Steve, Would really love to see a tour of your shop/repair area and your storage/organization for all your parts and components, someday. So many saved consoles and electronics, and you usually have something to fix each one.
I've fixed heatsinks which have looked worse than that one. It's actually possible to get back to "close to original" - as long as nothing is "punctured".
Steve, I just now realized that you have a channel that is 'TronicsFix Longs'... I was going to your original channel looking for all the long versions but to no avail! Glad my pea sized brain figured it out!! Keep up the good work and hope your treatments are going well... can't wait to see you in a 100% clean bill of health!
Looks like what I used to see at Cash Generators. Crackheads would break into a house, throw a mattress out first and then throw valuables onto mattress. Sometimes they would bounce off and smash on concrete
Admirable attempt to fix this, but the spare parts are gonna cost more than a whole new unit. Personally, with all that effort, it would be a good candidate for putting in a crazy case or doing something off the wall with it.
@TronicsFix Longs Steve we really need to start coordinating the release of your videos to coincide with my lunch. That way I'm not getting in trouble for watching your videos when I'm supposed to be working lol😂. Really though, I hope things are going well. We're behind ya man!
I suspect that the design of the XBOX Series X will have protected the Main Boards to some extent except for some of the Ports of course, That definitely seems like one Angry Significant other or someone seriously lost their rag while playing a Game! Cool Video though Steve! 🙂🇬🇧
I'm going with a bad report card and the Mother went crazy on the XBox lol . . .I had my doubt you would fix this one but the master proved me wrong congrats on the fix
definitely a result from some unfortunate gamer who came under the ire of their spouse's rage. i have seen worse but damn, that is painful to the EYES. i hope you recover soon!
Hey guys. I like how Steve pretended to make a mistake with that cable upside down, just so we're thrown off the trail. In Family Guy, the Person I'm thinking of worked seruptitiously in a record store. Maybe in real life, he's a Game Console Technition!
Mine occasionally crashes, but only while playing Halo Infinite or Apex online on big maps. Re did thermal paste, but it still happens on occasion. Almost curious if a ram chip is flakey.
The intro for the damage & continued laughter says everything before you start. You rock & thank you for attempting to fix what most toss away unfortunately. 🕵️🥰 One of three channels I get notifications for. 🙃🤑🫶😂
My thoughts on owning an Xbox Series X. Let me point out, I like the performance over the previous Xbox and especially over the PS5. I was pretty disappointed over they hype on the PS5 especially when I dumped $500.00 into it after buying the Xbox Series X. That aside I can state that the performance on the Series X is the only thing I like about the console which really technically is NOT a console but infact a TOWER by design. Now based off use the Series Xs only redeeming value is performance only. 1. The home screen is a total mess with no way to completely knock out ads. Also there was not much improvement since they kept the previous consoles UI design. 2. Whether they felt it was unneccesary or not many gamers still use optical cables, both Series X and PS5 tossed it out. 3. Console design was very poorly implemented such as disc drive location, placement of USB including limited USB on front of the console. No DP support and no current hdmi earc connection for digital dolby surround sound setups. I mean come on for the price is this on par with what they call a barebone system? 4. You'd think Microsoft would have went with a 4 terabyte internal hardrive or bigger to accomidate more games since most content is already surpassing 100 gbs. Also there should have been an external port for plugging up XS compatable storage drives for easy swap outs imstead of a stupid internal storage stick. 5. Lastly games being released. Microsoft keeps injecting politics and ideology into games promoting lgbtq and so on. It's killing the gaming industry, nobody wants woke crap. Players are looking for other excuses but the one truth they avoid is right in front of them. At this point I don't see any future for consoles. Consoles had a good run for decades. I remember talking to some friends right around the time the Xbox 360 came out telling them that yes the graphics are getting better and smoother yet at some point when graphics reach a certain point of realism the luster and eye candy of games would phase out. I also said games in general would lose steam because lack of imagination, story telling and flat out crappy content would eventually turn players away. My final statement was that consumers would eventually weigh in buying consoles and games which could go into decline in the near future. Now here we are in 2024 and everything I said is coming to fruition. By 2027 it has been speculated Microsoft will cease making consoles. All I say is you has better start buying extra storage now so you can save all your online digital content otherwise you risk losing that which you have invested in.
The Series X is a way way better console than the PS5. The home screen is great, I have no ads on mine. It's smooth and easy to use. The console looks great, vs the PS5 which is absolutely hideous and way too big for what it is. The Series X is compact and very easy to work on. At least Xbox put proper factory storage in, whereas the PS5 did not. I loved the PS4, but until Sony decides to completely change the look of the PS5 and make it look better, I won't pick one up. The series X performance is way better. I've tested them side by side with the same game, installing and loading and playing the same game and the Xbox is way faster. I have tons of games on the hard drive and I've had my console since Christmas of 2021, and I just bought a WD 1TB expansion card. Most PS5 users have to buy more storage right away because it's not even a full 1TB out of the box and it even says it in small print too. I've also taken both consoles apart and the series x is so so much easier to work on. Of course if a significant other takes a hammer or power tools to your console, it's gonna end up like this for sure. Also, adding storage to the series x is not internal, you just plug the SSD into the back of the console, vs the PS5 where you have to take it apart and break stuff getting into it because it's the cheapest plastic ever
I have issues with my PS3 slim. It won’t load GTA 5; the HDD just shuts down. Every other game loads perfectly, even large games. I also replaced the HDD and the console still shuts down the HD. I don’t know what else it could be
possible answer to that damaged xbox, kid prolly wasnt listening to parent/parents and parent got mad and might have interefered XD, when i was a kid i made my mom so mad she smashed my nes on concrete, i def listened to her after that, never pissed mom off ever again.
Hehe I was thinking someone chucked it into Trump's mouth whilst he was ranting on about something, bit like a breeze block inside a washing machine and it got tore all up... :P Now I could have been really risque and said that thundercloud bird he is fighting against sat on it and same thing happened but thought to keep the banter above the equator...
This is a longer version of a video we put on my main channel. This channel is for the longer versions with more footage in them for those that want more details.
I wish fixing the electronics was actually fixing, rather than just replacing with other parts. It would have been neat to see you fix the power supply, or the disc drive, or the heatsink.
He fixes plenty of motherboards with hdmi or power issues.. what more do you want? The diskdrives are boards are married, not much to fix on.. especially when these are bent.. check out his other videos :)
Why pay 150 dollars lol... this is worth 50 dollars... you really overpaid for this one... i understand that you do it for the video... but normally 150 is way to much for that condition!
@@Samuel-eo1pjyou act like the series x is still hard to get and going for $500. It’s a $300 console brand new in the box. This Xbox was $70 max for parts and that’s that
I am crushed as there was no angelic singing and starshine as the 'perfect amount of thermal paste' was applied.
Yes! I knew something was missing!
Steve,
Would really love to see a tour of your shop/repair area and your storage/organization for all your parts and components, someday.
So many saved consoles and electronics, and you usually have something to fix each one.
I’m thinking there was an angry spouse and a hammer involved here .
Just hammer? I think something more powerful was used
Someone messed around and found out
I like to think there's a big screen TV somewhere that got it from this Xbox.
Myman
@@abhishekroy7722 How weak are you that you can't do that damage with a hammer? lol
It never ceases to amaze me the devices you bring back to life. I mean that Xbox looked ROUGH.
I've fixed heatsinks which have looked worse than that one. It's actually possible to get back to "close to original" - as long as nothing is "punctured".
Steve, I just now realized that you have a channel that is 'TronicsFix Longs'... I was going to your original channel looking for all the long versions but to no avail! Glad my pea sized brain figured it out!! Keep up the good work and hope your treatments are going well... can't wait to see you in a 100% clean bill of health!
Lol, glad you figured this out. Treatments are going well. One more to go!
Looks like what I used to see at Cash Generators. Crackheads would break into a house, throw a mattress out first and then throw valuables onto mattress. Sometimes they would bounce off and smash on concrete
Diversity is your strength lol
I hope the owner of this console is alright.
Regards from Brazil. Glad you're doing fine and almost cured!
brazil mentioned!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
20:30 no sound effect, so obviously it shouldn't work!
Niiiice. Initially I thought this can't be saved. Good thing you have replacement parts laying around. Amazing repair. :)
Yeah, it's nice to have a bunch of spare parts for these.
Admirable attempt to fix this, but the spare parts are gonna cost more than a whole new unit. Personally, with all that effort, it would be a good candidate for putting in a crazy case or doing something off the wall with it.
Are new spare parts readily available? Not everyone has a collection of non-working hardware to salvage.
@TronicsFix Longs Steve we really need to start coordinating the release of your videos to coincide with my lunch. That way I'm not getting in trouble for watching your videos when I'm supposed to be working lol😂. Really though, I hope things are going well. We're behind ya man!
Lol, I'll try to do better at uploading at a time that's more convenient for you.
Did you forget to put the black band around the inners of the xbox when you put it back together in the new case?
Originally, yes, but I did go back an put it on
I suspect that the design of the XBOX Series X will have protected the Main Boards to some extent except for some of the Ports of course, That definitely seems like one Angry Significant other or someone seriously lost their rag while playing a Game! Cool Video though Steve! 🙂🇬🇧
Great to see you giving these consoles a second life
0:40 usually you can press the eject button and that’ll power it up like you pressed the normal power button (if it’s a working functional Xbox)
Is the chemo over with? I don't keep up to date on it but I keep hoping you get through it asap.
I got happy when i saw he had hair
I'm going with a bad report card and the Mother went crazy on the XBox lol . . .I had my doubt you would fix this one but the master proved me wrong congrats on the fix
It took some force to do that kind of damage! It looked like someone dropped it down a couple flights of stairs or something...
Great video steve. Glad your doing better man. Keeping you in our prayers for a speedy recovery
definitely a result from some unfortunate gamer who came under the ire of their spouse's rage.
i have seen worse but damn, that is painful to the EYES.
i hope you recover soon!
Just curiously, since you paid $150, did it end up being worth fixing after all your expenses?
Great video, loving your two channels
I've never thought about asking, but are those just giant slabs of aluminum they smash between the pcb's?
Pretty much
Hey guys. I like how Steve pretended to make a mistake with that cable upside down, just so we're thrown off the trail. In Family Guy, the Person I'm thinking of worked seruptitiously in a record store. Maybe in real life, he's a Game Console Technition!
i do enjoy these long videos good work on repairing that xbox
Thanks! Glad you enjoy them
Mine occasionally crashes, but only while playing Halo Infinite or Apex online on big maps. Re did thermal paste, but it still happens on occasion. Almost curious if a ram chip is flakey.
Good repair video as always ❤
Thanks!
Great Job Steve.
What happened to the “perfect amount of thermal paste” special effects?!?!? I miss that!!
With all the bad news on xbox sides no wonder someone threw his console
I'd really would love to hear the love story behind that Xbox 😅
What?
Looks like one owned by Tango Gameworks employee...
Love your videos Steve!!
That machine took a beating from Mike Tyson 😂😂😂
Or Robin Givens
The bent heat sink isnt going to have an effect
Hope no one was hurt cause people don't usually like when other people destroy their expensive stuff.
Bruce (Phoenix), your consoles fixed!
Nice fix. Great stuff. As always.
The intro for the damage & continued laughter says everything before you start.

you should get hold of some retro micro computers like a zx spectrum or comador 64
Nice job Steve. I hope you are doing well. One question; why do Americans say "sarder" when it is pronounced "solder" as in sole der?
I have issues with my PS3 slim. It won’t load GTA 5; the HDD just shuts down. Every other game loads perfectly, even large games. I also replaced the HDD and the console still shuts down the HD. I don’t know what else it could be
Is it a Orginal downloaded game or a copie ?
@@chickenfreak1206 *copy
It’s the original game. I tried it on another ps3 slim and it loaded normally
"You need to add a good amount of flux or soldering is not going to work". Never used any flux in my life.
Guaranteed to work way better with flux then without, it’s going to be a cold solder joint without the flux
I never did too, but when I start using it, I thought to myself I had to start earlier doing so..
Love yaaa! Hope you’re doing fine!
How can i remove dust from the inside of my series x without opening it?
I watch your videos when I go to sleep so I can wake up with all the fixing knowledge
Another great video. Really enjoying this longer format. Cheers and I'm praying for you.
Much appreciated!
Did I used to own that X Box?
These new shaped footballs eh?
So if you replace all the parts, is it the same console?
The ship of Theseus conundrum, mmmmmm!
possible answer to that damaged xbox, kid prolly wasnt listening to parent/parents and parent got mad and might have interefered XD, when i was a kid i made my mom so mad she smashed my nes on concrete, i def listened to her after that, never pissed mom off ever again.
Console abuse should be a felony.
Definitely some parents got angry and use the hammer
Or
Gamer rage
So where's the concrete xbox video
If you don't solder with enough flux then your solder is going to sucks!
Is it just me, or did it seem like he was unusually sloppy with his soldering. Dont mean this with any hate. He is better than me at it.
Is this for sale? And if so, do u accept shipping to Iran?
Is Xbox in Iran allowed?
@@yak-machining it's allowed but very expensive....
Congratulations
That user must have been sick-minded to get deeply involved in a game just to realize he lost it and started smashing the poor console!
You are legend 💪
But the disc is coming out all the time don't you think that's something it's not suppose to do xD....
holy shit. lol someones crazy ass S.O definitely took a few whacks at that one.
Hehe I was thinking someone chucked it into Trump's mouth whilst he was ranting on about something, bit like a breeze block inside a washing machine and it got tore all up... :P Now I could have been really risque and said that thundercloud bird he is fighting against sat on it and same thing happened but thought to keep the banter above the equator...
The first theory makes sense, since the system seemed to hit or be hit by something very dense.
Wait this is old
Reeeeeeeee
This is a longer version of a video we put on my main channel. This channel is for the longer versions with more footage in them for those that want more details.
He didn't take the trash out on time
.. I feel as though this is definitely not worth 150 dollars.
its too dark...
no I think some one actually punched this with there fist when he lost at at COD on line
“Its me or the ps5” xbox remix
6:46 dude you tried to put in a COD game *of course it's not gonna work*
I think dad bounced this X box off his son's head.
Beyond economic repair comes to mind!
Awesome! 😁
It seems like that XBox got the angry girlfriend/spouse treatment!!
wasnt this the xbox that got returned for a bad hdmi and didnt have an x calmp.... pretty sure i see that x clamp.
I Feel that you've paid too much for that console in that condition
Yeaaa im with you braghhh a working mother board $150 and his spare parts from his shop shakabraghhhh
This Xbox may have not been destroyed by a significant other so much as Phil Spencer over the latest sales figures. AMIRITE?!?!
I wish fixing the electronics was actually fixing, rather than just replacing with other parts. It would have been neat to see you fix the power supply, or the disc drive, or the heatsink.
Do you know the tolerances of the metal of a heatsink and the disc drive was bent as, maybe veganism has made your brain wet.
He fixes plenty of motherboards with hdmi or power issues.. what more do you want? The diskdrives are boards are married, not much to fix on.. especially when these are bent.. check out his other videos :)
Often times when repairing things its actually just replacing. I get what you mean, but that’s just how it is unfortunately
u´r the best
Ahh he was play WWE with his xbox
Why pay 150 dollars lol... this is worth 50 dollars... you really overpaid for this one... i understand that you do it for the video... but normally 150 is way to much for that condition!
Nobody is selling a Xbox series x for 50 bucks even if it's broken
@@Samuel-eo1pjyou act like the series x is still hard to get and going for $500. It’s a $300 console brand new in the box. This Xbox was $70 max for parts and that’s that
With all this recycling you do, you put Greta Thunberg to shame. Love and prayers from the Isle of Man, me old china.
Unfunny TH-camr who tried to get fame by breaking the Xbox, like 99% of them does that. That's my theory.
Somebody got fed up of losing on Fortnite
Me mad be like: wut da hhhheeeecccckkkk
This makes me sad poor xbox somebody really got angry. lol 😂
When jealous girlfriends attack! LOL
someone had a bad day.........
Looks like rage quit on steroids.
Why does this seem as a rip off channel ? I swear ive already seen this on his other channel.
This is the longer version of the video
Durrp
Yeah, all the videos here are on my other channel but on this channel we leave a lot more of the footage in for those that want to see more of it.
Someone rage quit?
Not worth nothing that
xbox sx broken😳
Put the blame on Xbox, If you are bad gamer. hehe
wow
might as as well recycle it and buy a new one lol
Get PWNED one time and.... slam slam slam
your videos are awesome but low quality
RAGE QUIT
Fixing a Xbox Series X... with a whole other Xbox Series X
