Xbox Philips DVD Drive Disassembly

はじめに

Step by step disassembly guide for the Microsoft Xbox (Original) Philips DVD drive.

This was not my personal Xbox so please don’t ask what happened to the top cover. It is assumed the original owner got a game stuck inside and couldn’t figure out how to recover it without prying the top spindle off. They were kind enough to electrical tape it back down and this drive is now fully functional :)

There is one screw on the rear left side of the hard drive that is only visible when the IDE ribbon cable is lifted up. The other two are at the front right and left sides of the hard drive.
The screw on the lower left corner of the disk drive is not in the hole that it appears to be in, but rather just closer to the corner.
