Hey,please god someone help me. Okay, I have took the top and bottom off of my xbox, along with the front faceplate. Now for some reason I can't open the back of the xbox, where the 7 small holes are. I stick in a small pen, push the clip back as far a possible, but it wont open.

I've been tring to get this open, for 5 hours straight.

Thanks for your help.

Then nothing is probably going to help you.

You need to press all the left clips at once, then all the right clips at once, pulling the case apart gently at the same time.

You will have to buy the unlock tool, or make one yourself.

you dont have to buy or make anything to take the case off. i just use a normal 1/4 inch screw driver, pop the two at the PSU plug, pull the case apart some, then do the rest 1 by 1. works like a charm and cant even tell ive opened the case.

Come talk with us on efnet at #elitemods !!! or just click ME

ALSO, DO NOT SEND ME MESSAGES ON LIVE REGARDING MODDING CONSOLES, OR HOW I PLAYED A CERTAIN GAME EARLY. I WILL NOT RESPOND. I WILL INSTEAD DELETE YOUR MESSAGE, AND BLOCK ALL COMMUNICATION FROM YOU. JUST SEND ME A PM ON HERE.

i get stubborn ones and just use the pry method. I have gone through about 3 opening tools and sometimes there's nothing to push on to get the clips to come apart.

I kind of like the prying method too.
