Xbox Series X Repair Shop Ripoff - Extended Version

Xbox Series X Repair Shop Ripoff - Extended Version - The seller of this Xbox Series X said that they took it to a repair shop and paid a total of $400 only for it to be broken again after a month. I’m curious to see what’s wrong with it and if I can get this Xbox working again. Let’s get into it!

£400 wow. I just done a HDMI port for some one at work on his Xbox...i never charged anything...i even bought the HDMI port for him :) i did feel abit sorry for him :) And thats all because i love watching these videos...taught me lots :) Many thanks and look forwrd to many many more.

soldering flux left on the board doesnt cause any problem immediately, but over the time flux will etch and corrode the unprotected copper traces and pads... have seen that many times, so always clean the flux off the pcb after soldering and protect traces with pcb mask...

@23:05 :( The angelic heralding of the application for the perfect amount of thermal paste was not to be seen... I am renting my clothes and gnashing my teeth.
You are awfully nice when referencing other shops and refrain from slaughtering them for their obviously faulty repairs, that is one thing more I love about your repair channel.

[danielhulan]

But that thermal paste application is a sign of the quality of work that business does. Pitiful.

[jxdfm]

That amount of thermal paste looks like a hidden "Screw you" from the repairman 🤣

[wjadams]

I don't think I've ever seen someone use the entire tube of thermal paste to put something back together and not clean it in the first place. Usually it's not done at all. That takes a special someone to go through that kind of effort.

$400 FOR A REPAIR?! What a mark! Just buy a new one jeeze.

How do people break their HDMI ports had my xbox series x since day one release and the port is still like new...

[ErvTV]

My guess is the pin was broken, and the technician didn’t wanna replace the whole port. So he lined the pin back up, and blob the crap out of it with solder.

Are these people playing their xbox?In the back of their bicycle

[nickmagnan]

Really wish you could call out these shady repair shops without fear of being sued for defamation. Instances like this one are the real reason why I refuse to go to any repair shop

[MorDreadful]

I set my hot air station at 7000 degree F and air flow at force 12 (hurricane), guarranteed to lift something off. Works everytime, now I just need to replace my roof, again.

[TomPoco]

This is some of the most egregious stuff I have seen on here yet. Amateurs. Great job Steve!

How is you treatment progressing. Wish you the best. Iam retired Navy. I was certified as a micro-miniature repair tech for multilayered boards in the early to mid-1980's. Kester flux was the goto, soder wick, for clean up I used medicinal grade pure grain alcohol. Leaves no residue and drys very quickly. Wish I had the opportunity to use the air station equipment with the precise temperature control that you have with them. Still alive at seventy-five, thanks for your entertaining videos.

[RalphVB]

I can't believe the $400. Prices are disussed beforehand and during any sort of repair or work. Costumer needs to acknowledge and agree before proceeding. No one in their right mind will say ok fix it for that price, or agree to make any sorts of payments based on what a technician claimed he have done without consulting with you. I smell bs on this one. Still a solid repair as always Steve, love to see it.

[CaptSpeirsB]

This guy lost his argument as soon as he accepted paying cash with no receipt. So many red flags and he kept giving cash, no leg to stand on.

[craigachuff]

Cleaning that thermal paste mess is so tedious. Awesome job.

[jayjayuk-fx]

Whoever worked on that was partially sighted, and has the intellectual ability of a small Belgian pastry.

[mikeguest]

It would make so much sense for manufacturers to put interface ports on a user-swappable interface board. Then there's no need to take the thing apart if you bend a port -just buy and plug in a new board.

These more realistic long videos are great 👍🏻
