This video is still saving people's lives, nearly a decade later.
Thanks for the help!

Was away for few months, my 2 boys damaged the disc tray of our xbox 360 console as the tray was not moving. I simply used this video to strip the machine and then adjusted the disc tray. Everything now works perfectly. The boys were so happy and I felt like a super hero. Thanks a million for putting up this video.👍

2024, February. I finally got the guts to take apart the old xbox after 14 years of use and being passed from stepfather to child, then to step child after years of being forgotten. It even sat in a closet after the red ring of death reared its ugly head.

I got it working, barely. She struggled. But after buying tools and having too much free time, I decided to take it apart, and this video was my savior.

Thank you so much for making this. You gave me back my childhood❤

Edit: Just wanna add it feels SO WEIRD seeing it open like this

I just threw at out the window and it opened in 3 seconds

Thank you. Came back to this video 9 years later, still as perfect as ever.

I really want to thank this dude, you just saved me over two hundred dollars, it took me all afternoon but thanks to your guidance, I was able to take apart and resemble my console after retrieving the cd that was stuck inside, God bless you man.

This tutorial is by far the best one I have seen so far because
- View is clear.
- Camera focus is right where it needs to be.
- Simple and easy to follow instructions.
Thank you :)

Finally, I just needed to give it a good clean after 6 years. Mine has no problems, just dusty.

Thanks for this tutorial, I did it step by step, pausing the video between section, I actually fixed the power issue from another tutorial. Thanks again.

Thanks YouTube for recommending this, for those of us still living in 2005

Had to deep clean my Xbox (it's been ok the shelf for almost four years without being cleaned) so this really helped me get inside it to remove all the dust and gross that had started collecting. I actually managed to cheat and not remove those special screws and didn't use any tools besides a butter knife and a can of pressurized air. Anyways, this works fabulously and I was really able to understand what was going on (videos are WAY better than written instructions lol) Thanks for the help dude :D

My Xbox needed a clean, the fans were really dusty, and it hasn’t been cleaned in around 5 years. Thanks man, this made my Xbox a little less like a jet engine.

I know it’s been 11 years but thank you for this video. I fixed my fan in my Xbox 360 thanks to you.

I opened this with a knife because it’s three in the morning and I can’t go get tools. I cut myself. Not with the knife. But with the Xbox.

Thanks. You helped me get much closer to opening my disc tray box. Tore apart the xbox, unscrewed the disc box completely, found the yellow circled hole to poke a paper clip into and to my surprise there actually was a game left in it. Splinter Cell double agent. I'm gonna be so glad to play this again. Worth the hour of work.

You have a step backwards. You don't have to break the plastic removing the side. Pull upward on the inner plastic near where the second smaller hole is. As you rock it and apply pressure from closer to the center and not the sides, the clips will buckle. That curvature is enough to ride over the clips and the side bezel and matte inlay come together out as one piece.
Other than that, thanks

To save ur Warrenty its simple just use a hair dryer to heat it up till your sticker is soft/sticky on the bottom then peel it off slowly then once your done place it back and it looks as if it was never even touched. Just make sure not to over do it.

[ericmntana]

Thank you!!! You're the only person who actually says/tells/shows that there is a hidden clip for the top shell on the back behind the Xbox360 sticker, as well as how tf to get it to pop open.
