XBOX 360 S FAN DRIVER
now look at picture 4, place your screw driver inbetween the black part and the plastic and pry these apart it should come off with very little effort Congratulations you have just completed the hardest part of this mod. now you have the back spread far enough so that the clips won't go back together turn the box around and unclip the large clips on the front (picture 3). now push slightly harder with your hand that is holding the box apart, and proceed to press in the final 5 clips above the video port of the xbox each of these should make a distinct clicking noise as you work your way to the opposite end of the box. once these two clips have come undone use one hand to hold this end of the xbox apart using a small amount of pressure to make a gap between the two halves of the box now push one of your screwdrivers into the middle of the fan ventialtion section, there are two clips here which come apart with very little force.

as you can see in picture 2 if you start at the end of the box with the power connector and push a screw driver into each of these holes, you should hear a distinct clicking noise when the clip is depressed.
XBOX 360 S FAN DRIVERS
this is where the two screw drivers come into place. i will attempt to explain how i do it which i believe to be the easiest way i have discovered.

In image one i have circled the 7 clips that hold the back of the case together, these each need to be freed to allow the case to come apart. To start with we will need some tools: Torx screwdriver size T-10 2 small flat blade screwdrivers Wire strippers, or sharp knife Electrical tape Well thats the background covered now to set about opening the 360. This is because when the xbox is relatively cool the fans are kept slow to keep the xbox quiet, and as it heats up the fan speed should increase, however this doesnt always work properly so i set about finding a 12v source to power my fans, i settled on using the dvd rom drive power cable. After looking at the fans in the back of the xbox i noticed that theyre listed as 12v, but when i attached my volt meter to the fan pins they are only drawing a 5v current. My xbox 360 was getting extremely hot and causing my games to freeze and at one point even gave me the red ring of death, so I set about trying to find a way to keep it cooler after doing some looking and probing with my vault meter. The writing below is the theory on why i did this mod. This modification will invalidate any warranty that you may have on your xbox, if you have warranty left on your box i strongly suggest you do not attempt this or any other modification that requires opening the xbox 360 unless you are prepared to face the consequences.
