  • Fixing Xbox One X's - I Wasn't Expecting This - Disappointed! In part 1 and 2 of these videos I fixed a total of 5 Xbox One S consoles. Now I tackle the last four Xbox One S consoles AND the two Xbox One X consoles. But what I found was surprising.

    I used to fix old RROD issues on the 360s. Most of the time it was the thermal paste that needed replacing. Made a good chunk of change and the ones I didn't get repaired usually got to keep and used for parts for other broken 360s.
    Glad to see people still DIY. In my opinion, having a basic electronic troubleshooting knowledge and a willingness to void warranty is much cheaper and less headache then sending unit in.

    @GainingDespair 5 лет назад +184

    Hate to say it but I think you may have bought a lot of broken Xbox's from a man who repairs them himself. Doesn't hurt to look at the seller and if they are selling a lot of electronics/consoles it's probably a good idea to avoid that lot. You will get genuine "idk what's wrong" from time to time but there also seems to be just as much "I know what I'm doing and I have no clue what's wrong". I guess the point is don't buy lots from folks who repair consoles for a living because if it was easily fixable they would have most likely done it themselves.
    Also this goes for everyone in general as I'm sure more than a few people here are also buying similar things themselves hopefully they can take this advice and avoid learning the lesson the hard way :)

      Yeah, I buy a lot of faulty stuff to repair from eBay and, while most of it is genuinely faulty or accidentally damaged, there is the occasional batch of things that have had botched repair attempts that there's no way the seller didn't know about.
      If I can't repair something, I only sell it on if I think someone else has a fair shot at repairing it or there are some usable parts, and I describe it honestly - like 'I had a look and this seems to be the problem, but that's beyond my skillset to repair so maybe someone with better tools and knowledge could fix this.' I'm certainly not going to trash it and then just sell it as 'not working'.

      @@fadetonoirfilms That is kinda covered under the "salvaged" description. This is the main reason why I don't want to get into repairing electronics at home. When you're not dealing with absolutely unfixable devices that the seller knows are unfixable, you're dealing with bad parts. For example the most time consuming thing about repairing phones is waiting for the parts. And when you get a faulty part, that's maybe another month of waiting for a replacement. Too much shit to deal with.

      I don't believe that. He didn't fix 3 of the 5. the other 2, he did very minor repairs. The peeling the layers of the board back over a holding point, some people may not know that most boards only have the universal grounds on those layers that close to the edge so, if you don't know that you're less likely to dig in, so to speak....
      The other one he replaced the HDMI port which is a minor operation. A few he removed and put parts back before testing the simplest solutions and didn't get anywhere with... The other 3 needed updates or a different hard-drive ( not what I'd call 'fixing', but what I'd call updating or replacing parts ).

      I had the same thing happen with Xbox 360s. I thought I was going to make major bank by doing a bunch of x-clamp fixes on some 360s, only to find out that the lot I bought had already had those x-clamp fixes attempted and were beat to hell. I also learned the x-clamp fix really wasn't a long term solution. I got a few of them to work by baking the boards in the oven, but those were still flakey as well. I ended up just selling the whole lot on to the next person to break even, minus the shipping costs. I'm weary about trying to ever get into the refurb business because of that experience.

      I got recommended this video because I had the same issue with my One X. Error E200 and E500. I tried factory resetting multiple times which fixes the problem for maybe an hour before the Xbox crashes and on reboot shows the same error code. I also tried all manner of updates to no avail. Eventually, I sent it into Xbox to be repaired and they just sent me a whole new console... I’m guessing because Microsoft cut too many corners to get the price down and introduced some unfixable bugs... which they do a terrible job of addressing online. Look up those error codes. So many people have the same problem with their X and there is no good solution.

    Great channel. Love your repairs! I wanted to share my own personal fix real quick. I bought an Xbox One X that wouldn't power on. It would chime without light, no power off chime, no picture, no fan movement what-so-ever. It actually had a small click sound after about a second or two when it would just give up and shut off. Inspected the board and found the 7403 MOSFET near the fan connector was blown. Ordered me a couple off of Digi-Key, but first I removed the 7403 that is between the optical disk drive connectors and replaced the blown one near the fan connector. It came back from the dead and everything works perfectly! I shut it off until I get the 7403's in and I'll add one to the ODD side where I removed the other one. Just a heads up to look for that in the future as it can be a 64 cent fix like mine! :)

      Nah, I reckon the seller bought them just to pass them on or at least tried to fix some maybe, but I'd say their business is flipping them considering they had so many in the one listing.

    I used to work at GAME (GameStop) in the UK and at one point it was very common for people to come in, buy a new Xbox 360 and then a couple hours later bring it back to return.
    What they did was open the plastics up and remove the inner and replace with their broken Xbox. Then replace everything, inc the security sticker. Repack and return for a refund.
    I caught one because on looking at it all was fine, I checked the serial numbers all matched console to box & receipt but I noticed the power pack plug end was different (the Xbox 360 had a couple different adapter plugs that plug into the console itself) which made me look closer sure enough the console was broken, and on real close inspection you could see it had been opened. The persons game was still in the CD drive! Needless to say they didn’t get his refund.
