How to Open an XBox Without a Torax 10

The Xbox video game console must be opened if it is to be modified or to have a part replaced. You can open the Xbox yourself using common household tools, despite the manual's noting that a special screwdriver is required. Opening the Xbox will void the Microsoft warranty even though no damage will come to the game console. Adult supervision is required if you are underage since a cutting tool must be used.
