How well does the fan spin? Use your hand to give the internal fan a spin. If it is tough for the fan to move then the fan might need to be replaced. When the fan is needed to cool the console, it takes more power for it to spin because the bearing inside is bad, so the console shuts down to protect

Goo Gone is also excellent to use to remove the old dried gray heat sink compound. Follow it with alcohol to remove residue. I then used a hot air gun to reflow solder on the chip until the visible solder became shiny liquid and let it cool off without bumping it for an hour, just in case the excessive heat had caused micro-gaps in the chips internal solder connections (due to the low melting point solder they sometimes use in Xbox 360). Then replaced the gray heatsink compound with the white type Z9 silicone heat sink compound from GC electronics. After reassembly, no more screen freezing up. Works fine now. By the way, I made my own Xclamp removal tool and it worked great. Just as good as the official Xclamp removal tool.

Andrew Paul, so you don't have to spread the paste evenly on the surface before setting the heatsink? I work with 1200A IGBTs. We have to spread the thermal paste evenly on the IGBT with a roller before installing on the heatsink. As you said in your video, it only needs a small layer of paste.
@AndrewPaul
@AndrewPaul 7 жыл бұрын
No mate - once the clamp is reinstalled and screwed down then it'll distribute itself evenly across the die. The only tip is to make sure both the die and heatsink surface are completely cleared of old paste.

@AndrewPaul
@AndrewPaul 4 жыл бұрын
If you look on the legs of the heatsink, you'll see some notches. Take the X-Clamp and slide the hook into one of the notches on any leg. Then manoeuvre the clamp into position so you can push it down over the opposite leg to the one you've previously hooked on. It should click onto the leg, seating into the notch. Repeat for the other two legs - it can be fiddly, just don't be tempted to force it. If it's troublesome, bend the legs of the clamp out very slightly which can help.

The heatsink is a solid piece - there's no reason to need to replace that unless it's physically broken. Again though, not sure how you'd do that considering it's a fairly substantial piece of aluminium. If you've had the heat sink off then you should always replace the thermal compound as part of the procedure. If the fan is noisy or no longer spins then replace it. Otherwise just do the paste and you should be fine.

@AndrewPaul

Yeah that was the theory. Most often though it was down to internal silicon faults within the flip chip BGA which is why so many re-occurred shortly afterwards. Most people just carried on torquing it down and torquing it down though - then removed the washers and ruined the board when all that was needed was a replacement GPU. I don't miss the 360's lol.

Actually I bought a 360 with 3 RROD lights, a thermal paste kit that had tools, bolts, washers and plastic washers for the board to replace the X-clamps, citrus oil to remove the leftover paste residue and a weblink for any help. Didn't need the help BUT it fixed the RROD issue, code 73 if I remember right for the GPU issue where is would either throw the code OR flash lines that were actually the compressed graphics or lines throughout the screen with odd colors. After the fix I played Halo 4 for hers straight BUT the real test was Battlefield 4 for 4 hrs. After moving we lent it to a buddy whose had it running for 3yrs now with little kids that watch tv with it, no gaming and not a single issue. My XB1 has had trouble running one game and it had a high revved fan for about ten secs. Took it apart to a lot of dust which seemed to fix the issue BUT I may do the thermal paste since it is over 4yrs old, 2 of which wasn't my unit. Thanks for the easy and concise vid, keep you posted as to my progress IF it ends up being a paste problem.

question, if the fan ain't turning on will it automatically go Into power off mode? I got a broken xbox that turns on and off right away. Also didn't come with the original sdd.

It will go into Thermal Protection mode and shut down shortly after attempting to start but if it's coming up white LED and off after a second or two then that's something else entirely (usually APU or Southbridge-based).

If the supply is bouncing from Orange to white then you're either missing a voltage rail or have a bad Southbridge BGA.

supply works perfect on another xbox one and is brand new. I'm new to this sort, what I was going to try is to put new thermal paste on and a new fan. but sounds like it may be bigger than what it's worth, if the apu is shot. deff not scared to tackle it though.

Ah ok. My Xbox One has started to switch off (like if you pull the plug out) after 8-10 mins of gaming. It was fine a few days ago playing on it around 2 hours daily - then 1 day I played on it for about 5 hours straight - it is in a well ventilated spot. Power up & browsing through home screens/store is fine, no issues any length of time. When I game, it switches off after 8-10mins, psu led goes red, then orange, most times it starts up again, sometimes not. I followed your procedure, existing paste was dried out, applied new MX4 but no change :-( Do you think it is wasted or a psu issue?

Try a friends PSU if you can, failing that it could well be APU related.

Turns out it was the capacitors in the replacement chinese psu that came with it - replaced & now runs fine.

Use WD40 and and old toothbrush to get the dried thermal paste off. Soak the chip if u like, WD40 is oil based so no shorts.

Sure did but if your issue is down to defective hardware then it's not likely to do much - this was just down to badly baked thermal paste.

The only reasons those should be overheating would be poor ventilation or a factory defect somewhere. My lauch console has never overheated. Microsoft went overkill on the fan and heat-sink.

use an air compressor with a blow gun and blow out the heat sink and fan. try to hold the blades so the blow gun doesn't spin it too fast an mess up the bearings or what not. and i guess if you wanted; you can use ipa on a q-tip on the fan blades if you were ocd about it. if you decided to use an air compressor and blow gun on the motherboard itself to get the dust off you need to turn the pressure down because high air pressure can create static electricity. you can buy anti-static duster cans but its just not worth the money imho. i'm not paying $10 a can when i got an air compressor.

Andrew Paul adding too much thermal past causing too much heat has been debunked and actually makes no difference in temps.

Dude just buy a screwdriver for a few bucks online. Also, don't get your thermal paste everywhere even if you plan on cleaning it. It's conductive and could cause a short.

Hello so my xbox one turned off my itself yesterday will downloading a game I've had it since I was in middle school now I'm a graduate. It's never happened before until now. I try to turn it on and only last 15 or 20 seconds with the light on but it never connects with the tv I see and hear the fan spinning but it turns off after 15-20 seconds. Is this one of the solutions that could help my problem with the xbox one? I opened the xbox to clean it and it wasn't that dirty. Is this one of the solutions that I must do that will help my xbox one?
