Swap out of a board (sub-unit) for troubleshooting is an approved method. We used to do it on Satellite and Radar gear all the time. Cuts the time in half.
My friends Xbox series X has the exact same issue. No power at all. Tried a bunch of different wires and all. Thing won’t wake up. It’s a shame it’s only 1.5 years old. Just out of warranty. 🤦♂️
My Nexus connector has continuity to the ground (the copper ring around the board) on every pin ... is that normal? I also have short to ground on the top of the C1 SMD you checked @12:01, R172 @ 12:23
I've been searching for videos on how to test hdmi, nb7n and esd ics for xbox series x. Could be helpful for alot of people to know what readings to look for and what needs to be done or replaced and proper places to test.
Got the same problem with mine no power but you hear that ususal pop when plugging the power cord into the back of the console. How much to fix? I live in Birmingham
Hi mate, love the vids, but I've got a kind of silly random question, but what HDMI cable do you use for testing all your PS5's in full 4k 120? and that's durable?
Hdmi 2.1 are used for the new gen consoles for achieving these high resolutions and framerates. This cable is completely backwards compatible with older hdmi ports, but remember if u are using a older port other than a 2.1, u will not get the 120 fps
Nice video, is there a better way of cleaning pads rather than using wick ? That’s what normally pulls the pads, I even watched a video on TH-cam and even he said wick has a habit of removing solder mask which causes failures and it can damage pads. Also I heard that Xbox X and S use Xbox one south bridge ?
@@M.E63 should never even come close to removing solder mask by using a wick, if done properly. I'd even go so far as to say that you have to go out of your way to damage the solder mask while using a wick. You'd need a really heavy hand, max temperature solder iron, keep the iron in one spot for many multiples of seconds, and use no flux to have a chance to damage the mask.
@@Al-xj2oo I never said I’m removing solder mask but I said I watched a video of a pro who said never use a wick as it removed solder mask and has a history of causing failures, I have pulled pads but there always NC pads and I’m sure everyone’s pulled pads, I did watch a video of mgchemicals and they said you don’t need flux when using solder wick as there’s already flux in there, they said maybe if your using cheap solder wick then you might need it, or if the wick is really old which would make the flux useless
Nice one Phil. I like the live stream but I do enjoy the fast reballing segment as IRT it's brutal.

Seriously impressive skills !
All these faulty consoles from this Gen puts me off getting one
Most of the problems are self inflicted
Yes, another Great Repair by The Legend! Great Video. Thank You. Good luck on the next one! 😁
Well done Phil
Lab is looking great!
Thanks Phil, your really one of a kind. Regards from Sweden.

Where can I get that fixed over here in the U.S, my Xbox won’t turn either after everything but haven’t open into yet
Why not use a stencil to re-ball the southbridge?
probably didn't have, why wait 1 month to get from aliexpress..

Should the power supply be tested completely removed from other components? IE can I leave it attached to the assembly when testing?
2 xbox 360 that a modchip shorted something out after a while. All they do is turn on and no fan spin goes to 3 red lights would that be southbridge?
Thank you for sharing 😊😊
You should put a crown on your head when the console displays on tv

How long does flux last in storage?
I don't want to order too much if I can't use it in time .
mine is turning on but turning back of again any ideas why ?
Yoo Coder, can you use a southbridge from a xbox one to replace it in a xbox series x?

wick only removes solder mask if you press it hard. just needs right technique.
@@oliverlopez3191 well the people who said this are experts so I’m sure they know the correct technique

Awesome !!
You could try swapping the bios chip to a working donor board, a bit easier then swapping the southbridge
HOW TO GET XBOX SERIES X SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
Anyway to test Esd on xbox one s
The problem is that Microsoft wants $299 to fix it. I can get a new one for $499.
Just the tip
How strange, no one has ever seen God yet they know what he looks like.
