I Fixed 2 of 18 Xboxes So Far - Can I Fix More?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I Fixed 2 of 18 Xboxes So Far - Can I Fix More? - It's part 2 in this series on repairing 18 broken Xboxes from a salvage lot. In the last week's video I was only able to repair 2 out of 6. Will I do better with the next 6? I sure hope so! In this one I discover more missing power supplies, tackle some hard drive issues, and hear one Xbox make some strange chirping noises!

About This Video: I'm trying to repair 6 more Xboxes from the salvage lot I purchased. They have a variety of problems from missing components to elusive short circuits and updating issues. And I find more that have the partial power problem. Looks like I'll need to make a video specifically about fixing those later on.

    Hi, I enjoy fixing things and apparently I enjoy watching someone fixing things as well. I have some advice for You regarding the shorted or partially shorted circuits. This is a much faster way of finding a shorted component then just disconnecting anything you guess is on the shorted power rail. Get a regulated power supply, set it to correct rail voltage and set Amps to something that may just generate some heat (like a 5W for beginning). Then take a thermal camera and inspect the board if it does not show up, go higher with amps until it shows up. And You can get the bad component easily - sometimes the components that heat are just pass-thru, so pull up such component and continue on the drain side of that component. You can use hands instead of thermal camera, but the thermal camera is just faster, nicer and more precise.

    Exactly. In fact it's even worse than that. Why would somebody have a collection like this, where many have been opened, bits, missing, etc? OK maybe the seller ended up with them (not sure how?) and doesn't have the time or knowledge do deal with them... But much easier to imagine is: they fix a lot of these, have made a tidy profit on the easy cases, and sold you the unrepairable junk! (Although the ones just requiring update are a bit of a puzzle)

Does it mean that when the BD drive stops working, the whole unit is automatically useless and thrown into electronics recycling? That sounds insine to me, but then again, MS Surface is a block of glue with zero repair possibilities, so I guess it could be just Microsoft's amazing environmental sustainability. I'm sure the drive is calculated to last until warranty expires, if nothing else.

    Keep in mind any Xboxes that are on a newer dash then release (preview alpha/beta/delta/omega) you will not be able to use OSU files. You can however read the nand and try to grab the matching system files or newer ones so that you can boot the console and update over internet. Edit: This is also the case for system versions that are significantly lower than that of OSU files. AKA 6.X going to 10.0_19H1

    The shorted out one i would just take a bench supply with a low voltage, high current and apply it to the board. Then cover the board in freeze spray, turn on the supply and watch where the "ice" melts first. Then you have the place it shorts and no of the other components will be damaged by the low voltage.

    @@stanimir4197 Agreed, capacitors are often the component shorted out. Back in the day when i did electronics, we had loads of tantalum capacitors in products that would go bad and short out. Electrolytic capacitors usually lost their capacitance, and there you had to test them with a capacitance tester that had different testing frequencies. A capacitor that was just in range at 1 khz could easily drop significantly at for example 10 khz :) Those were the days, now people dont want their electronics repaired, as it is a lot cheaper just getting a new device.

    I'm not an expert, but I did a KZread video where a power-supply short is located using a high precision resistance measurement (mOhms). You measure the resistance at the power leads of each chip. The one with the lowest resistance is your fault. This works due to the resistance of the power and ground traces. This has surely got to be quicker and cheaper than unsoldering a bunch of chips.
