Repair Steps

1

Unplug and Open

Unplug the Xbox. Remove the rubber feet to access the screws. The outer shell lifts off. The internal power supply is integrated.

2

Clean for Overheating

Use compressed air on the heatsink and fan. The fan is at the top. Clean the dust filters. Consider replacing thermal paste on the APU for severe overheating.

3

Disc Drive

The disc drive is on the side. It is paired to the motherboard. A replacement drive requires a donor board or professional pairing. Try cleaning the lens first.
