Helped me a lot. And don't skip any steps, the one with the fan and cooling is really important. And don't worry about possibly breaking some plastic pins, when everything is back in tact, it doesn't affect the console's work.
Definitely helped me today as my Xbox was severely clogged up.
That's awesome. I'm glad I could help, and thank you for checking out my video. :D
@Patrick Zev stop copy and pasting the same massage on every video idiot
Never cleaned in like 7 years
Yes mine too

Just a heads up for anyone watching this in the future, you'll need a T10 as a T8 is a touch too small. That said thank you for this tutorial, it's helped me clean my "new" 360 i picked up at a yard sale.
Wow! Thank you so much... Your tutorial helped me to completely overhaul a second hand system which was clunky, slow, and full of dust. Now runs really quiet and smooth
Thank you for the guide, it was extremely helpful. For those of us that have never taken apart our 360 before I ran into a bit of a snafu when putting it back together that I think is helpful to mention for everyone... When reconnecting the cable that connects to the power button make sure to remove any little bit of dust before clipping it back in because I put it all back together and tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on so I opened it back up, cleaned that off and make sure it is all the way in... and it turned on no problem. I was concerned I caused an issue deeper in the machine so don't fret this may be what happened to you. Now its working like a charm!
ah man, wish i had read this before i assigned mine to the bin, i done exactly like you , turned on and it didnt seem to be getting power, assumed i had banjoed it completely
Thanks for this I just tried mine and it didn’t turn on
This is - by far - the best guide I've seen. Showing the sides before disassembly made all the difference.
That makes me very happy! I'm glad that I was able to help you out. 👍
Man, this video helped me a lot, my Xbox had stopped recognizing the hard drive. I was so close to shitting myself since they are kind of rare and expensive but a good cleaning later and it is back to business as usual. Good thing the hard drive is easy to take off and clean without needing to gut out the whole console.
How are xbox hard drives rare/expensive? Ik its been 2 years, but if anything the 2 years would have made them even more rare?
@@dragonslayerps4134 anything electronic in 2020/2021 was in short supply, and beside spare parts for the xbox 360 had been out of production for a while already, and the only thing you could find were parts someone gutted out of their old consoles.
While used components are easier to find, they are always a gamble if they are going to work or last, specially if they were heavily used or not taken care of, which you have no control if you buy used.
@@redcompanyINC fair enough
Great video! I got a used xbox 360 S at a second-hand bookstore, so I needed to clean it. I found I could also use a T10 Star (Hex) bit. T8 size doesn't come in standard drill bit sets, but T10 does. So if anyone is worried they won't have the right size bit, if you have a standard drill bit set, you'll be fine.
Thanks for the video man! You really helped me out with cleaning it. I hadn’t cleaned it in a good 8 years so safe to say it was pretty dusty.
My pleasure, Big Bad. 👍🏻
This is very helpful, i have a problem connecting the controller to the console for almost a month. I tried to clean it to see of it will refresh the console. Found out that the power button connection is not plugged in properly. Finally, my xbox is now working properly. Thanks!
Thanks for this Tutorial. :)
I bought one of these from Ebay, turns out the CD drive didn't read discs, some compressed air and time watching your video and I fixed it!
You earned a Sub!
I also finaly cleaned my xbox after 9 years and this video really helped me. Thanks for your help man
OMG thank you so much i have had my xbox 360 for 15 years and it finally works i havent used it for 4 years thank you
Bruh this is already super clean 😂
Thank you so much. This video was more comprehensive than any other video I've view over the past few days. In doing my own tear down, I missed a few things that were shown in your video. The next time I need to open up my 360, I'll feel more confident. Two thumbs up!
That makes me happy. Thank you. :D
my xbox360 not working
ive had my xbox slim since it came out and its been put through a lot, i havent used in a few years so i thought it was done for when it would start then shut back off but after a well needed cleaning of the console and ac adapter (which had a surprising amount of dead roaches in it) started like it was brand new. Thank you very much sir for helping me bring my consloe back from the dead
My pleasure, good sir. There is no better feeling than resurrecting a dead console.
THANK YOU so much, bother.
my first XBox 360 was having read problems, just a light touch of a q-tip to the drive lens and now good as new.
just needed help opening it, you saved me.
Thank you so much. Did my first console clean ever today on a console from the second hand store and cleaned up nicely!
THANK YOU. I just had the worst time trying to undo the clips holding the bottom plastic casing on, and this is the ONLY guide I could find that says anything about the pinhole under the sticker back there. You just saved my ass!
Thank you for the guide i haven’t cleaned mine in 10 years and this helped me a lot
You know it's about to be an engaging teardown video when it's actually full-length
I just did this and there's an easier way than popping all that plastic apart!
All you need is a small Flathead eyeglasses kit or just a small thin flathead. Press it through the big rectangle openings around the plastic as you will find when you pry in and outward you'll feel the tabs release, there's no need to pop off the middle plastic and break it.
Just cleaned my xbox! Thanks man! Super easy tutorial to follow I appreciate you!
Thanks a lot, this video was really helped me a lot..
btw, I tried to take off chrome directly instead of taking black plastic off first and it worked.
Thank you. You're tutorial helped. More thorough and correct way of doing this.
Just what I needed 😌👏🏼 thank you 🙏🏼
Brother thanks to you I was able to fix up my xbox that I hadn't cleaned since I got it and that was when it 1st came out no ring of death and everything is still perfect you my friend are amazing!!!
Thank you mate!
Cleaned my 360 right along with you and is sparkling clean now!
(remarkable though, it actually wasn't all that dusty... ^^)
YAY!, now I can play Cammand & Conquer 3 without my Xbox feeling like its gonna melt 😃
Just finally went ahead and did it the right way actually removing the annoying plastic things
I’m watching this just to see if I can’t fix my HDMI slot.
This beast is still hearting comments three years later. Nice
Best video I could ever find about this. Thank you so much, my Xbox 360 is clean as new again :)
@ريان مروة Is not that hard, you just want to make sure you don't brake or damage anything.
I have a old xbox 360 slim that really needs cleaning and one side cover disappeared(meaning you can literally see the inside of the console btw the Chrome part is still there and I don't know what happened to it because I was not the only owner of the console their has been like 2 people before me who owned it so idk what happened to it but whatever) and the other side cover is half on and half off so it should be easy to take apart and it has a lot(and I mean a lot) of dust in it and probably needs a thermal paste change yet somehow the thing still works fine and has never had overheating issues(maybe because both side cover are mostly gone meaning more air flow)but it does get hot pretty fast like the moment you turn it on you can put you hand on top of the fan and the thing is as hot as a heater but like I said before somehow it still works fine but to be honest I'm probably never going to clean it because I'm lazy but I still loved the video(also this is one of my biggest comments ever so yeah. Also another thing is your probably never going read this Vigerp but if you did it would be surprising because of how old this video is).
This video was amazing and super easy to follow ❤❤
thank you so much bro this video helped me so much. awesome tutorial because it's extremely easy to follow aside from a few times going off screen .
thank you for this video, it helped me a lot. I managed to self clean my old xbox full of dust!!!
My anxiety when removing the front face plate with the electrical cable was THROUGH THE ROOF!
Lmao I pulled it right off with force, I'm surprised it didn't ruin the cable xD.
(*Update*) Just put it back together and it still works LOL.
Im doin that rn and Im scared imma break it, I've had it since I was six
Mines got off
I ripped mines off too
and it came off nicely
my hands are now red and swollen xD
@@JolleyOnRS LOL you lucky son beetch.
Thanks for the tutorial! I was able to clean a whole colony of dust bunnies out of my Xbox 360 while watching this video.
In Soviet Russia you don't fix Xbox Xbox fix you
This made me laugh out loud! 😂
Can Xbox fix a marriage?
@@lex0h2 yes
The fuge
Thank you so much man, definitely the best guide on youtube, liked and subscribed😆
Nice and clean job
I used a leaf blower it worked pretty good
Ah cool
Thanks bro.
Just tore down the most nasty 360 with roaches everywhere inside and I kept wanting to give up but had your video and just pulled through after 2 hours got it back together and looks amazing thank you! First time doing a 360 only done 3d a lol
If you have thermal paste, definitely do change it. It helps a lot. If your Xbox 360 makes fan noise it’s definitely time to
Some parts were hard to understand but most of it helped a lot.
I slowly used a kitchen knife for the rubber for the tray it was fairly smooth
You just saved my xbox's life
Thank you I was able to follow & get the job done just wished you centered the camera on the technical hard to reach places instead of the angle getting cut off. Great tips in the video thanks again
Thank You, Very informative and got a real nice clean that was needed.
That is awesome, Robert! I'm happy that it helped you out, and I appreciate the kind feedback. =)
thanks alot i was stuck on that ribben cable eject nothing worked on that pannel no more thanks to you it now
This video was a godsend thank you
Thank you very much. Very helpful!
Great video helped me do my 360
9 years, it’s been nine years since I’ve had this Xbox & I’m FINALLY cleaning it. Smh oh well, at least I’ve learned a lot from this video, I’ll take care much more better of my Xbox ;;;;; The only bad thing that I found inside is that the rubber sealant broke here and there & is withered.
Do I buy a new one or just put a rubber bands around it?
Same here, since 2011 I've never cleaned it
@@recklesflam1ngo968 same bro, mine is dusty
same here too, I think I have it since 2010 tho, never cleaned it but I always kept it in a great condition until I got a new console, then I forgot about it
This saved my nier gestaltXD had dead pests i had to clean out of my used xbox. Thank you so much!
Thank you! My unit sounded like a helicopter taking off, much better now. Only had to say "wheres that go?" once when reassembling.
And by the way thank you for sharing this video it was very informative I was actually looking for a way to open up my Xbox 360 slim and you made that way easy for me
You are welcome. Thank you for the sub. :)
This guy is awesome. Definitely recommend subscribing to his channel helped me out a GREAT BIT Bc I haven’t cleaned my 360 since I bought it back in 2011. I appreciate you man 👑
Thanks you help me a lot Kids here are very happy!
Such a dope dope video!!! Thank you :)
Always the most detailed and useful :)
Thank you so much. :)
Thanks.. Greetings from Holland
You're welcome, Henk. I'm glad that I was able to be of help to you. Tot de volgende keer.
Did this 2 day there was so much dust in it was like a carpet .no wonder it sounded like a jet engine.
Put back together all ok much quieter than it was .
great guide
Hey man thanks a lot!!! This help a lot!
before and after disassembly and reassembly, your console remained working, right? provided i don't break anything or any cables, the console should continue working right?
Thanks a Lot for sharing. O followed each step and also cleaned the optical with isop alcoohol . At next Power up the error of not Reading Disc still occurs :/ what else can It be?
working on the exact same model except on mine around the disc tray is not rubber it's foam. Made a mess and on further inspection it's actually foam glued to a very thin piece of plastic. i should have used an X-Acto knife to get under the plastic not a screwdriver to the foam.
Thanks so much helped a ton
Very helpful thanks
You did NOT have to remove the panel that were attached by rivets...all you needed to do was to insert a flat head screwdriver in the panel slots (there are 6) at an angle to unhook the clips. It’s a shame that you broke the rivets. Here is the proper way to remove the end panels without breaking anything:

You are absolutely right. There is definitely a better way of doing this, than the one I showed in the video. Thank you for pointing it out, and I will be using the proper method from now on.

thank you.....great video
Hey when you are putting the xbox power ribbon on which way is the ribbon supossed to be facing when I plug it back in? Is it supposed to be twisted or is it just bent backwards?
I'm still looking to do this. To get the best clean for operational purposes would you take the disc drive out?
You would get the best results by taking out as much as possible, but if you don't feel comfortable doing that you can leave it in.
Quick question if a blow dryer has fan setting could that be used as a duster?
It was satisfying when I was done
Thanks this helped alot!
Thanks I was cleaning mine with a toothbrush and just rubbing the dirt back in I've got two xbox slims one has got the red light of death on it but the other one works
Unfortunately, as far as I know, there are no good solutions to a red ring of death. The best solution is to take it to a professional and have them see if they can reball it.
@@Vigerp the one with the red ring is strange the green light will stay on but as soon as I plug the HDMI in the light goes red
@@djpaul146 It sounds like it could be a faulty HDMI connector, then. Does your Xbox have outer AV outputs? If so, you could see if you could run component or composite.
@@Vigerp hi I will give the HDMI a blast with some air duster and see if that helps thank you 👍
@@Vigerp hi I've put a video up on my channel take a look at it it shows my xbox problem 👍
I did this to clean my xbox after moving it into my room. I took it apart, cleaned it and put it together exactly how you did. When I turned it on, it was doing a fast flash of the green light. ????
How do you get the t8 hex screws out without the screwdriver?
Thank you for this video!!!!!!
Taking apart a ps3 is a million times easier than an xbox
Thank you for uploading this video, it was really helpful and easy to follow but after I put my xbox back together it has been turning off at random times, do you have any idea on what I could have done wrong?
You might have loosened your power supply check if its plugged in all the way or if the plug to it is dusty
Yeah, it sounds to me like there might be an issue with one of the cables.
I took the fan off. It had 2 screws Holding the fan down from the top. Would that be enough to break the hard drive seal?
WISH YOU SHOWED HOW TO DO THE CLIPS ON THE FRONT OF THE CONSOLE!
Thanks man
I pulled off the blue plastic cable attached to the xbox to the front. Not the one attached to the button directly. Can i connect it again?
Gracias mi brother
I tore the blue wire/ cable near the start button, the one which is attached from the front part to the console. Anyone know how should i fix it properly cause its really tiny to work on.
I just taped around it to keep it whole but dont know if it need to touch the part behind it or the part it is plugged into. And its kind hard to tape it so i dont know if the two ends are still connected
Thanks Dude
Cleaned everything exactly the same except for the disc drive, was able to repeat the problem without the disc drive. I fired it up before trying to put it back together, I plugged it in and it’s still bringing up the red light saying it will shut down to avoid damage. Any suggestions?
Ouch... the red ring of death. That is not a good one. =(
I'm afraid that the only permanent fix I know of is to replace all the solder balls on the motherboard, but that is not an easy task. That would require an expert in order to fix, and the balls need to be replaced with lead balls (to cope with the heat caused by long gaming sessions).
thanks man huge help
My pleasure!
you might wanna test and make sure it turns on before putting it back together..
Went through this video to try to fix my Xbox with a red ring of death. Everything went smoothly and your video was extremely helpful but the console still has the red ring of death. Does anyone have some suggestions to fix it?
My 360 sounds incredibly loud, I guess that’s what you get when you get it secondhand and then leave it in your basement for like 4 years lol
I'm trying to open the disc drive and you said push your pin in the hole and right away you'll feel something and you'll push it should open. I'm doing that rn and it ain't opening
How do I loosen the piece on the top of the xbox it is in there tight
I have 2 small silver screws after I was done. What did I forget???
