After trying a bunch of "free" programs that say you can burn copies all I ended up with is a pile of dead disks that didn't work. I download every version of free software I could find, plus other programs for compressing and fitting everything onto one disk and so on... sound familiar? Or worse yet ... try and follow some of the tutorials on forums.

Some of them actually appeared to work until I tried to play the copy. One was so corrupted it got stuck inside my console and I had to take it apart and manually remove it. I was pretty fed up and deleted all the programs I downloaded.

I finally broke down and bought QuickDVDCopy after reading a lot of good reviews on it. I could have saved myself a lot of time and aggravation if I had found it sooner. There software is worth every penny I paid for it. It does EXACTLY what they say it will.

How To Open Your Xbox 360

The first steps in repairing your Xbox 360 is getting it open without damaging the case. First you will want to lay out a soft towel or blanket on your work surface.

Next you need to remove the face plate. There are latches on the ends of the face plate internally. You can not see them from the outside. Laying your Xbox flat, squeeze the ends of your face plate and pull forward. It will pop off.

Once the face plate has been removed, you can remove the side panels. To release the tabs, insert a thin, round screwdriver or punch into the holes on either end of the white case panels and gently push. Be careful not to break them.

You will now be able to see the metal chassis inside. You can now remove the bottom of your Xbox 360. Apply gentle pressure with a flathead screwdriver to release the tabs on the front and back. You'll need to insert the screwdriver between the white panels to detach the back tabs.

You can now remove the top portion. At this point you will need a torx screwdriver. If you do not have one you can buy a cheap set at your local hardware store. Do not try to use a regular flat head or Phillips, you will damage the torx screws.

Remove the 6 torx screws located near the four corners and center of the chassis. Remember where the longer ones came from. It should now look like the above photo.

At this point you can lift out the DVD unit and you will find the CPU underneath. You now have access to repair your Xbox 360

At this point you will need a more comprehensive Xbox 360 repair guide. Out of all the manuals I found this one to be the most useful.
