DIY Guide: Replace Back Panel on Xbox Series X Galaxy
Duration: 45 minutes
Steps: 7 Steps
Time to hit the off switch and unplug those pesky cables!
Ready to get your Xbox Series X (2TB Galaxy Black edition) back in action? This guide will walk you through the steps to remove or replace the back panel like a pro! But first, let’s make sure we’re on the same page—power down your console completely and unplug all those pesky cables. And don’t forget to keep it cool with some electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety tips as you dive in. Let’s do this!
Step 2
To make it super easy to peel, use an iOpener or hair dryer to warm up that sticker.
You only need to peel it back enough to get to the hidden screw. No need to rip the whole thing off.
Technically, these stickers are supposed to show if you’ve been messing around, but don’t sweat it—Salvation Repair totally understands. As long as you’re careful, you’re good to go! Let’s get this done.
– Grab a pair of blunt tweezers and gently lift that big sticker off the back panel to uncover the sneaky second screw hiding underneath!

Step 3
As you dive into this repair adventure, keep a close eye on each little screw! Make sure to remember exactly where each one belongs so your console stays in tip-top shape. You’ve got this!
– Grab your trusty T8 Torx driver and get ready to unscrew! Carefully take off those two 7.4 mm-long screws holding the back panel in place. You’ve got this!
Step 4
– Let’s get this party started! Insert the flat end of a spudger into the gap between the back panel and the shell. You’ll find this gap near the left side of the base.
– Now, it’s time to gently pry up the back panel. Think of it like you’re giving it a little hug, but with the spudger instead of your arms. This will release it from the locking clips.

Step 6
– Alright, grab that back panel by the opening you just made and give it a gentle lift. Just pull it up and away from the shell to release those long edges. Think of it like giving your device a little hug goodbye!
– When you’re putting everything back together, press along the edges of the back panel to make sure it clicks back into place. You want that snug fit to keep your device feeling secure and confident.
Step 7
The back panel snugly fits into a groove at the top of the shell.
– To put your device back together, simply follow these instructions in reverse order.
– Didn’t go as planned? No worries! Try some basic troubleshooting, or schedule a repair.
– Cancel: You didn’t finish the guide.
