September 9 XI-box report check
Normal repair remains a 14-part, 19-screw community-recorded rebuild. Separate that workflow from two reported defects: a floating ghost screw during disassembly and an unselectable lower-left motherboard screw or parts that will not snap during competition. These reports are not an official universal defect. Protect the save, put the item aside and return it once, or leave and retry the event once; if it persists, capture the build, mode, failed step, Notebook counter, screenshot/video and save folder for a developer report.
Assembly Bug After 1.0.015 — Part Won't Snap
Status: Player reported / Watching · rechecked September 8. In XI-box competitions, reports describe the lower-left motherboard screw, hard drive, or disc drive no longer highlighting after a failed attempt. Reports conflict on whether leaving and re-entering restores the target, so this is not a confirmed fix.
| Symptom | Evidence state | Safest next step |
|---|---|---|
| Part will not snap or highlight | Current player report | Protect the save; capture the part and target before retrying |
| Lower-left motherboard screw stops responding | Repeated by one player after failure | Test once before installing parts that cover it |
| Hard drive or disc drive will not register | Current player report | Compare a clean first attempt; do not force or discard parts |
Current XI-Box issues — build 1.0.015
Hotfix 1.0.015 targets the rock-musician guitar story blocker, not the XI-Box. Keep the repair, competition and historical patch cases separate. Current XI-Box symptoms below are player reports unless the status says official; preserve a pre-disassembly save and record the last removable layer before retrying.
| Symptom | Evidence status | Safe next check |
|---|---|---|
| Competition cannot be completed | Player reported after later builds | Record model, event stage and result screen |
| Floating / ghost screw | Player reported on 1.0.015 | Reload before disassembly and capture the final layer |
| Cannot fully disassemble | Player-reported consequence | Check every visible fastener and removable layer |
| Cannot clean or repair | Player reported; build-specific | Record part, tool, order and build |
| XI-Box competition fix | Officially listed in 1.0.013r | Treat as historical patch evidence, not proof that every later event works |
XI-Box competition still bugged after the hotfix?
Official 1.0.013r notes say the XI-Box competition was fixed, but a current post-hotfix Steam topic reports competitions still failing. This is a player report, not proof of a universal defect. On 1.0.015, save before entry, verify the event selected XI-Box, avoid moving unfinished competition parts into general inventory, and record the timer, remaining-parts counter and result screen. If it still fails, keep the save and report the exact build and reproduction steps.
Ghost screw reported after 1.0.015
A player report describes a screw marker hanging in space after all XI-box parts are removed, or returning after the screw is taken out. This is not confirmed as universal. Preserve evidence before changing the device state.
- Capture the active layer and remaining-screw counter
- Save to a separate slot before advancing the day or handing in
- Reload once and check whether the marker returns
- Do not buy random parts to clear a screw-only marker
- Report build 1.0.015, order source, teardown order, screenshot, save, and log
XI-box at a glance
Current records list 14 distinct pieces, 19 screws, an XI-box license, hacking support, and a ¥90,000 sale value. Ten of the fourteen pieces can carry dirt. The rebuild-parts total also equals ¥90,000, so buying every component leaves no margin before the job reward.
Parts, screws, and rebuild order
The table follows a community-recorded release-build reassembly sequence. The two Front Panels are separated by position and price because the game lists them as distinct pieces.
| Order | Part | Screws | Recorded cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Back Panel | 0 | ¥10,930 |
| 2 | Motherboard | 6 | ¥12,860 |
| 3 | Right Ports | 2 | ¥4,500 |
| 4 | Left Ports | 2 | ¥4,500 |
| 5 | Fan | 0 | ¥2,250 |
| 6 | Power Unit | 2 | ¥10,290 |
| 7 | Motherboard Cable | 0 | ¥1,930 |
| 8 | DVD | 1 | ¥9,000 |
| 9 | DVD Cable | 0 | ¥2,890 |
| 10 | Front Panel — side | 0 | ¥5,140 |
| 11 | Hard Drive | 2 | ¥9,640 |
| 12 | Hard Drive Cable | 0 | ¥2,890 |
| 13 | Ribbon Cable | 0 | ¥2,250 |
| 14 | Front Panel — top | 4 | ¥10,930 |
How to use the order safely
Use the table from the inside out only after documenting your own teardown. Photograph each layer, keep screw groups with the part they secure, and compare the live Notebook before installing the next cover. If the current build disagrees, follow the game and report the mismatch rather than forcing an older sequence.
Parts cost and sale-value boundary
The recorded component values sum to ¥90,000, matching the listed device sale value. That is a rebuild-cost comparison, not guaranteed profit: customer rewards, dirty but reusable parts, donor stock, and the 1.0.013r marketplace rebalance can change the practical outcome.
Tourist order and competition
A current database records a stage-five Tourist order with one broken and three dirty parts and a ¥27,000 reward. It also lists assembly entry at ¥1,400, prize ¥6,200 and net ¥4,800, with a 2:53 record. Treat event figures as build-sensitive and confirm them at the counter.
Reported missing-part and duplication issue
A focused Steam technical report describes an XI-box order duplicating the device and losing screws or parts after advancing the day. A developer acknowledged it as a new issue and requested save/log evidence. This is a player report, not proof that every XI-box is broken. Preserve a save before hand-in and avoid advancing the day with an incomplete XI-box if the symptom has already appeared.
Verification checklist
Before returning the device, confirm the fourteen named pieces, all nineteen recorded screws, cable seating, both Front Panels, and the remaining task counter. If anything is missing, stop before hand-in and compare the current Notebook, inventory, workbench and parts store.

XI-box FAQ
Which license is needed? Current records list XI-box. Is 19 the case-screw count? It is the total recorded across the fourteen-part rebuild, not just the outer shell. Is the order official? No; it is cross-checked community data from release-window records, so the current in-game Notebook wins if it differs.
Repair report: one screw remains floating after disassembly
An August 26 Steam report describes a screw left floating after every other XI-box part has been removed. The post does not establish the installed build or a reliable fix. If this happens on 1.0.015, keep a separate save and capture the exact layer, screw and task counter. Do not buy replacement parts merely to clear that screw. This repair symptom is distinct from a competition that fails to finish.
Competition reports reviewed August 28
Players still describe two distinct failures: storage drives that cannot be attached, and a motherboard corner screw that stops responding after a failed attempt. One reply says switching to another competition and returning helped; another says the problem returns despite leaving. This disagreement matters: retrying is a reported workaround, not a confirmed 1.0.015 fix. Preserve the pre-event save and capture which part or screw stops responding. Do not confuse this competition state with the normal-repair ghost screw report above.
