Step 3 - The other case screws, a total of 6.
To get at the screws under the feet, just peel back the outer edge of the rubber foot. Leave the
other half of the adhesive rubber foot to hold it in place. This is a good time to get out the X-Acto
knife to help peel back the adhesive. (Update, I find I just cut the feet when I try to use the X-acto
knife, try wedging the #20 Torx in there and twist it using the "fins" on the driver to pull up the
pad just enough to get to the screw) Once you are able to get the feet up just enough to get at the
screw start un screwing, let the screw push the foot out of the way rather than trying to peel it
back further this way the pad is only removed as much is absolutely necessary.
Once all six screws are removed, flip the box upright and grab the sides and shake it a little bit
and the bottom should drop away from the cover. I find this is done most easily by
putting the Xbox in my lap.
