XBox 360 Power Supply Disassembly

Post by builderboy »

How do you remove the covers from an XBox 360 Power Supply? I've removed the four screws underneath the rubber feet, but still can't seperate the two halves. I've seen a picture of one disassembled within benheck.com forums (Xbox 360 Elite Laptop). I'm trying to develop a way to control cabinet fans based on the power supply LED indicators.

I've taken apart 3 360 power supplys; two I could open with no problem by just removing the four screws. The thrid one I could not open at all - it seemed to be glued together.

Set it on a hard surface, and hit it with medium strength with a hammer until the case separates. Be careful. Don't want any broken power supplies.

Or...you know...fingers.
