@@ryanabarca8616 and why having one console in the lot of 18 being an obvious scam automatically means the rest of them is a scam, too? Glued one is obvious, sure. The rest of them, not so much. Having a couple of consoles missing working parts and being full of bad ones is probably normal for a salvage lot, but when all of them are like that it is just something else. Which I pointed out in my comment.

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.

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 :)

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'.

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.

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...

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! :)

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.

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. Salvage sometimes means just parts, simple as that. ⅓ isn't so bad. I know the moneys not there but 6 out of 18 is not a terrible result.

I don't think it's possible to be ripped off buying salvage. Salvage is a gamble. Simple as that.

Love these vids, thanks for making 'em!

fixing broken xbox is most frustrating thing in the world you are brave soul

(commented this on part 2 as well; didn't realize there was a part 3 out already) I onde saw a guy using a smartphone thermal camera to detect short circuits, since the shorted parts get hot when current passes through them. Didn't try it myself, though

Its been 9 months, any chance we will be getting a partial power repair video??

Thank you for showing us,how you are fixing them. I subscribed to your channel.This is interesting.

Watching this while high asf and honestly man, great content thank you 👍

Quick suggestion, would you go into detail with some of the major components? Like what they do, why would they not work, or how to fix them? I would love learn your craft!

I love these videos :) thx for making these

@@Tronicsfix I love that you don't edit out the screw ups and bad parts of doing repairs, these vids show a way more realistic view of the gamble you take with tech repairs. I look forward to see more vids :)

Imagine going through all that effort to screw someone over... Surely they didn't make much on the deal and even so the time they spent isn't worth it. I've really enjoyed these videos though. Keep it up!

he might fixed his xbox so might be worth for him

You could glue the six PCBs with the power failure in the empty One-X case and sell it. But seriously, I feel you with these power failures. You replaced a central power controlling IC in your first video. There is a type number on it showing the exact type and you can find the datasheed and pinout. I would start with this one and monitor the boot process and see if one of these many power lines fails. The good thing is: You have a working One-S to compare to. But who am I'm telling this. Thanks for the videos.

Something I noticed watching you fix these is that when power is first connected the fan kicks on for a second or so which is typically a good sign or at least when I'm working on a PC I take it as so. Meaning to say if the power is first connected and the fan doesnt kick on then testing the power supply and the power button panel would be my first thought.

Literally just finished the other episodes, perfect timing

Nice!

The deceptive xbox was frustrating to view out of all of them. Good luck with the partial power xbox consoles.

Good videos. You win for the content you were able to make. The salvage yard ripped you off tho.

you looks like teacher i learn a lot things from you and your videos are enjoyable

New sub here loving your videos keep up the good work and stay positive 😁

Tronicsfix, your videos are strangely relaxing and addictive. Please, one small criticism. When you use a verb, please use the adverb 'well' to describe it, instead of the adjective 'good'. :)

Take a drink every time he said “power”

Hi, great vids. Did you ever make that video on Xbox One S power problems? Mine died yesterday and I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with it.

Anytime you buy salvage units it's a crapshoot. But that X Box 1X with the glued in ports, man!
