Xbox One X - Cleaning it the Right Way!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Xbox One X - Cleaning it the Right Way! The outside of the Xbox One X game console is fairly easy to clean. You'll just need some sort of brush and/or canned air to remove any dust buildup. Also, you'll want to make sure that you've located the console in a well ventilated area. Be especially careful that nothing is right up against the sides of the console as that is where the intake air comes in.
When it comes to the inside of the Xbox One X the things to check are the same as with the Xbox One S (as well as the PS4 slim and PS4 pro). The fan and the heat sink are generally the two main items that need to be cleaned. You can use the same brush and canned air to complete this cleaning.

Hey guys! Let me know if you have any questions. What should my next video be about?
can you please give a tip about how to fix the lan caable port on ps4 pro, mine is out :(
Only way to fix it would be to remove it and replace it with another. Not an easy job for most people.
well, I guess I should send it to a professional. too bad I live in Algeria, otherwise i would have sent it to you. Thanks for the reply. You're awesome. (y)
No problem. Hope you can find someone near you.
What error?

Hey you just made my life easier, thanks pal
Thanks guys!
I have also heard that it is better to suck the dust with a vacuum rather than blowing it around with pressurized air since dust molecules can be incredibly tiny (smaller than water) and potentially get pushed further inside the components. I am more than happy to hear someone disprove this logic though! =D
@@FrankyBmagic Vacuums generate static and this can be deadly for electronics, I suggest you don’t use a vacuum.
Is there different sizes of tx8 screws? Looking for the proper set to buy to complete this task
Screwdrivers*
So my Xbox one x started off really quiet, 2 years later (never cleaned it) and it sounds louder than a perfectly clean PS4 pro
For real?? I’ve never seen a noisy Xbox one X I’ve had mine 2 years as well
@@TheBezerker14 mine is noisy to I think it's because of the thermal paste wearing out
same
Lol
mine is so quiet now i can hear hard drive head reading
This needs to be a main video my Xbox used to shut off constantly until I figure it out that there was dust blocking the airflow so I bought some computer duster and went to town glad to say my Xbox x works perfectly now thank god
Did you open the console up or did you just dust it along the vents
Excellent tutorial, my dad just cleaned my mums Xbox one x for the first time ever, and it was full of crap, easy to take the Xbox apart by following the guide, but the cleaning process took some time, and my dad had to keep learning off the video to make sure he put all the things back correct! But brilliant video.
X is very well built
So i wanna get this the last one i had was the 360 and they would always get the red ring does this do that or did they fix it
@@jeremiahisrael8890 No sir it does not. They fixed that a while ago. Take care of it like in this video and you are almost guaranteed to have no issues through its life.
Except for the disc drive which isnt reading my disc anymore. Not even a year old
@@jeremiahisrael8890 Bruh they fixed this with the Xbox 360 slime
@@jordancup5802 so the xbox 360 slim doesnt get red ring of death
Thanks man I was able to take apart my Xbox and clean out my vents and heat sink within 30ish minutes. I still cannot believe how quiet it runs now it used to be a fricken jet engine in my room 😂 now I can barely even hear it
Watching this in 2020 and 2021 I’ve been buying consoles like crazy of all sorts from pawn shops. Been so lucky to find special edition consoles like the one in this video. Also lucky that all of them still have their warranty void stickers. Now thanks to you, all my consoles are squeaky clean !! Thanks
Great video! My XboxOne X that I puchased used was running hot and the fan was on high speed all the time. It was intimidating at first but I knew that it needed to be taken apart and cleaned. I followed the video step by step and was able to get it cleaned in no time.
I bought my xbox one x second hand a few years ago and it pretty much always had crashing issues with some games
Today I decided to rewatch this video and give the fan a good cleaning so I had to go all the way to the last step, but guess what's not crashing anymore
Many thanks :)
What not crashing no more?
With my luck I’d break the console doing it this way. I’m just gonna clean the side vents
TimmyTTv if you have an s it happened to me too slapping the thing worked well enough to turn it back on for the mean time eventually it met its demise and never turned back on or loaded any games so xbox one x i got and now i’m watching this video to make sure i take the upmost care of it to prevent that again lol
I thought the same but it was either this or beg Microsoft to take care of it off warranty somehow just because of some dust? So I just sucked it up and did it and you have no idea how easy it is it's like opening a brief case and now it doesn't sound like it wants to fly away
TimmyTTv mine started doing this only got it a week
@@massecurity404 It's not that easy. Replacing the inside thing back into bottom case was tricky for me.. and so was replacing the top cover. I broke my Nexus 6P'sv display cable in haste..so was very careful doing this.
right?! or id lose all the friggin screws..
After 4 years, I finally cleaned it, and this video was very helpful, tanks, and keep this videos going. Much love
Helpful but you left out the hardest part. Putting the case back on lol
I'm literally stuck on that right now
I’m 17 years old and it took me a solid 3 minutes
@@fandests yeah I'm 15. Took a couple minutes of fighting with it the next day and it went on super easy
Lol just watch the video backwards 😂😂
@@fandests I went that fast with fixing my Nexus 6P and broke the display cable. Advice you to go a bit slow.
Great video! My daughter was suffering with the xbox shutting down on certain games (with an overheating warning) and a fan that sounded like a jet engine. Followed the steps and even though most of the console was quite clean, i followed the steps right into the interior (by removing the fan) and there was the issue... there was a large build up up dust right under the fan on the heatsink. Cleaned it all out and the console is now super quiet and doesn't overheat. Thanks a million! (from one very happy daughter)
My Xbox can’t even run Roblox of all games lol
i know it’s been 6 years since you posted this but thanks a lot for the help on cleaning my xbox!
I really want to do this but I also want to be able to use my X1X afterward...
I thought my toddler had stuffed something in the disc drive because I could hear some kind of rubbing every time I turned it on or hit the eject button. And your video showed just how simple it was. I ended up pulling the disk drive out and apart and sure enough, there was a new shirt tag in it lol.
For those of you still having problems after you clean it leave the top cover off and install a secondary fan! I used a small fan out of an old Xbox to blow air in the side! It amazes me after all these years Xbox can't make an easy clean fan! Because dismantling your entire Xbox to clean the fan is fun
Planned obsolescence, consoles these days are very likely designed to expire, about 5 to 7 years with next gen release
Such a pleasant console, very quiet and runs smoothly. Only issue is that the interior is not easy to access. My Ps4 Pro is the opposite, it’s as simple as lifting the lid, no screws or anything like that.
I swear the hardest part was getting the top part of the case back on🤣
It is 🤣 that was a struggle until I looked it up
Great tutorial, definitely use an air duster over vacuum since it clears the dust way more effectively. I got an electric one and never have to pay for cans again.
Link to where I can buy one please?
@@CarsOverPeople agreed
Thanks a lot! I've just finished the cleaning with your tutorial and it was pretty easy!
Thanks for the video, I followed this and got my sons xbox one x working perfectly after months of it just randomly shutting down. He's so happy right now.
LIFE SAVER!!! I had a issue with eject noise dinging at random on or off. Did a cleaning and no more ding. there was a pincherbug inside causing problems
Thank you for the how to. My Xbox is now finely quiet after months off almost overheating. It wasn’t that dusty but it did the job. I just used a straw to blow out the dust.
Very helpful. Mine was caked up fully with dust and pet hair. It was turning off every 20 minutes.
I opened it up, brushed it with a small dusting brush and hoovered it all up with the brush head of the hoover and it’s all working fine and the airplane sound of my Xbox taking off has stopped 🤣
You just saved me from taking apart my Xbox thank you
Hmph, I’ll just clean it like the beginning and avoid the rest.
Same
Hate that it's a pain in the ass my ps4 is easier to clean no tools needed
You open it. You see perfection. That console is pure beauty
Cleaned and repasted after 2 years of playing. When i plugged and open my favourite game bf5 which heats up my console and fans go crazy, i realized i cannot hear the fan anymore *yay* and i tought i didn't plug the fan but after a while i hear a faint fan noise i am amazed how cleaning and repasting works... It is perfectly healty now.
Great video. If someone want to open its Xbox One x, remember to mark all screw's holes, that would be helpful during assembling console after all.
How do we mark it? Using what?
@@gogadev I've done it by printing letter next to every single hole, which means how long screw should get back there.
So 4 example L - long, S - short and M - Medium.
I've marker it by permanent marker. ;)
@@bartomiejwojtera4573 oh ok a permanent marker. Is your one x still working fine?
@@gogadev you're joking! But I marked the metal case of my xbox. I didn't mess any electrical parts of my console.
It's still working great, has got new front ZIF, ssd disk and it May be that it will soon have some New CPU paste.
Still disunderstand why you're laughing at me. :D
@@bartomiejwojtera4573 no not joking. I just wanted to know. After all these years is your one x still working.
Thanks! Have had my xbox for about 7 years, and she was DUUUUUUSTYYY! Finally got around to cleaning it for the cyberpunk update!
Hey Steve I’m guessing opening it like how you have voids warranty ????
Technically, no. Legally you can remove warranty stickers now.
TronicsFix really ??? If that’s so then that makes maintaining your systems so much better without the worry of voiding ur warr!!
what i read is you can't open ur xbox if you have a warranty.. you may wanna talk to whomever ur warrenty is with first
my warranty only lasts for a year, I've had my console for about 3 now, guess I got nothing to lose by cleaning it myself now!
@@puffpuffpuff No they aren’t. I get them all the time when I buy a new game, or console. The store gave it to me.
I did not have any fancy screwdrivers in my toolkit but the brush tip really helped. THANKS!
Was finally time to clean my One X. Thanks for posting this, (4 years ago HAHA!) it was very easy to follow.
Probably a good idea to include reassembly in the video as well
Thanks, brother! My unit is running whisper quiet again- like new. Now I can hand it down to my lady with confidence.
This helped so much!! I've owned my Xbox for about 8 years and uuuhhh... Damn after I followed your steps I cleaned this thing and now it runs like a dream... It's much quieter now 😅 was wondering why the thing sounded like an airplane haha. Thanks man!!!
Straight to the point and extremely thorough, great video
My Xbox sounded insanely high with the fans going every single time I loaded up a game
so I copied this whole video and oh my god it has saved me from buying a new Xbox now my Xbox is so quiet !
really helped ! Will subscribe right now
Thank you! 😊🌸❤️
Thanks man , helped me with my two years of dust build up in my Xbox , it was very crazy but this video helped me and it’s been working perfectly for over 8 hours without shutting off cause of it being to hot , I appreciate it ! Sub and saved video 😎
This is my fear I’ve had mine since 2015? Used to wipe dust off but been lo time and never cleaned inside
Xbox was over heating followed the video and Works like new. Sounds nice and quiet 👌 wasnt too bad to put back together higly recommend doing.
Where has the time gone’ I remember buying the One S as it was far smaller than the one gave away my launch day One’
Somehow that was 9 years ago🤯
You should zoom in on the fiddly parts like the cable clip so people can see what you are doing without breaking it. Also putting that back together.
Xbox sounded like Gatwick Airport not long ago watched this and its like it's brand new again 👌🏽
Thank you so much I didn’t have to open my console i just used a vacuum and it works perfectly it use to shut off and get really loud but I gave it plenty of space this help so much I subscribe
damn. I don't see a single video on youtube where I can see how to assemble the xbox again. putting the final cover back is a nightmare!
I have a dust cover i bought on ebay specifically built for the xbox x console , i always have it on after every time i play it 👍🏼, keeps it spotless .
Just wanted to say thanks a lot my xbox one x fan was being really loud on Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2019 watched this video did everything to clean up my fan that was really dusty and helped a lot keep up the awesome work
Thanks a lot . I followed instructions and bam!!!! It’s back up and running smooth . Nice video tutorial will definitely be back if I need ya for this kind of dilemma .
If you take Top off I pretty sure you void warranty.
If you remove the warranty sticker you void the warranty.
David Cole as long as u don’t tell them it’s fine 😊
There's no warranty sticker I've seen, but I've seen sticker's over the two torx screws in the back
Julian Robbins yeah that’s the warranty
thank you very much
everyone should do this at least 1x / year
Perfect video brotha!! I had no problem getting it cleaned and looking back at it to get it together and it worked!🙌🏽
Great video, c;leaned everything, still getting the insufficient ventilation error. Dammit.
Probs need new thermal past
Paste*
Very good tutorial. I love how you explain every step of the process.
Especially the put back together portion
@@aidanpfielsticker11 lol. It isn't that hard. Just need to be patient and be super careful.
Now reassemble it 😂😭
Should be a video coming up about the advantages or not, of adding dust filters on xbox one and ps4 soon after this one. ; )
voyager is there such things as dust filters for the ps4 and xbox one x ?
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I used this video to figure out a few things I need to fix my Xbox one x that I gave to my two older kids. I thank you for that because my almost 2-year-old processed to put coins into the Xbox through the disc drive. I was lucky I had the tools to get it open and such to fix the issue of why the Xbox wouldn't read any movies or discs.
thank you so much my xbox you overheat and turn off before even loading a game i opened it cleaned it and now its working like its brand new
I like that you can clean it after opening the first 2 screws
Thank you for video just cleaned mine .Fan looked ok but thought I will check heat sink and that was well blocked up.I think you just saved my XBOX X from dying.
The only thing to say is really nice explanation. You only missed to mention that there are two different types screws holding the top shield.
Thanks man, now I need to go to Walmart to get an air dust can so I can do this as efficient as possible.
Thank u so much for this video I just finished cleaning the inside of my console and everything worked out in the end. Time for apex legends baby
My Xbox One X has been shutting off randomly so I'm hoping this will fix it. It says it's overheating but yet it's out in open area.
Ok, I have just "cleaned" my Xbox. I couldn't find significant dust deposits other than a minimal film on some surfaces, even though I haven't cleaned my Xbox ever before since I bought it 5 years ago.
I simply just wasted half an hour of my time.😅
But great video, it made it really easy!
That’s.....quite a lot of work. With today’s prices for the X I think simply buying a fresh one would be the more economic option 😉. JK of course but I do wish Microsoft would allow easier access to the internals like Sony did with the Pro. Thanks for the informative video 👍
It not that bad, plus it’s built like a brick so less likely to break when lugging it around
So iv’e opened everything now how do i rebuild it back-
I appreciate this video I am going to get a second hand Xbox One X console and before this video I had no idea what is ok or not ok and what work best and what does not work so great.
Directions unclear stuck in a microwave
Thanke you so much man your a life saver my xbox hasnt Been working for 2 months now and i finally watched your video and its fixed thanke you so much❤️
Amazing Dude! How do I put the Black cover back on??? Last piece of the puzzle won't slide back!
Thanks for this! Used it mainly to replace a faulty PS but also cleaned the fan and heat sink saw 2 birds with one stone.
I put it back together and I have two screws left.....
Why are you blowing the air/dust INTO the side vents? Shouldn’t you vacuum them instead?
This is exactly what I was thinking. Why do people use air. You're more like to push dust further into the system. Vaccum should be the preferred method.
It's good to see you again. Cool guide.
Thanks man!
Regular torx bits will work fine. Security bits are *not* required.
Getting a series X soon, but til then I can at least make sure my one X is nice and clean for when I give it to someone else
Taking out that first ribbon is easier said than done I’ve been trying for 10 minutes
I'm here because my XIX cuts off every couple days - when I turn it back on its says it might be due to lack of ventilation. But its in an open area with nothing around it so I'm trying to clean it now - thinking its just dusty.
Is it working now? I have the exact same problem
@@ramonpablito9154 it's dust buildup inside that has sensors that picks it up, every month I use a can of compressed air and blow out the vents and that seemed to work, hasn't cut off on me anymore since.
@@briengakaplan-b1550 i just cleaned it its working fine now. I was getting hella worried it crashed every 20mins.
The thing is about Denzel Washington is his way of acting seems very very real
Old mate has no idea regarding cleaning clogged radiators!! Usual practice is to reverse airflow. Would be nice to have some clearer instruction for removal of ribbon cable???? Otherwise somewhat helpful.
Is there a video to re assemble please?
I foolishly bought one from a roach and cat infested woman for 150 with 3 good games to sell and I'm regretting it bad. The smell is outrageous!!! Not to mention the legion of bug parts. I got the plastic body off and disassembled it. I can't seem to find any videos on that part. Anyways I'm soaking it and scrubbing with dish detergent and vinegar. Then a good 91% alcohol rub down and doused with Febreeze. This is all after I've already left the console in a sealed bag with HELLA good smelling chemical products for over a week! I'll reassemble the body before I go any further with the video or else I'm gonna forget how it goes back together 😂 I appreciate the video breakdown here it's a life saver!
I got a bit lucky with the basic disassembly. I didnt have the T8 screws, but I was able to still maneuver the shell off with the two screws still attached and blow the fan. I would not reccomend this however, as I was really afraid of the connector ripping out
Thanks for the help. I’ve done all of this, put it back together, and now it won’t turn on anymore.
To be clear, I went to college for electrical engineering. I know how to follow instructions and handle electronics. I followed this cleaning tutorial to a T, being extremely careful in every step. This guy explains everything very well and it's easy to follow.... except how to put it all back together. So, I put it all back exactly in reverse from his steps. Everything seemed great, until I tried to hit the eject disk button. Yeah, that doesnt work anymore.
@@rockapartie I made double sure that everything was snug and very carefully moved. But I will go back in and triple check the ribbon cable.
USE A MASACARA WAND!!!
I couldn’t properly clean my fan cuz my fingers were too fat so my sister handed me one hoping it would work and it did!!!
It worked wonders❤❤
Good tutorial but don’t trust myself enough to do it
Appreciate the video, but would have been suuuper nice to show putting it back together. Struggling with the little white strip that goes into the locking tab
Thanks, great vid ❤ owned my one x since launch. It was very silent back then. Past six months its been loud as f... I cleaned it fully and now its much more silent once again.
Did u take it apart or just used canned air? Ive had mine since launch too and its like a plane and it turns off every 10 mins
@@rxxbg7749 i took it fully apart. Canned air cant remove the dust wich gets stuck between heat sync and fan (08:15 in the vid is where most of the dust is going to be) just followed instructions in this vid. Found a "hairball" allmost size on an mouse in the place they show in 08:15. If you take it apart canned air is just fine. But without disassembly it does not help.
It would be helpful to have a video showing how to put it back together. ESPECIALLY how to reconnect the locking ribbon. I didn't even intentionally unplug it bc I couldn't figure out how to disconnect it. It came disconnected accidentally. So that was really confusing trying to figure out how to get that back together. I thought my xbox was screwed! And I'd already had a bad night after taking my ps4 pro apart and disconnecting the power cord from the motherboard and completely destroying it 😢 so I was having a panic attack when that ribbon came apart and I didn't know if it was broke, reconnectable or what! Thank goodness it went back together
Thanks for this just bought a replacement X robot white and it was filthy inside and making a load fan noise not anymore thank you
i’ve just done this - my xbox has turned back on but won’t connect to my controller anymore? any advice?
One superthanks on the way. My son is a really happy camper! Thanks! :-)
THANK YOU!!!! Nice descripion. Good sound and well cut video.
Beware!!!!!....I nearly ruined my one x following this video. You should clearly state that the ribbon on the front of the console needs to be pulled down and that the plastic part isnt meant to come off. This part was very fragile and you should be clear if your going to do these kind of videos. Do not try to click off the plastic part. The ribbon slots in and can be easily removed be undoing the lock and then pulling the ribbon down. I was luckily able to super glue the plastic part back on.
matthew sales what happens if you break that ?
JETPAC MOZi I think you wouldn’t be able to turn the Xbox on from the Xbox button on the console
What tools do I need to open up my console? I need that 😮
No no nooooo I’ve been down this road thinking I was mr handy man .. it never ends well !!
Man if this isn’t the truth 😂
Ended well for me. But didn't when I tried fixing my phone.
Just damaged my ribbon cable but how fortunate It still works
FYI professionals use Vaccumes not dust cans that just move dust to other areas.
