    • With the bottom of the Xbox facing you, pull the two bottom-rear corners of the plastic case away from each other.

    • As you pull the corners apart, slide the back panel towards the bottom of the device. This releases the back panel from the plastic case.

    • The back panel should now settle on top of the clips on the back of the plastic case.

    • The back panel is permanently attached to the aluminum chassis.

What is the name of the blue paste on the power supply, and does it need to be replaced?

I'd assume this is thermal putty used in lieu of thermal pads. Similar to thermal pads, there is usually no need to replace or reapply them unless their position doesn't line up with the components that need heat conduction—in this case the storage expansion module. Hope this helps!

Looks like we both wasted 75 dollars on a Microsoft money laundering scheme designed to breakdown and not be capable of repair.
