Cleaning the DUSTIEST Xbox on the Planet! | Xbox One S

How to disassemble and safely clean your Xbox One S. In this video I demonstrate how to take apart and restore your console to factory quality! This job requires a screwdriver set, T9 and T8 bits, 91% rubbing alcohol, and new thermal compound. Start by removing the warranty sticker on the back of the console. The bottom plate can by removed with a flathead driver, prying against the white upper shell of the Xbox. Next, we will remove the screws. All screws besides the black screws will use the T9 bit. The longer screws we start with hold the top onto the device. The next set of shorter silver screws hold other components to the bottom of the frame. The black screws require the T8 bit and hold down the heatsink. After flipping the console back over, pulling from the back, upward you can now remove the top of the console. Next, you can lift the RF shield off as well. There are a series of cables to unclip as you remove the power supply and the hard drive and disk drive. The X bracket on the back of the motherboard is removed by gently prying up the edges of the bracket. Make sure to hold the fan while flipping the board back over afterward!
* All electronics were cleaned with 91% Isopropyl, compressed canned air was used to remove the dust, and micro-fiber towels were used to clean fragile surfaces, not all of the cleaning was included in this video. *

you can't even see the black plastic of the fan, it's that gross, I', gonna clean it some time tonight though, it's so dirty it doesn't even turn on, it used to sound like a cargo jet, and would over heat just by running the main menu. it's an old man.

This one belonged to a friend but it was on its last leg. I'm surprised it survived this long honestly. Hope you managed to save yours

That dust was so caked on the vents I showed my friend and he almost thought it was tobacco. Lmao

[@GamesPlusInternet]

It was pretty gross! Thankfully I managed to get this one cleaned up before it harmed the console

I mean, depending on who has it before, he might not be wrong, believe it not. Just indirectly. From what I heard, sometimes in a smoker's home, electronics and stuff can get very dusty.

[@schoonthegoon3874]

Its from smoking indoors a lot of xboxs look like this and people will never know because they dont have tools or money to get there consols clean. Even my homie he cleans his house daily but he smokes indoors weed tabacco when we cleaned his xbox it was a shock. Its just a cake build up of dust and Residue left from smoke thays why its so brown. hope that helps a bit :)

Remember to swap in a 2TB solid state drive for that Xbox One S so it must run its fastest of them all.

[@alexwalter9819]

kinda scared to clean mine cuz the outside looks worse than the outside of this one

[@GamesPlusInternet]

I believe in you! Also I have found, occasionally the dust on the outside will act as a secondary filter once it has started to build up. Most of the dust is trapped in other dust and the inside really doesn't get much worse after a while

Try your luck with mine,it was littered and caked with golf balls size of dust littering the inside and outside of the frame and case,sadly when I go to clean it I found out that it died do to being so dirty,took me over 8 hours to the thing

[@FrancisTraynor]

you done a good job of taking it apart and cleaning but you never plugged it back into your TV to proof it actually worked and played both games and bluray

I hope who ever owns this xbox now thats it been professionally cleaned and thermal paste replaced that It will be taken care of better. I dust my furniture once tontwice a week depending. Speaking of which I'm buying dust cover for all my consoles. I baby te hell out of all mine. Even the used ones I've bough I take very good care of

Man how is therr that much dust? Like what untouched for 10 year room did this sit in? Its impressive for someones house to accumulate that much dust. It had to be sitting somewhere in a storage shed or something for a long time. Not just in a normal occupied bedroom in a normal house or apartment

[@schoonthegoon3874]

Its just a cake build up of dust and Residue left from smoke thats why its so brown. Someone been blazin or smokin ciggys b2b indoors. No one knows whats really in there consol until you open it. Hope that helps a bit :)

[@Novica89]

I wonder... I've recently cleaning my series s and replaced thermal paste on it as well. I only removed the thermal paste that was on top of the chip and the fan of course, didn't touch the one that was previously "spilt" over the board from the chip since I was afraid that I'm going to damage some of the connectors on the chip that had been stuck in the paste. Does that matter all that much in terms of heating the board? Also, I kind of used maybe half the amount of thermal paste than you did in this video, maybe I used too little? Kind of used literally pea size (or a tad smaller) and spread it all over the chip to cover it whole myself before placing the fan on. As a PC gamer my whole life, I expected a lot better results in regards to console not heating up while playing a bit more demanding games, but I don't feel like it helped all that much (it wasn't too dusty though at all, but thought thermal paste replacement should drop temps down a bit more than it did).

[@GamesPlusInternet]

Different themal paste is more or less conductive than others and this could be the issue you are having with your system performance. Additionally the fan may be losing power or any combination of these issues.

[@Novica89]

@@GamesPlusInternet cooler master brand should be fine and better than the one on the console by default,.no? Makes sense for them to use cheaper paste to save money and almost any thermal paste that is custom bought should be better than the stock one that is 2 years old.

Are you able to use the alcohol in the ports for cleaning ??

[@GamesPlusInternet]

Isopropyl Alcohol is nonconductive and will evaporate cleanly. Many people use alcohol to safely clean their electronics including charging ports

[@johnathanbradley8672]

Do You Need The Thermal Paste ?

[@olancruzrobertocarlos3522]

Yes, the use of that its to properly dissipate heat from CPU to the fan without it the CPU may heat more often which means that the performance of the console will be affected
