Modify the xbox 360 component / fiber to be able to use hdmi with it

The big connector that comes with the xbox 360 ( not elite ) blocks the HDMI
connection, thus I wasnt able to use fiber and hdmi at the same time

Microsoft sell a kit to be able to do so :



Instead of buying this kit ( 30$ US on ebay ) I broke appart the big connector
1- remove the plastic casing using a flat screwdriver
2- remove the big part of metal casing shown removed on this picture

3- pry the metal so that the part hiding the hdmi connector is out of the way


Tested, it just works, optical sound and hdmi video at the same time
have fun
