Introduction

Passez à l'étape 1

Follow this guide to remove and replace the motherboard on a Xbox Series S.

Note: When you remove the heat sink, you’ll need to replace the thermal compound between the plate and the heat sink. Since normal thermal paste isn’t designed to bridge large gaps, the closest replacement is K5 Pro viscous thermal paste. You will, however, need normal replacement thermal paste for the APU.

There are some photo discontinuities with the exterior Bluetooth, Wifi, and power boards. These discontinuities do not affect the repair procedure.

    Modifier

  18. Xbox Series S Motherboard Replacement, Disconnect the fan: étape 17, image 1 de 2 Xbox Series S Motherboard Replacement, Disconnect the fan: étape 17, image 2 de 2

    • Flip the device over.

    • Take care when flipping the chassis over because the fan is now loose.

    • Use your fingers to pull and disconnect the fan connector from its motherboard socket.

    • Take care not to pull on the wires when disconnecting the fan to prevent breaking the connector.

    • This connector may be difficult to remove. A good method to remove it is to shimmy the connector up and out of its socket with a spudger.

    • You may be able to remove this connector without removing the power supply with a pair of needle-nose pliers.

    Modifier

    If you are careful you can also remove the connector by lightly prying from the sides of the connector in equal proportions (left then right then left etc.) using a 2.5 flathead.

    • Only the motherboard remains.

    • Follow this guide for more specifics on how to reapply thermal paste to the processor and shield plate.
