Former 360E owner here. I dont know what kind of psychopath thought it was a good idea to make a 360 ON THE XBOX ONE RELEASE but its still a very good console, had so much memories with it. For anyone wondering, I gave it to my cousin after his 360 S broke.
Got my 360E jesterday as a Gift of a Friend of mine....opened it today and it was Clean like the one in the Video.....i was astonished 😊 No cleaning was needed.....only a new harddrive case and SSD harddrive and i need to buy a Controller 😂
Cheers pal just got this 360E for the collection and just finished opening it and replacing the thermal paste and closed it up. This helped a lot thanks.
Thanks for the guide. Wasn't too dirty, but thermal paste was definitely old, and the fan was ramping up a lot. Much quieter now. The only part i messed up is i cross threaded a fan screw because my screwdriver was too bulky. It is tight and holds the fan in place but a problem for future me if the fan goes bad. 😂
Just relaying something that helped me with the x-clamp, there are automobile trim removal tools that has one particular tool that works perfectly for the clamp, you will recognize it if you've seen the actual x-clamp tool, basically identical.
Very good guide and crips. Nice camera angles. THank you as it helped mine to clean and re-paste the processor but I used thermal PTM from honeywell rather than normal thermal paste.
Change the rubber that opens and closes the tray. Or if it looks good, boil the rubber in some hot water for about 10 minutes and it will shrink a little. The stretching over the years is what is causing it to not open and close properly
Brilliant tutorial. I used to clean and work on my PlayStation Portable until one day I broke it by accident. I was crushed, but it was an accident, all i can do is accept that it happened and learn from it. A couple months later I accidentally ruined my Dualshock 4's joystick, at this point I had previously had experience with fixing it as well. It was at that point that I decided I am done trying to fix/clean them. So now I find myself in a situation, do I go to my ex's boyfriend who has a diploma in that stuff or the local phone shop whose owner is acquainted to my mom.
That’s most probably an RROD issue, Red Ring of Death. This is usually repaired by reballing the CPU but cannot be done at home without professional tools
I'm thinking of using this video as a guide to clean up mine but I'm very nervous, I never opened a console in my life! Any usual beginner mistakes I should remind myself over before trying it?
My Xbox 360 e’s disc tray is completely broken. Won’t eject but I can pull it out. Is there something I need to replace besides just trying to fix it up?
Looks like the 360 e is a little tricker to open I just got 2 Minto white 360s I took apart and replaced the thermal paste in them run like brand new I have a 360 e at some point I'm gonna dig into and do the same thing
Do you have any recommendations for the thermal paste also how coated should the cpu be? Like can any thermal paste be used or is there a specific one that’s best or needed?
There are some revisions regarding CPU, newer versions have smaller CPU, in terms of opening and cleaning they’re basically the same. In terms of performance the newer, the better
You missed something when you assembled it... try to reassemble it correctly by following the video. The cleaning process can not damage the console unless it's assembled incorrectly
Ive emptied and cleaned the entirety of my xbox and it still wont turn on ita cabke is just orange no flash, you you have any idea in whe i could do? Ive umplugged and replugged and tried to turn it on over and over again. I put everything vack in aswell
As far as I understand, your XBox din’t turn on. Cleaning has nothing to do with hardware failure, the cleaning is supposed to make it work better as long as the console is fully working. Did your XBox turn on before the cleaning?
@@YesterdaysTech hi yesterday tech i have a xbox 360e but when i play the games specially the open world games i see some lagging and some bugs in the game should i clean my console? As i know i didn't clean my console for a long time so I don't know if the problem can be solved whit cleaning it
Cleaning can help because without it, hardware components can be in thermal throttling, so the Xbox doesn't run at its full capacity, then you may experience stuttering
having an issue with my xbox 360 E where the console turns on and then almost immedietly shuts off but with no flashing indicators on the power supply, sometimes the power supply light goes off and you can hear the sound of a fan start spinning
Hey dude, i have a question, my xbox360 E stopped working all of a sudden, do you think it would start working again if i cleaned it? I've had it for about 10 years and i never cleaned it, it's really dusty and full of dirt inside, do you think it would work again if i cleaned it? Edit: By the way, my xbox is turning on, but it's not turning on or launching on the TV, i tried using different HDMI cables and connecting to different TVS, but the xbox is still not getting launched even though the green power light on the console and that power box is appearing, i love this Xbox, please help
@@YesterdaysTech alright, I've got another question. Would it work if i bought the exact same xbox360 E. But i removed the hard drive and replace it with the old xbox360's hard-drive? Would all the data,achievements and games get transferred to the other xbox if i do that?
Usually achievements and such things are saved online. If so, there is no problem, you just need to log in. If you never logged in on your previous XBOX, I don't think everything will be moved to your new console
@@YesterdaysTech Well, problem is that we have a problem with our xbox so we don't have xboxlive. But I'm pretty sure there must be an error since my brother played it just about 2 hours before we found out it didn't work anymore and everything was normal, there was no overheat and that red ring of death didn't appear. Does switching the hard-drives even change anything at all?
I made a lot of progress in several games and i don't want all of the progress to be erased. Also, y'know the screen you can open on TV to check if your xbox is JTAG or the other thing (forgot the name)? I remember checking that by pressing disk button under the power button on the console, but even so there appears to be no signal. Is there a chance that the problem is in the HDMI insert button?
My X360 was not loud but bit old so decided to sent it for service (thermal paste and cleaning). Console service guy put new thermal paste and gave it a clean but when it arrived back I hear very annoying loud noise when console is on. Seems like a fan problem but unsure if that's not wrongly done thermal paste or something like this? Here's a short vid: ruclips.net/video/A3-fnqgSbF8/видео.html All help would be much appreciated.
Thermal Paste is measured in watts per meter-Kelvin, that specifies the rate of the heat transfer. W/mK The more W/mK the thermal paste has, the better conductivity and heat transfer, the better results. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut has 12.5 W/mK while Arctic MX-5 has 6 W/mK. So at least in theory, Grizzly Kryonaut should be a lot better. There is thermal paste with only 2.5 W/mK out there. In your case I wouldn't be worried at this point, because out of service there shouldn't be any big difference between a poor thermal paste and a great thermal paste. The difference should be seen during the time. It's quite hard to tell what cause the noise, maybe there's dust in the cooler fan, maybe if it was not cleaned carefully, is not centered anymore.
I have the same xbox 360 you have and it has a issue where it turns off right away and something it says on for at least an hour or 2 and it overheats is there a way I can easily fix it
@@YesterdaysTech well I did clean the vents and when I let it cool for awhile it still turned off right away and sometimes when I turn it on it'll stay on for at least for an hour then turns off
@@YesterdaysTech originally I thought it was the power supply that was the problem so I ordered a new one and a power cable that goes into the old 360 power supply and and they still led the same problem
All of my Xbox games all crashes, For no reason; I've wiped them off with soft cloth, restarted the xbox itself, but I still get the "unreadable disk" error. So, I came here as a last resort; but if it isn't the console can someone give my a suggestion what could it be?

Thx bro, I made my first cleanup since i got the Xbox (2014) almost 10 years, thank you very much for the video
I've never opened a console and did a re-pasting job and this guided be perfectly without any problems. Thanks!
Just relaying something that helped me with the x-clamp, there are automobile trim removal tools that has one particular tool that works perfectly for the clamp, you will recognize it if you've seen the actual x-clamp tool, basically identical.
Thank you, first clean of my Xbox 360 since 2017 😁 this video really helped and my Xbox 360 isnt as loud as before
Thank you I just opened my Xbox 360 e successfully using this video! I got to 4:13 to look at my motherboard
Cheers just done mine. Working a treat and so quiet.
Very good guide and crips. Nice camera angles. THank you as it helped mine to clean and re-paste the processor but I used thermal PTM from honeywell rather than normal thermal paste.
Thank you! I just tore down and cleaned my 360 e and a cleaning was all it needed to fix the issues I had.
Havent cleaned it since we got it (circa 2013) it recently stopped working mid game, so i figured why not?
Thanks. Great guide, task completed successfully.
Your voice could lullaby me to sleep. Also good vid. Thanks.
Thanks bro made my life a lot easier, excellent.
This worked really well i didn't have any thermal paste sadly but it worked my xbox isn't exploding so yay.
You should seriously consider getting some thermal paste if you haven’t already
Took mine apart repasted it an RGH 1.2ed it. Good tutorial!
Thanks bro i was just bored and decided to clean it. Thanks for he walk through
Top video! No problem when you follow the steps in this video! 👍
Thank you so much bro, u did it in 20 minutes, I did it in 3 hours lol! But again, thank you!
I'm glad it's perfectly working
tip: there's a sim pin sized hole underneath the N in the words "Serial Number", it makes it easier when opening the case
never even heard of a torx 8 wrench until now
I gotta issue mine would keep having the tray opening and closing and this the first problem all my life 😭

Best clean up ever it even fixed it because there was dust on the mother board
Had mine for close to seven years and just re-pasted.. old paste was straight dust.
My 360E won't fully turn on, it just flashes red and runs the fan for a second before powering off. Do you have a fix for this?
That’s most probably an RROD issue, Red Ring of Death. This is usually repaired by reballing the CPU but cannot be done at home without professional tools
great guide! i cleaned my xbox first time and all works! thx
1:43 any tips on how to place the pry tool on the latch. i don’t wanna break the plastic.
Thanks, patient is alive, tho one piece of plastic clamp broke lol, no idea how to pry it open without damaging anything....
Thankfully it works
Remember to only get one that's made before June 2014 if you plan to RGH it.
Hey man at 1:39 what’s the best and easiest way to open it without breaking the clips. Without the pry tool you use what would be the best replacement
Probably a sturdy bobby pin
Tweezer could work too

Hello, I liked the video it is very helpful, I only have one question, it is not necessary to use an antistatic bracelet?
You don't need an antistatic bracelet if you have some grounded metal you can touch nearby
Could you answer one question what is the Grey stuff you put on the chip under the cooler
It’s thermal paste or thermal compound
So if I didn't put it on will the heating cause it to overheat?
@@thetwoextraveryawsomeboys5249 yes
@@YesterdaysTech is it necessary?
@@abdelmounaim_Yes or else your xbox will keep overheating
Don't take out the heatsink screws to remove the board...wtf..anyone not thermal pasting skip that step and unscrew the fan and clean it instead.
That was so smooth and awesome
7:59 ew how does a bug even get in there its completely covered by the fan
So what do you all need just a screw driver, flat head, and thermal paste?
This May be beyond my pay grade. I'll need to be supervised by someone who knows more.
Awhile back my 360 red ringed would cleaning it out make a difference?
Do you have any recommendations for the thermal paste also how coated should the cpu be? Like can any thermal paste be used or is there a specific one that’s best or needed?
A thin layer should be enough, there's no need for too much. They're all pretty much the same, it's not a big difference between them
@@YesterdaysTech thanks man👍
Will this help my xbox 360 it isn't starting@@YesterdaysTech
They made three different versions what’s the difference between this one and the other two versions Or are they all basically the same
There are some revisions regarding CPU, newer versions have smaller CPU, in terms of opening and cleaning they’re basically the same. In terms of performance the newer, the better
Honestly to clean the motherboard could I just use a new soft brush toothbrush dipped in 99% iso?
Yes, that would be totally fine
what thermal paste do you recommend for this xbox?
Can I ask is it important to put thermal paste back on the cpu
@@thetwoextraveryawsomeboys5249 yes it you wipe off the one it had before It is definitely nesscary or heating problems may occur
I recommend the brand ARTIX
arctic mx6 or Honeywell Ptm 7950 (it's a phase change pad)
I have one piece of rubber like for screw, it's black and it looks like target symbol, do you know where that goes? :)
Do you suggest a certain set to buy with the tools needed to disassemble?
No, it doesn't matter
What's the exact metal tool you used to open the console tabs?
I used a feeler gauge
I cleaned it but my Xbox is not working and green light is not showing and console is not starting
You missed something when you assembled it... try to reassemble it correctly by following the video. The cleaning process can not damage the console unless it's assembled incorrectly
