- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2022
- This Series X isn't displaying properly and appears to have a broken HDMI port. Will I be able to replace the port without causing more damage?
Unlikely.
But, let's find out!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

Stupid rubber strap thing
Yeah I don't like rubbers either
@@samholdsworth420 Why?
Yes I had a similar problem with the stupid rubber strap too!
@@dvsr5296 because I'm allergic to them. Dermatitis 😭
@@samholdsworth420 That's not the real reason you don't like them. Lambskin exists.
This fix had it all, mystery, drama and a happy ending!!! Good man Steve!!!
😁 thanks Greg!
spoilers
I hope they'll make a sequel with a new bad guy and a new plot :D
Yes special massage for my eyeballs.
Even had a rubber strap-on.
I like your videos because you break stuff almost as often as you fix it. Keep the good work.
It's just because he's bad at what he's doing
@@H.EL-Othemany I've looked everywhere, but can't find your TH-cam channel with 100K+ subscribers, mate.
Thick pcb you should use your solder wick to remove the mount points first rather than try to heat the board all the way through all at once. Makes it a lot easier when you go topside
Or use the desolder gun...
@@oldguy9051 AKA "The Cow"
low melt would have helped too
Yeah but he was trying to do a quick fix. Ended up making it worse. No shortcuts next time steve.
@@sirrichel9155 True
Man!!! That soldering bypass was so hard to pull off! I was getting anxiety just by watching you have a go at it. You got my total respect for pulling that one off! Love your channel and your fixes man!
when he found the chip, I paused the video and looked up the chip. from the results, this chip flying off when doing HDMI replacements is very common!
then I went down the rabbit hole more and found it is not for sale anywhere and the only way to get one is from a donor board.
went back to the video and was super glad there is a way to bypass it. I know the PlayStation really does not like filters not being used and this could have ended poorly if it was Sony
You sir have the appropriate amount of balls! 👍 Sketcheriffic, and awesome fix.
Thanks Chris! 👍
but allways the incorrect amount of thermal paste
I saw that chip hit the deck when you pulled the port off, was hoping it was one of the caps that's only there for protection and not strictly necessary like I've seen on other vids.
Righteous hack in the end though, gratz.
At 6: 41when the nozzle touches the board , probably knocked it off
Another fantastic video! And I appreciate all the elements, especially the masking. When you realize just how tiny of a workspace you're really working with, it makes the repair that much more impressive.
Same ESD as the ONE X's I believe but if you bypass you will only get 1080p. Love the videos my man! Keep it up.
Great Job Steve! Good save with that chip! I did a video of one of these a few weeks back, and they do require a fair amount of heat to remove the port. I would recommend using LOW MELT solder, it makes the job a little easier!
Yeah, definitely wish I had some low-melt for this job. Will be using it next time for sure! 👍
@@StezStixFix You still did a great job Steve and you got it working! They are still a real pain to do even with low melt. I don't really fancy doing another one any time soon!
@@StezStixFix You can buy 70 C melting temperature solder
Love your vids man! You’ve got such a good temperament for fault finding! Very soothing watching you work
you make electronic repair fun and hilarious, and your content is really helpful as well. you gained a new a loyal subscriber! Hello from Austin Tx!
Tuned in for solder masking, was not disappointed. Congrats on hitting 90k, well deserved!
Hey Steve, I've been watching your stuff for quite a while and you really inspired me to start this stuff myself. Thanks to your videos i managed to fix a friend's speaker, that had broke off pads on the charging port. Keep going with your amazing work!
Awesome video mate. The look on your face when it worked... Priceless. Love the content. Thanks for sharing 😁
So glad I found this channel. It's important to show what can go wrong as well as right. You are doing something definitely right with your approach. Keep it up!!!
Sick flip on that chip Steve :) also thanks for "boring" us with the solder mask
Fantastic as always and the look on your face when the bypass worked was priceless. Keep up the awesome videos.
Might need some merch with that shocked it's alive expression. Maybe a mug with " it's alive shocked face" on one side and "stupid game face" on the other
Hello Steve, discovered your channel few months back and I'm having an absolute blast, thank you.
Have you considered making tutorial videos about the tools you use and how to use them? I think it'll benefit some of us knowing how to use a multimeter for example; or when and how to use a solder flux. Thx!
Epic recovery and patience, Nice Win. Thanks for sharing 👍
Nicely done Steve 👍😎
Thanks Vince, felt good to get this one going. I hope it's a lasting fix, but time will tell. I'm keeping this for myself anyway, so I'm happy with how it turned out! If those chips become available to buy at some point, I will definitely get one👍
@@StezStixFix Yes, I'm sure it will be fine. Maybe just ground yourself before changing out the HDMI cable if you been doing the running man on thick piled carpet (don't deny it). Phil (TheCod3r) will no doubt be able to sort you out with one of those ESD chips in the future if needed 👌👍👍👍
@@Mymatevince I can indeed lol. I'll dm him and hook him up with one ;)
@@itsconsolefix Well done Phil👌👍👍👍👍
@@itsconsolefix Nice one Phil. I was going to suggest that too as I know you do lots of console repairs. I know you used to be into coding so you might like my latest video, where I had to reverse engineer some software and write a keygen to access a service menu in an inverter, as technical support were not being very helpful! I also found some Easter eggs in the program.
I've gotten back into redoing my guitar electronics after seeing your videos, and that is challenging enough for me. The precision required for what you're doing is absolutely crazy.
Amazing video thanks Steve
Wow this video was amazing! Keep up the great content
This must be one of my favourites. Good recovery on the fix. I hear that component is needed for 4k though, so maybe if you can get a replacement there will be a follow up video??
New to your channel, Earned yourself a sub. Liking the format and approach to fixing. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
One of my favourite videos in a while. I love when they go a bit longer. I feel like we are all here for the nitty gritty like the soldering mask. Great stuff.
Great job. Love your videos. I guess putting it fully back together solved the issue of no beep when turning it on.
Best video and fix ever!!!Nice job Steve
enjoyed this & your other videos please keep up the awesome work = )
brilliant ! love your videos ,keep up the good work!
ur videos are brilliant love ur humour in them!! keep it up mate
Congrats to the newest fix! What an amazing trip we could watch here!
Love ya work Steve.... Keep on Soldering on brother.....whats the backing track you are using for the over dub....sounds very Soulish mate...cheers
This works and I almost cried after seeing my home screen show up.. Because I had one of those "Hiroshima" repairs on mine.. All 19 PADS. 3 trace wires all the way up to the encoder chip, a new encoder, and I went through 3 HDMI ports and this bypass before it fired up! Great great video!!
Well done you, I am so pleased that you got it working.
"Want to skip" - What an insult! NEVER! Song is great!
Great fix Steve really enjoyed this one
Awesome video as always!!!!!!!
Low melt solder makes it way much easier, great video Steve!
Yes, low melt solder is the magic element here. 👍
Amazing work....great vid buddy.
Well impressed that you got it working! I would have no idea what to do after that. Well done :)
Hi Steve.. avid semi-amateur repairist here.. came by your channel flicking through repair videos and watched this one.. first one I've seen from you and.. its different.. but a good different haha I really liked it so I've subscribed :)
your sense of humour is so bloody brilliant!
Absolutely love your videos. You pretend like you don't really know what you're doing, but in reality you are a repair ninja.
love every single video you do
I love your expression when you fix things. It's awesome
What an awesome job Dave !
(It was great soldering skill too, Steve.)
Love your videos Steve
I found your video and also the way you present it very amazing .
6:40 You can see that IC go tata and landing on the mat. it was as you rested the board against the hot-air gun, Steve, OOPS!
Well done snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Brilliant video. Welcome back Dave!!
Awesome fix... tricky but very successful 👏👏👏
Love your videos, Dave.
Hi Steve great work as always.
Just curious if you find that aluminum tape works better than kapton tape for protecting plastic components
What an intense roller-coaster of emotions this was. My anxiety was through the roof. Only thing calming was seeing DAVE.
Another great fix Steve! 👍
Just found your channel a few weeks ago. Love the content, Dave & VO Steve. Any suggestions on removing hdmi that some genius hot glued in? Surprisingly there's no output to TV 😂. Keep ... Solid 😊
Cool vid, this is one of my favourites I've seen. Just wondering would you have shown the video still had that chip bypass thing not been a thing? Also, do you think it was just those 2 little caps touching, rather than the chip being nackered (the first time you tested after re-applying the chip that fell off)? (oops, I watched it again and noticed you had already separated those caps)...I wonder what this chip was supposed to do lol
No way 😮😮😮 that is crazy Dave congrats 👏👏👏
Amazing!!! I LOVE this videos
I've no idea how you managed to pull off this one, but great job and great video!
Thanks Adam! Yeah, I genuinely didn't think that bypass would work! 👍
Quality, love your videos 👌
?
Great video, I believe it's a solder mask you need. These are used for repairing main boards in mobile phones and are usually on a sheet on which you would typically use a solder paste to create the solder balls with the correct spacing.
Great fix mate very entertaining video
Thank you Steve for the awesome vide. Say hi to Dave from me. Did he enjoy the short vacation.
😁 thanks Frederick! Dave says Hi. And yes, I think he enjoyed being in a box in the shed for a week. Nice change of scenery for him! 🤣
One of the best channels on TH-cam on your way to 100k subs steve
Hi Stezstix I Love all your videos and the Raps :) I was just wondering im going to try and fix some of my kids stuff that requires soldering can i ask what is the Microscope you use please ? I understand you are a Busy legend so If you dont get back to me i understand :) Keep up the good work
Fantastic video
Well done Steve for getting it to work even though it gave you a headache 🤕 keep your videos coming sir you are a gemstone 💎 😊
New visitor to your channel and wow love it and yes you sir have mighty balls lol. Them moments when you think its not going to work then boom absolutely priceless awesome 😊
Low melt solder is the way to remove connecters and avoid any mess.
Hey Steve! I love your content, you should totally try to fix faulty/broken Guitar Hero/Rock Band guitars or drum sets, there’s a LOT of them that get tossed into the trash or sold for a few bucks
Crazy difficult work 😮 You so much deserve more than one ‚like‘ for this! ❤
i actually cheered when that came on!!, fantastic recovery! ow and that rap was on point!
What a brilliant fix! What's the chances of finding out you could bypass that chip! Brilliant video as usual 👏
im new too your videos I have too say great job I never knew you can do that on wiring that way bypassing that chip, I have Subscribing too your videos
Hi Steve, why didn't you use some solder wick to remove the solder from the attachement lugs of the HDMI port, and then heat the pin side ? Great work anyway, Cheers from France 😉
Lol Steve’s reaction to it working reminds me of Austin Powers and him trying not to talk about the mole 😂
Great repair Steve! This reminds me of when I used to do a lot of surface mount mods and rework on prototype phones. You spend literally hours working under the microscope then when you look at it with your eyes, it's so tiny, you think, how the heck did I just do that?!!... Those ESD devices are there to protect the device so it will be a tad more vulnerable now 😉
Vulnerable to what?
@@mandokir ESD, static electricity
I enjoyed that thanks. Any idea why there is a workaround fror that chip ? or was it just they had the same issue as you and accidentally removed it ?
Hey there, first of all, thanks for the great video :D
What is the name of the monitor you are using from the beginning of the video?
That Home Alone face was satisfying as hell. Stellar job, mate!
Hooray not a short. Long form rules.
Love the Van Gough painting impression when it worked
As soon as that chip dropped..... I swore for you. But daaaaamn man you pulled it back. Fantastic video mate 👍👍👍
Awesome fix!
Enjoyable as ever. Thanks!
These videos are fantastic, yeah the others may be able to solder better, and pretend to know they know what they are doing, but you're a much better presenter and entertainer. Keep up the great work.
Great singing this episode! Very easy listening style.
What type and size jumper wire do you use ? And great video and wish everything was that easy to bypass lol.
Discovered you this week. Been watching before bed and feel inspired. Going to buy a kit for this kind of stuff and then fix broken stuff in the future. Fuck planned obsoletion. Any advice on a cheap kit to get started? Probs get a soldering iron and one of your connections testing things. The beeper. And then start going from there.
Low melt solder is your friend. And clean your soldering iron tip, please. What you lacked in reballing, you definitely surpassed in bodge wiring! Nice work!
Good job, my dude!
Nice one Steve didnt think you were going to fettle this one for a while
I had full confidence in you. Great job!!!
Greetings from the Polish Polar Station on Svalbard;)
Steve,you looked like the painting named ' The Scream ' when you turned on the Xbox and it WORKED !😂
Tremendous job steve
Baller job, Steve!
Low melt solder is always worth a try.
