How Do I Diassemble My Xbox?, Need some help Options

[Frank Rizzo]

I have tried to take the machine apart with no sucess. I took the srews out beneth the pads on the bottom. But Its giving me alot of resistance and I fear I'll break something inside. Can anyone tell me how to disassemble this thing?

My goal is to get the cover off so I can spray air on the inside to clear all the dust out. I have been having problems with the machine freezing up in the middle of a game.

Also sometimes the screen goes black and in white letters it says, "The disk you are using may be damaged or dirty". Even if Im playing a brand new game.

Thanks for any help.

there are screws under the stickers, look in the tutorials for the exact location.

for the disc error. the same thing happened to me, i'm thankful that when it did happen i hadnt opened my box yet, so MS fixed it

Have a look at the tutorial section, there's a tutorial that explain all of this step by step.

Thanks for the help. I found the 2 other screws under the stickers. I got to the lens, the lens and the surrounding plastic was covered with a thin layer of black dust. I wiped the stuff off with a q-tip.

My medal of honor game works fine now and no problems at all so far.

Thanks
