No body has ever made me feel so guilty about not hitting like or leaving a comment. I gain so much knowledge from these that anytime he ask for a like or comment I feel so obligated. Seriously thanks dude.
I very rarely leave comments, but I had to comment on this. This video helped me tremendously and I was able to get my nephew's xbox for him running again. I learned a lot from this, and wanted to say thank you.
8 months ago i lost my xbox 1. I quickly replaced tee power supply with a new one but the console did not turn on. I got a donner xbox 1s from a friend. Today i found ur video armed with a multimeter and your video, tested all 3 regulators. 1 was faulty. I replaced the faulty one and the xbox worked. Thanks a million brother. Very precise tutorial and to the point.
Amazing video. I watched it and believe it or not the Xbox I bought had an identical issue. Another commenter put the link on for the replacement chips, I got 30 for £5 next day delivery. Used my dads hot air rework tool. Repaired entirely from chips arriving (ok motherboard was already out) to running in less than 5 minutes. Thank you so much. You’re awesome. Keep up the good work.
Duuuuuuude, this video was spot on to my problem. I thought I was going crazy - every video was how to fix the power supply, but I knew the power supply was good.
Ive been clueless on what is wrong with my Xbox, this video has really helped! Unfortunately the next chip along from the middle is also showing no signs of life so will have to replace it too. But now i know how to fix it, i was contemplating on selling it as parts but you motivated me to keep going. Thank you!
5 years later this helped me figure out what was wrong with my Xbox One S. Bought it for cheap, verified 12v on the PSU and I was stumped after that. They (now, at least) sell the MOSFETs separate so you don't need a donor console.
Hey Andrew nice video , i have fixed some of these where the mosfet would blow again so i would change the PWM controller too and it would sort it out :)
@@larsltz1326 cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=153166508040 It would be better if we could find these at digikey or farnell, but no luck so far
Love the video!! I'm very new to fixing consoles but I really want to continue my father's legacy. hopefully I can watch more useful tutorials from you in the future. ;)
Thank you for posting this particular method of troubleshooting MOSFETs in circuit... I have a DUAL processor Xeon system with 6 phases for each CPU, and 2 MOSFETS per phase (total of 24 MOSFETS). I tried several different tests, but YOUR method enabled me to identify the exact MOSFET causing a short to ground. In hindsight, this is the most sensible test, because it exploits the basic theory behind a properly functioning FET.
Ordered 9 of these mosfets just after watching this video for a repair I have coming in tomorrow, cheap enough so if the XBOX One S that I am receiving tomorrow isn't fixed with these then it's no big loss. Thanks for making these videos. Edit: turns out it was not one of the mosfets, 12V to ground short stayed even with removing all 3, most likely a Southbridge or APU issue which now isn't really worth fixing.
Impressive skill level and professional demeanor. I hope my x box one lasts. The only Microsoft console thats lasted more than three years is the original x box and that has a failed clock capacitor. I wish I could diagnose and repair to this level. I usually just buy another console or swap boards...Best Wishes
I fixed it the center mosfet I replaced first then they took it home then it blew the fet toward the back of machine changed it and it worked. Satisfied customer. The pdm or whatever was not the problem
Great Video Andrew, had short on 12 volt Q932, you have no doubt found the device by now but if not it is a TPN8R903NL DigiKey and other have stock. Thanks.
Cheers sir. Always like to check out your videos. Had a One S a while back with no power that got left with me. Will need to try this out in the morning and see how it goes. Thanks for your knowledge!
Your videos are simply the best, I am starting to micro solder myself and am working on game consoles as my daily job. Thank you for all of your instructional videos.
I have this same problem and also happen to think it may be a bad mosfet on the my Xbox one S but have never used a multimeter or have any knowledge of what the functions are on them and I want to thank you for the instructional knowledge on what settings to use on a multimeter as well as the repair I also repair consoles for a local gaming shop called east coast gamers or website is www.eastcoastgamersnj.com feel free to check it out. Thanks again andrew 😃
Nice repair Andrew. How did you know where to start looking for the short? Or how would you go about finding it with no prior knowledge of common shorts on these fets, or knowledge of the 3 separate "phases"
It can be difficult to trace circuits just by following the traces on the board; what helps me is understanding a bit about the high-level function blocks of a circuit or board (power, video, radios, controllers, CPU/memory) and the parts that you find in each. The easy (unhelpful) answer is experience, which is true but doesn't help someone starting out. Every subsystem needs power and there's a definite order in which the subsystems get power and start up (e.g. video & wifi will come up after the CPU). You get clues by the overall system behavior (does the fan spin? do you get lights on the board?) which helps isolate the high-level functions which aren't working so you check them and their dependencies. Hopefully this lets you isolate the possible failures to a few sections of the board and you can do a visual inspection for burnt/abused components before you start probing pins. Look for obvious problems; what's obvious to you will come with experience but everyone starts at the beginning and there's no substitute for getting your hands dirty :) There's a lot of detail to take in but that's why I watch people like Andrew & Louis Rossman. It's partly to pick up on their experience with specific hardware but mostly to understand the logic they use when diagnosing problems.
nice diagnostic, those mosfet very common to broken on xbox one, still don't understand why they choose tiny mosfet for High side FET. I usually replaced those mosfet with similar specs either From Onsemi or AON
First of all thanks for a straigh to point amazing video. I would like to mention though as a compliment, you would make a great football comentator, honestly. You have a football comentator voice mate, natural. I enjoy listening to you :-)
When he is sticking the probs into the power supply plug, where is the other prob? and if my voltmeter reads 8.87 when the black prob is on the small diod and the red is on the fuze thing is that dead?
Excellent video, thank you very much, Andrew. Got a console in with the same issue - one of these mosfets blew (lane to the right of the one in the video) and took one of the capacitors with it. I'd had not been able to identify the issue without your video! My hot air station doesn't seem to have enough power/airflow to remove the current one, so I've ordered something with a bit more grunt. Fingers crossed the surge hasn't taken anything else with it, as I've never worked with larger surface mount chips before. Wish me luck!
Wonderful video! Rarely leave comments but I wanted to do so to express my thanks. I haven't yet tackled my troublesome Xbox but I would like to know what kit you recommend to get me up and running in the world of electronic repairs? Many thanks!
Thanks for this video it’s awesome. I’m a qualified electrician and I have just diagnosed a faulty mosfet, credit to you. So I am going to attempt this repair. If this repair doesn’t work do you have any other suggestions that may help. And would I get away with a heat gun? It’s got 3 settings but it’s not precise.
Is there a way to test the internal power supply without taking it apart? When I plug in the power cable there is a click (spark) but I cannot see any fan movement. Would the console still charge a usb device if it had a defective part other than the power supply... Do you know what the voltage should read if I remove the power supply, plug it into the mains and use a multimeter
power supply should give 12V. If there's a short on the APU power rail, it will likely trip the overcurrent protection on the PSU and cause it to shut down. As for the click sound, I'm guessing that would be the overcurrent protection kicking in. Mine did the same thing until replacing the faulty power rail mosfet on my One S board.
Hey Andrew, great video as always. I've got a similar issue with a console that turns on and then off immediately. Supposedly, it's nearly brand new (less than 2 weeks old). Power supply is good. The 3 mosfets are each reading .65 one direction and then OL the other direction. Any thoughts for where to go from there?
Hi Andrew, excellent videos. I have the beeps once and turns off problem on the xbox one s. The LED doesn't light but there is some power going in albeit briefly. I've checked everything you point on this and cant find an issue. Any idea where I should look now? I'm stuck. Thanks in advance.
how amdrew i have x box one s water damage powers on 2 sec turns off dry it out use ipa over boad dry water of it will i need put thomel past on it can help
Another great video, best one out there in regards to board level power issues. I currently have a motherboard with a fault on the PMIC GASAS1640, have you done any videos that relate to this? My problem is that pin 1 trace for whatever reason is gone, how would you repair something like that?
Only just stumbled across your channel Paul fantastic in-depth walk through very easy to follow 👍 I know it’s an old vid but I’ve got the same issue which I’m waiting for parts on but I have a probelm with a couple of components next door to the Q9B3 on the V GFX CORE side . Basically the components are missing for C9D17 (a cap ) and R9D30(resistor ) these were corroded and have since gone missing . You don’t happen to the know the values of the missing components do you I’ve search all over the web and the closest I’ve come is apparently the resistor is a 124.4K 🤷🏻♂️ Any ideas thank you 👍
Nice explanation matey. I've got a gtx 980m and I think the mosfets gone. I get my multimeter tommorrow and had no idea what to look for, before now that is....Thumbs up.
My Xbox turns on the light turns on and beeps and turns back off I have tested all the mosfets and they all are fine does anyone know what the problem could be and also I think I broke the the buttons for eject and bind could that be the problem
Seems like it’s a serious motherboard issue as I have the same problem and never solved it all the “experts” don’t reply, don’t think anyone’s found a fix yet
Excellent video! I narrowed down my no power issue thanks to this. I have a board with a blown IC labeled Q9E1 just to the left of the MOSFET that you replaced (6:40). I'm guessing it's a 12V regulator or some other FET? I also get a short across the MOSFET gate so I'll be replacing that as well. Do you think it would be worth while replacing the PWM controller while I've got it on the operating table or would I be pushing my luck going after all 3 at once? I've replaced plenty of chips that size and smaller, my hands are pretty steady, but I know some are prone to pads lifting more so than others. Easy on the heat I guess... haha
Hey, have similar issue with these IC that you mentioned.. did you replaced it? Did it helped? because I have shorts on all three of these IC and all the capacitors behind them and below the main chip.. not sure if only these IC's are affected or the main chip is damaged as well..
It looks like a similar MOSFET is the ON Semiconductor NTTFS4928N (30 V, 37 A, Single N−Channel), datasheet at www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/NTTFS4928N-D.PDF This looks like a fairly common part so you should be able to find equivalents in the UK. Pins 1-3 are source, pin 4 is gate (the pin shorted to ground on the bad IC), and the remaining pins (5-8) are drain. Pin 4 will be the most critical one since it controls the flow from source to drain; if that's shorted, you are having a bad day...
Also, after a little more reseach/Googling, the key number to look for is 4928. There are a number of MOSFETs with similar numbers & packages so it's probably best to find the characteristics of a known good part from a donor board, possibly with a component tester (like the cheaptastic www.amazon.com/diymore-Multifunction-Transistor-Capacitance-Capacitor/dp/B01L706PI2/ - not an affiliate link, just an affordable hobbyist example) just to find if it's N- or P-channel, etc. Also, at 11:39, you clearly see pads for pins 5-8 are connected so if there's continuity between pins 1-3, that should match the pinout for the NTTFS4928N and eliminate other parts from consideration. Without knowing much more about the circuit, it's not clear whether the voltage and current specs for that part are reasonable but my ignorant guess is that less than 30V or 37A are being pulled through this MOSFET. Love the videos for showing your diagnostic approach to finding faults and your repair techniques; hopefully this info helps people chase down substitute parts so we're not so reliant on donor boards.
Thanks for the excellent videos, I love watching and learning at the same time, but could you please let me know what flux you use? And a good soldier for hdmi replacements and other pcb work. Hope to hear from you.
@Andrew paul where do you buy these chips from? I see RS Components do an alternative as others have suggested, I see your in west yorkshire, I'm from Huddersfield. Love the video, I was about to bin my xbox after reading forum and using youtube on how to fix this and none of them went down this route, I thought I had a bad power brick until I tested it and it was fine. This was just a recommended video, alas.... youtube has actully recommended a useful video.
Love all your videos. You are my last and first stop when I am stumped. So if a system has good power supply and no short to ground that would normally be the power controll IC? Just looking for a starting point for testing.
Была проблема с Xbox one S не включалась не каких признаков, проверив БП было все норм, при визуальном осмотре тоже не чего выкалено не было, при замерах на конекторе питание было кз, до меня кто-то питался ремонтировать снимали мосфеты електролиты, при более детальном осмотре цепей питание был выявлен едва заметные трещинки на smd керамическом конденсатор C9D20 при его демонтаже кз по питанию ушло, конденсатор был причиной, так что смотрите эти керамические конденсаторы
I'm learning and inspired soo much from yourself, tronixfix and my mate vince I've actually invested in gear I. E solder station, helping hand, Multimeter etc that I've decided to take on a mini project myself, a neighbours a xbox one (original) with a simular issue. Thought I might of be the power brick but the capacitors looked OK, the xbox board on the otherhand different story Apu maybe fried due to very little thermal paste left on it. Maybe a gonna Will test mosfets
An APU isn't going to fry due to lack of thermal compound. Modern CPU's/APUs/GPUs are all really good with thermal throttling or just shutting down in extreme cases.
Hello Andrew, great video!. I have a similar problem on my XBox One S, but in my case there is no sound at all when powering it on. I checked if there is a short on the power pins, but there isn't. I also check all three of the mosfets, but they seem to be fine as well. I just found that all the capacitors under the APU are shorted, so I think in this intance the problem is the APU itself, right?
Was wondering how u get heat sink off from board to check the MOSFETs. Not sure if u need to use a heat gun too loosen adhesive it looks like is underneath it not sure
Hey! Great vid. Fixed my console thanks to you. Bought another with a busted mainboard, but that one seems to short only for a certain amount of time, then stops. To find the continuity again i need to switch the probes. Any idea where to look for the short??
Hey Paul! I learn soooo much from your videos! I have a question though. Someone gave me an xbox one s board with a missing NAND chip. Is this replaceable or would I have to flash it.
Having a bit of an issue with the diode mode measurements on those mosfets. Black to gate returns a 0.619 result which seems fine, but when attempting to reverse with red to the gate, i get an OL result on the multimeter. Any suggestions as to why or what to do next?
Question all three of my mosfets were reading bad had no power problem. Checked everything like you did had a short to ground in the power supply plug on the motherboard changed all mosfets and now reads right and no short to ground anymore when I plug my power cord into the power supply the fan turns now but still won't power on whay to check next?
It's a custom connector unfortunately so the only place you'd likely get one would be from a donor. They look very similar to a PCI-E 6-pin E-ATX 12v connector (though the key-ways are different so they wouldn't plug up with the PSU plug) - thinking out loud, whether you could use one at a push and change the connector on the PSU itself I honestly don't know. If it were me, I'd get a replacement from a donor board if yours is broken and replace it like-for-like.
@@AndrewPaul one more question if that part is missing or its broken that could be problem that my xbox doesnt turn on? i bought a new power supply and tried it but wont power on. ( sorry for my english )

Seems like it’s a serious motherboard issue as I have the same problem and never solved it all the “experts” don’t reply, don’t think anyone’s found a fix yet
Sounds like a timer ic fault
The south bridge can cause power issues so may need a replacement
I have the same issue
Excellent video! I narrowed down my no power issue thanks to this. I have a board with a blown IC labeled Q9E1 just to the left of the MOSFET that you replaced (6:40). I'm guessing it's a 12V regulator or some other FET? I also get a short across the MOSFET gate so I'll be replacing that as well. Do you think it would be worth while replacing the PWM controller while I've got it on the operating table or would I be pushing my luck going after all 3 at once? I've replaced plenty of chips that size and smaller, my hands are pretty steady, but I know some are prone to pads lifting more so than others. Easy on the heat I guess... haha
Hey, have similar issue with these IC that you mentioned.. did you replaced it? Did it helped? because I have shorts on all three of these IC and all the capacitors behind them and below the main chip.. not sure if only these IC's are affected or the main chip is damaged as well..
What is that chip called that you replaced?
Super video!!! Enjoying them
What a good video, you explain everything in detail and made it very interesting.
Very thorough video. Is there any site you can recommend to buy electronic replacement parts?
Thank you so much. My main general question is why on earth did this "gate" go wrong in the first place? Heat? excessive use? or what?
How much did the fix cost, pls tell.
This video was such a big help! Thank you!!
It looks like a similar MOSFET is the ON Semiconductor NTTFS4928N (30 V, 37 A, Single N−Channel), datasheet at www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/NTTFS4928N-D.PDF This looks like a fairly common part so you should be able to find equivalents in the UK. Pins 1-3 are source, pin 4 is gate (the pin shorted to ground on the bad IC), and the remaining pins (5-8) are drain. Pin 4 will be the most critical one since it controls the flow from source to drain; if that's shorted, you are having a bad day...
Also, after a little more reseach/Googling, the key number to look for is 4928. There are a number of MOSFETs with similar numbers & packages so it's probably best to find the characteristics of a known good part from a donor board, possibly with a component tester (like the cheaptastic www.amazon.com/diymore-Multifunction-Transistor-Capacitance-Capacitor/dp/B01L706PI2/ - not an affiliate link, just an affordable hobbyist example) just to find if it's N- or P-channel, etc. Also, at 11:39, you clearly see pads for pins 5-8 are connected so if there's continuity between pins 1-3, that should match the pinout for the NTTFS4928N and eliminate other parts from consideration.
Without knowing much more about the circuit, it's not clear whether the voltage and current specs for that part are reasonable but my ignorant guess is that less than 30V or 37A are being pulled through this MOSFET.
Love the videos for showing your diagnostic approach to finding faults and your repair techniques; hopefully this info helps people chase down substitute parts so we're not so reliant on donor boards.
Hi, Andrew, I like the video it's helpful, but please what the name of that small part you replaced?
Part number etc is in the video description.
Thanks for the excellent videos, I love watching and learning at the same time, but could you please let me know what flux you use? And a good soldier for hdmi replacements and other pcb work.
Hope to hear from you.
Great video again mate, just wanted to know if you repair iPad boards as well?
Q9D4 looks burnt on top :D could be just bad lighting.Nice video thank you...
GOOD JOB PAUL.
Hello sir, what a magnificent video. I need to ask probably a dumb question when you check the MOSFETs do you have power to the board? If so how?
No - you don't need power applied to the board.
TPN8R903NL Is This Part Andrew?
Thanks for that!
@Andrew paul where do you buy these chips from? I see RS Components do an alternative as others have suggested, I see your in west yorkshire, I'm from Huddersfield. Love the video, I was about to bin my xbox after reading forum and using youtube on how to fix this and none of them went down this route, I thought I had a bad power brick until I tested it and it was fine. This was just a recommended video, alas.... youtube has actully recommended a useful video.
Love all your videos. You are my last and first stop when I am stumped. So if a system has good power supply and no short to ground that would normally be the power controll IC? Just looking for a starting point for testing.
Была проблема с Xbox one S не включалась не каких признаков, проверив БП было все норм, при визуальном осмотре тоже не чего выкалено не было, при замерах на конекторе питание было кз, до меня кто-то питался ремонтировать снимали мосфеты електролиты, при более детальном осмотре цепей питание был выявлен едва заметные трещинки на smd керамическом конденсатор C9D20 при его демонтаже кз по питанию ушло, конденсатор был причиной, так что смотрите эти керамические конденсаторы
I'm learning and inspired soo much from yourself, tronixfix and my mate vince I've actually invested in gear I. E solder station, helping hand, Multimeter etc that I've decided to take on a mini project myself, a neighbours a xbox one (original) with a simular issue.
Thought I might of be the power brick but the capacitors looked OK, the xbox board on the otherhand different story
Apu maybe fried due to very little thermal paste left on it. Maybe a gonna
Will test mosfets
An APU isn't going to fry due to lack of thermal compound. Modern CPU's/APUs/GPUs are all really good with thermal throttling or just shutting down in extreme cases.
Cheers for the info x
Hello Andrew, great video!.
I have a similar problem on my XBox One S, but in my case there is no sound at all when powering it on.
I checked if there is a short on the power pins, but there isn't.
I also check all three of the mosfets, but they seem to be fine as well.
I just found that all the capacitors under the APU are shorted, so I think in this intance the problem is the APU itself, right?
muchas .. muchas gracias. muy claro y muy consiso. saludos desde Mexico
Was wondering how u get heat sink off from board to check the MOSFETs. Not sure if u need to use a heat gun too loosen adhesive it looks like is underneath it not sure
Hey! Great vid. Fixed my console thanks to you. Bought another with a busted mainboard, but that one seems to short only for a certain amount of time, then stops. To find the continuity again i need to switch the probes. Any idea where to look for the short??
Hey Paul! I learn soooo much from your videos! I have a question though. Someone gave me an xbox one s board with a missing NAND chip. Is this replaceable or would I have to flash it.
Thank you very much for your clear and concise instructions. Thanks to your video I was able to diagnose and fix my son's system. 👍👍
Thanks so much i followed every instruction perfectly it really works i so happy thanks again
Having a bit of an issue with the diode mode measurements on those mosfets. Black to gate returns a 0.619 result which seems fine, but when attempting to reverse with red to the gate, i get an OL result on the multimeter. Any suggestions as to why or what to do next?
Question all three of my mosfets were reading bad had no power problem. Checked everything like you did had a short to ground in the power supply plug on the motherboard changed all mosfets and now reads right and no short to ground anymore when I plug my power cord into the power supply the fan turns now but still won't power on whay to check next?
Learnt a lot from you
@Andrew Paul whats the name of the part that helps the power supply to be connected to the board. It appears on the min 15:23.
It's a custom connector unfortunately so the only place you'd likely get one would be from a donor. They look very similar to a PCI-E 6-pin E-ATX 12v connector (though the key-ways are different so they wouldn't plug up with the PSU plug) - thinking out loud, whether you could use one at a push and change the connector on the PSU itself I honestly don't know. If it were me, I'd get a replacement from a donor board if yours is broken and replace it like-for-like.
@@AndrewPaul one more question if that part is missing or its broken that could be problem that my xbox doesnt turn on? i bought a new power supply and tried it but wont power on. ( sorry for my english )
