CAUTION: THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH AN XBOX 360 SLIM!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME READING IF YOU HAVE AN XBOX SLIM
In this tutorial i will show you how to hotswap on an xbox 360 in order to mod old maps on live.
What you will need:
Torx 10 Screwdriver
Phillips Screwdriver
Xbox 360
Modded Disk
Halo 2 Disk
Step 1: Opening the Xbox
First of all we will remove the faceplate from our 360, to do this just put 2 fingers in the usb slot and pull it off like so:
Now we need to remove both the gray covers on each end of our 360, just put your fingers underneath the end and it should pull of with some force:
Now do the same to the other side:
Now if if you look at the front of your xbox you will notice 4 tabs (circled) you will need to lift these up with something, personally i slotted some pieces of plastic from a broken cd case underneath each one:
Now turn your xbox over and lift the bottom up:
Now if you pull back on it the back will come off too, you might need to use some force but don't worry about being gentle:
Now when you have fully removed the bottem plate you will see a metal panel with lots of screws in it, unscrew all of the silver screws with a torx 10 screwdriver (in the red area on the picture):
Now turn your xbox over again and lift the top off, you might need to wigle it a little bit:
Now you can see the insides of your xbox, at the back of the dvd drive there are 2 wires, pull both of them out as gentle as you can:
Now you should be able to wiggle the dvd drive out:
Now flip the dvd drive over and you should see 4 screws, unscrew these with a phillips screwdriver:
Now turn the dvd drive back so its the right way round and lift the top off:
Now take the cover you just removed and peel the sticker off the top (dont throw it away though you might need it later) and a metal disk will be revealed, now turn it over and press down on the magnet in the middle untill it pops out:
Now place it on the dvd drive like so:
Now put the dvd drive back in your xbox and reattach the wires in the back:
