In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates how to disassemble a device. They start by removing the warranty sticker using a small dental pick. Next, they use a plastic opening tool to detach the bottom black piece from the rest of the case. The process involves maneuvering around plastic tabs to progressively loosen and remove the casing. The presenter highlights the need for different opening tools to handle the tabs effectively and ensures the piece is free from all sides.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains how to deal with tabs that need to be disengaged by pushing on them to release. They switch to a different opening tool for better torque and successfully release the tabs without breaking anything. The tabs latch into other tabs and need to be pushed in to disengage. Subsequently, the presenter identifies several screws to be removed, noting the need for a T9 or T10 security Torx bit, as a T8 bit is too small. They use an electric screwdriver to remove the green screws, then attempt to remove the top case, which seems to be held by additional clips or fasteners.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains the disassembly process of a device, focusing on removing specific components. They highlight how certain clips hold parts in place, making it easy to slide and pull out sections without dealing with ribbon cables. The wi-fi module is removed first using a T9 Torx screwdriver, noting the lack of a connecting wire and the use of a white connector for all connections. Subsequently, the front RF board is taken off in a similar manner, with all screws being the same size making it convenient to keep them together. Finally, the top part of the device is detached, which comes off easily.

In this part of the video, we are given an inside look at the Xbox One S. The presenter highlights that it has an internal power supply, eliminating the need for an external power brick. However, if the internal power supply fails, it will be more difficult to replace due to the compact design. The video shows the tightly packed components that are clearly labeled, such as the fan, disk drive, power supply, and hard drive. The presenter then proceeds to disassemble the Xbox One S, starting with the removal of screws underneath the device. They remove the hard drive first using needle nose pliers to disconnect the connectors and then proceed to remove the power supply.

In this segment of the video, the person is demonstrating how to disassemble a device, focusing on removing the internal power supply and the disk drive. They start by identifying and releasing several tabs to open the device without worrying about minor plastic damage. They highlight that the internal power supply is versatile and can handle any voltage, requiring only the specific power cord for the region. Next, they proceed to disconnect the disk drive using needle-nose pliers to carefully lift the connectors and then unscrew a large-headed screw to remove a black plastic piece.

In this part of the video, the creator demonstrates how to pry up a metal piece to remove it and disassemble a disk drive. They point out that the disk drive model DG-6M5S01B looks similar to an Xbox One disk drive and proceed to compare the two. The disk drive’s interior, including the green board and laser, is shown and discussed. The creator mentions that the board likely needs to stay with its original motherboard, hinting at future tests to confirm this. Finally, they begin to disassemble the fan by removing screws, noting similarities to the Xbox One components.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the disassembly of an Xbox console, comparing it to the Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Key points include the successful handling of APU joints in the Xbox One, which they hope remains unchanged in the current model. They carefully remove screws and locate tabs, noting trouble areas and methods to remove them using a screwdriver, especially focusing on metal and plastic tabs. The process involves lifting the motherboard and fan assembly and removing the metal case. The speaker also mentions that the backplate can stay attached throughout.
