Replace Xbox 360 E Motherboard – Step-by-Step Guide

– Slide the Spudger into the little gap between the Xbox’s top panel and the bottom body where the rubber feet are. It’s like finding a secret passage!

– Now, gently pull back on the spudger like you’re operating a lever, while keeping it snugly pressed into that crevice. You’re doing great!

– Gently glide the spudger along the gap you’ve opened up between the grating panel and the bottom of your Xbox. You’re doing great!

– Every now and then, give the spudger a little tug like a lever, while keeping it snugly pressed into that crevice. Keep it up!

– Keep sliding that spudger along the edge of the Xbox like you’re a pro!

– Time to take that top panel off! You’re doing great.

– Insert the spudger into the gap between the right grated face and the top body of the Xbox – it’s a good idea to start away from the vent to make things easier.

– Now, gently pry up on the spudger, using it like a lever and keeping it firmly in place in the gap.

– Now it’s time to get this repair started! Carefully slide the spudger along the crevice to gently pry apart the grated face and the top body.

– Let’s give that bottom plate a little wiggle! Use your spudger to slide along the crevice and loosen it up.

– Keep sliding that spudger all the way around the perimeter of the bottom panel – you got this!

– Time to pop that bottom panel off! Go ahead and give it a gentle pull.

– Right next to the Xbox logo on your CD drive is the magic spot. Give it a gentle press, and the disk tray panel will pop right off. It’s like opening a treasure chest!

– Start on the left side, skipping the grate part. Glide the spudger along the gap until you hit the grated section, all while gently holding the piece you’re working on. You’ve got this!

– Keep holding that panel open! You can use a spudger to hold it open, or just use your hands. It’s all good.

– Now, rotate the Xbox a little to the left. See that clip holding the front panel in place? Use that spudger to gently pop it off. It might take a little wiggling, but you’ll get it. That’ll loosen up the front panel.

– Now, give that Xbox a little flip so you can see the other side. Keep those parts separated, we don’t want anything getting in the way!

– Alright, now find the other clip and use your spudger to pop it off. You got this!

– Keep gliding that spudger along the seam to pop free any stubborn clips that might still be hanging on.

– With the front panel now free from its clips, gently lift it off and say goodbye to that old cover!

– Locate the brown section where the ribbon cable connects to the green board. Gently lift the brown part and carefully pull out the plastic tab at the end of the ribbon. You’re doing great!

– Take a moment to admire your device’s body, and then spot the green panel just to the right of the CD drive—it’s time to give it some attention!

– Now, grab your T8 Torx screwdriver and tackle those two 6 mm screws hanging out at the top left and middle right. Twist them off with care!

– With the screws out of the way, gently grip the middle of the green board and give it a delicate pull to set it free. You’ve got this!

– Let’s get started by removing the 11 mm screw located to the left of the green wifi-card – simply use your trusty T9 Torx screw bit to get the job done.

– With a steady hand, grasp the vibrant green Wi-Fi card and gently pull it out of the Xbox. You’ve got this!

– Flip your Xbox over so the bottom side is up—look for those rubber feet! That’s how you know you’re on the right track.

– Gently lift the bottom part away from the core at a nice 45-degree angle. You got this!

– Flip that Xbox around so you’re looking at the back, like you’re about to give it a high five!

– Now, peel that sticker off the back. It’s like giving your Xbox a little makeover, but less glitter and more fixing!

– Give your Xbox a gentle nudge to the left to find the sneaky clip that’s keeping the body snug as a bug.

– Grab your trusty spudger and give that clip a little push upwards, just like opening a latch. Now, make your way to the other end and repeat the magic to free the second clip!

– Gently insert the spudger into the gap. Glide it along the vertical seam to pop off that last pesky clip. After that, the bottom part should come right off!

– Let’s get started by unscrewing those five long black screws, 55 mm in size, tagged as C2-5 and C7. Grab your trusty T9 Torx screwdriver and give it a go!

– Now, it’s time to flip the device with care! Gently lift from the metal part that connects to the plastic shell to remove the body. Easy peasy!

– Gently wiggle those fingers and unplug the blue ribbon cable from the CD drive. You’ve got this!

– Grab those tweezers and gently unplug the blue and pink wires. It’s a little dance, and you’ve got this!

– Let’s get this party started! Give the front end of the CD drive a little lift and slide it out. You got this!

– Alright, let’s get down to business! Grab your trusty T9 torx screwdriver and head to the bottom of your Xbox. It’s time to unscrew all those 11 mm screws labeled B1-7. You’ve got this!

– Oh, and don’t forget about that sneaky screw hiding on the side of the Xbox next to the power plug. It’s easy to miss, but we know you’re on top of it!

– Turn that Xbox upside down and gently remove the heat sink’s plastic shield. A little care goes a long way!

– Alright, let’s get those cables out of the way! Gently unplug the red cable, followed by the blue cable. Now, get a good grip on that hard drive assembly – grab it by the long plastic arm and lift it out, piece of cake!

– Now, flip that Xbox over to the back side. Grab your T10 Torx screwdriver and give those last four 6 mm screws a good twist. You’ll find them labelled A1-4.

– First things first, let’s flip that Xbox over and gently remove the metal and plastic insert from the top. You’ve got this!

– Now, as you lift the motherboard, glide over to the left side and keep that upward momentum going. Almost there!

– Once you’ve freed that side, go ahead and lift the rest of the motherboard away from the metal frame. You’re on a roll!
