    • Use a pair of blunt tweezers to peel back the large sticker on the back panel to reveal the second screw.

    • You only need to peel this sticker to where you can access the hidden screw. You don't need to pull it completely off.

    • Technically, these are tamper-evident stickers, but don't worry—Microsoft can't legally void your warranty, as long as you don't damage anything. Have fun!

    • Use your fingers or a pair of blunt tweezers to grip the edges of the fan cable connector, and pull up to disconnect it from the center chassis.

    • Always pull cables by their connectors and not the wires themselves.

    • During reassembly, route the fan cable underneath its small cable guide on the fan housing so it doesn't interfere with the back panel.

  10. Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Remove the fan: Schritt 10, Bild 1 von 2 Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Remove the fan: Schritt 10, Bild 2 von 2
    • Slide the fan out of its slot to remove it.

    • During reinstallation, note that the fan can only be installed one way—make sure Master Chief is facing you.

    • If you are replacing the fan, a new fan will probably not include the plastic installation bracket. The bracket is attached to the fan with four T10 Torx screws. This is not pictured in this guide.

    • You may need to hold the locking tab open while you get the base started.

    • Remove the base.

    • During reassembly, drop the base tabs into their holes on the shell and twist clockwise until the base snaps into the interior locking tab.

    • When locked in place, the "Hello from Seattle" line will be parallel with the device's sides.

  13. Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Remove the optical drive screws: Schritt 13, Bild 1 von 2 Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Remove the optical drive screws: Schritt 13, Bild 2 von 2

    • Lift up the optical drive's vibration isolator to remove it.

    • The vibration isolator grips the sides of the optical drive with silicone pads, so you may need to "walk" the isolator off of the drive to slip it off each side.

    • During reassembly, ensure the vibration isolator is pushed down and around both edges of the optical drive, so it sits flush with the rest of the center chassis.

  15.

  16. Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Remove the optical drive: Schritt 16, Bild 1 von 2 Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Remove the optical drive: Schritt 16, Bild 2 von 2
    • Grip the top edge of the optical drive and pull it out of its slot in the shell to remove it.

    • During reassembly, align the pegs on the bottom edge of the optical drive with the guide holes on the bottom of the shell.

    • If the drive is misaligned, the top vibration isolator will not be able to be installed correctly, and the disc reader will be misaligned with the front of the console.

  17. Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Disconnect the USB port cable: Schritt 17, Bild 1 von 3 Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Disconnect the USB port cable: Schritt 17, Bild 2 von 3 Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement, Disconnect the USB port cable: Schritt 17, Bild 3 von 3
    • The ribbon cables and their connectors are extremely fragile, so always open locking tabs gently and pull cables slowly.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to flip open the metal locking tab on the USB port ribbon cable.

    • During reassembly, gently snap the metal locking tab back into place once the cable has been inserted.

  18. Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement: Schritt 18, Bild 1 von 2 Xbox Series X Wi-Fi Antenna Board Replacement: Schritt 18, Bild 2 von 2
    • Use a pair of tweezers to pull up on the black plastic pull tab to disconnect the USB port cable.

    • Pull only on the pull tab, not the cable itself.

    • With the metal tab depressed, use a pair of tweezers to pull up on the pull tab to disconnect the power button cable from the center chassis.

    • Pull only on the pull tab, not the cable itself.

    • Don't pull on the cable without depressing the metal tab, otherwise you risk damaging either the cable or the connector.

    • During reassembly, the cable should lightly "snap" into place when inserted.
