Keep in mind the fact that as soon as you do this you void your warranty and if you do open your Xbox and send it into Microsoft at any point in the future they are going to know about it because there’s no way (that I know of–if you do, leave a comment) of doing this without breaking the seal. You need to be careful because the power supply has some exposed capacitors that can retain a charge after the Xbox is unplugged and can give you a nasty shock if you touch them (just pay close attention to the video I’ve got for you below, it shows you exactly what to do and what not to do). Don’t delude yourself into thinking you can just do this with a screwdriver or Allen wrench instead of a proper Torx tool–it won’t work and you’ll end up stripping the screws. Any local hardware store should have them for a few dollars. If you’re doing this to repair your Xbox due to the Red Ring of Death (RROD), the best guide to doing this properly, hands down, is The 3 Red Light Xbox 360 Repair Guide, I highly recommend you get that and follow it so you know what you’re doing.
