This is easiest if the console is upright. Breaking the warranty sticker will officially void your warranty.

Do not pull the casing off of the console yet. Doing so will break the ribbon that connects the front of your Xbox One to the circuit board.

Set the casing aside in a safe, dry place.

Set the Wi-Fi card aside in the same place as the top of the Xbox One’s casing.

Two of the screws are at the bottom of the fan box. Make sure you place the discarded screws in a plastic bag so that you don’t lose them.

Don’t force this step. If you feel resistance at any point, set the case down and try again.

Set the metal case aside with the cable side facing up.

The whole bottom part of the Xbox One’s casing is now removable as well. This is helpful if you want to paint or otherwise detail your Xbox One’s casing. If you want to remove a stuck CD from your Xbox One’s disk drive, there should be a pinhole in the front of the Xbox One’s face plate where you can insert a small item (e. g. , a paperclip) to force the drive to open.
