Xbox One AC Adapter Making Noise [FIXED]

- My Xbox One AC adapter started buzzing one day. I took it apart and found the fan was the cause. Clearing out the dust made no difference. Putting some grease on the fan resolved it.

Thanks man still works for a fix. WD40 on a rag touched in the same places you put grease did the trick.
good tip! pinning it so others can see.
Was about to ask this
Thank you
Was thinking would wd40 work as well...thanks imma try that since I already have some
WD-40 is a cleaner/degreaser, not really a lubricant. Your fix may be temporary. I found a lithium grease "crayon" at the hardware store which worked for me, so you don't have to buy a gi-normous tube of the stuff.
Better than me punching the box till it stops grinding lol. Edit- ( you gotta lube the fan pin.)
That's what I do lol
Me too haha
man i was punching this so many times lol
it worked for a bit but now it had four levels of noise
its like a increasing in rmp until it hits the niosiest sound it can
i literally have to turn my TV up almost 3/4 max volume to drown it out
Glad I’m not the only one 😂😂
That’s exactly what I do lol
Just slap your power brick. Worked for me.
Wow that actually worked
It worked for me to but for only about 10 min
Lol worked for me as well
Same dude😂😂
YOOOOOOOO WHATTTTTTTTT???? IT ACTUALLY WORKED?????????
Just for future reference, The bolts are actually called Torx head bolts. They aren't security bolts and are quite common in modern devices. They were designed as an alternative to the allen head style bolts (hexagon). And are often preferred for the fact that they are less likely to "round/ strip". Also they come in a single sizing standard where an allen head bolts can be either metric or sae.
I think the screws in mine had the little pin in the middle. We usually call that type security bits at work, but that might be because we usually find them in security cameras, heh. Then again most of our nicknames for stuff are either incorrect and usually HR unapproved.
Just for future reference the torx bits shown in the video are often referred to as 'tamper proof' or 'security screws' as was stated in the video to distinguish that the bits require a torx with a center hole due to the screw having a center pin. Doing a search online or Amazon with the wording of 'tamper proof' will yield the correct type of torx bit.
Fortunately all mine needed was a cleaning. This video really helped. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this. I might try it out! much love brother
Just want to say thank you so much for this video,I tried this and it works perfectly for me now. I just used some lubricant/cleaner on that little fan part connector. I was just going to buy a new power brick because it was so loud I wouldn’t want to even play anymore but I feel much more satisfied with myself knowing I fixed it myself
Thanks...did the punch and slap method until I found this video. Works perfectly and no stinkin' noise...silence is bliss!
I am so thankful you made this video because I was concentrating my XBOX ONE's actual fan was broken but now I know how to fix it so there was no need to worry, so thank you very much once again for the video
Fixed it like a charm. I didn't have lithium grease but I did have some extra bulb grease left over from a pancake of brake light bulbs I got. Thank you for the update!
Glad you got it working
University of TH-cam for the win once again thanks boss
Thank you so much, i had the EXACT same issue, ran out and got the same grease, absolutely silent now.
I had the same problem. I figured it was the fan because of the annoying mechanical sound, which reminded me of the same issue with laptop fans. The sound would also stop, when I turned the power brick in my hand. I followed your tutorial and now it is humming silently as it should. Thumbs up!
Amazing! I though the loud fan noise was from the console itself, but when I moved things around to get the model number to replace the fan, the converter upgraded from loud to grinding. A dab of lithium grease fixed it, and it turns out the console makes no noise at all. It was the converter the whole time.
This adapter is a replacement for another one that was grinding. If I haven't thrown it away, I can fix that one as well and have a backup.
Thanks, I’ve been trying to fix mine for a while and all I could find was shitty animations that didn’t answer my questions. Thanks again!
Worked for me! watched another video, took it apart and cleaned it.. didnt work but watched this used some grease Now nota sound! Your the best thanks man.
Used paintball marker grease! And yes it worked. No noise! Thank you for the video I was just about to buy another one on Amazon. Fixed it free with stuff I already had! Thanks again!
Thanks! 30 Minutes of work fixed the whole problem.
Thanks this helped a lot, completely removed all sound from the fan.
Thank you! This worked a treat! Just a good clean, a drop of machine oil and it's as good as new again. My daughter is happy to be able to play it again.
This helped so much before watching I took it apart and just thought it was dust but it just continued. I use to just slap it or slam it on the desk and it would stop but only for about an hour. Fingers crossed this lasts
Thank you for this video...I had the same problem, followed your advise and everything is back together and so quiet.
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Very well done!
Slightly different internal layout for mine but I did it anyway and it's now perfect. No more squealing. Brill vid thanks.
Just did this and so far it seems like it did solve the problem. Thanks!
Thanks a lot. Didn’t have any grease laying around but just had a baby and luckily had some Aquaphor that did the trick.
All I did to fix it was flip the power brick upside down or place it sideways. Worked for me lol. But appreciate the end fix.
Fixed it better than new great video my dude
sweet! glad it worked.
Did everything you did and it fixed my problem lets go great vid
Replaced fans and it works! Thanks!
I just charge my neighbor 40USD to fix his PSU using your tutorial....THANKS!
Lol man’s a hustler
Fixed! Million Thanks! Saved myself $30
I know this is an old video but this worked for me. Thanks man.
Thanks so much! Noise was making me crazy! 🎮😁
You are a legend, thanks for the helpful video😎
Thank you so much I could not figure it out and was about to buy a new one so until I found the vid
you're a legend man!!!! had to use a knife for the small screws and some vaseline instead of grease but its working!! dont know how long it will last but at least i dont have to deal with this BS anymore.
Thanks for the video, with the first security screws I snapped the middle part out with a tiny flathead then was able to use a T20 screwdriver. I used wd-40 now it’s completely silent
Thanks for this vid. Been having this same issue. Did it that way, been silent ever since
Thanks for the video, this solved the problem for me as well.
Thanks for the video just did it today works perfectly
Thanks for this! Fixed my noisy 360 power supply, I already had the exact same grease. It was annoyingly loud and now I faintly her the fan spin with my ear next to the power supply.
This is great thanks for this. I kinda thought my power supply was ruined but I guess its not!
Nice fix,mine dried up just in time for a new console so not too bad, Big machines need grease every work day so with about a billion spins on that little fan it deserves some new grease.
Thanks bro 👍🏻 lotta time on my hands since this corona bullshit is going on..
Thank you so much bro, works great now.
It works thanks this was helpful
Thank you do much for this guide, I used some white lithium grease in the same place as you did and the noise is gone.
I put lithium grease on the peg of the fan. Just a speck. Worked like a charm
This helped me. Thank you
worked like a charm, especially with iFixit
Recently got a new power brick because the original one just stopped working. Got a new one (a GameStop power brick) and a few months after using it without problems, the fan turns insanely loud, lawnmower loud. After cleaning out the little dust it had I followed this video’s instructions. I used WD-40 instead of what he used, and it’s whisper quiet now!
4:17 that’s all we can do my bud ;)
Bonjour worked a treat
Thanks also you are very good at rl
Awesome...thank you Sir!
I just did this on a gamestop power supply and it worked!
So simple. Thank you. I wish you well❤️
Just did this and this far it sounds perfect
It works! My power supply was grinding so loud. I had previously used compressed air and slapped it like most gamers would/did. But after $12.03 at Home Depot for the grease and compressed air I have a silent and working power supply again. Good as new! Thank you!
nice! yeah slapping is always the next step after turning it off/back on. If that doesn't work that's when it gets real lol. glad you got it working.
I did this as well but used WD-40 instead of grease and it helped get rid of most of the noise but there is still some if I leave it on for long enough. I May have to look into getting that grease
All i did to fix the noise problem was blow air into all the holes and slap both sides a couple times. But it was interesting seeing inside the charger.
Any one going to talk about how good he is at rocket leugue
It actually worked thank u so much i can play fortnite peacefully 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hell yeah it worked for me today. No more punching the brick 😂
Started happening to mine and gave it the good ole smack it once trick, and surprisingly that worked just as well
Lmao i just did the same thing worked like a charm
Yeah, don't smack it too hard or you'll loosen up something from inside the brick.
Same
Just bought a refurbished Xbox one and just read your comment. Slapped mine now the fan is less noisy LOL
Been beating my for awhile now. Theyre pretty durable. Still males the noise every now and then but im js it has survived getting hammer punched into the ground plenty of times
Easy Easy! No fukn noise anymore. Thank you very much!
Very helpful.
How can I fix the motor? I am noticing that it's going in different speeds. The brick would stay mute then slowly escalate in rattling then starts to randomly grind for the longest.
thanks bro this works on xbox 360 bricks too.. for those who want to buy genuine microsoft products for their stuff the 360 brick works with xboxone with some superficial modifications.
Can you send a link for buying the fan seperately? Probably just gonna buy one regardless if they are 5 bucks.
Sick dude
I have to do this about once a year on mine 3 times so far I used a small flathead to break the security pins in the middle of the screws then use compressed air to get rid of the gunk and scum then wd-40
My power brick only makes noises when I start up game any ideas on it? It sounds like the fan but not totally sure.
Mine doesnt seem to have any bolts, just glued. Very odd, as its not an aftermarket charger. Doesnt seem to be any good way to make the top go loose.
So just out of curiosity how dangerous are these bricks? Are we talking a minor shock or full on face explosion ? It doesn’t really seem like what you did here was risky at all.
Video didn't help, I took my power brick apart and did everything you did in the video and its still making a terrible sound.
i just had the same problem. it’s a chinese knockoff brand. whenever i rotated it relaly fast it stopped doing the sound. but immediately did it again. i gave it a few hits and cleared some dust from it. then i put it under my desl so i coudlnt hear it while i played a game. as soon as i loaded into a match it stopped doing it. there’s still a small reminisce of it but u can barely notice it.
For me it's literally just decoration because I took the rubber cord out, alongside the power stuff
Lol i remember the good days when the fans on that box thing died and we had to use a fan pointed at it, it was a 360 lol
WD-40 SPECIALIST WHITE LITHIUM GREASE 400ML
Can I use this ?
Cant I just air pressure the holes on it?
nice job bud,
What screwdriver do you need to take the fan off
Did anyone have a problem with the screws on the case? I can only get half of them open with the bit he mentions the other two I can’t get at even with smaller big sizes
I just shaked it and it worked
I have pretty much the same issue with my dad's slightly Xbox One, whenever the Ac adapter is plugged in, it makes loud sounds, but when the Xbox is booted on, it doesn't work or load correctly, any fixes as to why it may not load correctly?
my fan doesnt have that extra peace of plastic
Are the screws on the fan just normal small screws??
just a couple of smacks to the top of the naughty power supply shuts it up temporarily. dont thnk I will take it apart any time soon but glad it isnt a crazy process
I had to buy a new one i just moved and the original one was lost in the move but i bought one on eBay from Japan for 15.00 and everytime i turn it on it sounds like a car motor for the first 10min then buzzing.... I'm going to buy a ome
Worked
Wow that worked like a dream. Totally silent now
i tried to take the T10 screws out but wont break lose. used a T10 bit i had and one my father had and it only wants it make it stripped. any ideas? also i never had it open before and i been the only owner.
Those security screws can really work your Patience. Atleast the ones on the xbox controller when repairing a trigger etc.. from the inside. Seems like they should have out more thought into the product itself and use regular screws instead of security screws then the customer has to do surgery to fix minor flaws of the product
Why does everything have to use special screw heads nowadays?
would liquid wrench or wd40 work as well??
Nice job! Have one question though. "Grease question". Instead of the product you recommended in the video, would it be ok to use "grease" that I use for door hinges? Thanks!
Throw some Crisco on it lol. Im sure just about any type would do a lengthiner fix than all these people saying they just slap there's and now it works. Which is true until you have to slap again, and again every 20 to 40 min.
Haha I just lightly shook mine alittle and it stopped making the noise, the weirdest things can fix something
How did you get the nubs out
Put the vacuums to the vents and it worked fine
Scorpinoc what do you mean by this ?
