xbox series s black. In short, I have such a problem. When I turn it on, it shows in 6 seconds. I opened it, took out the memory card, SSD. And it works for a few minutes and the ISK reader also works. I checked the hdm port, it's good, I also changed the power supply circuit. But the result is the same.. How should I act and where can I send you the video? To see what the real problem is.

For everyone saying he paid too much. He openly admits he paid to much for a broken console. But the aim of this channel is to buy broken items and repair other people's broken items. If he wanted a brand new one he would just go buy one but where is the fun in that. You have to buy consoles like this to repair to find these unknown issues that no one knows. Keep doing what you do phil you have my full support and it's a issue that will be discovered eventually but without people like you looking then no one would know.

Haha that was torture, but thanks I appreciate the support bud, genuinely it means a lot. Thank you 😊

It is cool that you constantly challenge yourself, and that is how you grow. However, please keep in mind that used Series X sells around 400 EUR, at least in Ireland. So even if you managed to fix it, you would not earn any money.

Can’t win all the time, we’ve all had them big losses, but sometimes it’s good we have a big win too. Good video mate keep up the good work!

You're a beast, Phil. You really keep at these things regardless of hurdles. You'll suss this one out.

Great video Phil, I am astonished that someone has the nerve to charge almost full retail for a broken Xbox Series X the world has gone mad.

Another great video as always.. 😊

I loved the video! I purchased a broken Series X for $440 (includes shipping) for an unopened hdmi issue. I was able to fix it in under 2 hours. The heat is always the issue with these boards...

Love watching your work. I'm still trying to figure out mine.. It had a previous repair of HDMI port and the encoder chip looked beat up, I changed the chip, some resistor/caps, that regulator/transistor.. No shorts on the HDMI port header.. Still no image . I haven't tried that ic you just bypassed... I'm lost at this point..I won't give up, hopefully we both figure it out

Absolutely I paid that nearly for new xbox series x in Australia 3 weeks ago $720au delivered

Should make a hdmi patch board to test the areas Cut trace off the faulty board and solder jumpers to ur custom hdmi board to see if get output to fast isolate areas Maybe 2 can make hdmi signal injector and externally power that part of board to test

i'm glad to see that you make a true story

You’ll get it Phil, I’d say the short is somewhere else and is just reading as that ic but I couldn’t tell u where to look for it

That’s some crazy shit you do lad ,🤔🤔 fascinating stuff,I really enjoy watching your videos .👍🏻👌🏻😉

Great video thanks.

It's almost like the equivalent of snaking a pipe that's clogged.

Great video 👍

What a great video Phil, I really did enjoy it. I have taken inspiration from your videos and regularly buy consoles to fix as a hobby and I love it. This particular video I am interested in because my latest purchase has also been an xbox series x with no display, and a spare series s for spares. So far I have removed the encoder (what a pain that was!) but haven't replaced it yet. I will wait and see what the outcome of your video is, and if I find anything out I'll let you know as well. Thank you for your videos, I have learnt so much from you. Interesting fact, the HDMI filters on both series x and s are so tiny, but they don't seem to have any effect on the working of the console. I have removed them from the series s and still get a display as normal. Also, they only ever test as OL on the multimeter so I'm not sure what component they are! I am sure they do something useful, someone will correct me! Really appreciate your content, looking forward to the next video!

Update: just a warning to anyone planning to remove the retimer chip on either the X or S: It takes a lot of heat, I would recommend preheating the whole board first, before using hot air. Also, the pads are VERY fragile! Even just running a hot iron over them once the chip is off, can cause pads to come off completely…

I got 8 ads in this one video. Screw you KZread

Hey Phil . Can I ask you, what kind of reading do the encoders usually put out? At the OUT. I was also thinking it may be SSD related.. Can't wait to see what we(you) figure out... What could we possibly do to test SSD?

I've stopped trying to bid on spares and repairs someone is always willing to pay more than its worth. The only thing that doesn't get bid on much are laptops and it seem to be because people struggle to sell them due to there being so many

The boards for these are quite thick. The safest way to replace it might be to heat underneath the board first then use the hot air from overtop.

the esd booster is not boosting the 5v line. i think. main features for the esd booster are: a) esd protection of course b) short cut protection on the 5v line (hdmi side) c) level shifts for the sda and scl lines (i2c) i think it gots its name "booster" because it boosts the sda and scl lines to 5v. normally the output for the i2c to hdmi are 5v. the output from the hdmi chip possibly are not 5v. so you need a level shift from console ic voltage level to 5v. i2c signals are open drain outputs means you need pull up resistors for both sda and scl. i've seen you did some bypasses of the esd ic on some xbox one x(?) consoles. so far i remember some consoles were not able to output 4k anymore right? or sometimes it works. this is i think because of the scl and sda lines. the scl and sda are used for extended display identification data (EDID). if edid is not available or not working the console can't regonise if the tv is able to display 4k. so it only displays a resolution which is always possible. interesting in your videos is i only see for sda and scl lines resistors in series. no pull up to 5v. so the pullup for the sda/scl might be included in the esd ic. for me the question is more why 4k is working sometimes? after reading the tdp158 datasheet it says you always need a 2k pullup to 5v on these lines (which is normal for i2c). without the esd ic you don't have them (possibly) means no EDID from the tv. i'm currently searching on ebay for a xbox one x to test this. greetz and keep up the good work ;) oki time to continue the video here ... i learned alot in your videos esp. how to solder/reball my bga fpga for my own created fpga board... i love your videos... thx ;)

Hey Cod3r, I've got an original Xbox with a ripped off pad at a via. Would you recommend using an enameled jumper wire through the via and joining it on the other side? Or perhaps replacing the vias pad?

Sucks man ! Hope you get more ideas on what it could be. It def made an interesting video. Quite expensive indeed I think thats almost what they cost new here lol.

How do you keep from discoloring the board when you have stuck components such as this? Whenever I get a mosfet etc that has welded itself to the board by the time I'm able to get it off with 480 at 99% af I've definitely discolored and cooked the solder mask a good amount. Great video as always my guy. Love your stuff.

Think you need a preheater for those or perhaps your hot air is on its way out.?. You said the ic was not available but is there a datasheet for it, so many questions. I'll be watching for part 2 to see the conclusion, one other thing I don't know if you cut it out but do you not test the components off the board rather than put em back to find there short? ? See u on the next one....

Did you ever do a follow up on this?

I wonder if that short that was cleared, opened a trace on an internal layer of the board?

Honest question! Where do you find the knowledge of which circuit is which on different boards? I can identify most individual components on the board but struggle with determining the circuitry sections, like a 5v booster circuit or a noise filtering circuit.

Couldn't this just be software related. Swap the SSD out from the working one or even the Series S. Pretty sure Steve from Tronicsfix did an SSD swap.

My boxed series x cost 350 in 2021 on Facebook marketplace 😂. Just got a xbox one x with red dead 2. Cyberpunk and gta for 90. On Facebook. Worth keeping a eye out. Some of the non working console recently are expensive. Seen a faulty one x go for 90 with no controllers.

You probly did pay too much. Our indie store in Hartlepool got one traded in fully boxed for £280 . All working.

Should you not check ssd first?

What did Microsoft do to attach that hdmi encoder to the board, weld it on??

I know you’ll eventually fix this one phil

Phil, did you say it was the same chip on the one X?

Are you sure this thing is booting? Have you tried powering it off blind with a controller?

U could’ve got a working one from cash converters for the price u payed for that.

You can get a brand new one for £420 lad

Hi brò, who don't think about this: Atten ST-862D Hot Air Rework Station ?????

The xbox one or series seems to really have an issue with theirs video chip, is it Microsoft not doing what is recommended design wise, or the chip is just trash?
