Xbox series x back plate

Hi, my Xbox series x back plate is not coming off no matter how hard or soft I twist it just won’t come off. I’m putting the screwdriver in the whole where the clip is and twisting. What alternatives can I use to take it off?

Update (01/29/25)

I’m putting the screwdriver in that hole and pulling it towards me, twisting the back and it’s still not coming off.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi!

Ah, your further then just the back panel! You need to unlatch the base right now! Please follow this guide: Xbox Series X Shell Replacement

Please check for any tape that could be there or glue residue! Please check every corner and see why it's not coming off! It's the only way to get it done :)!
