One of My Viewers Got Ripped Off! Let's Try to Fix it! Viewer Ken sent his XBox One X to a local repair shop who said they could fix it... but they couldn't. When I tested the Xbox it powered on but there was no signal. It looks like the repair shop did a poor job replacing the HDMI port but fixing that wasn't enough to get it working again. Still a few more things to try to get it working.

Whatever "repair" shop they sent it to was incompetent. 1) Leaving tape on. 2) Taking parts (pads, screws) off and not only not putting them back on, but not even giving them back to the customer. 3) The most amateurish solder job I've ever seen...I'm not that great at soldering, and I can do better than that. 4) Leaving a mess of old flux and not even attempting to clean it up with alcohol.

People that have never done electronics soldering have no idea the hours and hours of practice it takes to plop a chip down and line it up that fast. I salute your skill good sir and I am a tiny bit jealous of it. I spent years diagnosing and repairing crypto mining ASIC boards where the fix 99% of the time was to narrow down and replace the bad chip. I am glad I no longer have to do that, it can be frustrating work at times
