I took my Xbox One X apart almost a year ago, and was only able to fix it now. I couldn't remember which screws went where, so this really helped. Thanks!
I came here for help putting the lid back on. What a pain in the @$$! Your video helped me realize my first methods were wrong and saved me from potentially snapping a piece of plastic off. In the end I found the PERFECT way to get the cover on, hassle free. Locate the plastic loop on the lid and hook it underneath a flat plastic tab on the back of the unit. While doing this, hold the lid vertical, at a 90° angle with the unit. Once it's underhooked, simply rotate the lid and close it like you would close the hood of a car. Then insert screws. That's it. Thanks for the help!
I always try to figure things out myself before turning to tutorials. Today was the first time I got lucky enough for a One X to come across my workbench. Got it all disassembled, fixed, and put back together EXCEPT for the top cover. Found your video, and DEFINITELY saved some of these little plastic clips from being broken off. I swear that some of these companies have a person on-staff who's entire job is to concoct bizarre new ways to fasten plastic cases together to confuse DIYers. Thanks dude!!
i know this is a dumb question, and forgive me, but i took my xbox apart to replace the thermal paste, and it makes the startup sound and the light turns on for a second, then the whole thing dies, so does it matter what order i put them in?
When i opened my xbox up i was shocked at how much dust had collected and how there was practically no thermal paste on the cpu. This guide was super clear on what exactly to do. Thank you.
Just wanted to say thank you a ton for the detailed overview of how to reattach the top cover! For some reason that was the hardest part of this process for me. I just added a 2TB SSD to give my console some more life.
Love these hardware videos, and Mario gets them exactly right; well-lit, little to no music, calm voice, high resolution, with clear instructions. Coming back to MS after Sony's antics this gen, it's vaguely nostalgic seeing those interior components. It's like 2008 all over again, working on 360s for friends, repainting the shells and stuff.
Thank you for this video guide. I successfully repasted my CPU & upgraded to a 2TB hard drive using the Xfix directcopy video guide & software tool. It went smooth as butter. The copying took the longest, around 8 hours. Once I switched the XBox One X back on, it worked perfectly. All data, settings, games were still there + the extra disk space :)
Thank you so much for this detailed guide. It might seem irrelevant in 2021 but I promise you it's not! I originally replaced my HD and thermal paste on my console last year and had a lot of trouble removing and replacing the top cover. In fact so much so that I apparently broke the ribbon cable for the front USB and sync button. With this guide I was able to replace that cable (using a spare from ebay) and get the top cover replaced properly. I now have a fully working Xbox again!
Just purchased a second hand console. Was looking for a clear and concise guide to show the disassemblely and assembly of the console. I need to clean it, replace the hard drive and change the thermal paste and pads. This guide clearly explains it all. Thanks from the UK.🇬🇧
Just done the cleaning and repasting of the console . Took it slowly and followed along. It went like a dream. Would have done a hard drive swap but run out of time. Will do it soon. Thanks again Mr Mario. 🇬🇧
@@MrMario2011 Indeed he is! Any time I’ve talked to him, he’s the EXACT same person he is on his videos! I’ve been meaning to do this with my One X too, fan runs a bit high during 4K games like RDR2 and COD Cold War, I’ve also wanted to do an SSD with a larger storage capacity than 1TB, any good options for that?
This is a great video. Everyone else shows you how to disassemble the Xbox One X, but this was the only one that showed me how to properly reassemble the Xbox One X.
So you know how people say have kids it's fun well not all the time, had a nickel and Penny stuck in my disk drive and this was the first and only video we needed to carefully and properly take apart clean remove coins, AND put back together!!!! Very direct simple and great demo's thanks for being apart of the surgical team that saved my Xbox lol
At 29:13 for the Power Supply plug not staying, just use the cable that plugs in to hold it in place. Just make sure it isn't plugged in to an outlet just in case.
Just wanted give ya a big thanks on these videos. I've taken apart xbox, xbox 360, and now xbox one x to replace hard drives and upgrade the size. Keep up the good work my friend. Almost finished with my 1tb ssd in my one x. Love how you had the reassemble portion of the video too!
Thanks bro, especially with explaining the top cover, getting it back on. It was all smooth sailing until the finishing touches. You're right, once you get it down once, its super easy.
I never comment. I liked and subscribed...until now. This tutorial was so well thought out and delivered I had to comment. Awesome, awesome, awesome, video! This has to be the best presentation style I have ever seen. your technical info, style, presentation, and tempo are outstanding. You could work for any corporation training technicians and be very well-coveted. I haven't looked yet, but I'm going to do my Series X and PS5 next and I hope you have covered these. I will not waste my time looking for any other tutorials because you are now my de facto go-to. Thank you very much!!!
My Xbox one x was shutting down due to thermal error. I tore it down and reapplied thermal grease just like the video. Now works perfectly. The factory grease was all dried out. Thanks for making this video.
I have taken apart my fair share of one x's but its always nice to follow such a good video cause something can always get missed. Thanks for the video
Followed this whole video through a breakdown, clean n paste and reassemble. Thank you so much. My Xbox was overheating and shutting off games. Fixed the problem. Hats off 🙏
@@MrMario2011 only difference was I didn’t have an x clamp tool, I used a really small flat head but if I do more breakdowns I would get one. Also my only problem in the video was sometimes your hands got in the way of what you were working on so I couldn’t see, but you made up for it with being very descriptive 🫡
@@MrMario2011 Your explaination was perfect for the Top Cover it fell right on after I tried it the way you showed. So no more solid thermal puddy for my Xbox One X. Now I just need to do something about that HDD and those blue thermal pads.
Fantastic video. Followed step by step and it's like I bought an entirely new xbox or something, the fans rarely even come on now and games are running flawlessly, no more mid-game shutdowns. Thanks a million.
3:35 - Fun fact, removing that sticker does not void the warranty in the US. That has been illegal in the US since 2018 and console manufacturers aren't even allowed to put them on consoles anymore.
Thank you so much for the awesome and detailed video! It took me the longest to put back the lit hahaha. This saved me spending 50 bucks to get it cleaned at repair shop!
Great video! You went at a great pace where I didn’t have to pause, skip or rewind. Your explanation definitely helped with the top cover and the thermal paste part helped as well. I repasted and swapped to a 2 TB SSD.
My Xbox is back to being silent. Had to clean the fan, literally at 5:35 am lmao. If it weren't for you, I'd be here frustrated, trying to guess which screw went where. You're dope man.
Hey, thanks for making this video. Was struggling a bit on where which screws went and thought I was going to have a”few left over” and was stressing about it. I had an organizer for the screws… but… I knocked it over. Gave you a like and a comment for the algorithm.
GREAT VIDEO! Exactly what I was looking for! Going to tackle this at the end of this week. Quick question: How often should we replace the thermal paste? Thank you again.
Hey so I was wondering, I'm using an IFixIt kit. Is it normal for these screws to be so freaking hard to undo and redo? Never opened Xbox One X. Almost acts as if every screw was cross threaded on disassembly, even though there's no way right?
Hey, Some of the short screws on the last part of the re assembly were kind of tough to screw in, like required decent strength almost lol (two hands for sure). While others screwed in very smoothly, the long screws went in easy too. can this be normal sometimes ? I have to mention that these same screws were basically just as tough to unscrew during disassembly. This console was never opened up before today, I removed warranty sticker. Definitely no stripping though. I was careful Thanks dude! Very detailed video and took apart my first Xbox !
Nice one bro. Just completed and it's running well, still kind of loud on 4k games but no where near the jet engine that overheats and shuts down the console. Thank uou
brilliant, loop the top case back on the edge you life it out on really helped, and yeah it basically fell in place. Thanks a lot, the iFixit guides seem like they give u 40% and leave the rest to you. thanks for helping me finish
@@MrMario2011 yeah. Thats where I gave up and came to find someone to show me how to get it on. Just do the reverse of what we did just doesn't work here. Crazy people just assume you can re-assemble something so easily. Although I did check my ribbon was in right too :)
@@MrMario2011 have u got a good recommendation on how to fix stick drift? cant remember which sensor i need to clean/fix to fix hard right drift. and they arent coming out very well either
I’ve done a repaste, but the issue persists. It constantly overheats and turns off. Ive tried replacing psu, repaste, thorough clean, made sure it’s well ventilated. Should i try replacing the thermal pads or fan next?
BTW, I didnt clean the excess paste off, just off of the main chip itself and repaste. Could the issue be due to it trapping heat because of the excess???
Does your console fan get really loud on different games? I'm having this problem and that's why I'm here. My console only overheats and turns off on F1 23 tho. If you have the funds and time I think you should go ahead and replace the thermal pads and fan also I don't think excess thermal paste will cause an issue
OMG thank you. I sat for about 1hr 30mins trying to get the top cover to slide back on. Idk why i didn't see those slots. Popped it on and now i am waiting for a replacement fan module because my fan motor went out and my xbox keeps shutting off from overheating. It will take about a week or so.
Nice Work! I don’t feel comfortable restoring the newer consoles because I’m afraid of me breaking them. I mostly restore original Xboxes or Xbox 360’s
They're pretty well documented, however some of the repairs might be a bit of a black box without the deep modding resources those older consoles have.
Absolutely amazing guide many thank mr mario youve saved my console with simple basic instructions andbthe lid is definitely the hardest part. Many thanks 😊
@@MrMario2011 Thank you! I did enjoy it and also swapped out a faulty 1tb hdd for a 2tb one and it resolved the "installation stopped" error. I'm not confident to do thermal paste replacement just yet, but I'll try in due course! 😩 Thanks again Mario! 👍🏽
Thanks a lot !!.I picked up my one for 50euros with "faulty" blue-ray drive. Console was reading xbox one discs,but not xbox 360 discs. Just opened it up,repasted eveything and cleaned the laser. Boom ,x360 discs are working first go . I saved about 100-150euros,as one x can be still expensive
If one *does* want to replace the crappy stock thermal playdoh that shrinks (mine had huge cracks everywhere, much worse than what's visible at 21:48), you'll need 2mm thick thermal pads. These need to be silicone based and squishy (like a memory foam pillow), which most generic/noname chinese junk isn't (they're more like rubber, fairly hard and don't compress much). EC360, Phobya, EKWB and Thermal Grizzly pads work (ascending order in terms of price). You'll need to cover all the RAM chips dotted around the CPU/APU, and don't forget about the thin strip for the voltage regulators. If you buy a sheet of the stuff (like 100x100mm), you can cut it to size with either scissors (bit ugly) or box cutters (with a fresh blade preferably)
Thanks a lot for the guide! Unfortunately I wasnt careful and RIPPED OUT the front USB/Sync button pins. I was about to praise microsoft for easy assembly until this happened..
Thank u so much I woke up this morning and I kicked the Xbox on accident and the front panel fell off and I didn't know what to do but this really helped and now I can play my Xbox 😀
MrMario2011 Good video 👍🤙🙂 i have a question i also having to change thermal paste but putting the drops artic 1 cleaner like that wont damage those little components????
This was super helpful. My xbox started overheating, and looks like it was the thermal paste. Thank you for doing this video even though its 4 yrs old. HA HA
Hey guy with experience on f-ing up the hard-drive if you push it back into the device instead of having to take the whole thing apart again just use one of the long screws to get it back up then once you're done unscrew it and replace it with a small one
Well damn.. I went through the whole prosess and when I turn the Xbox on, it gets hot and shuts off. Gonna have to take it apart again. Thanks a bunch for this detailed video btw! Edit: turned out I hadn’t connected the fan, now it works fine again. On a side note, I compared RDR2 fan noise before and after, and it’s only been reduced by a few decibels. Measuring at up to 45 DB’s from the side. But seems like this is normal due to the heavy nature of the game.
I just took apart my Xbox upside down. So I had to take everything outand put the motherboard back in. So the ports fit wity the back of the case. Then I proceeded to screw in all the screws. I found the best way to put the top cover back on, line it up at the bottom with the hinges/gaps. And then close it and then gently push the other side of the last thing you screwed in. I never wanna see the inside of an Xbox again. But thank you so much i cleaned it and can now sell it with confidence
For the CPU: NT-H2 Noctua thermal paste and the thermal pads: EC360 Silver (2mm, 12 W/mk) ..works like a charm quiet and cool with Red Dead Redemption 2.
I took my Xbox One X apart almost a year ago, and was only able to fix it now. I couldn't remember which screws went where, so this really helped. Thanks!

Literally a king
27:29 Does the white square there need to be there or can I take it off ? Would it really affect anything ?
That is probably a thermal pad for a chip or some sort of anti-short pad. It serves a purpose..
Why would you remove anything the factory put in place?

Awsome video. THank you. Made replacing my power supply beyond easy.
Glad it helped!
Awesome video, great help. Thank you!
If one *does* want to replace the crappy stock thermal playdoh that shrinks (mine had huge cracks everywhere, much worse than what's visible at 21:48), you'll need 2mm thick thermal pads. These need to be silicone based and squishy (like a memory foam pillow), which most generic/noname chinese junk isn't (they're more like rubber, fairly hard and don't compress much). EC360, Phobya, EKWB and Thermal Grizzly pads work (ascending order in terms of price). You'll need to cover all the RAM chips dotted around the CPU/APU, and don't forget about the thin strip for the voltage regulators. If you buy a sheet of the stuff (like 100x100mm), you can cut it to size with either scissors (bit ugly) or box cutters (with a fresh blade preferably)
Worked like a charm great video
Thanks a lot for the guide!
Unfortunately I wasnt careful and RIPPED OUT the front USB/Sync button pins. I was about to praise microsoft for easy assembly until this happened..
Question: how often do you change you thermal pads?
I was amazed at how fast my thermal paste dried out, mine overheated while playing a simple 2D game so I went ahead & repasted it yesterday! Lol
Thank u so much I woke up this morning and I kicked the Xbox on accident and the front panel fell off and I didn't know what to do but this really helped and now I can play my Xbox 😀
Thanks for your awesome video. The most helpful!

Not as long as you clean it all up and make sure it dries.
@@MrMario2011 thanks 🤙👍
excellent video just helped me re-paste my sons Xbox one x hopefully it'll not sound like a jet engine now 👍
Glad it helped!
Thank you.. excellent video and very easy to follow 👍
This was super helpful. My xbox started overheating, and looks like it was the thermal paste. Thank you for doing this video even though its 4 yrs old. HA HA
This was very helpful man thank you!
Glad it helped!
Hey guy with experience on f-ing up the hard-drive if you push it back into the device instead of having to take the whole thing apart again just use one of the long screws to get it back up then once you're done unscrew it and replace it with a small one
The back port IO shield fell off, and it won't go back on, does that mean it is broken or is there some trick im missing out on?
You earned a like and sub from me just for that top cover reassembly!
I swear I made this video just for that part 🤣
Well damn.. I went through the whole prosess and when I turn the Xbox on, it gets hot and shuts off. Gonna have to take it apart again. Thanks a bunch for this detailed video btw!
Edit: turned out I hadn’t connected the fan, now it works fine again. On a side note, I compared RDR2 fan noise before and after, and it’s only been reduced by a few decibels. Measuring at up to 45 DB’s from the side. But seems like this is normal due to the heavy nature of the game.
Holy crap thank you I have spent a half hour trying to get this dam thing lid back on hahaha Ty Ty Ty - :) ❤❤❤
That's exactly why I made this whole video LOL
One X is my favourite console, I have the Cyberpunk edition 🤫
Ironic that Cyberpunk 2077 could barely play on it hah
@@MrMario2011 True bro, I still haven't completed the first level 😅
@@PLAY-pc5xd that edition looks pretty cool
Good job but remember, the SSD has no platters. It's a solid state, meaning no mechanical parts.
Really informative tutorial though.
That's solid advice.
Thx man, verry good you explained.
Verry helpful!
Glad it helped!
I just took apart my Xbox upside down. So I had to take everything outand put the motherboard back in. So the ports fit wity the back of the case. Then I proceeded to screw in all the screws. I found the best way to put the top cover back on, line it up at the bottom with the hinges/gaps. And then close it and then gently push the other side of the last thing you screwed in. I never wanna see the inside of an Xbox again. But thank you so much i cleaned it and can now sell it with confidence
I put a 1tb ssd in mine. Can't seem to get the damn top cover back on no matter what 😮
For the CPU: NT-H2 Noctua thermal paste and the thermal pads: EC360 Silver (2mm, 12 W/mk) ..works like a charm quiet and cool with Red Dead Redemption 2.
A most excellent video… thanks 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was very helpful thank you
