If you ever needed to open your older Xbox 360 and don't have a case tool and can't be bothered buying one from overseas and waiting 4-6 weeks for it to arrive, then take a look at this video.
This is by far the easiest way to do it just with a few simple tools you will most likely have around the home. A small flat blade screwdriver, a thin metal rod and a T12 Torx driver also known as a T10 (I used a modified allen key/hex key).
I had an older Xbox 360 that I had purchased cheaply many months ago that no longer read game discs but I could hear the drive trying to work. Thanks to this video, I had fixed a non working drive, cleaned inside the console and put it back together and was playing Red Dead Redemption for the first time.
