How to Fix XBOX Series X HDMI Port (HDMI Port Replacement) - UK

[@ScottEricInvestments]

Should have two hdmi ports to begin with

[@flawsome9058]

I 100% Agree or at least make it where I don’t have to take apart a rocket ship to get to the hdmi

Right here with you. Watched another one a month ago. Said….nah. Then took it to repair shop. They want $250-$300!! So a month later I’m like……maybe it wasn’t that bad and I’ll watch the video again. Now just typing as this dude does all kinds of things I can’t remotely figure out. He lost me at taking the back cover off.

I'm glad to hear that our video helped you to fix your xbox .

[@zachpilcher5620]

Thank you so much for your video. Luckily I do this kinda stuff for work. Looks pretty easy. What kind of material did you use for putting the hdmi port back on?? Nvm found in previous comments. Thank you again.

[@billd7081]

I noticed you didn't show what thermal paste you used before buttoning up the xbox heat sink, i know you didnt just reuse the existing paste. Did you use Artic silver or another brand? i think you should include that step, it may seem like common sense but to a noob its going to get missed. Great job on the soldering! those small pins are a pita!

[@xFixRepairsUK]

We use ARCTIC MX-4 for XBOXs

[@lorenacortez159]

As a person that ain’t gonna pay no 150 ima do ts myself

[@reacey]

Ive just done this..dont be fooled by how easy the port is to get off in the vid .theres glue under the port and also the port is soldered underneath..its a pain in the ass to get off. I had the hot air on it for ages and it wasnt moving .I ended up having to heat the port from above and gently prize it off at the back using the two little metal lugs for leverage and crack the glue joint and only then did it begin to move ..keep the heat on the hdmi pins from above while prying the port off to keep the solder there melted so when the port comes pff you dont pull the traces off the board . Also after you get the port off, the solder is very difficult to remove from the 4 holes that hold the port on. You have to use good wick and plenty of flux and hot air at the same time as wicking /using a solder sucker to clear the holes out. It took me longer to get the port off and clear the holes out properly than it did to take the console to bits and put it back together. All worked perfect after but I wont be doing another one anytime soon 😂

[@xFixRepairsUK]

Your explanation was very clear and easy to understand. Well done!

[@reacey]

@@xFixRepairsUK thanks. Thankyou for your video, it helped alot when it came to dismantling and putting it back together

[@yeetyeet6859]

At this point I feel the quality of Xbox has gone down this never used to happen

[@izakomandaz2895]

No this does happen to other xboxes too. In fact it's one of the most common repairs. The hdmi ports have always been the weak point.

[@ralfsanchez7504]

I bought an hdmi port thinking itd be relatively simple to replace . Now im thinking its time to send her in 😢

[@DuckyTV_]

What did he use to removal the hdmi port? The liquid he used to take it off, also what he used after to put it back on

[@xFixRepairsUK]

@@DuckyTV_ we used a heat gun for desoldering and that liquid is solder flux.

Can you tell me what temp you have your heat gun at to remove the hdmi port? And what size nozzle you have on your heat gun?

Ok so I was looking at a used series x and it’s like 250 but it hdmi port is broke should I get it and have it repaired or just save up and buy a new one

Why did you not use solder wic for cleaning old pads And wHy did you not check each pin after the job Would really suck to have to take apart again 😅

I know this is a little unrelated but, I brought my Xbox series x a few months ago, got it second hand and was told the store had only replaced the HDMI port, when I eventually got a series X game the Xbox shut off a few moments after opening it saying it had overheated, I’m fairly certain it didn’t overheat because Apex legends for series S/X would shut the console off before it even got into the actual game, does anyone have any suggestions or ideas ?

It needs a new thermal paste. Probably they forgot to apply the new thermal paste when they fixed it.
