-[* black] You might think we're removing this friendly Seattle ~~Frisbee~~ flying disc from the bottom (or side, depending) just for a quick toss, but that's not the case. There are, in fact, some more screws hidden underneath!
- [* black] We ''wish ''we could have left it alone, because removing it took some tedious internal unclipping.
-[* black] The optical drive is the first of the guts to spill. And like that one guy you weren't expecting to show up to your class reunion, we recognize this thing from the [guide|65572|Xbox One S|stepid=135530|new_window=true] and Xbox One X—same model number and all!
- [* icon_note] Exciting for us, but for you, less so. Our tests suggest the optical drive's circuit board is paired to the motherboard, which means no easy replacements if the drive goes kaput.
- [* black] That said—just like the One S and One X—if you can de-solder the board from your original optical drive add it to a new drive, you're back in business.
