How to Clean an Xbox One

Cleaning your Xbox prolongs the life of it, especially the model we talk about today. I removed the dust in a previous video I did on my Xbox One, hence why it's not so dusty in this video.

You're 100% right Hypno, and I'm sorry I didn't detail it enough. The blue ribbon cable should of had better angles, as well as putting the case back on. There is a pinned comment on this video of how to put the case back on ALOT easier than the way I've explained. Hope the rest of it wasn't too bad! I have learned 😁😁

[@JoeyDoesTech]

It's horrendous right Steely? Great satisfaction after doing it though. Well in mate for getting it done :) 👌

[@freshkiller2550]

The best way to do it is to insert at like a 45 degree angle to put all the hinges together and then force it in on the right side opposite of the side you took the plastic cover off and it should just sit in place in the back hinges very easily. Took me a while too😂but finally figured it out

Aye thankyou so much! Really appreciate the kind words. At least like you said, you now get practice doing it.

[@thehuntressdanni2972]

For anyone who doesn't have a proper prying tool.... Here's some potential alternatives that you might have laying around your house that can also likely do the job. A fingernail kit: the metal tool that cleans underneath your nails. The spatula from a Cricut tool set. ***(So long as you make sure that it doesn't bend or damage the spatula when prying as it is only intended to lift lightweight vinyl and cardstock. Not gaming console parts lol)*** A flat part of a metal hairclip The top metal piece on nail clippers that flips around. (So long as it's thin enough to get in between the pieces) A thin butter knife. For the makeup people... If you've got a tarte lash applicator tool, or similar, this will possibly do the trick. Just be careful you don't scratch the finish on your lash applicator in the process. A sturdy set of brow tweezers might work, too.

[@graham1188]

If anyone has issues with disc's not going in or ejecting, even after using the manual eject button, I had those exact issues. I took the Xbox apart and pulled the disc drive out, pulled the cover off the disc drive and found that the pulley system that actually turns to pull the disc in was loose. The belt on one of the pulleys was loose and I realized the pulley itself had popped out of its proper location. I pushed it back in place with a flat head, the belt tightened and I reassembled the Xbox, and now the disc drive works fine.

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Thanks for sharing your experience Graham, hopefully that helps other people :)

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I was so scared to open this one! I already scratched it from the video before which is why it was a bit easier to do it this time round. All I can say is just make sure you watch enough videos until you feel confident enough to do it :) For me I didn't play my Xbox One that much so it wasn't a huge deal to me, but can see why it would be such a big deal to someone who plays on it a lot! Best of luck, let me know how it goes when you get round to it :) Thanks for watching!

[@reecefacer2223]

When putting Xbox back together an easier way to do it is that there are clips at top front of case you can separate the case into 2 pieces should make it easy to connect.

[@swagmenpodcast1066]

When your putting the final shell on there’s a much easier way if you look under the top shell there’s a bunch clips holding the top and front shell together. Unclip tham and the front should come free from the top then put the front shell on first and the top second. Hope this helps

How much force do you need to close the part where you need to clip over the vent bcs I've been trying for quite a bit and bothing

It's one of the hardest parts. You won't need to put TOO much force as most of it is technique. You want to try your best to push the case up and over rather than just straight force. Does that make sense? Let me know how you get on!

[@SpeedDemon8706]

Great guide! So, I know you asked to post about this in the comments.... So, I found a much easier way to attach the top cover during the final reassembly. I removed the face plate from the top cover. This made it so much easier to attach the ribbon cable. I attached the face plate to the console, pulled the face plate away just a bit and attached the top cover to the face plate and worked from front to back of the console. Much easier. Anyways, great video!! Hope this helps!

Tip from JoshFi like a 1 year ago "IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE PUTTING THE TOP BACK ON: take the front panel (the one with disk and power buttons) off from the top panel (one with the vent for the fan.) Put on the small front panel on FIRST and THEN put on the larger top panel. It may take some wiggling but it is FAR easier than just putting the whole thing on normally. HOPE THIS HELPED"

Okay so I found the problem. My power supply pack immediately turns off when I plug it into my console. I tried resetting the power pack but every time I plug it into my console, the power brick shuts off. I don't know why it randomly decided to stop working. It's been working fine until I decided to clean the console. Maybe I did something wrong to the console? Maybe it's detecting some kind of problem that it's shutting off as a safety precaution?

When you put your Xbox back together, and you have the black plate to put on the Xbox or the shell, you can separate it into two pieces by looking at the black plates inside where the blue ribbon is, and there are these little latches that you can take off which allows you to separate the front of the black plate and the top of the black plate which allows you to put the top on first and on the front on last which makes it 10 times easier putting the blue ribbon on and putting it back together hope this helps.

I love u dude u save me

Hmmn I'm surprised I haven't found a video of someone using a left blower vs opening it up. Ppl are adventurous

[@JoeyDoesTech]

I didn't even think of it to be honest!

Im 4 years late to the party! But m8!..Thank you so much, i have 4 kids! So you are literally a life saver 😊✌️💚

[@FPS0Russia0fan1]

Hey so at the end I was able to easily put it back together the first time. After some examination I found out that the top part of the Xbox and the front part with the power button come apart. So when I took it apart (which also made reconnecting the power button cable alot easier) Viola the top part snapped right back on. Easy peasy. I am surprised that my Xbox hasn't caught fire with how filthy it was lol!

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Good job man! Is it the first time you've ever taken a console apart? Sounds like it went alright :D

[@mattblake9763]

I found an easier way to reassemble the top. detach the top from the front then attach the front to the console then line up the top onto the console and it slides on to the console so much easier. one try.

[@xdnsnsnfwndjdbd5384]

Thank you so much me and my dad were having so much trouble and I found your comment and did it easily 😊

[@ShadysGalaxy]

I got up the mother board part since I didnt have the screw... so I had to put everything back on and the ribbon I got to say was the hardest for me but I will for sure use this video in the future when I got the right sized screw

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Did you manage to give it a bit of a clean getting up to the motherboard part? If so good job :) Thanks for watching and good luck when you attempt it again!

[@dalemonroyalarcon5009]

Thank you for this! Got my son some new sonic games for his birthday to come and find out the disc reader hadnt been working, after some digging around in the console i found a spider man kids magnet lodged up inside and was able to remove and fix the xbox entirely, as well as give it a nice clean up to make it good as new!

[@hollieanne2401]

Omg thank you I took my husband's xbox apart to clean it and couldn't figure out how to get the shell back on...after seeing the force you used I did the same and it finally clicked after an hour and a half trying to figure it out...he would have been so mad

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Ayeee nice :) good job

[@slayerfgc6910]

Thanks man this really helped this was the only video that actually looked accurate and just a question is it safe to use air in a can and spray like on the main part of the Xbox like the engine looking thing

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Glad it helped dude! Yeah that's fine to get the dust off the board, just be careful with the can of air because if you're shaking it around it can release a water like substance if you shake it too much! As long as it's air, you're all good :)

Can I just send you my xbox to clean it 😂😂

I was pretty nervous to even take the thing apart. But your video made a huge difference! Thank you, sir.

What do you mean sorry pal?

[@jonasschjerning1319]

geez i feel the last clip was the hardest, getting the top back on took me like 15 tries tho

Ayee you done it though :D

Good show, got it back together with a bit of finagling on the 1st shot!

[@pazzyshifter]

Just used your video to clean my Xbox One for the first time, never did it before and it is about as old as when it came out! I even got the case to snap on perfectly first try. : D Thank you for making the video, the few others I found were a bit hard to follow to be honest, I can see why this is your most popular video! (I think? I'm not good with tech, or KZbin, or the internet in general... haha)

[@ZechWithAnE]

The first of the two prongs that hold the clips you pull over to get the shell back on. I just broke it off and it makes putting back on easy

[@strawhat4669]

I’ve been trying for a hour to get my case back on and I can’t I’m getting really mad plz help me

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Honestly, my best advice is just to try and stay calm, and if need be take a break (whether that be a couple hours or overnight) just to reset :) Give it another go afterwards. Best bet is to push the case up rather than diagonal, that's the best way to describe it.

[@kell_jacob_l]

Thanks, this really helped, it was my first time ever cleaning a console. Can you do an Xbox 360 cleaning as well, please

[@JoeyDoesTech]

More than happy to help :) I don't own a 360 currently, but I might buy one :D

[@vaddok91]

it is necessary to disassemble it only if there is overheating and the fan makes a loud noise, but in this case it is also advisable to replace the thermal paste, for many owners of the original xbox one for 7-8 years their consoles both worked quietly and will continue to work.

[@justwatchinc123]

Would suggest taking the front piece that the power button is on off of the rest of the shell when reassembling so much easier

[@ThaOneGuy_21]

Couldn’t put my last shell back on end up shotting my with AR-15

[@JoeyDoesTech]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@99999MoN]

Thank you! Putting it back together was a real pain but I took a lunch break and it worked after that. Building a custom PC is much easier, those damn clips are a huge pain in the.. Anyways thank you for this awesome tutorial

[@JoeyDoesTech]

No worries dude! Thankyou for choosing to watch it :) Yeah taking a break is exactly what I done...

[@brandonr5317]

Absolutely helpful video man! Tip for putting the shell back on is removing the front cover from the shell. Place the front plate down first in position then attach the back portion of the shell followed by attaching shell to the front plate. Way easier that way! Thanks for the guide!

[@justindeleon3944]

bless u in everyway

[@Opcrumb]

You’re a lifesaver. I took like an hour trying to figure out how to push the shell back on but this method is way easier. Thank you.

@@kyifromig4039 I'd suggest the torx 8 and 10. You might be able to get away with 9 and 10, but 8 and 10 is best :) 10 for the big screws when you first start taking the xbox apart, and 8 for the smaller ones :) good job btw!
