I Paid $75 for a BROKEN Xbox One X from eBay - Let's Try To Fix It! The Xbox One X didn't have any power and it turned out the ribbon cable for the power button was messed up. But that wasn't the only problem. There also was no display once I got the Xbox to turn on. I replaced the redriver chip and that fixed the display issue... but there was still another problem: an E106 error.

Sure, some of those stuff was Chinese knockoffs, but most were genuine, and half of those were from a heavy smoker's home, and there were some battery covers missing... but aside from some corroded contacts in 3 Wiimotes everything just worked perfectly and even read the disk, left inside one of the consoles!

If you are still having this issue I just fixed mine. I removed the hdd from the xbox and hooked it up to my pc. Accessed the system update 1 partition and deleted all the files and reinstalled the hdd. Then took a flash drive (any drive over 8gb will work) and formatted that to NTFS and extracted OSU1 to it and inserted it into the USB port on the xbox. Booting the xbox by holding for 15 seconds, the bind button on the side and the eject button and pressing the power button. The console then fully went through with the system update. Afterwards i just had to redo the initial setup but all my games and saves were still there. Hope this helps someone else.

Your solution works usualy with e101, e102 or others. E100 mostly is last error code you will see on your console. I had same situation with e100 and it was unfixable.

[@Lockieez]

They might have their Xbox in 'instant on' mode rather than 'power saving', so don't actually do a full system reboot which would fix the problem. So they just assume that it's broken.

[@TheCod3r]

Great video Steve as always. One thing which might point you to the issue is either checking the log files on a computer or you can look at the percentage of the update. If the update fails at 72% you for sure have a disc drive issue, maybe a mismatch, faulty drive or Microsoft arm ic failure. 58%-59% is usually a hard drive formatting or partitioning issue, 1% is a software version mismatch and 0% is pure hard drive error. Thats based on my experience with these at least. Hopefully you revisit this issue in the future because it definitely isn't the disc drive at fault. Also, check the mosfets around the hdd power connector and the hdd sata cable itself :)

[@TheCod3r]

Also these things can be funny and it might just randomly not like that one hard drive lol

@@Tronicsfix That and prices at the moment are f***ed up. Half a year or nine months ago I could get 120 to 150 Euros for a fixed PS4 (depending on the model) and could get broken consoles for 50 (fat) to 80 Euros (pro). Last week I sold a console I bought for 30 Euros as Buy It Now (not as auction, sorry, I don't know how that feature is named in English) without any info about what was defective and decided that I wouldn't try to fix it (turned out to be a WLOD, I am just not good at SMD soldering and I have the Switch board with a fused on HDMI chip to prove it), it sold for over 120 Euros.

[@awilliams1701]

I remember when I bought my Commodore 64 back in 2019. Originally I just wanted the case and keyboard and I'd install a modern C64 replacement inside (which needs the case and keyboard but adds an HDMI port). The computer I got was listed as non functional as is which sounded good. The computer was filthy (I'm ok with that) But what I noticed is that the case looked like it was more or less in good condition as was the keyboard. So I bought it. Then I'm like.........oh crap what if it gets screwed in shipping! Well the person I bought it from on eBay did a FANTASTIC job with the packaging and even did his best to ensure the original box from the 1980's would arrive in good condition. Ultimately I decided to fix it up rather than replace the board. It works great, it looks great. After I cleaned it up, it looks PRISTINE! I'm so happy they did such a good job with getting it ready for shipping. I've seen so many videos on youtube where the guy gets it open and the C64 case is shattered from shipping. I wish I could have given them like a 2000% positive review for that alone. lol

[@virxest]

The end of the code was a bit different, but I got rid of my E100 by replacing the hard drive ... Xbox One X. I had to connect the new hard drive to the PC, make necessary partitions and put the OS on it. Offline update via USB drive and it works again.

[@ChrisAzure]

I had an Xbox One S stored because of error E106 and that error means that the update you are trying to install its older than the one on the NAND, that means the console you couldn't repair its on Insider Program (Mine was in Alpha Skip Ahead and took me like 3-4 months to finally have a higher version than the one in the NAND}. You can try again after the next update, also Microsoft upload the Offline Update files like a week after the update comes out. I got rid of the E100 error by formatting the HDD with HDD Low Level Format Tool and letting the console partition and format the drive by itself while offline updating.

[@iijumperi8711]

Ive seen near the end that you get the e100 while trying to update. Check the error log on the hdd out (you can connect the hdd to a pc). Most likely issue is that the update is not able to flash the disc drive. Try a normal sata pc cable and clean the sata connectors.

Those e100 codes you usually have to wait for a new update to roll out in order to fix an issue like that I had it happen on my old Xbox One fat that I upgraded the hard drive to an SSD in, It's fixable you just have to wait for a firmware update My guess is that It won't take the current firmware again so it throws and error, this usually happens when you mess around with the hard drive so it can be really scary dealing with it even when you're following the rules and directions on tutorials.

Due to obvious reasons I can't fit a BD drive into a portable device. I've seen plenty of PS4 mods where they put the motherboard into a PC case, but I'm not sure as to what they did with the BD drive ATM.

Kind of an enlightening video. Really hightlights what a gamble that kind of thing is. Like even if it was fixed the time money and effort put into swapping the HDMI chip puts you in the red.

You're always taking a chance when buying broken stuff from eBay

@@Tronicsfix Im curious how long it actually took you on that project total and then to clean flux, remove and seat in that HDMI chip? Even for a professional its 3 or so hours worth of work. lets say your average pay is low like $65 an hour. an Xbox one X is like $300. Its tough to justify that. Love the channel, I was just thinking this video was a really good example of like "hey do this as a hobby, do not go all in and not expect to get rich repairing electronics.". I do repairs for CRTs and old gaming stuff and it was a hard lesson for me how costly the hobby can be.

It can be a difficult business. The best way to make money would be to start a repair business where you fix for other people BUT you have to be extremely good before you should start trying to fix other people's stuff. That being said you can make it work just by buying, fixing and reselling...it's just more difficult. If you learn how to repair one system and you can fix almost any problem and do it quickly you can make it work.
