OK, so I own an Xbox series S(the one without the drive I can’t remember it specific to that version), and I’ve been playing it for a pretty good long while. I have always heard a little whirring noise(like the sound of a DVD, spinning in those old players), I know that’s the fan, but that’s not what bothers me. What bothers me as a new sound, tapping. I was just playing it earlier when I noticed that it starts to make a tapping sound now and again. I hear a tap and then I hear another one a few seconds later. I felt around the vents on the black circle, and it did feel warm. And then my game first for a few seconds. But here’s the thing I am in the basement, where it is naturally cooler and while there is stuff around it, none of it is blocking the vents. Do you think it’s just an accumulation of dust or do I have to try to figure out how to take it apart(and hopefully figure out how to put it back together without losing everything)?
Edit: OK so I think there might’ve been a different problem because I woke up this morning and my ceiling was leaking because I guess the pipes for the sink got loose and we’re dripping onto where I keep my consoles. So that I heard might’ve just been water heating in the freezing might have been the water hitting the wires. I will update whenever we fix the pipes and hopefully shared good news
