Xbox says ventilation error though not hot, and fans run at max speed.

A discord user (Mars *****ia) has an Xbox issue where it shows all 4 Red rings, shuts off, and when he boots it up it gives a ventilation error. He cleaned the fan, the power connecter is entirely in. Here are some photos he sent.

Dust clogging the vent hole maybe?

isn't all four quadrants lighting up mean that something is wrong with video and/or the cable? it's been a long time since I messed with the 36t0.

It happens then it shuts down. it doesn't happen upon startup.

4 red rings indicate a problem with the video cable connected up between the Xbox and the TV. Try disconnecting the cable from the Xbox and re-connect it back up.

Could try getting the secondary error code and see if that maybe indicates something else. Hold down sync and press the eject button 4 times slowly. Note the number of flashing lights for each time the eject button is pressed. Can check here and see what the secondary code may mean.

Guys, its not a boot error, it happens THEN shuts off. It DOES NOT happen on bootup.

Others have taken other things but I will say check the power supply on slims. Had them clogged with dust before and causing issues.
