XBOX 360E Teardown & Cleaning 

Same

I already did and I had a cat 💀💀 it is DIRTY

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 😂

i opened it and it was DIRTY but REALLY DIRTY

Sammeeeee

😂 facts

That's cool man

Did you manage to save him? My is 10 years old. Still alive🫡

I'm glad it helped

You should seriously consider getting some thermal paste if you haven’t already

Ouch, I would somehow prefer the scratches 😂 Good Luck 🍀

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

Mine has that issue too and what you have to do is give a little push (not to hard) when pressing A to close tray

Thankfully it works

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

You only need patience and focus, and the required tools, good luck 🍀

@@YesterdaysTech thanks!

Could you fix it?

For removing old thermal compound yes, for cleaning the whole motherboard, I wouldn’t do that

I have 99.9% minimum stuff so I use that to clean round the motherboard

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

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)

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

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.

@@YesterdaysTech thank you. I'm in process of checking everything. Just replaced fan and still same so prolly some dust or not centered.

I have the same problem. Just before the cleaning and paste change, the fan is so noisy. Did you found any solution?

Yes, that would be totally fine

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

Probably a sturdy bobby pin

Most probably the CPU is not working, cleaning doesn’t help in this situation

@@YesterdaysTech what I do for fix them

@@YesterdaysTech error E 82

You probably need reballing, but that’s not something to do at home, it needs professional service

if you dont put that your xbox wont work

No, it doesn't matter

And all correctly as i reversed the video i just want to play vivã piñatas

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

@@YesterdaysTech thanks

It’s either a faulty Power Supply or the Console itself. If the PSU is working properly then most probably the Console needs reballing

Did you push it?

It took me a while to find the right angle to push and the disk tray to come out, but it should definitely come out easily and not forced

Have you tried with a different power supply?

@@YesterdaysTech I don't have a different one at the moment but I can try and find a genuine one from somewhere

@@averagechapstick Maybe you have a short. Check to see if your USB pins are not bent

Makes it last a lot longer, much more quiet and you won’t have overheating problems in games

​@@DxrinENTdoes overheating makes it have a burning smell? plus there's dust build up in mine

This is not possible

Cleaning will not help the optical unit

@@YesterdaysTech So, What should I do; I imagine it's really the games right?

I have a separate video about how to resurface discs, you can try that
