I Bought the First BROKEN Xbox Series X on eBay - Can I Fix It?

I Bought the First BROKEN Xbox Series X - Can I Fix It? I bought an Xbox Series X (from eBay) that the owner said wouldn't turn on. And it didn't. I eventually narrowed the problem down to the power supply which I took apart to test (DON'T try this at home!)

Great video as always! For the PSU, I do also think the problem is on the voltage regulators as you pointed out. You could also check voltage on the output of the transformer or full bridge rectifier, it might help narrow the problem down.

[@bitrot42]

Great video! Nice to get a look at the innards of the new console. The 'goop' in the power supply is a silicone epoxy (original brand name was "Silastic"), which is commonly used to prevent vibration from working things loose. I suppose it might also serve to reduce coil whine, since it would tend to keep components from moving in response to magnetic field changes.

nastystang113 There shouldn’t be a minimum wage. Let a free market handle decide what the wage should be. It’s better to let people decide for themselves if the wage is enough to apply for the job. If I’m looking for a new job I’m going to be looking at the wage first and foremost. I would hope everyone does the same. In Florida $15/hr was just passed but it doesn’t start for a couple of months and we have already seen multiple stores get rid of every single cashier and go 100% self check out. I’m not exaggerating either. Nearly every single cashier was let go except a few to be the self check out supervisor. Now all of those jobs have been removed from the job market instead of letting people decide if it was enough money. If the company doesn’t have any workers they will be forced to pay more. I’d rather see something done about inflation. Unfortunately it looks like the job market is going to be pretty bleak for the next four years.

From my 7 years of electronics manufacturing, RTV silicone is used for part stability. So parts that could move around or be affected by vibration from a motor will get RTV placed near it or around it to a bigger more stable part. RTV is also used for things like a cluster of caps as it goes through a wave solder machine so they don't move out of the board while going over the solder pot.

It's one console. You can't extrapolate anything about faulty hardware or failure rate from a solitary instance.

@@RaspberryBang Thats why i said that it "could become" a common issue, as in it doesn't have to but maybe there is a possibility that we will see more Xbox Series X with the same issue.

Probably was someone plugging it into a dirty power source. You shouldn't really plug a game console into the same line as a refrigerator or dryer. Recommend getting a sine wave filtered UPS for your electronics if you really care about them. It would also protect them if a transformer in your neighborhood blows or transients go through your line. Dirty power is also more common in older buildings and buildings with tons of appliances like apartments. Just in general, highly recommend a UPS for your expensive electronics. It will even protect them when the power goes out.

The hardware's so damn sleek. Really love the modular design of it, especially as an SFFPC fan.

[@BigSkylar]

This is why I wait several months after new hardware comes out I did that with the Switch got one at the end of 2017 and have had no issues at all.

[@alcortinovis]

I can't understand why not to send the consolle back to the shop when they realized the failure ....don't they know about the warranty? You are amazing man! you can fix everything!

ebay seller probably bought it from a scalper

I would recommend starting from the output of the power supply and working my way through the IC chips checking for shorts between input/output and ground.

[@mayorpajamas4812]

How about try to see with a thermal camera? The broken components do generally get warmer.

[@brianoconnell6459]

I wonder how many of these are "accidentally" broken by reverse engineering attempts.

9:16 - Looks like there's probably a bridge rectifier just above where your finger is there. It will be bolted to the first heatsink. Next to that (on the same heatsink) is likely the main switching transistor. If the bridge rectifier is working, you should be seeing around 170V DC across the largest capacitor (assuming 120V AC mains in the US), so that would rule that out. The switching transistor does a lot of heavy lifting in most switched-mode power supplies, so I would normally check that for an open circuit. If either of those two were shorted, it would have popped the fuse. The two components at 9:22 are very likely some (single or dual) rectifier diodes in each package. You can see at 9:26 how they are connected directly to the secondary windings of the transformer. So those will be for producing the 12V DC outputs. (it's unlikely they are linear voltage regs in something like this which dissipates a ton of power. It seems to have full feedback via the optocouplers on the underside anyway, so I'm fairly sure those are chunky diodes.) I suspect both of those diodes work in tandem, each one handling half of the waveform as the transformer pulses. That way, they can share the current between the two diodes. 9:20 - it looks like theres a smalller auxilliary power supply on the vertical board next to the power wire outputs. (I thought that smaller might be for the +12V2 output on the shorter black and grey wires, but it looks like those wires are just in parallel with the main 12V output.) If that is a smaller PSU, then it's likely for the Standby supply, I'm just not sure if that's also 12V or maybe 5V? One of the wires on the grey ribbon probably controls one of the optocouplers, to turn the main PSU on (soft power-on). Maybe it's just the smaller standby PSU that's failed? (if that is actually a PSU. It might just be some extra filtering or control stuff). This is SO much harder to diag from a video alone. lol

Yes... That circuit glue can become conductive also💯
