    How to fix an Xbox One (1st gen) Overheating problem?


    I just got a for-repair Xbox One today (first gen) very cheap off FB Marketplace. It powers up and plays the games however the Xbox case seems to get extremely hot (infrared thermometer shows 134F and rising before I shut it down). The large fan does seem
    to spin but it never shifts into a higher speed as it gets hotter.

    When I pulled this unit apart it seems like there was some liquid spill over the fan as there was some sticky residue on the heat sink below it. I am not sure if the fan is semi-bad (so I need to replace it), or some liquid got on the CPU/GPU so I need
    to reapply thermal paste.

    Again, even with a seemingly bad spill on the CPU//GPU area over the fan, it seems to function as it should minus the overheating problem.

    I was wondering how I can fix this up? How to fix an Xbox One (1st gen) Overheating problem? :)

    Xbox One automatically shuts off after 30 seconds to a minute

    Ok yeah then that makes sense. I used to have one of the 1st Gen XOne console and ran into the same issue. I ended up getting the Gears 4 Collectors and never had that issue again. I think that console was Gen 2 if I'm not mistaken, I also have an XOneX and haven't had that issue either. More than likely it was just a 1st Gen problem, sometimes 1st Gen systems have issues, but you never know for certain if you are gonna end up with one.
