Removing the Outer Shell

The first step is to remove the outer plastic shell that conceals the innards of the system. To do this, you must start by removing the face plate. Take a look at the front of the Xbox 360 and insert your thumb into the door that covers the two USB ports on the right of the unit. With your other hand squeezing the upper and lower sides of the face plate, pull out the face plate with your thumb. With not much force, the face plate should pop right off.

After the face plate has been pulled off you will see a silver Microsoft sticker covering a gap; remove this. You will also see four small clips locking the top half of the plastic shell to the bottom half. Do not attempt to wedge the clips out at this point.

With some care, gently bend outwards, the right gray ventilation shield on the right side of the unit so that you can see a bit inside. You will notice that the gray side piece attaches to both the bottom and top white chassis. Now look through the holes on top of the unit to locate the areas where the gray side pieces attaches to the white body. What you need to do is take the long but thin metal stick and push down, through the white holes (located on both the top and bottom of the Xbox 360) where the clips of the gray side pieces connect. Slowly pull out the gray pieces away from the unit while unlocking the clips and eventually the gray piece will release itself.

To remove the left gray piece, you must first remove the hard drive unit by pressing the button located on the unit itself. Then apply the same procedure used to remove the right gray ventilation piece -- except when you reach the bottom clip of the piece, you most remove the rubber feet located directly below, to reveal a hole where you can insert the metal stick.

Once you have both side gray pieces removed, you have essentially removed the main locking mechanism that holds the top and bottom shells together. At this point, return to the front of the unit and turn the entire unit upside down. Using a flat head screw driver or wedge, gently pry up the 4 clips holding the top shell to the bottom. Once the clips are unlatched, slowly lift up the front of the bottom shell about an inch.

The last step to removing the bottom shell cover is to insert a thin and small plastic stick into the thin rectangular holes on the rear. The reason the front of the bottom shell needs to be lifted is to prevent the rear latches from reattaching themselves. Slowly insert the stick into each rectangular opening. You should hear a click sound for each clamp you unlatch. Once complete, you may lift off the bottom shell covering.

Looking inside the unit, you will notice that there are 14 silver screws (6 of which are long) and 8 black screws. Using your torx screw drivers, remove the silver screws using a size T12 screw driver and the black ones using a size T7. Once you have all the screws removed, flip the Xbox 360 right side up and lift up the top plastic shell. You should now be greeted with the internals of the Xbox 360.

Disassembling the Internals of the Xbox 360

To continue further, you will need to first remove the DVD drive. Simply hold the drive and lift up. You will notice that the Xbox 360's DVD drive uses a Serial ATA interface which keeps things very tidy compared to the original Xbox. At this point, remove both the power supply cable and Serial ATA cable from the DVD drive and then from the motherboard.

The fan shroud can now be removed by simply twisting the cover until it pops off. The shroud is held in place by one clamp that attaches to the actual fans. Just be careful at this point not to break the clamp.

Next, remove the RF unit at the front of the Xbox 360 by removing the small black torx screws using a T6 screwdriver. Then you must remove the plastic cover on the front of the RF unit by unlatching the top and bottom of the plastic cover. Once you have done this, you will reveal the third screw holding the RF unit to the chassis. Remove the last screw and pull out the RF unit. Lastly, remove the power connections for the fans. You can now lift the motherboard out of the metal chassis.

As a reminder, the Xbox 360 is a delicate equipment and must be treated with care at all times. Ensure that you frequently ground yourself to discharge any build up static which can severely harm your Xbox 360.

 

 

Disassembling the Xbox 360 HDD unit

The Xbox 360's HDD unit only currently comes if you purchase the $399 Xbox 360 system. For those who purchase the core system, no hard drive is included. However, if you are interested in finding out just exactly what Microsoft has offered in terms of storage, the following are instructions on how to disassemble the Xbox 360's HDD module.

Start off by first removing the HDD unit from the Xbox 360 main console and lay it flat with the connector side facing upwards. You will see 3 screws. The 4th screw is located underneath the silver "Microsoft" sticker -- removing this sticker instantly voids your HDD unit's warranty.

 

Once you have removed all 4 screws, lift up the plastic cover while being careful that it is latched onto the button-release end of the unit. You'll want to be careful as not to pop the spring loaded button and lose the tiny spring.

 

Once open, you will see the 2.5" Serial ATA notebook hard drive encased in a metal shell. Lift off the cover of the protective shell by first removing the four black screws holding it down. To proceed further you will need to have a thin knife. The metal casing is attached to the plastic shell by a very strong adhesive, and to remove the actual hard drive from the housing, you must first pry off the plastic shell from the metallic HD casing. Simply insert a thin knife and slowly "saw" away at the adhesive. Shortly after you will be left with the following:

 

Once this is done, you can simply remove the attached Serial ATA data cable from the HD and slide out the drive.

 

 

Microsoft previously used a regular 3.5 inch desktop drive in the old Xbox but this time has chosen a smaller unit that is separate from the main console. We're quite certain that this move allows them to offer upgrades for those who want to add more storage capacity to their systems as upgrades become available. Currently, the HDD that ships with the Xbox 360 Premium package is a 20GB drive running at 5400RPM. The drive is manufactured by Samsung although it isn't listed on their website as it is an OEM drive for the Xbox 360. The drive itself uses a standard Serial ATA connector (both data cable and power cable) so attaching other drives or the Xbox 360 drive to a computer for data transfer is very possible.

At this point you can put everything back together again in pretty much reverse order. The summary of steps is as follows.

1. Place heat sinks back on processors.

2. Insert circuit board back into case.

3. Reinsert the fans, ensuring to plug in the fans' power connection.

4. Insert the RF Module/front circuit board.

5. Screw in front three black screws.

6. Attach white plastic covering over power button on RF module board, paying attention to the direction arrows on the piece.

7. Flip Xbox over and insert all small screws. Start in center with small black screws, work out to small silver screws.

8. Install white airflow guide.

9. Connect and install the DVD drive, making sure support holes line up on circuit board and paying care to not break the DVD drive eject button assembly.

10. Place top on Xbox, flip it over, and insert the long black screws.

11. Install the DVD drive button assembly.

12. Place the bottom on the Xbox and snap it in to place.

13. Next put the grey side pieces back where they belong.

14. Finally, reattach the front faceplate.

15. All done... now test! And yes, mine does work with it back together again (and I took it apart about five times in under and hour)!

Needed: Security Torx T8 driver*

*You don't need a security torx driver. If you are a bit, uh, daring (i.e. destructive), you can break the pin in the center out of the screw and turn it into a regular torx screw. The choice is yours.

The wireless controller is an "optional" must for the Xbox 360. Gone are the days where you have to deal with wires and the limits that come with them. Given the added features of the controller, we decided to purchase one and take it apart for your enjoyment in addition to the core system.

1. Remove battery case.

2. Locate and remove all seven torx screws as per Figure 14.

 

Figure 14 Location of screws for wireless controller

3. Flip the controller over on its top and lift the bottom of the controller from the top. This will keep all the buttons/plastic pieces in place.

Note: The FCC ID is listed at the indicated location. Eventually this ID will be listed at the FCC's website where you will be able to look up manufacturer specs on this controller that are required by the FCC in order to allow production/release.

4. Snap off the grey plastic piece as indicated on Figure 15.

5. Lift the circuit board slowly paying close attention to the battery springs.

6. Disconnect the rumble motors (be careful as these connectors are that strong and might pull out).

7. Locate the silver processor cover and pry the catches carefully to lift the cover off. Figure 16 provides a shot of what it looks like under that cover (minus a useless support guard we snipped out).

Processor Codes/RF Crystal/FCC ID:

Controller P1: Microsoft X801997003 2S0536RF

Controller P2: MS VM56RU 8019901

RF Crystal: CMT-GJAXN5

FCC ID: C3K-WKS368

Reassembly Instructions:

1. Replace silver cover. It easily snaps back into place.

2. Reconnect the rumble motors (for fun you could swap them?).

3. Flip controller circuit board over with joysticks on top and insert the battery springs into slots while pressing trigger buttons.

4. Place rumble motors in place.

5. Replace grey plastic separator piece.

6. Carefully flip the bottom of the controller over onto top and lay the rumble motors in their respective guides. Everything should fit snugly and smoothly with no force.

7. Reinsert screws and test it!

The Xbox 360 wireless controller is a wireless device that operates in the 2.4GHz range. This is interesting for a couple reasons. One, this particular wireless frequency is already very overloaded by phones, Bluetooth, wireless networks, and even your microwave. Two, the Xbox 360 also comes with a wireless network adapter to allow it to connect via a wireless link to your local network and on to the internet. Wouldn't it have been wiser to select something in the 5.8 GHz range, or even the 900 MHz range? Regardless, I decided to fire up my software based 802.11 wireless analyzer and take a sample of the airwaves while playing Need for Speed on my new Xbox. Figure 17 shows the results. The high level is reflective of the close proximity of the analyzer to the Xbox.

 

Figure 17 Wireless Spectrum Analyzer results of Xbox 360 Controller

Note the rather level spread across the entire 2.4GHz spectrum. This is similar to how Bluetooth operates, which helps it avoid interference problems with other 2.4GHz devices like an 802.11b wireless network. I suspect Microsoft is doing something similar here.
