Can you repair the fan board switch i have accidently pulled it off

Hello, Michael M. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

I regret to inform you, but we're not able to assist with self-repairs. This is against the forums guidelines and as we're not technicians, this helps to avoid any further damage.

However, I suggest getting your console repaired by Microsoft by opening an out of warranty request or with a third party if you'd like.

You can open a repair with Microsoft here:

I appreciate your kindness and understanding in this particular situation.

Hi there, have you verified that your friends are not appearing offline by accident as well? Sometimes that setting can be switched on and forgotten to be switched back off.

Hi. Thank you for the response. It's not the fan because it also makes that noise when switched off (Instant On mode). It's kind of a whining noise, like a disc is not being read properly or writing on a chalk board. I just got the XBox two weeks ago, It
basically came free with a cellphone contract that I took. It might be a bit difficult to send for repairs, also I assume repairs will take a long time, so I don't think it's worth sending in for repairs... I'm not sure as yet.

WIth thanks

Yep. I know they can pull it off. By noon tomorrow they will go from having 25% of their fans left to zero. Come on Microsoft, You can do it!

the headphone jack is not actually soldered into place, it is sandwiched between 2 boards that presses the pins against the required pads, they can dislodge if knocked hard or pulled sideways, i have repaired loads of them. easy to fix too.
