Trying to FIX a Faulty Xbox One S with E100 error code

Hi, this 'trying to fix' shows me attempting to repair a Xbox One S with a E100 error code. Previously Jamie (the owner) had reformatted the Hard Drive. Then an error code showed the Disc Drive was faulty so he replaced it. Then he got another error code so gave up on it.
Andrew Paul's video : • Replace / Upgrade XBOX...
Remember that this is just for entertainment and I am not an expert in these repairs. The processes in the video may not be the best way, the correct way or the safest way to fix these things.
I do love fault finding and trying to fix broken things so I hope that comes across in this 'Trying to FIX' series.
Many thanks, Vince.

Thank you mate. The fridge one was surprisingly watchable. When I have to watch the videos back after editing and processing them it can be painful as I know the outcome, and have already watched all the bits during editing. BUT for some reason that Fridge video was even enjoyable for me!!!!

You are absolutely brilliant. It was staring me in the face the entire time never wouldve thought using a 01b instead of the original 03b DVD would hinder the xbox so much. You just saved the few remaining hairs in my head.

[@ericsfishingadventures4433]

Wow a you tuber that admits they make money on thier videos and only 1 ad for a 30+ minute video!? I fuckin love this guy and will keep following! Very informative and entertaining. Thanks my mate!

[@JTHelectronics]

this helped me immensely, thank you. I went through the same exact troubleshooting process you did - I ended up reconditioning the old drive by cleaning the intake roller with rubbing alcohol and applying some white lithium grease to the exposed plastic cogs and didn't even have to do a bd drive daughterboard swap. Upon closer inspection of the replacement drive that was causing the error i noticed it was a different model, DG-6M2S-XXX (dated 2015) instead of the original DG-6M1S-XXX dated 2014, hope this helps someone as i suspect MAYBE replacing a dead drive with the same exact drive model would avoid this issue. anyway thank you so much for making this video, i was pulling my hair out - at least i learned how to format a new xbox hdd and got a 500gb spare and an extra disc drive in the process

[@dazboy7666]

Hi Vince, The way you try and fix things is exactly how I started. I never believe anything is unfix able with a little patience and good old google generally sorts it out. Yes your right about the bluray drive, it has a key thats locked to that motherboard, if they dont match then you get the errors you see. A quick swap of the board would of sorted it, but am glad you went a different direction at first as that is part of the problem solving routine for us amateurs. Anyway Im a big fan of your series and always watch the guides. Good luck in the future from Daz

[@Mymatevince]

Thanks for the nice comments and advice Daz. Cheers :-)

[@3DPewPew]

Badass bro,, you totally got me wanting to start working on these myself...did my first controller mod, hard drive swap and shell swap yesterday day and have a new hobby im about to dive into..thx alot for your video man

[@markcash3852]

Hello vince, So today I turned my xbox on and the error e100 happened! Stuck on 58% something went wrong! I went to a local computer shop twice to purchase USB stick 64gb and external hard drive caddy! I tried the offline update method with no joy. So with that matter I had to remove hard drive as I gained access to the inside the sata cable from Blue Ray disc drive to the main motherboard was actually disconnected. Dont know how as my xbox hadn't moved but I reconnected the cable in hope it would fix the problem as you said on this video to check all connections. I put the xbox back together turned it on with the troubleshooter and reinstalled the offline update! It passes the58% stage and it's now currently up and running. Thank you vince and to everyone else who gets this problem in the future and willing to open your xbox check the connections before purchasing a new hard drive/console

[@MrKanejoe1]

Another great video @My Mate Vince! I appreciate your methodical way of troubleshooting issues. I have also attempted Sega Game Gear repairs and so far I'm about 50% successful. It seems like the LCDs have their own issue unfortunately. I'm going to try transplanting an LCD from a bad board to a good board. You are my inspiration!

[@GadgetUK164]

Glad you got it up and running! The problem with these modern systems is (for security reasons) the drive has a signature - an ID that the XBOX has stored in its flash ROM also, and when updating etc it checks the drive to make sure it has the same signature as the XBOX expects. If the signature is different they won't allow an update because you could be using some hacked drive or drive replacement solution. It's a little bonkers tbh because with the right level of hacking any replacement drive could be made to present the correct (original) signature, but I guess its a lot of work to hack these. Same thing was true of the 360 I believe.

[@EllisPerhaps]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this also applies to the OG Xbox as well. I found that out the hard way...

[@squat224]

it not only was the case with the 360 but your hypothetical of hacking them to work regardless was also the case.

[@GadgetUK164]

Yes, I know regards the 360 - I was one of the people looking at the 8051 firmware when they first started looking at the 360 DVD. In theory the same thing is probably possible on the XB1 drives, but they will have beefed up the security since the 360. Maybe the XB1 drives have already been hacked - no idea!

[@wormchickenwizard]

@@EllisPerhaps Actually it doesn't apply to the OG Xbox. Instead, the Hard drive is the one tied to the console but it can be easily replaced with modding tools

[@EllisPerhaps]

great video. couldnt find anything informative and randomly spotted this video. good to know i too need another hard drive

[@GhostRider247]

I had this on the old 360 , there is a key on the firmware of the cdrom, you could copy it over to the new drive from a pc , but it had to be a certain chipset on the pc motherboard can't remember which one now that long ago , don't know if the newer ones are the same but judging by the fix it is still the case ... great job Vince !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great video! I had the same problem. I unplugged my drive while it was applying the update, then plugged it back in and it worked. I did not use my console for a whole semester so I thought the update messed with it but I believe that the Xbox checks the hardware when updating

[@mayflowwy]

like you unplugged it when it was off? or just randomly during the update

[@gamer-zm1cl]

[@AdamCieslikOfficial]

Hi I just want to say big thank you mate. You have helped me to fix my console the original xbox one. My solution for error e100 00000703 80910006 was to plug only disk board(cause I had few lol) to the console of course being very careful to not short anything and then I switched console back on. I have been surprised because it started from the point where it stoped so about 60 procent and finalize the update process. I fixed few consoles in the past and had few disk boards so by my mistake I put wrong one inside lol. Hope this will help to anyone. Your video is regarding wee bit different error code but it looks like there is connection and might help others too. Take care

At the end, when you couldn't use the controller to turn off the console at the beginning of the initial setup, wouldn't just pressing the power button once turn it off nicely as well? (As opposed to holding the power, forcing a shut down). Great job on fixing another piece of hardware!

Hay vince great vids good work, can you tell me please where I can get that blue mat your working on cheers buddy 👍🏼

[@mikeuk7857]

great video keep up the good work one thing i'm curious about is that the Xbox one S is close to £400 new or more in some places but there still using a standard mechanical 5400rpm or 7200rpm 2.5" hard drive surely for that price they could fit a 500GB ssd instead as that would stop this issue from happening in the future also it would improve speed,reliability and load times.

[@chrcoluk]

I worked out what the issue was as soon as you said he swapped the optical drive, microsoft have for a decade or more tied their optical drives to the board for anti tampering. Did he ever explain to why he brought a new optical drive and swapped it?

[@skidpins669]

You can run an Xbox without the CD ROM, But you will need it for system updates or you get the E100 error code. Love the vids 👍

hi Vince... you mentioned you didn't want people sending you stuff in to fix because you didn't want to let them down if you couldn't fix it... but what if people wanted to send you things to fix like as in a donation... freely ... if you will... without asking for it back fixed or not... to do with it what you like? maybe you could fix things... cover you're costs and donate them to kids/people that are not well off...? just an idea. good video again.

I bought my second 360 from ebay, it was giving an error and was 30$ because the seller just gave up. A quick google search later provided a failed update error code was the problem, after buying it and applying the update, voila! All it takes is a little time and effort sometimes. And yeah, even the 360 won't be happy if you swap drives all willy nilly. It's got a key in the drive that has to match up to the system's record. It's important to search error codes, as it's there for helping you find out what went wrong!

[@Pancreaticdefect]

I knew right away what the problem with the error during update was because the PS3 is the exact same way. It will error out during update without the exact, correct optical drive installed since they are married to the motherboard.

[@crazylegs1324]

@12345 12345 nope.

[@crazylegs1324]

Not unless you get a new drive and swap out the motherboard in the drive for the one paired with your motherboard.

[@StahLValix]

Been dealing with this problem for the past year. If anyone sees this, I finally figured out a fix for myself. May not work for everyone. Take your console apart, unplug the hdd and disk drive. (Clean her real good if it needs it.) plug everything back in and bam. No more update loop. Granted I have a feeling I will need to do this every time it throws the code.

I know this is a super old video but I had this exact issue a few weeks back while learning how to repair Xbox One X's. I swapped disc drives without swapping the internal board of the drives and every time I ran the offline updater it failed as E100. Once I swapped the daughterboards of the disc drives everything worked fine. E100 usually applies to hardware issues in my experience.
