![]() Hope this is helpful to any future peeps. This is a temporary fix and I don’t recommend it.īe sure to keep your console in a clean and ventilated area (read: not on the floor where cat hair and cockroaches can get to it). Lots of people saying a hair drier or heat gun or canned air as a temporary fix. In the unlikely even it is your power supply that has gone bad, use the same method to source that part. If this is not a solution, source your fan using parts number located on the side of the fan component. Just did this for a customer and it worked. Replace it with a pea-sized bit of thermal paste (available at Best Buy and the sort on short notice). Clean off your crusted paste with 99% isopropyl alcohol and a clean toothbrush or non-static cloth. Follow this guide on how to take it apart. I would try the paste first as it is the more affordable repair and very easy. your thermal paste needs replacement (very likely).More then likely one of two things is happening If your console beeps and then turns off with out the fan turning on, your console thinks its going to over heat and turns off. The positive thing is that keeping the SATA cable connected and feeding the drive with an external source (or bridging the connection directly to the main power source) perhaps the problem is solved and we do not lose the Disk-Drive unit. It seems that it’s only the power line for the Disk Drive and not for the HDD, although I can’t be sure as I’m still testing it, and I took the chance to change to an SSD which needs less current, so if the problem was there for the HDD maybe it’s no longer for the SSD. It seems that the problem is the internal circuits providing the current to the Disk-Drive, because I can clearly see that when the Disk-Drive power cable is disconnected, the Xbox runs fine (to be honest, is still under test), and with it connected, it stops. … until I saw this post and the message from Ryan Gilbert here above. I did the opening, the cleaning, putting a big fan (ventilator) on top of it, running it without the fan at all, replacing the hard drive, everything… or that is what I’ve though… I’ve tried absolutely everything that was on my hands, even changing the power source for another non-Xbox one (a normal PC power source). I’ve had exactly the same problem with my Xbox One S. It was hard to find an answer outside of turn it off then back on or try a hair dryer non-sense. These videos offer helpful tips on dismantle and cleaning components. The most helpful video I found was (Xbox One S Disassembly and Replacing Thermal 2016) by Geek Sauce or (Xbox One S Detailed Assembly - Replacing Thermal Paste) by TronicsFix. My xbox has worked for three months now with no issues. After cleaning the old paste off, reapplying new, and then reassembling. What I found was the heat sync had dried out the thermal paste between the two units. Inspected for any obvious burnt out pieces or components. I completely dismantled the unit into all of its pieces. A few specialty tools are required and definately a decent level of patience. ![]() After watching about 2 hour worth of xbox dismantle and possible repair videos I felt confident enough to take a look inside. My unit was way past warranty so I decided to look into repairing it myself. Would turn on my xbox one S the fan would kick on then a few seconds later it would power down.
