Use tweezers to peel off the two white screw covers located on the bottom corners of the back panel.

Step 2

Use a T8 Torx driver to remove the two 10 mm-long screws securing the back panel to the bottom panel.
Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from.

Step 3

Slide the bottom panel horizontally toward the back of the console until it comes to a stop.
This slides the clips out of the slots on the plastic case.
Lift straight up and remove the bottom panel from the plastic case.

Step 4

Use a T10 Torx driver to remove the seven 51 mm-long screws securing the chassis to the plastic case.

Step 5

With the bottom of the Xbox facing you, pull the two bottom-rear corners of the plastic case away from each other.
As you pull the corners apart, slide the back panel towards the bottom of the device. This releases the back panel from the plastic case.
The back panel should now settle on top of the clips on the back of the plastic case.
The back panel is permanently attached to the aluminum chassis.
Do not attempt to fully remove the chassis from the plastic case with this technique. You may risk breaking your case.

Step 6

Pull the bottom-left corner away from the chassis while swinging the chassis away from the plastic case.
You may need to lift the chassis to free it from the clips on the bottom-front of the plastic case during this process.
Remove the plastic case from the chassis.

Step 7

Use a T8 Torx driver to remove the three 9.5 mm-long screws securing the Wi-Fi board to the short edge of the chassis.

Step 8

Use a spudger to pry and loosen the Wi-Fi board.
Do not pry from the bottom or sides of the Wi-Fi board as it may bend the connector.
Pull the Wi-Fi board straight out to disconnect it from the chassis.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Take your e-waste to an R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler.
