Severe coil whine after putting Xbox back together
So, my Xbox One (original from 2013) has worked completely fine until this last month. It started trying to eject a disc when there wasn’t any. I would later find out that I could have solved this by just leaving a disc in. But me, being the idiot that I am, dissembled it to see what was up (was way out of its warranty and i’ve never opened an Xbox up before so. First time). Checked everything, cleaned it out, looked fine. But ever since i’ve put it back together, it has had AWFUL nonstop coil whine when it’s on a light app like YouTube or sat on the dashboard. But when it’s got a game loaded up, it’s nowhere near as bad. Any ideas of how I could fix this?
Update (08/23/2019)
It’s coming from near my power button, the right side of the disc drive. Not sure what it could be. Near the vent but it isn’t the fan, I can tell.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

Or is it the power supply making the whining noise? Not much info but the following may have something to consider.

Might want to try narrowing the source of the whine but trying another power supply if possible. Gotta friend with one? lol :-)

@propman It isn't the power supply. Tried it on another Xbox and while the PSU does indeed do a whine, it isn't the same one. It's separate. I have noticed that the sound is coming from near the power button, just above it. Right side of the disc tray.

Yes I realize that.....just making sure you are aware that power supply's are known possible sources of noise. Will leave it there as I am quite sure you know what more than likely is the next step in trying to isolate the source of the problem. Thanks for the reply.
