    • Before you begin, completely power down and unplug all cables from your console.

    • Two stickers cover the back panel screws. You can remove the stickers without heating them, though it makes them much easier to remove cleanly.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the smaller sticker near the bottom of the back panel for two minutes.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer to heat the sticker.

    • Use the flat end of a spudger to scrape up a corner of the larger sticker until you can grip it with a pair of blunt tweezers.

    • Use blunt tweezers to peel back the sticker to reveal the second screw.

    • You only need to peel this sticker to where you can access the hidden screw. You don't need to pull it completely off.

    • Technically, these are tamper-evident stickers, but don't worry—Microsoft can't legally void your warranty, as long as you don't damage anything. Have fun!

    • Use your fingernails or a pair of angled tweezers to firmly grip the edges of the fan cable connector.

    • Grip your tweezers close the connector to get a better grip.

    • Pull the connector straight out of the socket to disconnect it.

    • If you're having trouble, gently rock the connector side to side to loosen it.

    • Always pull cables by their connectors and not the wires themselves.

    • During reassembly, route the fan cable underneath its small cable guide on the fan housing so it doesn't interfere with the back panel.

    • Before installing the fan, make sure it's clean! Use a dust blower or compressed air to blow off any dust or debris, and wipe the fan clean with a clean cloth.

    • Use a finger to keep the fan blades steady—it makes them easier to clean.

    • Note that the fan can only be installed one way—make sure Master Chief is facing you.
