  • Cleaning your Xbox prolongs the life of it, especially the model we talk about today. I removed the dust in a previous video I did on my Xbox One, hence why it's not so dusty in this video.

      The best way to do it is to insert at like a 45 degree angle to put all the hinges together and then force it in on the right side opposite of the side you took the plastic cover off and it should just sit in place in the back hinges very easily. Took me a while too😂but finally figured it out

      @JoeyDoesTech  3 года назад +6

      It's one of the hardest parts. You won't need to put TOO much force as most of it is technique. You want to try your best to push the case up and over rather than just straight force. Does that make sense? Let me know how you get on!

    If anyone has issues with disc's not going in or ejecting, even after using the manual eject button, I had those exact issues. I took the Xbox apart and pulled the disc drive out, pulled the cover off the disc drive and found that the pulley system that actually turns to pull the disc in was loose. The belt on one of the pulleys was loose and I realized the pulley itself had popped out of its proper location. I pushed it back in place with a flat head, the belt tightened and I reassembled the Xbox, and now the disc drive works fine.

    For anyone who doesn't have a proper prying tool....
    Here's some potential alternatives that you might have laying around your house that can also likely do the job.
    A fingernail kit: the metal tool that cleans underneath your nails.
    The spatula from a Cricut tool set.
    ***(So long as you make sure that it doesn't bend or damage the spatula when prying as it is only intended to lift lightweight vinyl and cardstock.
    Not gaming console parts lol)***
    A flat part of a metal hairclip
    The top metal piece on nail clippers that flips around. (So long as it's thin enough to get in between the pieces)
    A thin butter knife.
    For the makeup people...
    If you've got a tarte lash applicator tool, or similar, this will possibly do the trick.
    Just be careful you don't scratch the finish on your lash applicator in the process.
    A sturdy set of brow tweezers might work, too.

      I was so scared to open this one! I already scratched it from the video before which is why it was a bit easier to do it this time round. All I can say is just make sure you watch enough videos until you feel confident enough to do it :)
      For me I didn't play my Xbox One that much so it wasn't a huge deal to me, but can see why it would be such a big deal to someone who plays on it a lot! Best of luck, let me know how it goes when you get round to it :)

    When your putting the final shell on there’s a much easier way if you look under the top shell there’s a bunch clips holding the top and front shell together. Unclip tham and the front should come free from the top then put the front shell on first and the top second. Hope this helps

    I haven't really gone to open and clean out my console (I just vacuum the outside vents every once in a while). Now after my game got super laggy and unresponsive, the console will turn on but the fan has no spinning sound and the screen is black. Is it too late to just open it up and clean out the dust? Is my console just broken now?
    EDIT:
    Also, once I open it up and blow the dust out using compressed air, would it be wise to use a vacuum to clean out any dust chunks? Or are the motherboards too delicate for a vacuum (no direct contact, just having a narrow-ended vacuum hose hovering an inch above the inner console.)?

    So those Torx screws that you removed, are those the "security" ones with the little dimple/tit in the center of them? I can't quite tell from the video so I might as well ask before I start tearing my Xbox open. I have the proper Torx bit sizes but I just don't have any bits with "holes" in them to slide over that dimple in the screw.

    • @JoeyDoesTech
      @JoeyDoesTech  3 года назад +2

      Howdy :) the only ones I used was a Torx 8 and Torx 10. I had no issues with these screw bits whilst dissembling/resembling. I think I know the screws you are on about as I had one in the PS4 slim version, however I couldnt locate any of those on the Xbox. In fact, the Torx 8/10 still worked on that anyways :)

It's been working fine until I decided to clean the console.
      Maybe I did something wrong to the console? Maybe it's detecting some kind of problem that it's shutting off as a safety precaution? FML guess I gotta buy another power pack.

      I make the front flush, then try and stretch the top over the clip at the front of the Xbox one if that's what you mean? It's alot easier to detach the top case and front panel, that way it just clips in :) (I've learnt that from the comments on this video!)

    "IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING THE TOP BACK ON:
    take the front panel (the one with disk and power buttons) off from the top panel (one with the vent for the fan.) Put on the small front panel on FIRST and THEN put on the larger top panel. It may take some wiggling but it is FAR easier than just putting the whole thing on normally. HOPE THIS HELPED"

    My xbox refused to play any disc, this helped me so much to clean it for the first time since 2016 when I bought it. After the clean it is working 100% again. Thank you so much.
