Clean Your Xbox Fan WITHOUT Opening it - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y59OZ_e3KlA.html 🛠

@ELPaso1990TX 2 года назад

I think it’s a design flaw not being able to remove the top vent cover. Removing the back invalidates the warranty but cleaning is essential and if you can’t clean the fan and vents you risk shortening the life expectancy of your console. They should have had screws or clips holding the top vent cover so it can easily be removed for cleaning the fan. Some people live in more dusty environments than others and for some cleaning maybe a lot needed more regularly.

@McI4 2 года назад

I actually think microsoft changed their warranty cover so that opening the back doesn't invalidate the warranty

@corn26489 Год назад

It actually doesn’t void the warranty

@zz_the_one539 Год назад

I definitely see your point but the warranty is void after 2 years so I guess it doesn’t matter

@vraskas6252 Год назад

it's probably more like they did it on purpose so you're too scared to open it and fry your xbox getting you to buy another one, with the way companies can be

Put a rubber band over the top of the screw and put you screwdriver in the hole with the rubber band in between the tool and the screw. This will give the screwdriver more grip without damaging the screw near as much.

One alternative method that I used after opening the back of the series x was blowing the vents with my lungs because I did not have air in a can or his air tool from the video. Yes it's a bit of a caveman method in my opinion but I was able to clean the fans this way and not struggle too much besides coughing some from the lint and in some of the deeper places that I couldn't blow I then used q tips to clean the tighter areas that are harder to reach. The same methods also work for people who still have their Genesis and SNES cartridges and are trying to simply clean them.

It's really dissapointing microsoft made it so impractical to gain access to the fan. With the PS5, it's just a matter of removing a few screws, here you have to go in with a heatgun. Definitely a major design flaw on Microsoft's behalf.

I would recommend against blowing air from your mouth as saliva droplets can easily short some component. Some alternatives to compressed air are: vacuum cleaner on reverse setting, bike pump/baloon pump, waving a hand fan close to it.

@aviatinggamer9051 Год назад

You can afford a $550ish (with tax) console but can’t afford a hand powered air blower? Here’s a money saving tip: soak the entire Xbox in some warm soapy water for 10-15 minutes. Afterwards wipe the external surfaces with a towel. IMPORTANT: Do not disassemble the Xbox. Then use some big luggage or big tuppaware and fill it with rice and let the Xbox soak in the rice for about 1-2 days. Plug in and enjoy. The only expenses should be enough rice to surrounded the Xbox in a piece of luggage/tuppaware as I assume you have one of the latter.
