Step 1
– Alright, let’s dive in with the console flipped so the bottom is looking up at you. Time to uncover some sneaky screws hiding under those white square stickers:
– – Three Phillips #000 screws, 5.1mm in size.
– – Two Tri-wing Y0 screws, 6.1mm each.
– – And one beefy Tri-wing Y1 screw, measuring 13.2mm.
Step 2
– Spin the console a cool 180 degrees so the exhaust vents are your new best friends.
– Take out those two 7.1mm Phillips #00 screws like a pro.
Step 3
– On the side opposite the exhaust vents, gently slide the cover faceplate towards the back of the console and lift it up to set it free. You’re doing great!
Step 4
