    • Firmly grasp the fabric tab labeled "250 GB" attached to the hard drive.

    • Pull the hard drive straight out of the console.

    • The fabric tab is attached to a catch further inside the hard drive housing. It will take some force to pull the hard drive out.

    If i buy a new xbox 360 and replace the hardrive inside with my own, will i have my account and saves? or will i have to recover my account and start over?

    • Orient the Xbox 360 S so that the hard drive port is facing up and the faceplate is facing to the left.

    • Insert a metal spudger between the black bottom vent and the silver rim of the bottom bezel, in the rear right corner of the vent.

    • Rotate the spudger away from the console, prying the vent up from the bottom bezel.

    • Be sure to rotate the spudger far enough so that the clips on the vent are lifted past the silver rim of the bottom bezel.

    • Insert a metal spudger through the slit near the rear left corner of the bottom bezel.

    • Rotate the spudger away from the device while lifting the rear bezel up with the other hand.

    • You may hear a "pop" signifying the clip has cleared its catch.

    These are pretty awkward to remove, but once you understand how they work its easy enough. The goal here is to slot the spudger THROUGH the gap of the silver tabs (visible in previous steps image, circled) and then pry. Put pressure against the wall of the Xbox case and push downwards, once you feel the spudger slot in, then apply force away from the Xbox and pull up a little with your free hand.

    • Insert a metal spudger between the top vent and the top bezel near the rear of the Xbox.

    • Rotate the spudger away from the console, prying the edge of the fan vent up until the two plastic clips come free.

    • Be sure to rotate the spudger far enough so that the plastic clips clear the silver rim of the top bezel.

    Whoever gave that tool the name “spudger” needs to be shot in the face.

    As the user above me said, please avoid doing it like shown in the guide. It just didn’t work on my Xbox (unless your goal is to destroy the plastic case). Instead, pick some small needle like object (the spudger was too short for this, I used the SIM bit of my iFixit driver kit) and find the right spot on the big sticker which is on the left in the pictures shown in the guide. That spot is just between the text and the column of logos (Dolby Digital, etc.) (https://team-xecuter.com/slim/slim_secre..., picture not mine). Poke it (don’t be too gentle, you have to apply some force) and you will hear the clip release.

    On my disassembly during this part, I found the T9 Torx to be too big and had to use the T8 Torx instead.

    weitmeyerj -

    The correct size is T8!

    thomasforster -

    I guess you need to check for your own size : I used the TR9 as the TR8 was a little too loose.

    • The RF module is still connected to the Xbox by a large USB-type connector.

    • Pull the board directly away from the Xbox to remove it.

    This step is not needed.

    Wade -

    It may not be required but recommended. As you move the xbox around you could break this part. Removing it and placing it in a safe place keeps that from happening.

    junkyardjojo -

    Is the rf module married to the mother board? Im trying to replace the piece but dont want to start if it is not compatible.

    • Lift the optical drive out of the Xbox.

    Is there a specific Optical Drive that Microsoft uses in these or can I upgrade my drive?

    whitemare0 -

    i took my drive out but when installed my replacement it would not work

    davidgardner301 -

    WAS thinking of possibly trying to repair my son's Xbox 360S, by replacing the optical drive, but after looking at all the spudger steps to get to the drive and then your comment that the replacement might not actually work... forget about it! I ain't going to all that work for possibly nothing... t'ain't worth it!

    Anyone want a perfectly working Xbox 360S with a drive the spins game discs upon ejection? We've already bought a replacement, so this unit is for sale... name your price.

    Luposian -

    In regards to davidgardner301 comment there is a extra step they. Didn't show on this replacement guide in order for your new disk drive to work you will need to remove the origional board connected to thje origional drive that came with the system and soler that onto the new one its a tricky process however its a step most people over look

    Without the origional board the xbox will not accept the replacement drive only because each disk drive is coded to work with tat soecific xbox only so your out of luck if you already. Tossed out your old disk drive

    Eric Liu -

    So I installed the drive but the thing keeps reading the games as dvds, hence; wont play them, why?

    BigD29853 -

    The DVD drives are coded to the Motherboard. If you buy the same exact drive to replace the broken one. You will still need to either 1) transfer the DVD circuit board OR 2) get the Firmware from the old DVD drive using a PC and then transfer it to the New DVD. There are website regarding this procedure if you want to look it up.

    • Turn the console over so that the metal case is facing up.

    • Remove the single 11.3 mm gold T10 Torx screw from the hole marked "G."

    Could be preferable to do this step along with step #47 since the screws fasten the same plastic part.

  48. pJFQChmxmeqSlDbd
    • Lift the hard drive bracket out of the metal frame.

    I have a 4GB Xbox 360 slim and I bought a 500GB hard drive for it. I pushed the hard drive in its place and after I heard that click, I pushed it a little bit more to be shure that it's in place. I noticed that the hard drive bracket (the slide that holds the hard drive) it's elastic: after the hard drive is inserted, it wobbles (maybe to prevent hdd damage when the xbox is moved).

    My question is: how does the hard drive bracket work? is there a metal spring in its mechanism that allows it to wobble? Did I make any damage to it because I pushed the hard drive to be sure that it is in place? I don't want to teardwon my console to find that out.

    Thank you!

    • There are a total of 10 screws holding the logic board assembly to the metal case:

    • Five 11.3 mm silver T10 Torx screws, in the holes marked "M", "N", "P", "R", and "T".

    • Four 5.6 mm black T9 Torx screws in the holes marked "D", "E", "J", and "K".

    • A single 11.3 mm gold T10 Torx screw in the hole marked "A".

    Correct size for the orange screws is T8!

    thomasforster -

    I confirm what the user above me said, they were T8, at least on my Xbox.

    • Turn the logic board assembly over to access the heat sink's x-clamp.

    • To avoid ESD damage, be sure to lay your logic board on a soft, static free surface during service.

    • Starting at the front left corner of the x-clamp, insert a 1.5 mm flathead screwdriver between the heat sink's peg and the x-clamp's hook.

    • Gently rotate the screwdriver counterclockwise, releasing the x-clamp's hook from the peg.

    • The logic board is very sensitive to impact and scratching. Be sure to not let the screwdriver slip and damage the logic board.

    Uggghhhh, Microsoft is still using X-Clamps. Didn't they learn anything from the original 360?

    Chris Green -

    Hopefully having the smaller CPU and GPU on the same die, as well as an "improved fan cooling system" will keep those old issues from rearing their ugly heads. The Red Ring of Death technically doesn't exist anymore, either.

    David Hodson -

    I've been reading that people are ruining their boards on this step when they slip and the tool slices the main board while trying to remove the x-clamp. Use a metal spudger and slip it between the post and the x-clamp from ABOVE... not along the bottom where the board is. The whole clamp came off in 30 seconds and the spudger was nowhere near the pcb.

    • Before reinstallation, follow our thermal paste guide to replace the thermal compound between the heat sink and processor.

  59. TLWPKBDjdfvi4BRL
    • The logic board and its connectors remain.

    • When reinstalling a new board, remove the cables from this board and place them on the new board.

    When transferring cables from the old motherboard to the new one, please note that the two motherboard versions have different connectors for the hard drive power.

    The Revision B board has a 4pin connector located between the two SATA data ports whilst the revision A board has a 5pin connector located near the CPU fan power connector.

This guide wouldn't even work. DVD drives are linked to the motherboard. If someone were to follow this the end result would be an Xbox console that could only play DVDS games would show up as DVDs because of key mismatch.

What you mean “could only play DVDS games would show up as DVDs because of key mismatch “?

Whats the difference you mean about DVDS and DVDs?

Enio Freitas -

Yes, but this is a good guide for those that are installing new thermal paste on their boards and/or wanna gut their system for a thorough cleaning.

just wanted to say thank you although i only needed up to step 43 as i'm have issues with the dvd drive it seems it only wants to read if the drive case is open my my thought is the slider servo is about done for. the dvd was a bit of a bear to figure out for a few minutes but remove the foam then use a p42 driver on the screws underside then the top slides off the back and honestly i left the bottom on.i found step 29 to be a bit of a pain and almost decided to break that bugger of a clip off for future work but didn't, and to me it seemed that removing the screws in step 40 made steps 32 through 34 easier, i don't know take it for what it's worth also i found i could also skip step 35 and leave the front plate and the rf module connected which made working the unit while open/disassembled easier if you need to remove the rf module then you can move the front plate off to the side enough and remove the screws holding it, and beside i hate working with ribbon cable. all in all nice guide though THUMBS UP!

How do I swap a motherboard from a standard edition Xbox 360 Slim with a special edition like the R2-D2 Star wars edition? And keep the startup noise and lights.

Troy Cruikshank -

You can't keep the startup noise and lights, that's programmed onto the console. Your best bet is buying a new R2-D2 board.

In step 51, the four black screws are T8 like in step 36, not T9.
