How to Open Xbox Without a Torx 10

A Torx screwdriver is a Phillips-style screwdriver that is used on specific small screws in various electronics. A size 10 Torx screwdriver is usually used when disassembling an Xbox game console and removing its screws. However, if you don't have access to a Torx 10 you can actually use a regular screwdriver to open the Xbox. A regular screwdriver won't affect the disassembly process; you just need to make sure it's small enough to fit in the grooves in the screws.
