Xbox One X Top Case

Step 1

Use blunt tweezers to peel off the sticker covering the right-side screw on the back of the console.
Before starting this guide: Turn off the device. Then, unplug any cables from the console.

Step 2

Use a T10 Torx screwdriver to remove the two 12.6 mm–long screws located on the back of the console.

Step 3

Rotate the console 90 degrees.
Pull the front of the upper plastic case horizontally toward the front of the console until it comes to a stop. This slides the clips out of the slots on the upper plastic case.

Step 4

Rotate the console 90 degrees so that the back is facing you.
Lift up the left side of the upper plastic case (as viewed from the back of the console), stopping when it won’t lift any further.

Step 5

While continuing to hold the left side of the upper plastic case, push up on the right side to move the right-side screw boss out of the way.
If pushing up on the case doesn't work, try moving it in different directions until it can swing open.
Swing the upper plastic case open to 75 degrees.
