I repaired my old backpack because of your videos. I mean it isnt something technical but the idea/spirit of repairing stuff totally get me because of your videos. 😊
it makes me really angry that they don't make these parts readily available, I really hope the right to repair movement really gains traction.... donated to louis rossman, and happy to fight the cause. good job Steve :)
Thanks to you I managed to fix my friends xbox one which was turning off randomly. It was a faulty power supply and it got replaced. Now it's working like nothing happened. Love your videos!
@@Tronicsfix , yes. So far, you and another one that I don't remember are the only youtubers that have liked and answered one of my comments. You are kind , humble, dedicated and competent.
You definitely inspired me to get to know electrictronics and stuff! I'll be modding 3ds's with capture boards here shortly and that'll involve some careful soldering, it's going to be fun regardless of what happens! 😀
Dude, I keep finding myself watching you for hours while I play some games. I have started repairing and modding consoles and controllers again, but what you do is at a whole different level. I love the level of detail man! Very impressive, I am taking notes and slowly building my tools up. Thanks for your awesome work!
See my first thought was maybe they did, realised they can't get the correct hdmi port, so put it back together using some kind of electric screwdriver and over tightened it until it stripped.
Nice work Steve. I think you do your best in this case. It's always complicated find the right solution if you don't have the right replace part. Have a nice day!
A trick I was taught with screws with stripped heads, was to use a thin rubber band. Place the rubber band on the screw tip and then you should be able to grip a little better to remove damaged screw head.
honestly I'm 13 , and was very interested in console repair and Steve is my role model , great and useful information and tips , kinda funny and cool, I'm currently don't have much knowledge in the console repair realm but none the less want to be the part of that community , great work Mr Steve hope you can make more great and useful content like this.
I wouldn't mind seeing you do a deep dive and attempt to fix that faulty HDMI port. Or at least a teardown to figure out exactly what went wrong with it (it looked split open).
One year later and I still enjoy this guy vids! That's what happens when ur a great and interesting content creator. Let's get up to a ONE MILLION subscribers my man! 🤛
Plus, I can always go back and solder in a new port once I can get one that is made for this console. If I shaved off the plastic case I'd have to replace the case.
Nice fix! Sometimes you just have to use what you have on hand but that’s no different than using a bodge wire. If it works it works. The only other concern I see is it looked like that hdmi port didn’t have support legs that fit the through hole.
Great video Steve, the horror of stripped screws is very familiar to me, I two stripped Y-Type screws in an Iphone XS when I tried to repair it, had to use my Dremel tool to drill through them.
I really like these type of fixes, aesthetically not perfect, but functionally perfect. And since you used the part you already had, you didn't create extra carbon footprint by order new parts!
@@Tronicsfix particularly I like the compact engineering a lot. That fan is gigantic! Nothing against the ps5 It's just... You can get great thermals out of anything if it's big enough ;D
@@kylerclarke2689 I agree. The ps5 still looks like a console on the inside in terms of the hardware setup, these new x-boxs look more like small factor PCs.
My original ps4 recently started overheating, even after a basic cleaning. Because of your videos, I had the balls to completely disassemble it and replace the dried out thermal paste. Works like new again. I would have never attempted that a year ago.
Have you ever made, or considered making, a video or series about how to solder? I do phone repair and we don't offer soldering services, I personally have some basic soldering experience but no micro soldering. I love how you explain things and was just curious.
Man, you're good at this. Moving those little pins over while soldering them is kind of a pain. You maybe could have reheated the big socket pins, and pressed the entire socket over to that side to make the data pins line up better.
Didn't the original Xbox One have HDMI 1.4b? and doesn't the Series S have HDMI 2.1? Is the HDMI functionality built on to the motherboard? I am amazed that you made it work.
1:55 I want to say you kinda inspired me to fix an old Nintendo DS game card I found recently. Years ago I dropped it with my Nintendo DS into the ocean.
inspired by your videos I started to try to fix old hardware. Now I have an Apple Keyboard that is differently broken than before, a broken 27" iMac that I want to transform to a monitor (I have the parts, but don't dare to replace the electronics), and a disassembled Roomba 3xx that I can't fix. My apartment looks like I am a hoarder, but I still try to fix stuff ;)
Great to see another console fixed. Good job. I guess with the alien HDMI port it would have made sense to clean the GND holes and align the port with a little pushing to the side. Solder the small Pins first. The GND only after... It looked like that way you wouldn’t have had to bend each pin...
I'm sure there are some electrical engineers that are super picky with solder, but honestly I've always been on the mindset even if it's ugly, if it works, then you're good to go.
Super creative fix! Ive had to some jank fixes like that myself every so often. Hopefully right to repair makes it through congress. Im tired of this proprietary parts hording. Xerox is also one of the worst. Cant wait to see more!
Good fix, but I don't know if it's sellable now with the way the port sits inside the case. It doesn't have any side-to-side or up-down support around it from the case like the original. You could use a 2-part epoxy around the port on the board to stabilize it I suppose, but then all future HDMI cables would still need to be reworked to fit.
Awesome fix but does the Xbox series S use a 2.1 hdmi? So wouldn’t u lose quality going back to a 2.0? Or is that only board based, non the less awesome fix!
Pretty nice soldering, only thing I like to do (because OCD) is after I get it soldered, I put flux and hit each one with my iron and drag it down so I get nice smooth solder joints with no blobs
Man I love your channel. Great job finding a part that worked! So do you resell that thing with a note telling shoppers they'll have to mangle their HDMI connector to use it?
Stripped screws: use a rubber band wide enough to cover the screw and push the band in the hole with the screwdriver and screw it right out. Don't know if it works on hex screws though.
Beginning of video: I bought the very first broken SouljaGame console on Ebay. Let's see if I can fix it! End of video: Throws it away in the trash. Love the videos dude! Keep up the great Work!
It almost looked like the stock port has a small extender piece. Did you try disassembling the bad port to see if that extender piece could be retrofitted into a different one?
I'm sure you know already @TronicsFix - on stripped screws - if you throw a "wide" rubber band in between the screw and the screwdriver you can sometimes get a better "bite" to help remove them. :)

Nice work around with the hdmi port! It's does seem to be easier to sacrifice soft plastic than hard plastic.

You can do it! Just takes practice
So shaving the cable shroud makes your connector look bigger...........this video brought to you by Manscaped :P

Yes please
9:06 I felt like I was who repaired the Xbox SS. Excellent video, as always
Steve, could you speak a bit more about your working bench, the working matt and what lightning you use? Thanks!
Isn't the replacement port going to be an earlier hdmi version and won't work the same and have all the features of newer hdmi 2.1 ports?

Love the video, I'm assuming the HDMI wasn't a 2.1 Port unless I'm mistaken?
I skipped right to the part when you dropped it. 10/10
Use a piece of rubber in the head of the stripped screw to fill the voids a give grip. Helps a lot.
I'm not a professional, but channels like yours have gotten me to repair countless phones, game consoles, and even appliances.

To reiterate you can take a rubber band and stretch it over a T socket and make it grip a slightly damaged screw enough to remove with less worry.
Great video! One query with this HDMI port change does the Series S have a 2.1 HDMI port on it or does that only apply to the cable?
HDMI extender before you put the case on would work, the HDMI would poke out of the back but its not perfect either way :)
Yes, that might work but it would also likely need to be shaved down
Nice work man, you are good fixing things
