Step 9

– Keep that panel nice and wide open! It’s a breeze if you use a spudger to gently keep it apart, but hey, your hands work too if you prefer a more hands-on approach.

– Swing the Xbox to the left and say hello to the clip that’s holding the front panel snug against the body. Slide your spudger into the little gap to pop that clip free. You might need to do a little wiggle dance with the spudger. Once it’s loose, the front panel will be much easier to handle!
