wikati Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Case mods seems appropriate, but this applies to every xbox ever opened. The rubber feet are very nice to remain intact. whats everyone using to stick these back on, the factory stuff is perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im_living_large Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I only peel the end up and leave the rest attached. They lay back down pretty good once I have the screws back in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done deal. Now, if someone could find a super secret method for getting those two middle screws out without touching the stickers.....THAT would be something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furon Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 This may be a cardinal sin, but I just cut a hole in them. I use a hobby knife, start in the middle, cut out toward the side until I hit the edge of the screw hole, then follow it around. Same with the stickers.

Same with the stickers. cardinal sin aside... some days the case flys open 3 times on mine (for whatever reason) you've adapted a permanent solution. i actually kinda like it.

ludvig82 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I use hot glue, and only glue one side down. So I can open the case without removing the feet completely. Works great. Sent fra min NX551J via Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaintofuburger Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I use specifically this brand: http://www.michaels.com/recollections-adhesive-tape/M10177961.html?dwvar_M10177961_size=1%2F4 x 5yd#start=5 Not just for xboxs but other electronics as well. It's thicker and gummier than standard scotch double sided or anything like that, which seems to keep things together a lot nicer than other products I have used. Clean the old tape off, stick the rubber pad on one side of the tape, x-acto knife around it to cut it off, peel the other side and stick on. Sometimes I'll hit the part side and surface side with a hot hair dryer to loosen it up a bit more to get a better bond. I spent years repairing cell phones, I have gone through the gambit of different tapes and adhesives, I use many, but this is one of the better general purpose ones IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzcd70 Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Yup, he's right you can get electronic items but not only just that you can also get other categories of products. I'll tell you about a site where you can get it at a discounted price and also you can get free shipping through Michaels Promo Codes.

Mu. Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 I found myself using double sided tape, though it didn't end up lasting very long. I eventually replaced them with a set of 3D printed feet (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4725922) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 I've used double-sided tape too and, in absence of glue, even squished Blu-Tack as a temporary and reasonably reliable short term solution to sticking the feet in place. Best glue I've found is a 'simple' general purpose solvent based glue: Bostick. It grabs harder when dry than whatever was used originally but the rubbery feet are still 'peelable' without damaging them if they ever need to be removed again. Alternatively you can just stick down only the bottom half so they can be bent back enough to get at the screw underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
