Xbox One Fan Replacement

40 minutes - 1 hour

Moderate

My Problem

My Xbox One started to freeze up, warm up, and at some times, the fan started to scrape on the edges of it's bezel.

My Fix

The repair was a 9 out of 10 for me. The missing 1 is from one of the clips breaking, but that is not the tools' fault. Another thing is how locked on the fan was. However, it has not had any problems ever since I fixed it.

My Advice

Once you get the fan off, do not just go to the sink and rinse it off. either get some compressed air, or use a waterpik as I did (I do not recommend my way of cleaning unless you have no compressed air). BE CAREFUL! If you are not careful, you will break a clip on something, guaranteed.

I find a lot of fans benefit from oil on the bearings; I use engine oil.
