Magicaldave Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 This is the guide I used, it works well. Grab a flathead to remove the tabs, it’s surprisingly easy once you know what to do. http://www.dynatron.org/howto/XBOX/buildit/disassemble/face.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke007 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) HI guys, I also would like to change the power led color... After opening the Xbox & removing the hard drive, do I just unhook the power circuit yellow ribbon to remove the front panel or is there more to it?

Unplug that and then press in the tab on the bottom of the PCB to release it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks for your reply. I just want to be sure that there's nothing else holding the front panel together right? Nothing from the controller ports that I have to unplug right?

You will obviously have to unplug the controller ports to get the panel off so that you can GET to the LED PCB, just to be clear, but other than that, once the panel is off, you will only need to release the PCB and it will come out. Edit: Needed coffee. This is not true. I am embarrassed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I do have to unplug something from the controller ports?

I'm so embarrassed. I've taken apart countless consoles and even tired I should not have made a rookie mistake like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
