Microsoft Xbox 360 Dismantling Instructions page 6

Remove the bottom vent from the 360.
•
Insert the 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.
You may also accomplish this task by using the edge of the Xbox 360 opening tool, but it
•
may scratch the plastic case.
Alternatively, you can use your hands to carefully pull the faceplate away from the Xbox.
