@@cuactemocmeza9094 mine neither! even when the pads get ripped off I can't see this "hole" hes talking about and i dont see and screws. i literally can't fix it
Thanks for the help I’m 17 and I was able to do this like a breeze it got the job done and my Xbox went from loud broken noises to peace and quiet thanks 🙏
I am doing this to fix that because it is already broke so why not do it also you can try fixing it but from what I am seeing you will have to buy a new which is pretty cheap its only like 20 bucks so there is that or you can try to fix it you self or bring it to a repair shop and see if they can fix it
The T10 sockets on my adapter have a small metal pin in the middle, meaning that the T10 head can't get in. Is there any other way to get the case off?
Thank you kind sir this helped me greatly, I don't get why they have blocked the vents from the motherboard itself, how can dust flow freely if there is plastic blocking it
Thanks man didn't know how to open mine kept turning off the xbox because of the thermal sensor ventilator was stuck in the layers of dust xD. Never had ventilator stuck this bad lol
Is it bad that my fan was already exposed ??!! … like it was just laying on top of the motherboard when I took off the first cover.. taped to the cover and plugged into the mother board
I just recommend it because I use it and it has the bits needed. I listed the 3 types of bits needed also so you are free to find something that will work for you. Most UA-cam videos say what they are using because usually you get a lot of comments asking what it was. I like to provide as much info as possible to help as many people as possible. Thanks for watching!
went to take the screws out, the first two stripped with absolutely no problems. barely any resistance just ripped the screws apart. i’ve never taken it apart before so i didn’t overtighten the screws. step 1 is a fail so i can’t even get the half’s apart.
I though I could take my power box apart and clean the fan out pretty easy. but the inside of my powerbox makes me think the fan isn't the issue. that silicone goop is just lathered all over the board. I looks like an absolute bukaki
I'm sure it will work initially, but the components will degrade faster and eventually burn out quickly. How fast this might happen for the power brick is unknown. If the power brick destroys itself, it could send a surge of power to the console and kill it too. Think of it like a car that doesn't have any coolant. The car will initially turn on and run fine but start driving it down the road and you'll start hearing knocking as the engine overheats and becomes warped and eventually destroys itself because it can't cool down quick enough.
I didn't have the tools able to open this, but it works when I plugged it in a outlet then plugged the cord to the brick. But it just stops working when I plug it in my Xbox one. Please tell me what's the issue I'm not technical savvy
Do you know what causes a power brick to go bad? Mine took a dump recently. Bought a new aftermarket one. The original had the amber light on but every time I touched the power button I would here a very faint turn on chime but the system wouldn't turn on. I've had it for years. Maybe it just got old.🤷♂️
That exact symptom is one or multiple capacitors going bad. Check out this post to see what some bad ones look like. www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/gm1ljq/faulty_capacitors_in_xbox_one_power_brick/ So technically you could just replace the bad capacitors but you would need to understand basic soldering and own a soldering iron and purchase the capacitors. Alternatively, aftermarket power bricks are cheap. If you do own a soldering iron then you should be able to just buy the capacitor and fix it for around $2.
Since that piece is already damaged, I would just take a philips head screwdriver and chisel out only the plastic piece in the hole that would be attached to the rubber. I know it's not the best solution but it's something I think anyone can do and the damage should be localized to that hole and not the rest of the power brick.
Sorry for the super late reply!!! I hope you figured it out. If not, what exact part are you stuck at? You can tell me what minute you got stuck at based on the video. If you did get the top off I'd be glad to hear what caused the issue.
I had exactly this problem, and basically I just needed to pull hard as there was some sort of white compound sticking it down. Wiggling it and pulling eventually got it off with no damage
Good morning bro, tell me, the xbox 360 power brick fan work for a replacement piece on x one power brick? My power brick fan on og xbox one didnt work anymore, and i have a good power brick of my old 360 here, can i use the fan in my x one power brick?
If it is the og Xbox one then it may work. I can't find the exact dimensions of the fans but the housing looks very similar. They are both 12v so that is not an issue. I would give it a try. If it does fit please let me know.
@@MikeLikesThat sure brotha, i already change some capacitors but the power brick constantly power off randomly, and i running out options, the white light turn on but they turn orange minutes after
It may just be the angle and the video is never still enough to tell but is that purple capacitor starting to bulge? The one by itself on the lower right of the supply (near the three green ones)? If so, you're gonna want to change it out. Either way, nice video! PS: the real danger isn't the caps you pointed to but the massive two on the other side (the ones laying down). Those will absolutely hurt you if charged and you bridge them with a finger or hand
I know they do have different variations of the brick but should be relatively the same. Out of the two models I have taken apart they were removable. They may not be removable in others or may need to be disassembled in a slightly different way.
@@MikeLikesThat thanks man n it seems weird as there's no screw holes or clips or anything seems fused together there is a joi line but even with some force it won't move even slightly. This is a day one xbox one so don't k ow if that was a change they made on an update. Thanks again anyway man. Your the only person I've seen get into they vents and clear them the rest of the tutorials just do the fan but I was thinking surely a clean fan sucking air through a blocked vent is still a problem lol
For the power supply featured in this video I don't have it in person, but based on the footage I believe the intake is from all the holes on the glossy side and the exhaust is on the matte side. This is based on how the dust build up is mostly in the fan cage and not all the other holes. If this is the case then blowing air into the matte side will most likely do nothing when cleaning the device. You will at least have to get to the fan cage to clean out the dust buildup. Alternatively, if you see dust build up on the matte side through the slits, then you may be able to use tweezers to help pool the dust balls through.
So I did all the cleaning and stuff , the brick orange light comes on but the Xbox is not turning on, what could be the issue, before it used to shut itself randomly in an hour or in a minute
I broke mine yo. It needed cleaned and so I’d smack it until it stopped and then I just started punching it cause it wouldn’t stop and then it just powered off and now something is loose…
There are no real replacements for the feet but if you would like to still have feet you can buy rubber stoppers like these and stick them on. www.amazon.com/dp/B01N922DLO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_P3AN36NM4RDZN24E0YP5
Got a uses xbox off of Facebook a few months ago. Today the powerbrick popped and went orange. Opened it up to see nothing resembling yours. It looks like a chinese sweat shop knockoff. Glue everywhere. Half the components missing and every part was bent. It worked for several month though so I cant complain.
Bruh. didn't know that there is a fan inside. im worrying so much because of the buzzing sound coming from the adapter, until i saw that there is a fan inside. so its normal to have a slight buzzing sound.
The buzzing sound is most likely due to the fan being dirty or failing. All electronics give off a high pitched tone but a buzzing sound could be the fan.
Hmm... my instructions did not show to break the fan wire. If you broke it by accident then you can look for a replacement fan by looking up this part# AB5512HX-G00 on Amazon or eBay.
The T10 sockets on my adapter have a small metal pin in the middle, meaning that the T10 head can't get in. Is there any other way to get the case off?
You would need a T10 Security head to open it up. An alternative is to use a small quantity built flat head screwdriver. With the flat head being small you can wedge it between the center pin and the star points. You can then remove it like a normal screw or you might actually break off the center pin so you can use your T10 bit.

how do i remove those metal things thats in between the screws
This is one of the best tutorials there is explains every detail clear and no unnecessary talk or muttering ten out of ten many thanks Rob
Rubber feet pads definitely the hardest part, I gave up and just ripped them out like a savage
My doesn't have screwa under it
@@cuactemocmeza9094 mine neither! even when the pads get ripped off I can't see this "hole" hes talking about and i dont see and screws. i literally can't fix it
Thanks Microsoft for already warping the screws so much that's it impossible to open 👍🏻
Kudos this is one of the best videos I've viewed. Helps he puts the power brick up closer so you can see it better 🎉
Great video man, super educational and I love how it's hardly edited
Thank you! And that was my goal to not edit it too much. I knew there were too many videos that were cut down and missing some steps.
Thank you, mine was desperate for a clean. I don't know how mines been surviving for this long without a clean 😬
Thanks for the help I’m 17 and I was able to do this like a breeze it got the job done and my Xbox went from loud broken noises to peace and quiet thanks 🙏
This helped a lot, thank you so much!
Edit: when I reassembled everything, the status led was light orange and now it doesn't come on 🥺
I am doing this to fix that because it is already broke so why not do it also you can try fixing it but from what I am seeing you will have to buy a new which is pretty cheap its only like 20 bucks so there is that or you can try to fix it you self or bring it to a repair shop and see if they can fix it
I don’t know if this is because mine’s from 2014 but I don’t see any little holes to take off the rubber feet
The T10 sockets on my adapter have a small metal pin in the middle, meaning that the T10 head can't get in. Is there any other way to get the case off?
Hey my rubber feet has the holes but I can’t seem to stab through them I need some help
Thank you kind sir this helped me greatly, I don't get why they have blocked the vents from the motherboard itself, how can dust flow freely if there is plastic blocking it
Is that noita music?
So. The rubber pads don't wanna come off
Mine isn’t the exact same as yours but I still got it
Thanks man didn't know how to open mine kept turning off the xbox because of the thermal sensor ventilator was stuck in the layers of dust xD. Never had ventilator stuck this bad lol
Do you know what fan i need to purchase for replacement?
Is it bad that my fan was already exposed ??!! … like it was just laying on top of the motherboard when I took off the first cover.. taped to the cover and plugged into the mother board

What should i do if they were already stripped
Could you tell me how long are the t10 screws? I missed mines. Thanks.
went to take the screws out, the first two stripped with absolutely no problems. barely any resistance just ripped the screws apart. i’ve never taken it apart before so i didn’t overtighten the screws. step 1 is a fail so i can’t even get the half’s apart.

Great vid easy to follow along with. Would recommend to others.
What happens if I just remove the fan? Does it still works without one?
I'm sure it will work initially, but the components will degrade faster and eventually burn out quickly. How fast this might happen for the power brick is unknown. If the power brick destroys itself, it could send a surge of power to the console and kill it too.
Think of it like a car that doesn't have any coolant. The car will initially turn on and run fine but start driving it down the road and you'll start hearing knocking as the engine overheats and becomes warped and eventually destroys itself because it can't cool down quick enough.
Well explained, thanks a lot bro!!
Glad I could help!
My T10 sockets have a small metal pin in the centre meaning the T10 head literally can't even fit. Any suggestions on how to get round this?
You need a security bit that has the hole in the middle to allow for the small nob to slot in
On my power supply there is nothing but plastic nubs u see the rubber feet? 🤔
I didn't have the tools able to open this, but it works when I plugged it in a outlet then plugged the cord to the brick. But it just stops working when I plug it in my Xbox one. Please tell me what's the issue I'm not technical savvy
It sounds like the power brick has a bad capacitor. I would recommend buying a new power brick.

Mine doesn't have t10 screws more like wedges now sure what to do they look like plastic with a ovel in them
Am I the only one with screws torqued so tight I can’t un do them
I just dug out the rubber
Bro I can’t take them out they are so tight 💀
i broke the rubber feet trying to take it out and i can’t get access to the screws because of it, what can i do
Since that piece is already damaged, I would just take a philips head screwdriver and chisel out only the plastic piece in the hole that would be attached to the rubber. I know it's not the best solution but it's something I think anyone can do and the damage should be localized to that hole and not the rest of the power brick.
Im so pissed. Whenever I try to do this shit my self the screws are always so tight that they strip when I try to take them out
Mine has a motherboard. How do I remove that?
Hey, my top didnt come off and the bottom did. I was wondering if you could help. I cant access anything and i dont wanna break it

Is the kit you used to work on this the basic one from Best Buy?
I have the Manta but the on sale $14.99 Moray kit has all the bits you will need to get into the power supply or Xbox.

Yes this was a bad power brick and 3 caps were bulging. I opened this one up only for the video and was not used again. Good eye!
Thanks for this I suddenly heard a loud pop and thought it was my brick
Great video but my brick isn't like that inside can't get to the vents
I know they do have different variations of the brick but should be relatively the same. Out of the two models I have taken apart they were removable. They may not be removable in others or may need to be disassembled in a slightly different way.

Most likely one of the capacitors inside the power brick is going bad or has gone bad. You may need to replace it.
The screws were almost smashed in? I have no idea how this happened and someone must’ve touched it at Microsoft … really weird
I have a t10 screw but it doesn't fit for some reason
Is it a T10 security bit? Aka the bit has a hole in the end.
Thanks for not telling us how hard ts is
what's the purpose of this brick ?
It converts the AC power from your wall outlet into DC power for the console.
Thank you so much Sir 💚☺️
Thanks homie !
I broke mine yo. It needed cleaned and so I’d smack it until it stopped and then I just started punching it cause it wouldn’t stop and then it just powered off and now something is loose…
My power brick doesn't have screws it has a black block in the center
The rubber bits are so hard to get off
Lol yes they are
What can I do if I accidentally break the rubber?
There are no real replacements for the feet but if you would like to still have feet you can buy rubber stoppers like these and stick them on. www.amazon.com/dp/B01N922DLO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glc_fabc_P3AN36NM4RDZN24E0YP5

same, little pads didnt pop out i had to rip them off...theres nowhere for torx to fit anywhere
Who ever the fuck made this power brick can't even put all 4 of the same screws one of them I had was different than the others
Those little screws were glued in on mine wtf
Someone put my fan in the wrong way..... I knew something wasn't right
And it's not my problem...... Life is fun.... Wooo
Not one helpful comment to my problem 😅
Did you seriously reassemble that and you didnt clean it? W.T.F !?!?!?!?
Lol yes I did. I wanted to have as little cuts as possible. Rest assured it was fully cleaned after recording this.
Thanks to you my fan wire is broken now
Hmm... my instructions did not show to break the fan wire. If you broke it by accident then you can look for a replacement fan by looking up this part# AB5512HX-G00 on Amazon or eBay.
