    • Use your fingers to pull and disconnect the fan connector from its motherboard socket.

    • You may be able to remove this connector without removing the power supply with a pair of needle-nose pliers.

    If you are careful you can also remove the connector by lightly prying from the sides of the connector in equal proportions (left then right then left etc.) using a 2.5 flathead.

hello,i wanna ask on the new ssd how we install the firmware?

kostas660x@hotmail.com - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

Well it certainly looks like a 2230 M-Key M.2 NVMe SSD. Will it work in a PC? Will non-OEM SSDs work in the Xbox? $100 for 512GB is highway robbery.

That's why I'm trying to retrofit my 1tb from old xbox one s into my Series S

Can I take my 1tb hard drive from one s all digital and use it for my Series S?

Southern Viking007 - crwdns2934203:0crwdne2934203:0

The ssd must have the format 2230 M.2 NVMe for it to be valid.
