Fan no longer spinning.

SIL3NT SNIP3R09 · Sep 12, 2014

Hello this issue started a few hours ago i just received The new Naruto game and started installing it while this was happening I started watching TV after a while I came back and noticed the Xbox 360 slim had a red dot and turned it off and back on.

It seems to work fine for a moment but the fan no longer spins and the right hand side of the console gets very hot very quickly, luckily I have an external clip on fan but that's extremely loud is there any common way to fix this as I has alot going on
at the moment and don't want to have to send it off for repair.

All the best please get back soon fellow helpers.

:)

Xbox 360 Slim Overheating issue

Update: (I know super late.) I had this problem today and after checking for weird sighs I realized the big fan wasnt spinning. Or hot air coming out of it. Check man large fan if its spinning. If not try to place something that can get through the holes
and try pushing the fan and check if it begins spinning again.

Xbox 360 (white one) Doesn't load quick happen today and doesn't turn off straight away

It is possibly downloading content before it shuts down, turn off background downloads and hopefully you should not have any more delayed power offs, the fans keep spinning as long as the unit is on.

Hey there Silent!

I'm sorry to hear about this happening! To start off, I suggest working through the suggested steps on our

Fix Xbox 360 Console Problems support article (look for the "Solid Red Light" section just a little ways down).

If those steps don't work for you though, I'm sorry to say that it sounds like your console is in need of a repair. To get that started, you can head over to the
Online Service Center or (if you prefer) you can use the
Contact Us page to get in touch with a repair specialist who can walk you through the process.

I know this isn't an ideal situation, but I truly hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions and we'll do our best to assist. =)

Hello, DarkWOLFY321. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Based on the information you provided, and the troubleshooting steps you already performed, this could be a hardware issue.

Additionally, it is important to clarify that we're not able to assist with self-repairs. Therefore, if you allow me, what I can recommend is getting your console inspected by a trusted technician in your city.

That way, they can help you to diagnose what's going on.

Your understanding regarding self-repairs guidance on these forums is appreciated.

Regards,

Arturo.

Same here, start screen shows, fans spins up and after that the initial two "Cadillac.Corvette" pictures disappears and the fans are spinning down - done.

It's normal. The cooling system is better designed in the slims and forces more heat out of the console. During shutdown, the fan will spin a little longer as it's trying to blow out the hot air; Especially so after a prolonged gaming session.

some games push the APU more so that generates more heat and therefore the fan spins faster to expel air. the fan spinning faster is normal.
