I love this guide, guys. Even having never seen an XBOX Kinect, I have a very clear image of how to approach this repair/ replacement. Your markup is great and clear, your action shots denote direction where it’s needed, and your pictures show individual components in a way that leaves no confusion. Your steps are adequately descriptive as well. If I have to critique one thing, is it necessary to denote the bit type used on the driver when removing screws? I’m not sure if it is, but my group included this information. All in all, you did a great job with this one. Your guides are knowledgeable and concise.
