    SCAMMER ALERT!!! If you see ANYONE posting as me in the comments but isn't verified IT'S NOT ME and they will scam you. I don't sell anything in the comments section EVER. You can tell if it's me commenting because I have a verified account. PLEASE use their contact info to contact them and waste their time. The only way they will stop is if we all fight back.

      As a repair guy do you see anything in the design of this Xbox that would assume these problems are waiting to crop up? Or is it more likely to just be manufacture error rate that's entirely normal? In short.. Do you see these things failing over time or just because the parts where bad to start?

    I used to repair Xbox elite controllers that I got off eBay sadly they came out with the newer ones and I'm stuck with around 20-30 fixed controllers since people are no longer buying them but I liked seeing this so much I might go back into repairs. I'm disabled so there isn't much I can do. Thank you for bein a inspiration.

    Intermittent problems which are hard to diagnose are, in my experience, almost always the power supply. Brownouts caused by a wonky power supply make the system unstable, and you'll never get the same diagnosis twice. It's why I usually just try a new power supply first to see if it fixes the problem.

    Awesome work figuring out the fault in #2, and thus in the other one as well. It was made all the better by connecting it to your experience with the earlier sample, which had the utterly burned chip. It's really interesting how you could hunt down the problem by using the simple multimeter and, above all, your knowledge and experience, despite the motherboard being so complicated with multiple layers and myriad components.

    @siberx4 3 года назад +4

    Since you already have a thermal camera, if you also have a reasonably beefy (5A+) bench power supply with current-limiting, then you can use it to diagnose shorts more easily. Set the power supply to the shorted rail voltage (12V, 5V, whatever) and set the current limit to zero, then hook it up to the shorted power rail. Gradually increase current until you are passing about 1-5W of power (this will occur at very low voltage, so you might need separate multimeters to measure the voltage/current if your bench supply's built-in meters aren't accurate enough). Give the board a bit of time to heat up, then point your thermal camera at it; the short path should be slightly warmer than the surroundings, and often warmest right at the shorted component because it's usually higher resistance than the surrounding traces/copper.

    @10100rsn 3 года назад +15

    30:35 Check fan for the boxes that turn on and then shut off and use the thermal camera to look for hot spots around the other voltage regulators on the boards. There are a few other voltage regulators on those boards besides the ones for the main APU that can fail. Some fail short circuit and heat up but sometimes they just don't output voltage. They are a pain to test when they aren't just shorted or heating up but soldering wires to points you want to test makes it extremely quick and easy. I have a couple of meters that I just connect with alligator clips to test a few at a time. ;)

    You should inject a little voltage on the main power jack (at least 1V~2,5V) and check which component are getting hot. Then, you would found the faulty component and didn't need to remove all the good components and lose time.

There's not enough current stored to kill unless you have it powered on at the time and you put both hands across the mains or high voltage DC section (and keep them there long enough) so you'll just get a nasty fright and pain, then whip your hands away quickly. I've honestly lost count of the amount of shocks I've had from servicing high voltage gear. It just comes with the territory. You work as carefully as you can and be aware. You can fit a discharge resistor which will make the supply safe each time you turn it off. Most supplies have one built in these days.

    I had the exact same issue that number 5 had the day before yesterday. Just got my brand new series x but after 3 to 4 hours of playing it shut itself down and didn't want to power up again. I went to the shop where I purchased it and they also could not find the issue. Got a refund and luckily found a new one already.
