The problem isnt dust its that the fan blades rub on the plastic shroud that surronds the fan. Need to create a little more space between them and your good. Nice video on how to disassemble though
@@daveandrecustodio7046 not sure, but all I know is that after a while of rubbing... The whole fan hasn't started and its constantly overheating cause I couldn't clean mine in time I got it second hand
If you are going to do this or take apart any power supply. You need to be aware that electrical components may hold a charge making this a potentially dangerous job.
Hello guys, as a fellow who had the same issue but just cleaning doesn't fix it. I have a suggestion that worked for me, the problem isn't in the fan, it's the plastic that holds it it gets loose by the heat overtime. So what I did is I added a piece of paper to the plastic to stick it in place tightly, and now it's super quiet that I don't believe it. Hope it works for you.
Also, just make a hole through the rubber feet instead of trying to pry them off. Use something to clean out the excess rubber from the new hole and then the foot's casing will come out when unscrewing the T3.
Lmfao. So I came to this vid, saw him open the bottom with the hexagon screws and was like "fuck i dont have that tool". Then I read your comment, then I went over to my power supply brick (buzzing loud af all the time), blew the dust out, and smacked it hard like 4 times. Now it's quiet as shit and cant hear it anymore. Showed it who was boss. Thanks man.
When you had the fan fully disassembled you should be able to slide the fan off of its shaft and lubricate it. I did it with my 360 slims fan. The power supplies look pretty similar
Be carful doing this because I don't know if Microsoft has done a sneaky move or not but when I opened mine the basterds had glued some of the screws! I will just buy a new supply now ffs lol
Honestly I thought the same, but it's just because I broke the flat rubber part off revealing the round black piece underneath. I poked into it with a small flat head and popped it out, revealing the screw.
you can pop the fan off the bracket theres a pin on the back of the fan grease the pin reinstall fan into the metal circle and close the unit mines like new
+Andrei Callanan WD40 isn’t a grease. It will dry back out. You need actual grease that will keep friction to a minimum. I really don’t know what kind, I would just use any type of grease. It will be in a container not a spray bottle
Great vid, I just got the fan out and was able to pull the actual blade/fan(top part) from the motor. It’s only held in place by the magnets that spin it, so it will just pop off easily by lifting. Looks like they used graphite to lubricate the spinning metal on magnet parts. I simply washed it with soap then re lubricated it using gun lube. No more wobbly fan or loud rattle sound👌
Dude thanks a lot. My old one did this and I thought it was breaking so I got a new brick and it did it again so I actually searched up on it and your video helped me a lot
So xbox was making a horrible noise... Its an original 1, had it since the day it came out. I now own a xbox x so give it to my lil 1, found a TH-cam video on how to take it apart and clean the fan as it sounded like a police helicopter was above my house! To my surprise was actually not that dusty, managed to put it all back together, turned it on... Was a bit quiter but still noisy, had a good listen and realised it was the damn power pack! Found this video, followed your instructions... Now have to check if its still switched on!! 3 hours of my life I will never get back... You sir are a legend Edit: then found out you don't even do TH-cam anymore...
Yes had the same problem. I replaced it through gamstop 2 months ago and the same problem appeared. There were other issues with the original brick but never the noise. I swapped out the fan from my original brick to the replacement and all went well. Remember that gamestop will not use quality parts for their replacements. The fan they used was the problem. I replaced the fan, (just slice and dice) use electrical tape and reassemble. Easy peasy!!
some ppl might need a torx Plus bit, the torx plus screw has a little rod in the middle of the pattern that prevents a regular torx bit from entering the head of the screw completely!
Fixed mine by removing the blades from the fan assembly, it's a brushless motor so it is easily removed, and then applying some lubricant to the center shaft. Worked like a charm! Quiet now!
This was informative, but I recommend others to do a few things differently. Just puncture the rubber feet and use a T3 Torx (or a tiny flathead if you don't have Torx heads) to remove the screw which will push the feet's casings out as well. I used a J1 Phillips head for all four of the fan enclosure's screws (two sizes), although any small, flat-tipped Phillips head would work.
Unfortunately Microsoft no longer supports or will service the XB1 (1st Generation) so if you have power supply issues your choices are to try troubleshooting by unplugging all points of the power brick (from the outlet, brick cable, AND console) for at least 10m then plug everything back in. Or possibly find a store or pawn shop that still has another for replacement. Only other option i see is to upgrade your console
Bom tuturial para quem quer dar uma limpeza ao tijolo. Eu fiz no meu e correu tudo bem, basta usar as chaves corretas. Apenas devem ter muito cuidado ao puxar o conector da ventoinha, pois facilmente podem partir alguma solda da placa
If this doesn't work for you, take apart the fan and pop it out of its socket. There will be a little metal connector on the bottom of the separated fan. Put some electrical grease on that little metal connector and put it back together.
I thought it was the Xbox itself making the sound, I've had it for over 6 years and I had overheating problems (it turned off one time due to overheating so I cleaned it) before I cleaned it a few weeks back. But I turned it off and it was still making the sound, so I unplugged it from the wall and it stopped, which means it could've been the brick but I'm not sure. I recently replaced my old Xbox power brick that I had for almost 6 years and it had never made that noise. Now I have a new brick that I got like 4 months ago and it's doing it?! A bit confused. I was already worried about taking a part my console and cleaning the fan, but now with the brick being added into it, this is really going to suck. With all this in mind, I'm thinking back to my Xbox randomly shutting off about a month ago due to what I thought was the console overheating. If the console itself overheats, wouldn't there be a message saying lack of air supply or something like That? Because all my console did was shut off without any message, and from reading other comments here, I'm starting to think my new Xbox power brick is the problem. Not for sure.
Has made my fan MUCH MUCH quieter. It would be whisper quiet of I lubed the fan probably, but I didnt have anything so I just cleaned it out(it was FLITHY...way worse than yours!) Its much better now and I may take it apart again in the future to clean it out and lube it up. Thanks!
Opened mine, cleaned it and put it back together. Makes another sound now😂 its 7 years old and will be replaced now. Console works almost like on day 1 except for the harddrive to be slower.
What the heck are those hexagon screws?!?!?!? My xbox has not been turning on for days. I just want to unscrew them but I don't have any screw drivers like that. I've tried flat heads and even forks and knives, but nothing can unscrew them.
had the same problem thought it was my xbox making that noise so I cleaned it, didn't work so I cleaned my brick and now it sounds like new! thanks alot
My power supply has been doing this for a year now and it was annoying at first but I got used to it after awhile. Still gives you a headache when you are trying to sleep and all you hear is a loud fan all night.
Mine just started this this morning before I went to work and I unplugged it worried it would catch fire while I was gone. Very helpful video. I'll be pulling mine apart tomorrow and seeing if cleaning fixes it. Wish me luck.
Wow you're screws came out super easy I think the one I have was made so it's impossible to open there's even a little spike in the middle so you can't put the tool in properly
No its supposed to have the "spike" it's a security torx they make bits specifically for it. I only know cause I've had to take apart controllers and had to buy some. You can get them cheap from a hardware store.
Man everybody if your xbox is cutting off its because of dust near the heating core under the fan i took everything out of the xbox and cleaned the hell out of nd no problem at all
The issue could be power problems. Like if it’s not plugged into the wall directly it won’t be getting enough power it needs and it will make that loud ass sound!
I was cleaning my power brick to see why it was so hot, when I saw the fan, the shit looked like a fucking carpet rug, like damn. After I cleaned it the shit runs better and cooler.
Wow that was way simpler then I expected thanks for the video. I recently built a pc so I have more confidence now doing this stuff and since the pc I’ve opened my Xbox and cleaned it and fixed our Switch controller drift. This is like a cake walk. Can’t wait to see what having cats did to my bricks fan lmao. Much love!
Spokx I just figured it out. I just used brute force by shoving a flat head to rip the rubber off, then I stuck a metal pin in the center hole and pried up to get access to the screws. I didn’t end up fixing the brick anyway so I’m just going to buy a new one.
What typa screw driver do I need to get these wierd hexagon screws out cause there that little bit in the middle that makes it impossible for me to use any of my tools
I might have mine apart and put a bigger fan plus an air filter on it so it doesn't grind or make noise anymore. I'm also gonna do a fan and air filter mod for the console itself.
I did mine, and either the repair worked SOOO well, I cannot hear it at all. Or I killed the fan, and I cannot hear it at all. It is totally silent, and the XbOne is now working, so I guess it's fixed.
Can the power brick cause slow or failed loading of the home screen? My Xbox just won't load anything. I sometimes can select a tab after 15-20 minutes but nothing happens.
Rule one, dont touch it when its outta its case. I've been electrocuted before but trust me it isnt comfortable when touching metal bits while its disassembled to test the fan
@@lunaticckc no it’s not lol. They mean different things. Electrocution or electrocuted means you died from electrical shock and an electric shock means you got shocked but survived.
My Xbox one is the one that was sold with the Kinect ( remember those?) I won it from a PEPSI contest- had it - used it since 2012! Still working, except the fan in the battery pack is making a LOUD WINDING DOWN/ UP NOISE. It’s so aggravating... I need an OPINION, should I get Another Xbox, or can I fix this ? I have a lot of money it in it , games , movies , music ect. And not even sure how to save / transfer it!! So I’m not wanting it to just blow up one day- so try to replace it (the battery pack)/ fix it?? Or Get a another system?
If your games are digitally saved on your account, you will keep all your games no matter what type of xbox you get. Also, all your progress with be saved on games will be saved your account as well.
So stupid that so many of these power bricks went out like this. I returned about 5 Xbox ones back in 2014 until I found one that didn’t have the noisy brick.
My box wasn't making loud noise, but it was humming and completely clogged with dust. Thanks for the video! Is it bad I went in without a bracelet? Does it matter?
Patrick Ellis if it hums I immediately want you too unclog the fan and triple check that it spins freely, if you want to know why it hums and the fan is only dc it’s because it’s ripple currents.
I had bought a new adapter about two weeks ago because my other one wouldn’t turn on and it’s making this noise I used all the money I had to buy it is there anyway I could possibly fix it that won’t be expensive

A new power brick ranges from $15 to $25, so not to bad.
Hey wazup question…. What’s the name of the tool you use to remove the screw?
My power brick made a pop noise now won’t turn on when I plug it in to any outlet will cleaning this help it or is it done for ?
So stupid that so many of these power bricks went out like this. I returned about 5 Xbox ones back in 2014 until I found one that didn’t have the noisy brick.
My box wasn't making loud noise, but it was humming and completely clogged with dust. Thanks for the video!
Is it bad I went in without a bracelet? Does it matter?
Patrick Ellis if it hums I immediately want you too unclog the fan and triple check that it spins freely, if you want to know why it hums and the fan is only dc it’s because it’s ripple currents.
Should have showed that it worked at the end but in all great video keep up the good work🙂
I had bought a new adapter about two weeks ago because my other one wouldn’t turn on and it’s making this noise I used all the money I had to buy it is there anyway I could possibly fix it that won’t be expensive
Bro that is not normal
