Here is How You Open Up Your Xbox

First you will need to open up your xbox without cracking the cover. The thing to remember is when you do it right it just pops apart, never pry or you will be very disappointed with the results

First things first remove the faceplate. If you skip this step and go on to removing the top and bottom plates you will find they can be removed but you greatly increase the difficulty and chances of breaking the little tabs off the top and bottom plates. The easiest way to remove the face is to use the finger hole at the bottom of the console and simply pull forward.

Starting with the gray bottom vent plate, six tabs that hold it into place. You will find that all of them are accessible from the sides through the vent holes. Gently pull up on the plate and simultaneously release the clips by pushing in with the opening tool or other tool that fits through the hole.

Start at the front of the case and work your way back alter
