Hello,
I just remarked today that the power supply of my 360 is making noise. I don't know why it does that ... I think it's the fan or the motor of the fan. When I move the power supply the noise is changing a little bit

I'm I the only one with this problem? I hope my power supply not gonna explode

Probably the supply's fan got a bit moved on its rotation axis, and now it's making noise because it tingles against something that it shouldn't reach normally.

The only way to repair it would be to open the supply. Or send it back to MS

In the long term, the fan might even broke (as tingling against something creates stress on the fan's motor), and thus your power supply would go BOOM without the needed cooling

How loud is the noise? Almost every power supply I have for anything that takes up >50W of energy makes noise.

    Update on my brother: He's home now, tired and hungry, obviously, but other than that, seems to be doing fine.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    apparently stress can cause seizures, my brother had one during a test once
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had one before that, and never had one since
