I Bought a BOX of Broken Xboxes! Can I Fix Them? Xbox One S Repair - I bought these from someone who bought them from someone else... so not really sure what to expect. All the parts came disassembled in a box and the first thing I had to do is figure out which parts were for which console. Then it was time to start diagnosing and making any needed repairs.

His smile cheers me up, it's like: "ok, we couldn't fix them all, but don't be sad, we were successful in two, and that's what matters". Keep up the great work, Steve!
Hey thanks!
I wish broken hardware was like this on my country, usually broken here means totally destroyed for a high price.
Tell me about it. I thought given how common joycon drift is I could pick up a few different colour joycons on eBay and just replace the sticks just for a bit of variety. Turns out the broken ones are priced just as high as the working ones! 😩
@@dreamcastfan Yep. Trashed joy cons go for like $35 individually while new ones are $40. Not worth it.
For me, these are easily my favorite videos (ironically your most expensive no doubt!) 😊 Shorter form fixes of multiple consoles is better than a long video for one console in my opinion. Great job Steve 😎😊
Glad you like them! I enjoy these too and they usually get good views but I also try to change it up and keep things fresh. It's a tough balance as you probably already know.
Just thought I'd give a couple of pointers for anyone who needs it
----- SPOILERS -----
Those HDMI filters are kind of redundant. The circuit will work without them because the path is complete underneath the filters. I never test them because of that
If you have a mismatched or bad hard drive, it can fail either 0%, 1-5% or 59% but a disc drive issue will fail at around 72% :)
Thanks! I always appreciate your comments like this.
@@Tronicsfix no problem, I hope I'm not intruding when i do post stuff like this. I kind of have a lot of stuff just crammed in my head and not noted down anywhere, like the percentages for OSU and what it means when they fail at certain percents, mind you sometimes looking in the log files are much easier lol
Thanks to your videos I felt comfortably enough to disassemble my PS4 pro and clean it and to change the crusty thermal paste.
Now it’s so so so quiet!
Nice work!
nicely done!
I love these videos so much. Been watching for about 2 years and since then I've found myself more and more tempted to try fixing stuff like this. Started with older broken consoles around my house and now starting to look at newer ones! So glad I found this channel, nice stuff Steve!
Hey Steve! Hails from Brazil! Keep them vids coming, love to see ya repairing stuff!
More to come!
Watching your videos has made me so much more confident in taking apart my consoles. Used to be convinced that making any mistake will break whatever it is I'm working on but it's fun for me now. So thank you!
These videos always make me want to attempt to fix my own damaged consoles. Just dont have that knowledge yet!
Keep the great content coming
Another awesome video, I love seeing these multiple console repair videos much more than just one at a time.
Great job man on saving a couple more consoles! I have learned a lot from you in doing my own console repair business at home. Thank you!
I've been waiting for this type of video all week 😂 love the content, keep the good work Steve!
I look forward to your videos every week. Another great video as always!!
Xbox is such a non-entity in Japan, this is probably one of the very few videos with a JP-JP dashboard. Kinda cool!
As always, an absolute delight to watch. 😊
It's cool you do this kind of work. A preserver of history in a throw away society.
Love your Xbox videos man, I'm addicted 👌
Awesome video as usual Steve. Bummer about the amount of liquid damage on that last one. Just in all the wrong places.
I have been focused on gaming channels. But I came back to see this and I’m glad to see you uploading. I’m excited to see how you would do
I enjoy watching your videos because it shows that anything can be fixed
Steve's thermal paste game is always on point. Never fails
love the "perfect amount of thermal paste" moment !
Love these, Steve. Thanks for the video.
Doctor Tronics. Well done... 😊
I love the multiple machine videos.
Great work Steve love your videos man
LOL I laughed pretty hard when that screen came up in a different language. Love the vids!
Nice work. I had that problems with xbox one first gen. Thank you for videos helps me alot :-)
Well, hello Tronics Friday! Good to see you around..!😌
You too!
Used to have an Xbox One X with a freshly replaced hard drive and it seemed to never have a good day. I was always battling it to launch games, programs or to boot up at all since it kept getting E106 and related errors. So glad I finally switched back to a PlayStation, which has given me no problems so far.
You're videos are always great!
I appreciate that!
Another awesome fix!
Awesome video Steve
Thanks 👍
One of the few channels that i have the notification bell on
Love it! Thanks for the support.
You gave it a good shot for 3/3. Some things just are past their usable life.
Never forget, the perfect amount of thermal paste
Great job brother.
Much appreciated
Please, Show us the ways of the thermal paste.
Nicely done Steve! That poor liquid damage tho ☹
Two AWESOME xbox fixes
Wow the way you replaced that retimer chip… Great stuff at least you got 2 out of 3 not bad..
It's nice seeing consoles being repaired
Today was the first day i created and ordered my first self made pcb from jlcpcb. I hope it will be fine for my project😀
Great video. Needs to be longer.
Exiting for 1 million sub
Nice saves
I was just watching to see the quantity of thermal paste used. I was not disappointed.
Nice video 😀👍
Thank you 👍
Love your content
Glad you enjoy!
Thank you for the great video
Thank you for watching!
Knock on wood, but it still confuses the heck out of me that there can be so many devices this size that get liquid damage. I understand the handheld devices get liquid damage often, but who is using there xbox as a coaster? Lol. Im sure some of them are possibly unavoidable damage but dang! Its got to be annoying to fix for a customer at times. Another great video, great job!
Great video 👍🙂
Thank you 👍
I would love to see you tackle a PSX DVR system. It's a PS2 with DVR functionalities that was only released in Japan.
Good work bro but you still have to TRY to fix the water damaged one in a future video!
Well done
Hi! ive been waiting for this
Hope you enjoyed it!
He bats a homer 2 out of 3 times? I'll sign him to my team! Good work!
Nice vid 👍🏾
As soon as you mentioned the evidence of liquid and the disrupted capacitor on #3 I knew you were going to try a known good PSU in it, but at the same time I was screaming "don't do it, test PSU #3 in console #2!" inside my head as I was worried the damage may have caused a short that could potentially harm the known good PSU.
other than that, great video as always! and I can't argue with the perfect amount of thermal paste 👍
These are so cool :)
Idk why but I do like that shade of purple.
Like the song says, 2 outta 3 ain't bad and you can use some of the third for parts (probably).
I love your videos they're too interesting lol
Glad you like them!
@@Tronicsfix I am studying to become an electrician and maintainer of industrial electrical systems but I would love to be able to repair electronic boards with microscopic components like you do👋🏻👋🏻
05:53 i thought you were going to say "right to jail" -insert parks and recreation meme
what thermal paste do you usually use? on computers i use the best i can get my hands on but feel like its too much for consoles.
Nice job. im trying to revive a psp 1004 and a PlaystationOne
2ish questions: you've mentioned in the past that you don't have the tools to reball apu's etc - does that mean you have the knowledge (if not the experience) to do that sort of repair?
Also, do you have any videos etc about reflow soldering, or hot air soldering - also does your soldering course cover drag soldering of small connectors/chips?
I don't know this guys name, found the channel months ago randomly and binged so many vids and watch every new one right away, and yet every video I get excited for him when he gets something working lol
So glad to hear! My name is Steve.
Steve’s = TronicsFix! 😀
2 out of 3 isn't bad. Love watching all your work. How about trying a quick Electronics Repair School fix attempt of scrubbing lighter fluid around all that liquid damaged one, blast it with the heat gun and see if that makes any difference. Seems to work for Sorin an awful lot of the time. Gotta be worth a quick video? You know we are all dying to see you try more with that one...
Tronicsfix, what heat and wind speed settings do you use on your rework station to remove those chips?
I had a Liquid/roach damaged console come in.. looked like coolaid or like pop on the board. Turns out the main PMIC failed. Steve you should check those FETs and see if any are shorted.
Hey buddy awesome 😁👋🔥☝️
I like these kind of videos from you but I kind of wanted to see if you had all the parts to make the two xbox one s complete
Even if it looks bad and liquid damaged you never know sometimes with a good clean in an ultrasonic cleaner you can fix it or maybe a mosfet in the power rails died or something simple, but it certainly does not look good
Weekend Saved... Steve applied the Perfect amount of Thermalpaste #Thermalpaste Sensei 🙏
You made it on popular mechanics!!!!
I saw that a while back. Glad to see Right to Repair getting some attention by them
Finally got something to repair!
Would be cool to see you explore and try to save some old Retro games consoles.....
Odds are the previous owner the the third console ended up getting console banned and poured water into his console while it was turned on in order to fry it and try to get it in before the warranty was expired. Probably failing because they're now able to read the serial number and send it back or immediately ban the console they sent to them. They probably sent it back to the owner so they either sold it for parts or gave it away as defective. I think people have tried and attempted that before. It worked for some people but when more and more people start to do things like that companies get more aware of the scams coming their ways due to the damage the customers have caused themselves. It doesn't really mean that's what actually happened though! But if that's what the previous owner did I wouldn't be very surprised. And they can probably get in pretty big trouble for something like that..
For some reason, I felt very unsatisfied not seeing the repaired xbox's fully re-assembled... Don't know why, working is working... but I would have loved to see them properly put back together at the end on the video... On the upside, I did finally subscribe though!
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for future videos
@@Tronicsfix Thanks... I guess seeing you put a disk in the finished console and play for ten seconds is like a little reward for the viewer I was kinda looking forward to...
Brilliant video as usual. Any chance you can help me with an issue I'm having with my Xbox One S disk drive? I've bought a second hand one and a new one and replaced my disk drive. Both the second hand and the new disk drives function perfectly fine reading disks, however there is a horrible grinding sound whenever it reads the disk as well as the fact that it powers the the disk drive off when it no longer needs to read the disk and it would make the same horrible grinding sound. I initially thought the second hand drive was somewhat faulty, that's why I got a new one. But they both seem to make the same noise. Swapped out the daughter board fine and the console is recognising the drives, it just makes a horrid noise as if the console it about to die. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
ah the old switcheroo .. steve showing us the tricks XD
I wonder if a bath in isopropyl alcohol, scrubbing it with a toothbrush and drying it with compressed air would help it? I have fixed water damaged vehicle ECMs like that in the past. An even better option would be an ultrasonic cleaner, but large ones can be a bit pricey.
wow, that was some biblical liquid damage!
Lol!
I love the shirt ☺
My guy what did you use to remove the board solder in replacing the timer that was quick stuff
nice shirt... it should say ''Right To Repair'' on it
It has to be a way to reprogram de optical unit to match the original, so you can use another one...
do you have any upcoming videos on the switch oled ???
@TronicsFix
Hi, I know it has nothing to do with current video, but just to ask you if there is any possibility to put a HDMI output (module) to any TV in between TV module (inputs and tuner module) and LCD/LED module (module of the same TV)? Basically to put output before picture is processed on LCD/LED decoder?
Need it for active background RGB lighting, 720p30 will be enough... But then again, need it to be HDR decoded in order to get proper colors to RGB LEDs...
Thanks in advance...
Are you going to make a video about switch oled?
I would have loved to see if just cleaning that PCB would have done something. I mean the chance is very low but you never know.
very nice video and 2 out of 3 fixes is pretty good. i'm wondering.... if the discdrive is married to the motherboard then if you diskdrive dies you can never replace it with a new one? or is it some firmware in the drive which you can transfer to another drive? and if you change the laser only of one discdrive to another will that also work? Nice to see the perfect amount again :D have a good one Steve. oh i also bought a broken XBOS digital which will be delivered tomorrow so at lease i've got some more info from you ;)
Generally no, IMO, I remember the PS3 gen I think you could if you knew the code and had a expensive reprogrammer, the earlier models had a circuitboard that was attached by a ribbon so that was all you needed to put on another drive. The 360 I am not sure, I know there was ways of getting the code off the drive so I assume you could replace it. Not sure about the PS4 gen but I heard bad things. Typical companies blocking right to repair.
As long as you have the daughterboard from the married drive you can swap that into a replacement drive.
@@revengenerd1 It was really easy on the 360, thanks to how common custom firmware for the DVD drives was and how many tools and methods were developed for flashing them. For early drives it was a simple case of connect it to a PC, dump firmware, get key, write key to new drive.
I've never seen a programmer for a PS3 Blu-Ray drive before, but I know you can use CFW to remarry the drives.
Every console since that though... yeah, security's been too tight to find a way to do this. You just have to hope any disc drive issue doesn't involve the PCB.
Yeah, the drives are married and there is no known way for a consumer to read/write the firmware on them to change the keys and pair them with a different console. Swapping lasers and other parts is fine, but you can't just swap out the PCBs/daughterboards. If you have a damaged PCB it might be possible to remove the chip with the firmware on it and put that onto the PCB from a different drive, assuming it's not that chip that's the problem, but in general you just have to hope that any drive issue isn't down to a PCB fault.
Ahh oke so the daughterboard contains the chip with the firmware... yes so it's in that case soft/firmware married and not hardware right. Nice know thx 👍🏻
What version of osu1 did you use? My one s is also stuck in e106 :(( should I change my hard drive?
When I did my computer course at college (9 years ago), we were always taught to use anti static wrist bands In order to not fry the components. Is this not nessesary anymore? Just curious 🤔
Im waiting for the day Steves next video is sponsored by Thermal paste.
Hey tronics, I wanted to know if you could do fixing Dualshock 3 controllers as well. I have like only 2 functional and 6 non functional and it would have been cool to see you fixing the common problems they usually have. same with dualshock 4
I hope you have a nice day!
When your in school and your on a mask break and you watch this beautiful video😂😂
I’m not sure if you read the comments but I have a really really cool idea for Xbox one s , idea is to take the Xbox one s digital, or one with out a disk drive and make a custom super slim care with a thinner fan to almost make like a ps2 slim, but Xbox , pls do this it be really cool
perfect vid my Xbox one s is very messed up i wanted to know if you could fix it the problem is the HDMI port please help me
Do more PC repairs
