I hope you like and find this tut useful. If you have any questions ask me!
I suggest that you find a xbox 360 that you dont care about to take apart so just in case something happens its not a big deal. Also this does void your warranty and iam not at fault if you mess up!

Tools needed
T8
T10
Small thin rod or small "minus head" screw driver
"plus headed" screw driver(If you want to take apart your dvd drive)


1st. Is to take everything off you xbox 360(Cables,wif fi adapter,ect.)

2nd. Take off your xbox 360 face plate

3rd. Take off the top grills on your xbox 360. To take them off(I start on the top 1st) Bend the front of it just so much then get a small rod or small screw driver and stick it in through the small air holes on the top/bottom xbox 360. Make sure to do it on both sides and both of them.

There will be 3 of them that you have to push on both sides and on top and bottom to get your gril plates off. Here are where they are.

11th. Flip you xbox 360 over and take out these screws.(You dont need to put these screws when you put back your xbox 360 together but you can if you want)In case you wondering if you took off the right screw. To the left of my t8 is how big the screw is that you need to take off the shell.

I didnt forget. there is faster way of taking them off. look at step 8 and its a link to another 7s tut that shows you how to take it off really fast. But if more people want to do it the other way Ill put that up there.
