2014-01-13
all right today I'm going to show you how to take a part in xbox 360 to pop off the faceplate just kind of grip around the edges and just pry up and away there's a series of clasps underneath that are holding it down the side face plates have two little notches that you're going to slip some tools inside of could be a screwdriver it could be a pry tool and it just lifts the edge of the faceplate up so you can grab it once you have a little bit of it up there are there six clasp around the outside three on each side and what you want to look for is the two white holes that are filled in and press in between those two holes and that will release the clasp I'm using a pair of tweezers but you can use a toothpick or a needle and then you can see little grooves that are popping up and away on this side you can see it just a little bit better between the filled in holes that's where the little clasp resides I've gotten those three up now this other three on this side pressing the clasp in and then up pops the faceplate now the front of the Xbox has these little clasps they have to lift up just using my little pry tool to wedge them up and half of the plastic pops off flip it over and then there's a series of latches along the back of the xbox so you have to worry about so take your little tool that you've been using the whole time and press it into the little groove and that presses down a little tab which releases the plastic and you'll get a better view here in a second all you're pressing on is that little niblet on the end of the tab but you can see how the whole entire tab works as long as you're pressing it down it will release and now the bottom of the xbox will become loose and you'll see two giant X's how creative is that there are six screws holding down the bottom and they're super long so if you take out a screw and it's not super long put it back in or else your Xbox will fall apart now here is the eject button just pulls up and away from the Xbox and now we're pulling off the top plastic bit it was being held down by those six long screws and the front faceplate if the drive comes up and off and then the drive itself is held in by two cables if you're replacing your drive make sure you get the correct model number of it I believe there's five different manufacturers and if you buy the wrong drive then it will not work with your Xbox so make sure you get the right model number when you're purchasing that amazon has tries for pretty cheap I will link those in the video description below as the heatsink it is being held together by these eight screws along the bottom as well as the metal plate held down by the rest the screws I'm not going to take apart that you seen today just because you have to repay Stahn there to help the transmission of heat but I will show you how to remove the plastic shroud between the fan and the heatsink and then the fans themselves are just held in by two little clasps along the top and then they'll slide out the two little pen slots down at the bottom and then there's a wire connector powering them from the mainboard I'm going to wedge my tool down in on the little latch and then lift up the little plug with my other hand there's some pretty cool modded fans on Amazon that I'm going to link in the video description below you can check out they just shine with blue lights I believe there's any color green red so check those out if you're interested and that's it if you have any questions make sure to leave them in the comments below don't forget to like if this video helped in don't forget to subscribe I put a videos fairly often I'd love to see you around thanks for watching
