I love how he goes from having hair, to not having hair during the sponsor ad, to having hair again all while wearing the same tshirt LOL

6:43 The best part of Steve's videos, the PERFECT amount of thermal paste.

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. 😊

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!

You are probably the most dedicated KZfaqr I know. All those subs and you still take the time to reply.

I think that it's awesome the way that Steve is always moving forward and trying to fix newer devices and being willing to learn as he goes.

Hello Steve I‘m from Germany. I love to watch your videos. Please never ever stop to repair things and do so great videos. Best wishes.

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 :)

Im gonna guess at the original owner didn’t even get the case off, which with how that T8 looked is a good job haha!

8:23 wig removed 8:58 wig refitted The perfect amount of hairpiece adhesive...😉

Man, i really want a neighbor like him in the next door.

When you realise that the only moving part in the XSS is the fan.

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.

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.

you'd think that it would be impossible to break a Series S unless if you intentionally meant to break it, but alas, here we are

" *sigh* That's not how I wanted that to go, but oh well". Gave me a good laugh. Extremely relatable. ...good lord, is that relatable.

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!

You truly are the master of making variable length connectors and promo hair cuts work

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! 😀

I love the look of that console.

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).

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!

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! 🤛

So shaving the cable shroud makes your connector look bigger...........this video brought to you by Manscaped :P

Got to love how you can literally use a part from 20 years ago into something today and it still works

I'm so amazed by your skills. I would love to learn everything you do.

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!

Another great video, I love repair videos and people like yourself and Louis Rossmann that work hard to help those who appreciate the craft.

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.

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.

This video is the perfect representation of the word "resourceful", you just fixed something that was not supposed to be fixable yet. Excellent!!

Im so happy that an Original Xbox One HDMI Port worked in the Xbox Series S, That makes me feel better with my 8 year old original Xbox One :D

Northridge fix has the correct hdmi ports in stock. Nice job getting it back up and running.

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

Maybe you should have a talk with Louis Rossmann about his right to repair work 🙂

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.

It's amazing how easy it seems to open and repair this console.

I love the little Spyderco!

Watched your max videos, Only man in the world extra extra happy with the perfect amount of thermal paste 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love my series S. Interesting to see the internals and a repair on one.

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 ;)

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.

Wow what a way to make good use of old part, kudos to you TronicFix!

My Series S has that weird electrical smell that's fairly common in new electronics. It's not overheating but if I put my nose close to the black circle vent I can smell it and feel the warm air

Dude! You are awesome! Each episode is compelling.

The amount of thermal paste was perfect!

Great job Steve! First successful fix of the new Xbox Series S!! World record right there.

9:06 I felt like I was who repaired the Xbox SS. Excellent video, as always

Jesus, you worked it so well it's actually incredible. Great job Steve!

08:23 that is one hell of fast haircut you got there mate!

I just cleaned my ps5 today and all my consoles are immaculate. Please respect and look after your expensive gadgets. You don't realise how lucky you are.

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

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.

Keep fixing everything you can! It's time we stick it to companies HARD! Well done!

You should really do a video with the retro future. My two favorite repair channels

Use a piece of rubber in the head of the stripped screw to fill the voids a give grip. Helps a lot.

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.

If you want to remove a nearly-but-not-quite-stripped screw easier, just put a wide, thin elastic band over the hole and push the screwdriver tip in over top of the rubber.

I'm not a professional, but channels like yours have gotten me to repair countless phones, game consoles, and even appliances.

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...

Wow this was very cool to watch, keep it up with the new Xbox console repair videos! Would love to see more/ different repairs!

You should make a custom 1 inch M to F HDMI adapter to ever so slightly extend the port accessibility. That way you could still use any cable and not have to shave it down.

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. :)

Great vid it’s really cool to see all the mother boards and parts that go into different things

0:28 when you don't have a torx screw driver set but still think you have the ability to repair the console(whoever opened it before you)

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!

I had no clue a port from another console that’s not exactly the same would work! Wow!

I enjoy your videos man, keep it up, I also try to fix my electronic devices, it doesn't always go good but when it does that feeling is incredible

I love the way sponsor segment is from future Steve.

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!

I've watched enough of this guys videos, finally got subscribed,idk why I do this lol

Hey Steve great as always i see nothing wrong with the pins when you were putting on the hdmi port

Your videos are kind of relaxing 😆

Steve nice video always entertaining watching you fix the console Keep up the work

Steve, could you speak a bit more about your working bench, the working matt and what lightning you use? Thanks!

If you want to sell the console, you may want to create a small 2” HDMI extension dongle that will fit or perhaps look outside of the consoles for possible replacement ports like televisions.

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.

Dude you deserve a million subs

Measure the HDMI port and scour around a few sellers to see if they can find any that length.

HDMI extender before you put the case on would work, the HDMI would poke out of the back but its not perfect either way :)

I love these videos and seeing if you can fix it

Love these videos Steve, keep going!

The amount of extra work you have to do just because the manufacturers doesn't provide spare parts... Crazy.

I feel like Steve should try to repair vr headsets. It’s probably rare to find a broken one but Steve does the impossible sometimes.

That was super impressive! Nicely done! 👏🏻

Nice work man, you are good fixing things

Awesome video as always. I think you may find some HDMI cable where the head is a little bit longer than normal.

hey Steve, are you aware of the gofundme Louis Rossmann is working on right now to pass right to repair on electronics through direct ballot? I'm sure there's some audience crossover but it would be great if you give it a shout out

Great job as always 👍. I would watch a future video of this when the correct parts become available

I love watching these videos, even though I have no clue what you are talking about. Also are you selling the items you fix?

You removed the perfect amount of HDMI cable.

Bro your videos are awesome, as an xbox fan this is an amazing and great fix thanks.

To "sacrifiece" a cheap HDMI cable isnt a big price I think. Well done man!

Awesome work. Love learning along with your vids

Even tough i dont do any of this these videos are still a banger to watch
