Difficulty

Steps

Time Required

Introduction

This guide covers the replacement of the WiFi Card on the Xbox One S All Digital Edition (Model 1681). The WiFi Card acts as a transmitter and receiver between the Xbox and the network it is hooked up to. Symptoms of a broken WiFi Card could be the Xbox’s inability to find or connect to any near-by networks. Disconnect all cables prior to disassembly.

Tools

Step 1

Position the iFixit Opening Tool's riveted edge in between the top and bottom cover of the plastic enclosure.
Apply downward pressure on the iFixit Opening Tool until the security clip unlocks.
Repeat on different points of the plastic enclosure until the bottom cover is removed.

Step 2

Remove the six 50 mm green screws (labeled F1-F6) from the metal chassis using a Torx 10 screwdriver.
These screws hold the top cover of the plastic enclosure to the chassis.

Step 3

Apply pressure to peel off the sides of the casing.
Separate the metal chassis from the top cover, lifting the back of the chassis up and away from the top cover.
The plastic back panel is meant to stay attached to the metal chassis.

Step 4

Flip the metal enclosure so that the fan cover is on top.

Step 5

Remove the three 15 mm screws with the Torx T8 Security Bit Screwdriver.
The top of the metal chassis has been removed in the picture, but is not necessary for the replacement.
