check again man, it should be a 10.

If not, do you have access to a digital camera? see if you can snap a pic or something

Yes, it is a torx10 . Out of all the xboxes I've modded, all of them used torx10 for the HD and DVD drive. Maybe you are using something different than torx10?

Is it too big, or too small?

Are you sure your using the Torx10? It should have a 10 on the handle.

then again, if the one in your hand doesnt fit, you should try the other one just for the hell of it.

Both are to big

Do you think they might of changed the screws? is there such a thing as a Torx 5?

Idea: try a bigger torx driver. Move up to the next size. Maybe M$ is throwing you a curve.

Well I have a set of torx drivers, so I would have just gone to the next size. I take it, you just bought what you needed?

Go get a set, they come in handy. You never know when you will need one.

My Xbox takes a T20 for the exterior case screws and I use a T-15 for the interior screws.

You mean the shaft of the screwdriver is too big to fit, right? Just go to a hardware store and get an extension bit (or a longer T10-T15 bit).

Hey another quick question my iorn diddent come with any solder what kind of solder do you recomend thanks much! (Oh and the Torx 15 worked

Thanks chefelf!

No problem. Just get the smallest solder you can (Radio Shack). The smaller the better for that tricky d0.

There's both torx-10 & torx-15 inside the xbox isn't there. I'm sure I remeber using 3 sizes (obviously torx-20 for exterior screws).

Am I wrong?

chefelf · « **Reply #10 on:** July 24, 2003, 05:20:00 PM »

I'm not sure. I know I only used a T15 on the inside of my two boxes (v1.0 and v1.3).

i read a tutorial on how to open r xbox and take out hard drive and stuff and it says if u dont use a torx 10 and 20 screw u could nuke ur xbox. Is this true I read this tut on xb scene. How to fully open an xbox console was the name of the tut.

thanx

Just FYI, I think it is a T10 for inside the Xbox. I have a bit that says "T15" on it and it fits perfectly. I just went out and got a longer T15 bit and it doesn't. I returned it for another brand T15 and that doesn't fit either. Perhaps my bit is mislabled which made me think that it takes a T15 when it's actually a T10. Very odd.

What do they mean by "nuke your Xbox"? It seems to me that what would happen if you used the wrong side is that it would just be too big or too small. Not the end of the world.

bLaXe · « **Reply #13 on:** July 25, 2003, 03:58:00 PM »

I find it hard to see how you could 'nuke' your xbox by removing internal screws. Unless you did something drastic like scratched something with the driver. I hope no one did that...

I fully opened my xbox with 1 phillips head screwdriver..
