Phone Repair Centre Technical Team | Bench Verified (18+ Years of Experience in Sydney)
If your Xbox One X (2017), Xbox One S (2016), or Original Xbox One (2013) spins its cooling fan at full jet-engine volume and shuts down with an overheating warning, the factory thermal compound on the Scorpio Engine APU has dried into a brittle crust and dust has blocked the rear exhaust fins. At Phone Repair Centre Sydney, verbatim Xbox One series pricing is: Cleaning Service $66, HDMI Port Replacement $99, Power Supply Replacement $150, and Controller Stick Drift Fix $39 (One Joystick) or $55 (Both Joysticks). Walk into 122 Queen St, St Marys for a Same-Day Fix or drop off 7 days at Schofields Village.
Why Every Xbox One X Eventually Suffers From Baked Scorpio Engine Thermal Paste
When Microsoft released the Xbox One X (2017, Model 1787), it packed a 6-teraflop, 360mm2 custom AMD "Scorpio Engine" APU and a copper vapor-chamber heatsink into a remarkably flat horizontal enclosure cooled by a high-velocity centrifugal blower fan. Now that every Xbox One X and Xbox One S (2016, Model 1681) has seen years of thermal cycling across Sydney summers, the original factory thermal paste applied on the assembly line has cured into a hard, clay-like layer that cracks away from the processor die.
As soon as you launch a 4K-enhanced game, heat spikes inside the Scorpio Engine silicon within five seconds. In response, the motherboard commands the centrifugal blower fan to surge to 100% RPM, sounding like a hairdryer before cutting power completely and displaying the overheating ventilation screen on next boot. At Phone Repair Centre (with 18+ years of experience in Sydney), our $66 Cleaning Service strips the Xbox One X, Xbox One S, or Original Xbox One chassis completely, clears the dense dust wall packed in front of the rear exhaust grille, and restores quiet cooling.
Console Lab Triage: Xbox One X Jet-Engine Fan & Instant Shutdown
Customer (Blacktown):
Hi team, my Xbox One X is so loud I can hear it from the kitchen, and whenever I open Red Dead Redemption 2 the fan screams for 10 seconds and the console turns itself off. Can you service it and also fix stick drift on my Xbox One controller?
Phone Repair Centre Technical Team (St Marys):
That 10-second fan surge followed by shutdown is textbook Xbox One X overheating. Our verbatim Xbox One X / One S / One Cleaning Service is $66, and Xbox One Controller Repair is $39 for One Joystick Stick Drift Fix or $55 for Both Joystick Stick Drift Fix. Bring both into our standalone St Marys Flagship Workshop at 122 Queen St, St Marys for a Same-Day Fix, or drop them off 7 days a week at our Schofields Village kiosk.

Xbox One X/S HDMI Port Replacement ($99) & TDP158 Retimer IC Diagnostics
Notice that Xbox One owners constantly mistake the rear HDMI IN (To TV) passthrough port for the HDMI OUT (To Cable/Sat) port, or bend the pins inside the HDMI OUT socket when sliding the horizontal console backward into a cabinet. Our verbatim Xbox One X / One S / One HDMI Port Replacement is $99. Furthermore, on the Xbox One X, the Texas Instruments TDP158 HDMI 2.0 redriver IC (and SN75DP159 on Xbox One S) is notorious for failing when heat from a clogged vapor chamber bakes the rear of the motherboard. Servicing your cooling system ($66) protects the TDP158 retimer IC from thermal degradation.
Fixing Xbox One Power Supply ($150) & Aging Internal Power Bricks
Both the Xbox One X and Xbox One S house an internal 100-240V modular power supply tucked directly beside the heatsink exhaust path. When dust blocks airflow, the primary filter capacitors inside the PSU overheat and bulge, causing a dead console. Our verbatim Xbox One X / One S / One Power Supply Replacement is $150 with Same-Day Fix turnaround at 122 Queen St, St Marys.
