How do I get in to an Xbox?

[Corin Denton]

The disc has slipped out from the tray and has locked the drawer, can't see any obvious screws?

Any tips?

Chuck it out of the window mate

The bastards are indestructable.

One drunken night, i decided to go "Xbox surfing" on mine, while my mate played PGR on it

Not a thing wrong with it

Is there a tiny hole only big enough for a pin (like on the front of PC CD drives)? If so stick a paperclip in it, turned off at the mains first though

If not try the old turn it on and hold down the eject button for a few seconds.

I don't have an XBox these are just usual solutions for then this happens

To open the xbox there are 6 screws in the underside.
4 of them are located under the rubber feet in either corner and the other 2 are under the product stickers. Once removed you can easily get access to the DVD drive.

Sneaky. And I bet one of the product stickers says "warranty void if removed". Am I right?

You betcha :-(

Once you've got the case open you've still got to get inside the DVD drive, though...

OK so.....
1) Check Xbox Scene cos there's a load of info there
2) The stickers will leave a pattern when they are removed, iirc, you can peel them off carefully or with the help of a hairdryer.

3) You'll need a torx screwdriver to get open it up. I can't remember exactly which one, something like a T10-T13

4) Once inside your xbox you'll need to remove the dvd drive from it (disconnect the ide and power leads)
then open it up to get the disc out
