This guide was perfect. Had a lot of trouble getting the CPU bracket back on, but thank you for this video breakdown.

Hi, what if your xbox already overheated? I had my xbox by the window and I think it fried my xbox (after it already fried 1 TB Seagate Expansion SSD card, sucks I know).
Now my xbox says it needs to update a 996 mb update, and when it's done with step 2, verifying the Xbox, it needs to restart and doesn't restart.
Does anybody know what piece I will need to replace to fix that?
Thank you.

Thank you for also showing the reassembly rather than the iFixIt default of "To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order."
