Repair Shop XSX LONG - The seller of this Xbox Series X said they were ripped off by the repair company they sent it to, and in this video I'm going to try to fix it. The HDMI port will need some repairs, and we will have to replace the Retimer chip. If we get lucky this might be an easy fix!

Hello, been watching you since forever, been doing this as a hobby now too off and on when I need stuff, so far fixed two joycons one with drift one with a faulty bumper button fixed a few xbox one controllers with broken buttons and sticks and I fixed a dead xbox one x, a steamdeck I'm loving it. Been really getting into it. Thanks dude.

Most repair shops don't like fixing HDMI ports. My local shop does not do them. They claim that it cannot be done because it will cause the board to be overheated.

@brucepreston3927 11 күн бұрын

It's because they are inexperienced and don't want to destroy peoples consoles...There are too many "repair shops" that claim to be able to fix them and then end up mangled HDMI ports...I would rather them just say they don't work on that part

@JRChuxx 11 күн бұрын

@TronicsFixLongs 10 күн бұрын

That just means that they don't do know how to do them and don't want to learn. It's 100% safe to replace HDMI ports on these boards if you know what you're doing. On top of that this repair is quite profitable. You could probably run a good profitable business just replacing HDMI ports.

Why’d they go through that much work to fix those traces, just to not have the joints soldered to the board correctly, which they could have done much easier than the traces being fixed? And then allegedly steal a part off of it?

@christianbustillos4066 6 күн бұрын

I went through a similar situation, the shop basically used my Xbox for parts. They replaced the power supply for a bad one, it was missing the wifi/bluetooth card, it was a different black housing for the entire system chassis. It only needed the power & eject ribbon cable replaced and they tried to screw me over. I took it back and told him to replace it with good working console and he agreed to his mistakes.

I’m on the side of that sellers story, shady repair shop charged them a no fix fee, stole his retimer and probably said “you sent it to us broken anyway why would we put it back” happens all the time.

@scottjarnagin348 10 күн бұрын

They said it was unfixable because they stole the chip and didn't think he'd notice and cut his loses.

@alphanerd2305 10 күн бұрын

Yeah, this would be a no fix in my shop as I don't have sufficient experience in re-laying traces. But unlike the shop this guy took it to, I have a no fix no charge policy.

@me0262 7 күн бұрын

From the previous owner's description (expedited fee, declared unfixable) and the repair shop's work, it almost looks like this was a NorthridgeFix job. But why they would take the retimer chip, I don't know.

There's plenty of things I have the skills to do but would still rather pay a shop to do for me so I can spend my time doing something else. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the seller's story.

@Violaetor 7 күн бұрын

@mjc0961 are you missing the part where the seller still did the repair themselves after the initial failed shop repair... but still didn't repair it, despite initiating a repairing themselves.. so sent it out again. That's the problem with the story, not the idea of paying someone to free up your own time. I'm sure that's how you free up your time; Have someone cut your grass poorly, then go out and re-cut it yourself, but only 99% of it, then hire a new company to come back and cut it again to finish that last bit of grass that you decided you wouldn't because you wanted to do something else with that last 20 seconds.
