We may, if you just occasionally respond to compliment. Two way thing mate. I understand you are VERY busy, but allocate 10 mins for some interaction.

why is it so common on the xbox one x to have a failed ic and not hdmi ports like ps4s and other consoles when theres no displays cos it seems like xbox makes very good hdmi ports but not ic

[@TheHazarduz]

"This one has a screw loose, just like me". I actually laughed out loud at that one.🤣👍🏻

[@Shagnasty1956]

My fave was “I don’t use it very often and it’s dried up”, can entirely relate to that.

[@danieldean2614]

Bless you mate I'm sure your parents are proud of you. You seem like such a lovely lad and you manage to be a cracking repair person and almost an ASMR you get me to sleep most nights haha 😂

Great Video! I always appreciate that you show mistakes as well. Honest Tech!! Thank You.

I was thinking of bidding on these but I’m glad I didn’t bother now Hahahahah absolutely fantastic video as always Phil mate keep up the great work

I do know that faulty disk drives can cause a no power issue. I had an XBOX 360 that wouldn’t power on. We pulled a disk out of it and it powered on.

[@hulkuk7590]

Awesome video phill

[@rodovanra6783]

I once scored a free laptop because the haddrive needed to be formatted, it was not even broken just a virus on it. Got the drive as a back up now and the laptop for well anything really. Some people toss away perfectly working computers with bad windows installs.

[@badboy-fj8ly]

Little tip for ya use the original lead that comes with each console I've had problems before just using one lead .pcs are fine on any hdmi lead .

[@REMEDY-REPAIRS]

Amazing vid bro I enjoy your content keep it up 💯👊🏾

[@xenonronin7789]

COD WW2 is a good traditional Call of Duty game. A decent campaign and great boots on the ground multiplayer.

[@northernmunkey1]

Great contents you have some made SKILLS. Do you know anybody who can upgrade an old iMac 2009 with an old operating system to the latest in your local area?

[@GGR3244]

Started laughing when you stuck the hdmi cable in the bottle of alcohol considering I've done the same thing before.

[@krzi-o5619]

I have seen so many Xbox consoles that have power button problems. And that’s why I never use the power button. I use my controller to power on my One X , Series S/X and my PS5. For that reason alone , because I don’t want power button issues. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️

[@RicardoGutierrez-xh1kn]

I'm an owner of an Xbox One X... It's scary to see a lot of Xbox One S and X with that Encoder chip problem, now i have to wait that my X have the same problem 😱😭

[@adamhitchen4314]

I like your videos your very honest about whether you fix thing or cannot fix it. That being said I've seen several videos where you state there's something wrong with your cable...is this a common thing? Are you buying cheap cables?..it seems that a repair guy should have functioning hardware especially something as easy as a cable..just saying. I only mention it because like I said I've watched several vids where this is a problem

[@karlgriff8]

cables dont last if hes repairing consoles all day plugging in and out all day they give up after a few months even the expensive ones are not designed for this use

[@hookedonlurefishing]

Most HDMI leads are connected once and left in place, they simply aren't designed for the rigours of plugging/ unplugging

[@craigbuchanan5346]

great work how long have you been doing this for

[@MellowVR24762]

I pmsl when you didn't connect the hard drive how many times have I done stuff like that haha

[@antoinedacosta9141]

Hi. I saw by your comment on the Uber Micro Repairs video that you know an affordable ESD IC replacement exists, do you plan to use it ? It should be interesting to see you come back on the last XBox that resists you.

[@philipford6183]

Trying to jam those game disks into the drives....ouch!

[@shaunmckay8550]

What is the issue with the esicd chip? Did Microsoft disconnected it?

[@GiveAcademy]

Hehe the robot white was originally no power. ;)

[@630nitronutter]

Where do you buy your hdmi encoder chips please ?

[@StreborKram]

Amazon doesn’t ban based on ip. Best to stick with the facts….

Thanks buddy I appreciate that 😁

[@FredBloggs919]

The connector ribbon for the front panel pair button is ridiculous- it goes round 90 degrees and is very tight/stressed. + finding that spare part is very difficult.

[@kikihun9726]

Can't you replace the hdmi esd and boost ic with others from STMicrocontrollers? Or give it a try?

[@kevinporter9415]

50 min video, 4 consoles and nearly bed time. We're in for the long haul dude 🤣

[@RestorationRelaxation]

The One X is kind of tempting to backwards compat mode. I wish the Series S had a disc drive since it’s more powerful than the One X

[@nightwatchmanita7092]

The GPU on the series s is technically less powerful then the one mounted on the one x .

Thought the 4k blu ray drive was paired to the motherboard and couldn’t be switched. Now I know I’m wrong! Trying to fix some blown caps next to the fan but so fan can only make the fan spin once then shuts down :/

[@markwhitfield5412]

that chip seems to be a weak spot, any reason for its failure, could it just get too hot over time? i cant understand it getting to hot as u have to heat the shit out of it to get it on the board.

Did you get an owon b35+?

Hi. How do you know when you solder chips with hot air i press them down and solder comes out the side, that you haven't shorted pins and square plate inside?

[@kikihun9726]

Flux and force. If you push down, it tries to come out in a buble form. Flux prevent solder to stick to everything.

I HAVE A QUESTION IF ANYBODY KNOWS!!! I WANT TO USE A USB SPLITTER ON MY XBOX ONE AND I WANT TO KNOW WILL IT WORK WITH 2 2TB HHD'S BUT ONE FORMATTED FOR GAME STORAGE AND ONE FOR MEDIA. PLS LMK

[@Darkstar301]

Hello I have a question for you I have a PlayStation 4 pro and it has power there is a Display screen I can see the Dashboard but the Dashboard starts lagging so I put the game in it starts up but as soon as it starts in story mode it freezes up I did boot up to safe mode did everything that the video I watched wanted me to do but I get the same response I was going to change out the hard drive but I really don’t want to unless I no that could be the cause of everything but I don’t no if that will work that’s why I’m asking you everything that’s I told you I don’t have A lot of money to just pick one up and it don’t work then I would be spending money I don’t have I hope you can understand what I’m trying to say because if that’s all I need kool I will pick one up otherwise if there’s more to it I might have a Dead system. I hope not but I did get it from Facebook store so Who knows

[@xxstanc3don3xxtwitch23]

Why does every xbox being xbox one and series consoles has dry thermal paste even the brand new ones are dry 🤔

[@GIacius]

I have no idea what Microsoft was thinking when they made the original Xbox one. That thing is huge as fk. . . . I know it's not in the video, just saying.

[@dak2]

Though amazon drfinitely needs to do a better job of controlling sellers that sell poor quality and knock offs from China if you've been flagged for excessive returns maybe you need to be a little more selective with who you buy from.
