This Dusty Old XBOX ONE Has NO POWER | Trying To FIX

Dust anyone? This XBox One doesn't power on at all. The power brick has an orange light that turns white for a second and then turns off. The console does nothing!

Will I be able to repair it, or is it too far gone?

Hope you enjoy!
Steve

PS. I'm not an expert in repairs at all. I do this for fun, and it may not be the best or safest way to go about repairing broken stuff. I'm pretty good at melting plastic though. Please don't copy me - I'm an idiot.

As I wrote before: I truly enjoy you showing tries that don't work out as well. Great job anyway!

Great effort Steve. This board definitely has an internal short. The layer directly below the source for the mosfet is a ground layer so that will be fused together. If you still have it I'd be happy to see if there's anything I can do for it

Instantly subscribed because you seem like an awesome guy. Plus I like repair videos, can't wait to watch more 😁

The subscribe thing in this video said he had 3k subscribers at the time. He is now closing in on 100k as of writing this.

Good job Steve, it’s a great channel.

I'd walk away from that as well. I think your conclusion is spot on.

[DragoBlu]

To remove the short first confirm that there is not another component (cap or mosfet) shorted. if you do some voltage injection and use thermal imager you can determine the source of the short. also i would clean all the dust and make a visual inspection it could well unveil some burn marks or discolored component. Tedious work i know, but it can reward you with great satisfaction. goodluck Steve

Dust-tastic! I was coughing just RIP. Cheers man!

[pedromimoso]

Nice work, Steve! The carpet you pulled out of the dust box (lol) is amazing! I think that even the employee of big boss couldn't fix that mess. I would be very surprised if anyone could put it back in working order. Anyway, it was a good video just to see your disgusted face while pulling out that knitted wonder. 😂😂😂

[ArreglandoCosas]

I totally agree with your conclusion Steve by the looks of that board, but maybe injecting 1 volt on that MOSFET to see if the board gets hot could be a nice add on. Excellent vid as usual keep the great work!

The good news is you can still put your coffee on it. The bad news is when you SPILLED your coffee IN it, your ruined the Xbox.

Didn’t know I’d find motherboard repair relaxing like this😌 I think it’s time for a nap

[alexarnold]

Excellent effort, Bro. I absolutely love watching your videos. I wish I was as savvy as you with micro components. Keep up the excellent work and please keep the informative videos going.

Thanks for trying man, was awesome to see your working inside

[thatbillguy]

I must say it's really nice that you also post a video Even when it doesn't go completely to plan ie you probably thought you could repair it even though it turned out you couldn't you remind me a little bit of the 8-bit guy in that regard!

[SixtyDoesStuff]

What on EARTH happened? Struck by lightning? Or is it just a REALLY bad MOSFET? Wild.

[stuartmcphillie]

Love a Stez vid. I see a Dyson/ Microsoft collaboration right there.

[chris-pike]

Wow that xbox was just gross and caked in dust and your face said it all Steve ! and seeing how badly damaged it was must have been a nightmare 😳

[dazisback]

Love the way someone used it as a coaster to put brews on, another great video Ste and Dave, keep up the great work lads ;-)
