Xbox One S Optical Drive Replacement

Flip the Xbox One S so that the bottom of the case is facing upward.

Insert the plastic opening tool into the gap between the bottom of the case and the grated top side. Then find the clips in between that hold the case in place.

Use the opening tool to pop the clips out. The best method is to pry the black case away from the bottom.

Once all of the clips are opened, remove the bottom part of the case.

Find all of the green screws on the metal case labeled F1 through F6.

Take the T10 Torx screwdriver and remove the six 50 mm long screws.

The port cover is held in place with rivets. Insert a pry tool gently between the top cover and metal casing on both sides to prepare the cover for removal.

Gently separate the interior case from the white exterior case using the appropriate method.

Flip the interior case so it is fan side upward.

Gently pop and lift the metal panel on top of the interior case to access the hardware. It should come right off.

To replace the hard drive, remove the two 10 mm T-10 Torx screws, C3 and C4, from the backside of the Xbox One S.

Gently disconnect the hard drive from the motherboard (at the two plastic connector bodies).

To remove the optical disc drive, remove the silver 10 mm T-10 Torx screw labeled "C5."

Pull the disc drive slightly off the motherboard and disconnect the plastic connectors from the motherboard.

Remove the black, flat Torx screw from the bottom of the optical drive.

Detach the wires from the disc drive and slide the drive out.
