Following on from the last video, this time I demonstrate how to clean Xbox Series S fan and in the process, I will also show how to disassemble the Xbox Series S with, and without a torx screwdriver. Clean WITHOUT Opening - • How to Clean Your Xbox...
This is an easy tutorial guide for beginners, or anyone wanting to clean the inside of their Xbox themselves, as after a while, dust can build up and cause overheating issues and other problems.
I try and make this an easy Xbox Series S teardown video anyone can follow at home. 😁

Hows things Mick. Mine was running extremely hot recently, after 4 months of running perfect. It's actually been pretty warm here in Ireland but I doubt that was the reason. The fan started making a whirring noise all the time, and the black vent was roasting to the touch while gaming. After a clean and thermal pasting (the old factory paste was completely dry and all flaked! Like nearly non existent) It's back to working perfectly again. So happy days! Anyway, great video.

We can by all legal means, and rights fix our own devices, butttt you don't get the special warranty if you finagle with the consoles internals thats why they also place those detect strips so If they're tampered, or damaged they'll tell if its still under warranty or not.

Peeled off the stickers without any heat gun or anything like that, it's fine to not have the stickers on and doesnt damage anything doing it without using heat to get the stickers off, I think it's mainly a warranty thing.

@SWEETDREAMS-mn6ke 2 года назад

This a good video my Xbox was getting so hot it would cut off I watched the video took it apart the fan was loose so I plugged it in good now works. If your Xbox one s is overheating it’s due to more than likely a fan problem I could literally smell burning electronics. Your Xbox should never be that hot to the touch. The fan problem on this system is the go to problem there cheap to replace or it could be like my case and just be a loose connection.

Hi! And there won't be anything if I unsticked the backs of my Xbox Series S. (two small rectangles) and pecked them without disassembling the console with super glue back, but one of these parts glued a little crookedly, won't it affect the warranty? (I didn't open it)

@stefanobianchi8736 3 года назад

Yeah I was wondering it too.. probably it does, even if usually you have an INTERNAL sticker that if damaged it means that the console has been opened.. it doesn't seem this to be the case tho It seems that in some countries the warranty is a little bit different, but I couldn't find anything explicit

@somebawldy3789 Год назад

Warranty is only a year

@SilentAndy Год назад

I know I'm a whole year late, but if ur opening it, u usually wouldn't care about the warranty anyways. Either that, or it usually would only matter when trying to resell the console or trade it in for store credit or something. If ur not doing ANY of that, then it really doesn't matter if u open it or not. Like the other person here said, the warranty is probably only a year anyways (I think it's longer, but I could be wrong). Most ppl just throw them away and get new ones, but if u care about returning it or getting credit back for it, maybe don't open it. I'm just not sure anyways if many places will take back a console that was "tampered with". 🤷🏻‍♂️ Up to u at the end of the day.

@pauljohnson1991 2 года назад

Mine does too so I got 2 small USB fans bowing on it pointing at each end about 6" away or so and I have it sitting up about a 1" by putting some small blocks under it just to help air flow around it and I haven't had any more issues since I've done all that. May be a bit overkill but it doesn't bother me lol I've only played 2 games with it which are GTA Online and NBA 2K22. GTA never got hot enough to tell in game but I could tell by game play that 2K got too hot and caused music to cut in and out and would be a tiny bit glitchy. I'm really surprised it has heat issues with the way they designed it I figured it would be enough, although since they did go to the point of putting the massive fan on the top to blow the heat out tells me that they were concerned and knew that it would generate a lot of heat.

In reality from what I’m seeing you really should only have to clean the fan and vents out it seems the inside of the S is so compact that dust can only really effect the fan area so you really should probably only have to take off the case and if your really really hard pressed about dust just get a dust cover for whenever your not playing and take it off when you are. It’ll help limit the dust intake and give you more peace of mind if need be 👍

@TinkerManMick 3 года назад

Hey mate, not sure to be honest. There will be lots of opinions but imma guess a dodgy component. Take that thing bak under warranty while u still can is my advice - otherwise you could run it with the casing off to locate the noise better, but be so so careful as its dangerous if you touch sonething you shouldnt. if you manage to locate the noise, then you can replace what is possibly faulty. Thats what id do, but as i said, theres plenty of people willing to share opinions so see what else shows up here over time too!
