Disassemble
the Xbox 360
Step 1..
Open the Faceplate.
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.
Prepare small
flat head screw driver.
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.
Red Color - Use small flat head screw driver to
push the clip.
Tada!

Step 2..
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.

Step 3..
Torx screw drivers in the following sizes: T6, T7 and T12.
The Bottom side.
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.
Viola!
