Hello, thank you ifix for this guide, I followed this guide, I got stuck at some point but I resolved it. Also I want to share this resource: Step by Step guide to fix Xbox 360 errors it helped me go through all the things associated with Xbox 360 and the troubleshooting of errors. Hope this can also help you all.

-
Insert the flat edge of a spudger between the faceplate and the outer casing near the power button.
-
Run your spudger along the edge of the faceplate to release the clips securing it to the front of the console.
The faceplate just pulls off, using a tool is completely unneccessary. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/xbox-...

-
-
The top vent is secured to the console via clips. The first two clips are located underneath the top vent closest to the faceplate, as shown in the pictures.
-
-
-
-
Insert the flat end of a spudger into the small gaps previously mentioned to release the clips.
I found this step difficult. I wasn't able to see where the clips were from the pictures. If you look at step 14 you can see what the clips look like after the vent is taken off. Once you realize where they are it is a lot easier.

-
-
Stand the console vertically with the top edge facing down.
-
Carefully peel the warranty sticker off the console.

-
Press the Xbox 360 opening tool down into the clips securing the lower case to the upper case near the I/O ports.
-
While pressing down on the tool, push the lower and upper cases apart to separate the retaining clips.
I didn't have an XBox tool, so I followed instructions in this video for this step (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaxIB6cX...) to pry it open with your fingers and a screwdriver.
The small (metal) women's hair clip is best for un-latching the tabs. The screw drivers just make the holes bigger.
You can also use the pointed end of a plastic spudger to push each clip free while you separate the case with your free hand.
-
-
-
While pushing the upper and lower cases apart, use the tip of a spudger or the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to push the long clip highlighted in red toward the center of the 360.
-
The clip should release, leaving the clips near the power connector as the only thing holding the upper and lower cases together.
-
-
-
Use the tip of a spudger to release the clip securing the eject button to the metal casing.
-
Insert the flat end of a spudger between the eject button and the optical drive.
-
Pry the eject button off its retaining posts and remove it from the 360.
-
-
-
Remove the six silver 64 mm T10 Torx screws securing the upper case to the metal casing.
-
-
-
Peel the silver tape securing the optical drive to the metal casing.
Looking at mine, I doubt it. It looks like standard foil tape
-
-
-
Grab the power connector by its cables and pull it straight out of its socket on the optical drive.
-
Disconnect the SATA data connector from its socket on the optical drive by pulling it straight away.
I found the power cable to be very tough to get out, at least it is the first time doing this.
I found it much easier to remove the SATA cable after lifting the assembly mostly out of the case.
-
-
-
Lift the optical drive assembly out of the metal casing.
Be careful not to lose or break the two teeny metal clips securing the optical drive assembly snugly to the metal casing on either side of the drive's front face. I used a spudger to press in the topmost tines on these clips because they were catching on the drive and bending up. The clips should stay on the metal housing, not come off with the drive.
-
-
-
Insert the flat end of a spudger into the small rectangular opening on the top of the cooling fan duct.
-
Carefully release the fan duct retaining clip and remove the fan duct from the Xbox.
-
The clip can alternatively be released using the metal finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool.

Not very difficult, took me 10 minutes tops and I had no idea what I was doing
Excellent guide. Very concise. The opening tool was 100% worth the money just for steps 21-24.
WARNING: Just replacing the drive will not make it work correctly. Microsoft has married the drives to the motherboard. Hence, in order to get full operation out of the drive you'll have to perform more steps not listed here. Search in the FAQ on this specific topic for more details. Otherwise, before buying a new drive, try cleaning the inside of the old one and/or replace the belt involved in opening and closing the drive door.
- Good Luck
