To open your Xbox, you're going to have to cut or peel up this tamper-evident tape. But don't worry—Microsoft can't legally void your warranty, as long as you don't damage anything. Have fun!

Use a plastic opening tool to pry up and remove the plastic vent that surrounds the side USB port.
-
The vent is fairly flexible, and held in place with weak plastic clips—start prying from the back and peel it out.

Slide the tab straight back and remove it.
Here is What's Stated in Step-3 : (There is a small plastic tab that reinforces the front corner of the Xbox.) Actually, the "Tab" is NOT SMALL at all. See the Picture: The "TAB" is the Piece that this Person has their Thumb on, is the Tab that you NEED TO SLIDE TOWARDS THE "REAR" of the Unit. You will be able to tell How this Large Tab Holds the Top and the Bottom Case Covers together. Take Note how to Replace this tab back where it Belongs, when you are putting the Case Covers back together. Hope that this comment will help you. 6-29-2017
- xbox의 전면 모서리를 지지하는 작은 플라스틱 탭이 있습니다.
- 뒤쪽으로 똑바로 밀어서 제거하세요.

Insert the flat end of a spudger between the upper and lower case where they meet at the rear of the side vent opening.
prying does not work. my spudger is causing damage. my soft. plastic. spudger. and the %#*@ thing does not move. this is a common issue with the instructions on this site. you write instructions like you assume people have extensive repair experience. describe the plastic tab. add detail. because simply prying WILL damage the case. hire a %#*@ writer. cause you guys do not know how to precisely convey important detail. constant problem with tech companies actually. no writers.
- 벗겨낸 통풍구쪽부터 상판과 하판 사이의 틈으로 spudger의 평평한 끝을 밀어넣습니다.
- 플라스틱 클립들이 꽤 강하기 때문에 생각보다 강한 힘을 사용해야 합니다.
- 케이스를 완전히 열 때까지 spudger를 계속 끼워두세요. 클립이 강해서 작업도중 다시 닫힐 수도 있습니다.
it would be very very nice that the part, that you sell, will Fix. This an ols Tutorial. The new opening tools that you sell, will not help anything, cause there is no flat sign on the side. you link these tools at this tutorial, but never tested, if the new tools work. so i tell this you, no they dont fit. Thanks for nothing.
I ve made it this far with only a Lego membership card and a flimsier amusement park card (I'm a big year old)
I had to use a 1/32nd flathead screw driver. In the corner to get it started push the top joint of the case down and up will simultaneously pulling up and down to seperate the seam. You will need a 3rd hand to insert the 1/32nd flathead and pry up to get the case started.
I had a virgin never opened xbox day one og so that might be why I had to do it this way.
even the wikihow instructions are better
It’s easier if you push the top empty area part of the plastic with your finger, and stick the spudger about 3/4” (2 cm) away from the back of the xbox and start prying. You have to do this because that is the only spot where there are no clips in the way. If you do any less or more distance, the clips are in the way, and you’ll never be able to pry open the Xbox because the tool can’t get in.
A youtube video I found explains this step better. You are meant to pull up on one half and push down on the other, this separates the two halves. Then use a spudger on the rear of the console to separate the clip right under the warranty sticker, then move down the back of the console to the other clips
-
-
-
Insert a plastic opening tool between the upper and lower case to separate the clip over the rear vent.
- 상판과 하판 사이에 끼인 후면 단자판은 여러개의 클립으로 고정되어 있습니다.
- 플라스틱 오프닝 도구로 후면 통풍구의 클립들을 분리하세요.
-
-
-
Keep moving along the rear of the Xbox, prying up clips.
- 후면을 따라서 계속 클립을 들어서 분리하세요.
- spudger가 제대로 꽂혀 있는지 중간중간 확인하세요. spudger가 빠질정도로 케이스가 분리 되더라도 남은 클립들이 매우 탄력적이라서 방심하면 도로 닫히기 십상입니다. 원활한 진행을 위해 spudger가 잘 꽂혀서 사이를 벌리도록 유지하세요.

-
-
Keep popping clips. It may help to slide the plastic opening tool across the clips.
- 클립들을 계속해서 분리합니다. 클립들을 가로질러 플라스틱 오프닝 도구를 주욱 미는 것이 도움이 될수도 있습니다.
- 후방 케이스를 따라 분리하면 상판이 열릴 기미가 보여야 합니다. 만약 열릴 기미가 보이지 않는다면 모서리부터 플라스틱 오프닝 도구로 분리를 시작하고 usb포트가 없는 쪽을 따라서 클립 분리를 다시 시도하세요.

Starting with the spudger you left in the crack, pry the upper case up to free the last few clips.
-
Lift the upper case slightly and shift it to give access to the front panel board.
I got confused here. I couldn’t unclip the front panel at all. I found out that if I open the case like a clamshell (or a book, with the front being the spine of the book) I popped right off easily.
Yeah, I saw your comment afterwards but this is exactly what I ended up doing as well. just a note for anyone reading this be careful of the flex cable as it does seem to put a questionable amount of strain on it when you open it in this manner.
"Lift the upper case slightly and shift it" isn't descriptive enough for this step. Also, pictures of actually getting the front panel loose would be really helpful.

Gereedschap gebruikt in deze stap:Tweezers$4.99
-
Use tweezers to lift the blue plastic retaining loop over the white connector on the board.
-
Use the tip of a spudger to push the connector's locking tab toward the cable to unlatch it.
Or anyone else who has this problem or reads this on this thread, which is not the correct thread for this question by the way, here is a link to the forum for that. It could be any of a number of issues including overheating, Portland elation, or infestation, among others.
Is there somewhere that I can buy a replacement zif connector
-
-
-
Use tweezers to pull the cable straight out of the connector on the board.
-
Remove the upper case.
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to free the clips securing the front panel to the upper case.
-
Remove the front panel from the rest of the upper case.
-
-
-
Support the front panel near the front of the Xbox.
-
Use tweezers to replace the front button cable in its ZIF socket.
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to push the ZIF lock to the left to secure the cable.
My Xbox stopped working after this thanks
Mine did as well, its possible it may be the same reason. For me I had to unplug and plug it back in a few times and then clean off the contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Seems simple but if you haven’t already, I would try it.
-
-
-
With the front panel at a 45 degree angle, interlock its plastic hooks with those in the lower case.
-
Push the top of the front panel into the Xbox, like closing a mailbox. Press firmly so that the clips securing the front panel to the upper case lock securely.

I think I'm going to try this. This would fix my: "I think there's a problem" error not being able scan for wifi, Id safely assume.
On top of that when I factory reset the box it gives me the error right away not even letting me bypass wireless connection and straight to hardwire.
Same here. Factory reset and made the system obsolete. Did you end up replacing the card and did it work?
has anyone figured this out?
$15 for a new card and 10 minutes for the swap. Fixed my "permanently wired internet connection" (even with nothing plugged in) problem 100%!
Super easy and 100% effective wifi problem fix. $15 and 10 minutes. Hella cheaper and faster than the $120 service repair offered by Xbox.
I wonder if adding internal wireless antenna to com1 and com3 help with wifi signal?
how can we get rid of this hardware problem message?
Has anyone figured this problem out i switch the wifi drive and still getting "hardware issues" not letting me connect to wifi either it says security protocol but i checked it everything else connects fine even xbox360 now im stuck i did the factory reset and in stuck on the connection
Have you figured out your issue yet? I have had the exact same thing happen and dont wanna spend 30 bucks on a board if it isnt going to help
Hi,
Did the remote works if we remove the Wi-Fi Board?
Thanks you,
For those of you getting the "something is wrong with the network hardware" error, I tried this method and it did not fix it.
Did you replace the actual wifi board Angelo?
Can anyone confirm this part fixed their Xbox one console?

This module definitly is for the controller connection, the bluetooth and the WiFi.
The cable only connects to the WiFi antenna at the front panel, for much better WiFi signal.
In my case, my controllers disconnect at 100% at some distance, but also randomly disconnect at short range. So my idea is to attach some antennas, instead of replacing the still working WiFi module.
Can anyone tell me if that is going to work?
I think your board will probably end up failing eventually if you are having disconnect problems even at close range. If it does I can confirm that replacing this board seemed to work for me.
My controllers were constantly disconnecting and reconnecting. It got to the point where they wouldn't reconnect and would no longer turn on the console. I followed this guide exactly, took about 25mins and I am no tech genius. My controllers now turn on the console. I haven't done any gaming with them but I will update my comment if they start to fail. I do expect them to fail again someday as I just bought a WiFi board that was pulled from a demolished unit. I found it for $23.95 Amazon but it does look considerably used on arrival. The ones they sell on Ifixit might be new, not sure. Hope this helps!
Any update on whether this worked for your problem?
The board worked for a few months but I am having troubles again. It seems like the Xbox overheats and melts some solder. I am curious if the xbox one slim board can be used its place. It's a bluetooth board, so that might be a problem.
I'm trying to add a better wifi card to increase the megs a second download rate I have 300meg internet but my Xbox doesn't go past 100 will this fix that issue
Changed the card as my controllers were not syncing with the console, everything was fine for about 8 hours now controllers wont sync anymore with new card.
Must be something causing this to break deeper.
Bobhoskins - I Haved the same problem, changed the card and the problem return some days later
im thinking in use te wireless dongle of microsoft
Problem Solved, the problem are in the cabele between de mother board and the wireless card
so you replaced the cable and board? and it worked? or did you re connect the cable to a better position and replace the board? i have wifi board on the way from ebay i hope this fixes my problem. i factory reset and cannot bypass the initial setup
did replacing the board fix it? I’m stuck after a hard reset… I can ping when i plug in a hard wire, but the xbrick won’t let me get past the reboot config without wireless…
Can someone say if they have resolved the hardware problem and what they actually did to do this??
I have the same error 'hardware problem' I did a factory reset and now can't get passed network setup. This problem arose after took the Xbox apart to swap the hard drive which I never ended up doing because I had the wrong replacement hard drive. I did disconnect the hard drive in the Xbox one and reconnect it. Also disconnected the wifi board. I reconnected everything as it should be. Turned the Xbox one on and let the kids play their game offline for awhile. Then I went to play battlefield 1, online of course. And nope. Did all the common troubleshooting tips for network problems and that's when I got the dreaded hardware problem error. I've already bought a new Xbox one but I'd still like to fix this Day One Edition Xbox One. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
you have to buy a new wifi board on ebay for like $10 and plug it in instead of the old one

Took 20 minutes to replace!! Very easy process. Thanks for the great instructions.
Worked like a charm had an xbox where no wireless controllers worked unless you were an inch away. Swapped the wifi board and it worked perfectly.
Hi, following this tutorial i’ve replaced the board on my xbox with one purchased from Ebay, problem is the xbox still will not connect to wifi network, and the controllers will not connect wirelessly to the console.
Does this mean the replacement board I have received is faulty? Or is it possible their is another fault in the xbox? 'I’d rather not buy another board unnecessarily!
Is there an article like this for the one x?
I was having problems with the controllers and WiFi disconnecting (every 5mins or so), sometimes it would happen to them both at the same time, sometimes just the controllers. I replaced the WiFi card with a replacement (used) unit from eBay. The problem was instantly solved and worked flawlessly for 1 month. However the problem returned out of the blue and was even worse than before! I thought maybe the replacement card had failed. However on a whim I just decided to tear down the entire console and look for loose wires etc. I didn’t find any but I disconnected the wifi card bridge cable (cable between card and main board) and reconnected it then put everything back together again. It’s now been working flawlessly for 1 day so far. I’m not exactly sure what fixed it or if it will remain fixed, I suppose it’s possible during the first replacement something wasn’t securely seated and came loose after 1 month. I also wonder if simply unplugging/replugging the card does something that fixes it for short while?
my xbox wont show any wifi available and when i go to add the SSID it says my security protocol won't work...ive tried holding the xbox button for 10-15 seconds, factory resetting it still nothing. then when i go to clear my MAC address and it wont let me
Having the same issue here Joel. have replaced the board and the controller works fine but the WIFI is still not connecting. Have you managed to fix this?
this is old, but does this chip also control syncing capabilities?
How do yo put it back on
My Xbox kicks me out of games and won’t let me use Wi-Fi at all usually I’ve already replaced the Wi-Fi chip a couple months ago should I replace all Wi-Fi connectors including the chip
Took me about 45 minutes to pull open my original Xbox One and replace this board and antenna following a guide. It was fiddly but not at all hard.
Both of my controllers were disconnecting frequently (every 3-10 minutes) and this resolved the problem right away. Nice!
Thanks so much for the write-up.
You are very professional. Thank you very much
Just ordered the replacement wifi module from ebay uk as everywhere else is out of stock. I will keep you updated when I've received the replacement ;) Fingers crossed.
Will replacing this will fix controller de syncing issue?
In the United States the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975 is a Federal Law that states that stickers and clauses are illegal. It says you can open your electronics without voiding the warranty, regardless of what language of that warranty says.

Stickers are illegal!?
Brandon -
For anyone concerned, if you apply heat with a blow dryer or heat gun you can carefully remove the sticker without damaging it, making it impossible to know that the sticker was ever removed.

All the immature comments aside, thank you Dustin for sharing the information.
