Introduction
You can access the motherboard with this guide if you need to replace it. You may need to change the motherboard when it's not being listed in consolle accessories or the controller is not syncing with the xbox.
For this guide, you will need a plastic opening tool, a Phillips #0 screwdriver, a TR6 Torx Security screwdriver, and ESD-safe blunt nose tweezers (optional).
You will not need to do any difficult steps, but be careful not to damage anything when you take off the top panel. Ensure the controller is not plugged into a power source or operating system.
