♣Saftey♣ (for you and your xbox) _____________________________________________________________________ 1.UNPLUG THE SYSTEM BEFORE YOU OPEN IT. 2.Use a store that will give you a refund. 3.Dont forget to be very carfull when swaping the motherboards and powerboard because of risk of shock to you and to the motherbourd. 4.Do not dust or rub your fingers on the mother- board, you can rub off the leads. 5.Static electricity can fry the motherboard so do not work on the xbox on the carpet. _____________________________________________________________________ ♠What u need♠ ◘-Torx wrenches ◘-Two Xboxes(broken & new) ◘-Box cutter(or something simmiler) ◘-Wax paper ◘-nailpollish remover ◘-Cottonballs _____________ Step 1 *make shure all power cords and controllers are unpluged* Flip your brand new xbox over and dab some nale pollish remover on the stickers(only remove the barcode and the one with the silver one) and carfully pull them away and store them on the wax paper.(if the labels on the xbox ar damaged the store wont refund it) Step 2. Remove the feet with the box cutter without damaging them(if the feet loose thier stick u can glue them back on later). Use the torx wrench to remove the screws under the four feet and the two labels. Flip the box back over and slide the top cover off. The first thing you will see is the hdd and dvd-drive side by side. Remove the ide cable(big & grey) from the back of teh hard drive. Unscrew the torx screw set between the hdd and dvd drive. You may now slowly remove the hdd out of the xbox. Step 3. Start by removing the ide cable from the back of the dvd drive. There are two screws on each side of the dvd drive which you must be removed. Once you have removed the two screws carefully lift up and remove the yellow wires from the back of the dvd drive, and remove the drive. You now have access to the motherboard. Step 4. Unscrew the eleven screws scattered throughout the motherboard. Carefully and slowly side forward will lifting the motherbourd upwards untill it is free of the magnetic case. DO NOT remove the powerboard unless u absolutly have to. do not touch the power wells, they will shock the hell out of you even if your box is unpluged. Step 5. Repeat for broken xbox and simply put the new parts into the old xbox and the new xbox gets the broken parts. Step 6. Replace stickers and feet on bothe xboxes and return the xbox with the broken parts to the store for a full refund. Written by: SIBOT666
You will not have any of your saved data on the new box. For xbl accounts just do account recovery. (feedback plz)
is that illegal?? because im thinking about doing it because my xbox is broke at the momento...and it work even turn on...sheesh
a little off topic also but if ur xbox wont turn on then its prolly the hard drive. my friend had the same problem and i switched hard drives and his xbox turned on and mine would not turn on so if u made a backup of your hard drive then its time to put it to use if u dont (like my friend) then do wut SIBOT666 posted.
WOW u really repeat yourself dont u. This is just to help people who have gotten bad insrustions on soft/hard moding and dont want to buy a new xbox(u have to purchase one, but u do get your money back in the end)
