Power Supply Fan Dying

Hello Killerfate,

I'm still not sure if you can buy a replacement or get the Xbox One power supply repaired directly by Microsoft. However, it may be worth checking with
Phone/Chat Support. I do know that you can buy a replacement Xbox One power supply online from places like GameStop. Also, I was able to find a video online showing the "XBox One Power
Supply Disassemble/Cleaning". So, if you can find a new fan, and have the tools, it should be fairly straight forward to replaces it.

Good luck and good gaming,

The power supply has a built-in cooling fan.
The fan starts automatically when you turn on your Xbox.

• The fan should make a noticeable whirring sound typical of most cooling fans.
• When your Xbox is in energy-saving mode or when it’s disconnected from its power supply, the fan is turned off.
• If your Xbox power mode is in Instant-On, the power supply and fan will remain turned on.
• The fan speed increases or decreases, along with the sound of the fan, as the power supply changes temperature.

To keep the power supply working more efficiently and safely:

• Don't block the power supply’s vents.
• Don't leave the power supply on a bed, sofa, or other soft surface.
• Make sure the power supply has good air flow. Don't put it inside a bookcase, rack, or stereo cabinet unless that space has good ventilation.
• Don't leave the power supply near heat sources such as a radiator, heat register, stove, or audio equipment.
• Don't stack electronic devices on top of the power supply.
• Position the power supply horizontally so it sits flat on its rubber pads.

Note

If noise from the power supply seems excessive, the power strip or surge protector it’s plugged into may be overloaded. Plug your Xbox power supply directly into a wall outlet instead.

I know this is a year ago but if it's connect to Xbox and it dims then it may be the power supply dying. You'll need to buy another power supply but first party product only.

Power supply placement, temperature, and noise

To provide sufficient cooling, the Xbox 360 external power supply uses a built-in fan to blow air through the PSU. When you press the power button to start your Xbox 360 console, the PSU fan starts. Typically, the PSU fan makes a "whirring" noise. When your
Xbox 360 console is in standby mode or when the console is disconnected from the PSU, the fan does not operate. The speed of the fan increases or decreases when the temperature of the PSU changes. If the fan speed changes, the "whirring" noise that the fan
produces increases or decreases.

To help the power supply operate efficiently and safely, follow these precautions:

Don't block any ventilation openings on the power supply.

Don't put the power supply on a bed, a sofa, or any other soft surface that might block the ventilation openings.

Don't put the power supply in a confined space, such as a bookcase, a rack, or a stereo cabinet, unless that space is well-ventilated.

Don't put the power supply near any heat source, such as a radiator, a heat register, a stove, or an amplifier.

Don't stack other electronic devices on top of the power supply.

Make sure that the power supply is positioned horizontally and lays flat on the four rubber pads on its base.

If the power supply is making excessive noise, you might have a power strip or surge protector that is overloaded. Plug your power supply directly in to a wall outlet and see if the problem persists.
