How Disassemble the Xbox 360 Case
Disassemble Time: 5 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Tools Required: Xecuter Unlock Tool & Torx 10 Screwdriver
(Included with the Blaster 360 package)
With two simple tools you are able to
disassemble the Xbox 360 case, removing the components from
the system without any damage. If you plan to take apart your
Xbox 360 -- and we must warn that doing so will probably void
your warranty.
1.The first step is to remove the front
face plate. Take a look at the front of the Xbox 360 and insert
your finger into the gap on the side cover that is closest
to the front USB ports [Pic 1a]. Gently pull out the
face plate with your thumb [Pic 1b]. With not much
force, the face plate should pop right off [Pic 1c].

2. You will notice that the gray ventilation
side plates attach to both the bottom and top white chassis.
We will now remove the gray side plate starting with the right
side of the unit (The side where the hard drive plugs into).
For this you will need the Xecuter Unlock Tool. First you
need to unlatch the two internal locks which is done quite
easily [Pic 2a] & [Pic 2b]

3. Here is a couple of pics showing the process of unlocking
the two internal latches [Pic 2c]. Note that when you
unlock the latch you should gently lift the gray panel [Pic
2d]
[Pic 2c]
[Pic 2d]
4. There are three latches down each side of the case. These
can be accessed through the round air vent holes. Use the
unlock tool to push in these latches. On each latch gently
lift the gray side panel so that the latches cannot fall back
into place [Pic 3a], [Pic 3b] & [Pic
3c].

5. Now turn the Xbox around as you will be doing the same
to the other side. To access the first hole to your left you
will need to remove a small gray rubber pad [Pic 3d].
[Pic 3d]
6. Now use the unlock tool again to push in two more latches
through the air vent holes. Remember to gently lift as you
go along [Pic 3e] & [Pic 3f].

7. Remove the gray side panel from the case [Pic 3g].

8. Now lets remove the gray panel on the other side of the
case. This one is a little more straight forward as there
are no internal latches to unclip. There are three latches
each side. Again use the unlock tool to access each latch
through the air vent holes. Make sure you gently lift the
gray side plate after unclipping each latch [Pic 4a],
[Pic 4b] & [Pic 4c]
[Pic 4a]
[Pic 4b]
[Pic 4c]
8. Now lets switch to the other side. Again there are three
latches to unclip. Remember to gently lift the panel so the
latches do not fall back into place [Pic 5a], [Pic
5b] & [Pic 5c]
[Pic 5a]
[Pic 5b]
[Pic 5c]
9. Once you have both side panels removed,
you have essentially removed the main locking mechanism that
holds the top and bottom shells together. At this point, return
to the front of the unit and turn the entire unit upside down
[Pic 6a]
[Pic 6a]
10. Using a flat head screw driver or
even your fingernail, gently pry up the 4 clips holding the
top shell to the bottom [Pic 7a]. Once the clips are
unlatched, slowly lift up the front of the bottom shell about
an inch or so [Pic 7b].
[Pic 7a]
[Pic 7b]
11. Now turn over the console to remove
the bottom shell. You will need the Unlocking Tool as there
are 5 small rectangle holes to the left of the case [Pic
8a] and 2 small rectangle holes to the right [Pic 8b].
[Pic 8a]
[Pic 8b]
12. There are 5 pins on one side of the
Unlock Tool [Pic 9a] and 2 pins on the other side [Pic
9b]. You will need to insert these pins into the small
rectangle holes to enable the case to unlatch. The reason
the front of the bottom shell needs to be lifted is to prevent
the rear latches from reattaching themselves.
[Pic 9a]
[Pic 9b]
13. Carefully insert the Unlock Tool
into the row of 5 [Pic 9c]. You should hear a click
sound for each clamp you unlatch. Once complete, lift up the
left side of the case [Pic 9d] then move over to the
row of 2 on the other side of the case.
[Pic 9c]
[Pic 9d]
14. Carefully insert the Unlock Tool
into the row of 2 [Pic 9e]. You should hear a click
sound for each clamp you unlatch.
[Pic 9e]
15. Once complete, lift up the entire
bottom section of the case [Pic 10a] & [Pic
10b].

[Pic 10b]
16. Looking down on the Xbox metal casing you will notice that there are a lot of screws.
We are only interested in 6 of them. Using your Torx 10 screw
driver, remove the silver screws [Pic 11a].
[Pic 11a]
17. Once you have all the screws removed,
flip the Xbox 360 right side up and lift up the top plastic
shell [Pic 12a] & [Pic 12b].
[Pic 12a]
[Pic 12b]
18. You should now be greeted with the
internals of the Xbox 360 [Pic 12c]. Congratulations
you are now ready to proceed with installing your Blaster360
!
