Xbox One X Left on The STOVE - Let's Fix It + Bonus Fix - I paid $75 for an Xbox One X Robot White edition that someone left on a stove. The initial problem was that the game console would overheat but I couldn't get it to even turn on. Once I got the console apart I discovered multiple issues that had to be fixed (none of which were caused by being left on a stove).
Plus I bought another broken Gears of War Xbox One X to see if I can use it along with one I tried to fix a while back to make one good unit.

I hate it when I accidentally leave my gaming console on the stove.

[@jonathanstaples5267]

Not gonna lie, I cried a single tear when I saw you apply that perfect amount of thermal paste

[@Tronicsfix]

Lol!

Thats weird to see stove/heat scars all over the base of the Xbox, but even weirder is to realize that all of that is to uncover the issues at the motherboard. The owner was such a monster 😢

[@TherealWinterpillow]

Dude probably couldn't fix it and placed it on the stove to damage it and mask that he had been in it.

[@justintietz4477]

@@TherealWinterpillow That is exactly my thoughts too!!!!

[@ksevio]

I wonder if he tried to reflow the solder by putting it on the stove? Typically you'd use an oven for that but maybe he didn't want to take for the oven to pre-heat

[@herrakaarme]

Haha, quite a theory, but it wouldn't really surprise me even if it was true. Maybe the dude even asked strangers, somewhere in the bowels of the net, about how reflowing works, and some joker told him to do it like this.

[@shanez1215]

The cynical part of me thinks he did it just to make it look like that's the reason it's broken. No one is dumb enough to reflow it inside the case on a stove.

[@r32juan]

@@herrakaarme that would be quite an internet story lol

[@glw888]

@@herrakaarme That was seriously the way a lot of people temporarily fixed their old Xboxes. Go-to diy methods were oven or just running it with a towel over to totally block airflow.

[@XeonProductions]

I love how you troll the thermal paste perfectionists every single time. It's not perfect unless it's oozing out of the sides.

[@zaibbaloch100]

I love your videos, keep 'em coming with "The perfect amount of thermal paste".

[@Tronicsfix]

Thanks, will do!

[@ahmedsattar122]

Actually, you’re making things look much easier than it’s in real. You are a dedicated skilled person.

[@vikranttalari0000]

It just breaks my heart when I see such great consoles in such worse conditions

[@jeffclark5206]

You should replace the resistor with the proper value, its used for debouncing the button so it doesn't accidentally power on and then off or off and then on.

[@lookitskazzy]

Agree, I thought it was really weird that he threw on a 0 ohm resistor when he probably has a donor somewhere he can use, or simply take the known good resistor out of circuit, measure, then use the correct resistor.

[@oOWaschBaerOo]

i am confused, circled resistors usually are 0 ohms, means just bridges, why did you replace a resistor that wasnt a 0ohm resistor, with a 0hm bridge ?

[@gower1973]

Exactly he should of pulled it off the good board and measured it, obviously there for a reason, otherwise there would just be a trace there, He just jumper-ed it is like its not even there.

[@JayVBear45]

What I like the most about your videos is your honesty about your talents and abilities. Your integrity comes first which is emboldened by your vast experience and knowledge of your craft. Keep up the great work. Your videos are fun and refreshing.

[@jonathans.972]

Besides being repair videos, these let us delve into the macabre world of electronic device death where we can try to piece together how these peculiar "deaths" occurred. I'm excited to see what's next. Torn apart by lion or accidentally entombed in cement? Could be a spinoff series for you, lol. Amazing video as always.

[@andrewarmstrong5266]

Never get tired of these videos, and of course great job on the repairs

[@cherifmihoub1515]

Almost 1 Million Bro 👍 good luck, and thanks for all your videos these past years ✌

[@sebastianmarquez3014]

"Can't have overheating issues if I melt it on a stove aimrite?!!" lol! Well done Steve, now just find a unit that's been run over, thrown in a campfire, and digested by a bear! :P I bet you could bring it back to life

[@Tronicsfix]

I just received the PS5 that TechRax threw down a staircase so we'll see about that!

[@RavenZeroZX]

*4:00** that's the dreamcast logo. LOL* 😂

[@oblivious._]

I play around with stuff and try to fix it sometimes it's fun, but seeing you do it and explain why ahhhhh a man of sophistication.

[@kenfreeman8888]

That's a neat trick to use the disk to bypass the button board. I have found that a key to troubleshooting anything (including my life) is looking over separate parts to see if this works or that works, separately then together.

[@SavageBoricua]

Man this is what I love about tech, it all looks so complex but in the end it’s so satisfying when you fix them no matter how big or small the issue is, makes you feel useful 😂.

[@TheCod3r]

Great job once again Steve and a couple of great buys. I have the one x robot white myself, it's a beautiful machine, it looks super elegant

Hey man. I'm a software engineer and I love your videos man. Interesting seeing the deep dive of hardware :D I've done a little bit of hardware work, but not on the level you do man. You're almost going to make me start a side hustle where I just do hardware repairs XP

I'm tempted to put a 1TB SSD on my One X, it seems so easy to do it by watching you do this repairs. I would love to see PS3 (the first big ones) repairs on your channel too

[@JuicyJakeRepairs]

interesting to replace the resistor with a 0R, not that its a critical circuit or anything. Great repair!

[@SwareJonge]

About the resistor that was missing: considering you had a working board why not measure the resistance of the working board and order a new resistor? You now replaced it with a 0 ohm resistor which I believe is the same as a direct connection

[@jensmaa]

That's what the pros call a botch

[@Scyllinice]

So I have to ask: What causes these capacitors to go missing? Are people throwing their machines around or something? Or is it from someone trying to fix it without knowing what they are doing?

[@riparaggi]

It's common when the owner (or his friend "technician") uses automotive tools on the motherboard. The flying screwdriver removing the "X" clamp is a classic ;-)

[@RAMBOLOGY]

It's wonderful seeing all these consoles get a second chance.

[@FusselCNC]

If you like this type of video you'll probably like this Xbox Series X DIY Repair Fail video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJC2XoB6qJKLhbc I've seen a few comments about me replacing that 0 ohm resistor. I somehow didn't mention it on camera but I replaced it with another 0 ohm resistor. It just didn't have the 0 marking on it.

[@DigitalYojimbo]

Did you fix the special edition case or did you have a replacement?

[@Nogarda_]

Xbox One Masterchef Edition. I obviously have no idea, but if it wasn't already being repaired (badly) I question if the heat from the stove caused some of those problems like the clamp coming off as heat expands metal. But if it was that hot, I'm sure there would have been more melted resistors.

[@Tronicsfix]

Hmmmm...hadn't thought of that. That's possible

[@hamed_hamedi.7751]

awesome dude
