The sides of the front panel clamp to the bottom of the Xbox with some good force so you have to
pull twist and push harder than you might expect. Using the screw driver or other prying device
attempt to move the front panel and the bottom plastic away from each other, moving the inside
portion inward is easier than bending the front clamp outward but a little of each should get the
job done. Once the front panel is pushed out just slightly go after the 3 tabs by pushing down.
There will be a bit of stress on these so be careful. If all goes well you should hear a little pop
when you push down on the first tab and notice the front panel move out slightly. Once you get
to that point the rest is easy hit the other two tabs and rotate the faceplate.
