Hey i was trying to open my xbox without a torx screwdriver and i used allen wrenches. They work fine. It was english size i think but metric should work also. I just wouldn't tighten the screws insanely hard with it cuz it might strip.

Uh, a decent Torx screw set costs maybe $10. Why do you *need* something cheaper than that?

i didn't say anyone needed it, but if you have allen wrenches then you just saved yourself 10 bucks

yeah, he's just trying to save people money which is appreciated. Thx for the advice =)

Thanks alot man i just ordered my chip and it isnt here yet but im broke and i had a shit load of allen ranches laying around. I just tryed them and it worked ;] so now im sittin here with my xbox open and no mod chip LOL

You can do this, but I would get a torx. Chances are you will be opening this thing up more than you think, and eventually it may strip those cool little screws!

thats what i was about to say.. =)

don't risk stripping it, get a torx. I picked up a torx10 bit for my screwdriver for less than 2 dollars at home depot.

i picked up a whole set
torx 1,2,5,7,10,15,12
for $AU20 ($US10)
