Firstly, remove the DVD eject button by inserting a small flat-head screwdriver in between the DVD drive and the eject buttons base. Casing Screws The top shell is attached to the chassis though the use of six T10 Torx screws. They are highlighted in red in the picture below. DVD Removal Once the six casing screws are removed, flip the console right side up and lift off the upper shell.
You should be careful with the DVD drive power cable as the connector is fragile and wires can be torn out, so grab all the black wires as close to the connector as possible, and forcefully wiggle the connector out.
At the front of the DVD drive there are two friction clips, which prevent movement and rattling. Also lift up the metal tape that holds the drive to the chassis.
Lift out the drive and place the friction clips on the duct tape roll. Motherboard Screws These screws are highlighted in green in the picture below. These connect different pieces of the motherboard to the chassis. They are about 1" long, bronze colored, and have a round top. Unscrew them all with your T10 Torx screwdriver and place them on the tape roll.
Heatsink Screws For these final eight screws, highlighted in blue, tilt the console to a vertical position. We do not want to remove the screws while the system is upside down, as the weight of the heatsinks on the final screws could have enough stress to crack some traces. With the console vertical, remove the final eight screws with your T8 and set the console right-side up. It is held in place by the fan housing itself.
Insert a flat-head screwdriver into its lock point and pull off the shroud, it will take some wiggling to remove. Remove the fan power cable from the motherboard. Finally, lift up on the metal tap above the fans, and pull the fan casing towards the front of the console. Lift it out and set it to the side. Wireless board The ring of light and wireless antenna is attached to this board on the front of the console.
There are three T8 screws, with one underneath the white diffusion clip. This clip disperses the light for players Pop off the bottom of the clip with a flat-head screwdriver, and the third screw will be revealed.
Place these screws on the duct tape roll. You can now pull the wireless board off of the console. If anything ever happens to your wireless board, a replacement or spare wireless board is exchangeable between Xbox s Unlike DVD drives which are ID'd to the motherboard. Motherboard It is time to remove the final piece. Grab the motherboard by the GPU heatsink short and wide and lift out the front first.
Remove out the entire board and you have access to the entire system. Can any1 help, my xbox original arcade has Rrod, an I got it working but keeps messing up,, would I have to replace x clamps, or heatsinks or something?
Hey, i have an xbox arcade and for some reason the tray doesn't open. Reply 6 years ago. I don't know if you have already heard or tried this, but simply giving a light knock on the top of the unit solves the problem on my xbox every time. It doesn't take much force, just a quick easy knock. Good luck. Reply 7 years ago on Introduction. I do know that i have that problem with my tray too. I was told not to use a butter knife because it could knock the rails off. Use a paper clip. It helps alot better and it doesnt have such brutal force where it could break it.
Im not sure how to do it internally though. Im not really a console guru. Okay so i just tried to turn on my xbox and it will load up only to the point of the start up screen. Sometimes it wont even get that far and the screen will just go black. My controller wont even connect enough for me to get to the guide settings. Ive tried multiple techniques from different forums and nothing has worked. Please help. It just freezes i guess. Hi My xbox has suddenly started to make a constant clicking noise when trying to load a disc, and now it's unable to read any discs.
Looking online people said that it is due to a dirty lens? I don't know how to clean it or how to disassemble it.. Hi QMD, I enjoyed the tutorial. Using the techniques described above, I'm trying to psyche myself into trying to sort out the problem. Can you point me in the right direction - I mean I still don't have a clear grasp of what the actual malfunction is?
Reply 10 years ago on Step 5. Greetings, you're now facing one of the most challenging questions that has been discussed for years on Xbox forums. The fix is to effectively re-melt the BGA so the balls flow back in to their normal spots. Now for the fix. The best solution, honestly, is to pay someone who owns a wave-reflow station to do it for you.
These repairmen can be found on the Scenyx forums. Watch out for Craigslist repairmen, most of them have absolutely no idea what they are doing, except the ones who own a reflow station.
If you don't feel like shipping away the box or having someone else repair it which again, I recommend as the best option , you can always try the semi-effective Llamma fix, which involves removing the X-Clamps and replacing them with screws, and overheating the GPU so that the BGA slightly melts properly.
There is an extreme amount of misinformation. Good Luck. I got a problem with a fan. The terminals that the fan attaches to are only putting out 1. Does anyone have any idea about whats going on here? Could this problem be caused by the external power supply? I would like to get a bit more information before carrying on so any help will be appreciated.
Reply 10 years ago on Introduction. I forgot to add on, the power supply has nothing to do with it. It delivers a few 12v lines to the motherboard, and everything sources and reduces from those. If the PSU was broken, nothing would work and you'd get a red instead of a green active or orange idle status light on the PSU. Try testing the fans first by just touching a positive wire to a 12v line. If they don't turn on, obtain new fans again, the Talismoon Whispers are recommended, but llamma would probably have stock fans for cheaper.
I have motherboard schematics for wiring in my Cold Cathode tutorial. There are 7 in all. One is hidden where the battery pack would be under a sticker. Now put all the screws somewhere safe so that they don't get lost. Put the AXYB buttons facing you and push the joysticks to separate the backplate. Now your controller is apart. You can paint or LED or mod from here. It's blinking an error code. Watch it carefully for a pattern, then look up wired Xbox controller error codes to determine the problem.
Yes No. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 2. I have different screws in my Xbox controller and I only have a small screwdriver - what do I do?
Take the controller to the hardware store and show it to an employee there. They can show you which screwdriver you need to buy. Your only other option is to try to borrow the correct screwdriver from a friend. Not Helpful 7 Helpful 2. Include your email address to get a message when this question is answered.
A good precaution is to do this on a white towel so nothing bounces off and you will see if a screw falls on the towel. Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0.
