how do i fix my xbox after plastic falling in it

T Marston · Apr 11, 2025

A few months ago i accidentally dropped little pieces of plastic through the fan of my xbox series x. recently i have been smelling plastic burning coming from it, i have taken it out of its case and removed everything inside it and i cannot for the life of me find where the plastic went. the only area i believe it could be in is the power drive but i don’t feel brave enough to take that apart, any ideas?

Yes there is a fix for this but you will have to open the controller to do so there is a plastic piece that must be removed check you tube for vids on how to do so

yea that's a nice controller and all but what they don't tell you is that the rubber grip on the controller starts to come unglued and falls off after a while. and when you want to send it in to get it fixed, they wont let you do it. that's how they get
you with the extra 50 bucks. if they knew that the rubber grip was going to fall off after a while they should only charge 100 or fix the design flaw.

Maybe, just maybe, if the OP did not fall in love with a piece of plastic and metal this wouldn't be an issue to begin with?
