My Xecuter tools are different in design (later version?) than the ones in the official tutorial. It actually was harder than I expected to get the case off as I wasnt sure how to use the tools.

Just buy the right tools. They cost pennies.
You open it with a screw driver and it'll **** the compression joints and make it harder the next time, until eventually, the lid will never close shut.

for all my 360's i use an emergency eject thing from a dvd drive, works a treat, no damage at all

**sick360mods** · 11th September 10

i use a flat head screw drive to get the faceplate of and to lift the stupid holders off and use a little screw drive to push the holder in to get of the gray thing then i just pull the case off. never snapped of the back pieces of while doing it. then i just us a torx 10 to get the metal piece off. done over 200 flashed without damaging any of the cases

xecuter, would you make a tutorial how to disassemble the xbox slim?

**ajax11124** · 12th December 10

I think this is a great idea for them to put one in the tutorials section, but there are already many great tutorial videos made. If you need one just go search "xbox slim disassembly" on youtube, you will find multiple videos that are accurate. I watched two that showed how to do this very well.

**stefanounick** · 12th December 10

yeah, i have seen them and i have no problem disassembling one xbox, but it would be great if xecuter made one :-P

followed this tutorial the first few times with the new tools from xecuter and i struggled with steps 7 to 9
and ended up in all sorts of problems, then i found a simple solution that has worked like a dream every time since! ive reversed the order of those steps, as in I split the back of the case first THEN the front, when i did the front first no mater how hard i tried with the tools pushed in the back would not split!
am i alone in doing it this way?? should the excelent guide be slightly changed?
thanks for the best xbox stuff on the net!

its all about personal preference. i do the back first but thats me, each to their own.

**stefanounick** · 9th January 11

Me too.. The back first..

I used this tute the other day when I did my first flash and it was invaluable. I found it real handy.

I was more scared about undoing the case than flashing the drive, but after 5 mins, my box was safely in pieces.
I didn't have the unlock tool, instead used a sturdy paperclip, but the guide shows all you need to know.
One word of advice to first time openers. The clips are simple to undo. There's no need to be over firm opening them. I was expecting to have to push solidly, but gently worked a treat.

hi guys today i was trying to take out the 250gb hd in a slim , when i tried yanking on the black ribbon to pull out the drive it was cut out is there any way i can fix it and if i can't what should i do to pull out the hard drive ?

**xbox360mod** · 6th February 11

only if the slim was this easy to open,
xecuter should design a special slim unlock tool
