the previous step. |
 |
Once the bottom screws are removed, carefully turn the Xbox right-side-up and lift off the top shell. |
 |
Move the grey IDE ribbon cable out of the way in order to remove the three 3mm screws using the TR10 Torx screwdriver. They are located on the upper right corner, lower right, and lower left corners of disc drive.
There is an empty hole on the side of the disc drive's caddy. This hole is only used by an external screw and can be ignored until the final stages of reassembly. Be careful of the IDE cable. |
|
Unplug the molex cable and the IDE ribbon cable from the back of the hard drive. Lift the hard drive assembly out of the Xbox. It should come right out. |
 |
Unplug the IDE ribbon cable and yellow cables from back of disc drive. Lift the disc drive assembly out of the Xbox. It should come right out. |
 |
Unplug the large ATX power cable from the motherboard. It can be plugged in very tight, so it may take some effort to unplug it.
Make sure to press on the connector's retention clip. |
 |
Unplug the front panel connectors from the Xbox motherboard. |
|
Unplug the exhaust fan's cable from the Xbox motherboard. |
 |
Unscrew the eleven Torx T10 screws from the motherboard. |
 |
Remove the motherboard from the Xbox. As long as all of the screws are out and the fan is disconnected, it will lift out easily. |
