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

[bigminch]

Thanks Microsoft for already warping the screws so much that's it impossible to open 👍🏻

[friendlycomradeivan]

Rubber feet pads definitely the hardest part, I gave up and just ripped them out like a savage

[maryfitzgerald]

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 🎉

[gileso]

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 🥺

[MotiveHated]

Great video man, super educational and I love how it's hardly edited

[pope]

Thank you, mine was desperate for a clean. I don't know how mines been surviving for this long without a clean 😬

[crzysundvir]

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 🙏

[adoomuser]

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

[waterpailking]

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

[jillisbijsterveld]

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

[WillKing-bh]

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?

[crzysundvir]

Hey my rubber feet has the holes but I can’t seem to stab through them I need some help

[kronix-ub]

My screws have this matal piece so the bit cant go in it fully help

[gavmc]

Do you know what fan i need to purchase for replacement?

[juanf.navarro]

Could you tell me how long are the t10 screws? I missed mines. Thanks.

[baldpipesmoker]

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.🤷‍♂️

[danielraynor]

Great vid easy to follow along with. Would recommend to others.

[goldiefox]

What happens if I just remove the fan? Does it still works without one?
