    Xbox One power brick making a loud grinding noise?


    So I have the original base Xbox One model from 2013 which comes with an external power brick and I've had it for over 6 years now. I moved my Xbox to a quiet room recently and noticed a really loud grinding noise coming from the power brick and I'm not
    sure what the issue is. It only starts to happen after around 2 hours of playtime so i assume its something to do with overheating and the fan not working properly. I have blown into the air vents with a can of compressed air but the issue still persists.
    I can't get a replacement because it seems like the Xbox One power bricks aren't sold by Microsoft anymore considering the newer ones have it built in so I don't know what to do. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

    :)

    360 Slim power supply noise

    What kind of noise does it make? Is it buzzing or grinding noise? The noise is coming from the little internal fan and it's been know that some faulty units make this noise.

    The power brick on my Xbox 360 Slim used to make a loud grinding noise when I had it from new. To stop the noise I used to pick up the brick and give it a few hard taps with the palm of my hand. Once I did that it didn't make any noise for the duration of
    that play session until then next time the machine was switched on again.

    Strangely enough, I never had the brick replaced and it now it no longer makes any noise. If you are concerned though and you can't get the brick be quite you should take up a repair request with Microsoft Support to get it replaced.

    Xbox console is making a weird noise

    Is the console itself making the loud noises or is it the power brick that is doing it?

    Power brick making LOUD noises.

    What did it sound like? Was it a wirring or a screeching noise? If it's the former, I may be in the same boat as you.

    Also keep in mind if you have it plugged into a power strip or a surge strip, it will make noise if that is overloaded. Plug it straight into a wall then and see if it help.s
