Xbox One X No Signal HDMI Repair - Black Screen of Death

Xbox One X No Signal HDMI Repair - If you're not getting a signal with your Xbox One X two of the most common causes are either a bad hard drive or an HDMI problem. In this video I show you how to check both issues and how to repair an HDMI problem.

About This Video: There's no signal from this Xbox One X so I take it apart and first check that the hard drive is working correctly. When that doesn't fix the problem I continue taking it apart to get the motherboard out so I can check the various HDMI components. I then replace the main HDMI (retimer) chip and then put everything back together to see if it works!

probably by the looks of things, add flux, use hot air station to heat the chip. delicately wriggle it until it is loose. remove it and replace with the replacement. wriggle that into place nicely. add more flux and hot air and then you should be done.

[@ErikHendershot]

@TronicsFix, are you using an IR preheat plate under the board? I bought a replacement tip and have been holding hot air on the chip at about 800F and it will not come off. I think the heat is wicking away on the ground plane but wasn't sure if the components on the bottom side of the board would fall off.

Fantastic detailed video, what kind of glue did you use to loosen the timing chip and also put back? I am assuming that was a hot gun/hair dryer used with the soldering flux. Also how long did you have to keep the hir dryer on it to loosen the chip? I have taken the console apart, just like you explained in your video will wait to figure out the soldering flux part from your end. TIA

Hey dude. Great videos. Enjoy watching. I personally have this issue. 2TB SSD seemingly 'died' or there was simply no HDMI output. Changhed back to known working original 1TB Seagate HDD and still no output. Scary thing? The console has been used a handful of times since purchase. I won't have the skills to fix based on the miniature nature of the chip on the motherboard. Did you buy a replacement chip or source from another console?

[@carlstewart1963]

Thanks for the video, man. My wife's console had this no signal issue. She took into a shop and they tried a different hard drive and replaced the HDMI ports. I think they tried something else but I can't remember what it was. I found your video on this and thought it was great, so I went back to the shop and had them replace that retiming chip. However this didn't fix my issue. I'm wondering if they used the right chip as they game me a different price than what I found online. I also had to wait a couple of weeks for them to get it. The chip that they installed does not appear to be clearly marked like the original. Anyway, is there any other possible issue other than the HDMI port, a different hard drive or this retiming chip that you can think of? Thanks in advance.

[@Moby41]

Just found your channel and have been binge watching :P I'd love it if you could get your hands on a RROD Xbox 360 and see if you can fix it.

[@Tronicsfix]

Welcome to my channel!

[@Josh.Davidson]

RROD fix permanent requires replacement GPU. I've done this a few times and it takes a long time and a lot of patience to do properly.

[@mikewalker2531]

@@Josh.Davidson the red ring of death happens because of bad thermal dissipation. Modern days a low temp solder is used and hte360 heted above the melt point of the solder used.

[@Josh.Davidson]

@@mikewalker2531 No, that's completely and utterly false. Even if you take off the heatsink, the chip will reach roughly 95-100C (varies by revision), then enters the EC_THERMAL state. In this state, the fans run at max and the chips are held in reset (means they're not active, it's like the system is off). 2 red lights (not 3) flash on the front for phats, and the center light flashes red for slims, and the power button won't shut it off. Once it gets low enough, it will turn the fans off and wait for the user to restart it. The temps never exceed that maximum, such is impossible. The solder melt temps of leaded is 183Cish, and the lead-free used on the 360 needs 217Cish. So not anywhere NEAR hot enough to melt it. That's all a giant myth. In addition, the fans are drive dynamically by the SMC, not like the fixed fan curve of a PC, so the system has no thermal issues. It's one of the worst myths in the whole gaming industry and was created by people with no technical or engineering knowledge. Lastly, the reason the towel trick temporary revives it is not because it melts solder. Because as I said that's impossible, it would shut down first. It's because the problem is the defective flip chip design in the GPU. Same problem many laptops had back then. Heat is known to fix defective flip chips for a very short period of time because is messes with the underfill and c4 bumps. And also the Xenon CPU heats up far faster than the Xenos GPU even with the far bigger heatsink, in the original 90nm design on the units that failed. But yet the CPU is almost never failed.

How did you get that chip off the board so easy? I have tried to get it off with the hot air gun but it would not budge at all. Any tips thanks

[@Tronicsfix]

It needs lots of heat

i love this videos men! Could you explain the function and why that chip do not work?

[@makunouchiippo2542]

Display Interface IC 6 Gbps AC Coupled to TMDS/HDMI Redriver 40-WQFN 0 to 85 TDP158 by texas instruments is a redriver for hdmi or display port is a "controller" that detects your screen then it control the outpout resolution means 4k /1080p etc if the chip dies the xbox dont know what type of screen are you conecting

Great video, whats the liquid you put on the chip to reattach it?

[@thelounge9845]

It's called Solder Flux

[@boogermother5000]

how do i get my hands on one of these timing chips?

[@DurtyBuhks]

Damn that a lot of screws lol

[@shanez1215]

Console makers LOVE their screws. Wait till you see the Wii U, it's so small yet has about as many screws as this. There's one like Evey inch of the perimeter of the board it's ridiculous lol

[@SylverFoxTG]

I’m looking for that thermal pad you replaced. You don’t have one on your website. Where do I find it so I can fix mine. Thank you

[@bustagutlocker4416]

Are you using thermal paste and a heat gun to remove the timer chip?

[@peston6753]

What temperature do you use?

[@srobeck77]

Its a visual cue. No1 holds up a temp probe while soldering.

If I buy the part well u fix mine to if not that's Kool what would u charge

Can you give me a link so I can buy that part please? And any special tools needed. I need to try and do this

[@Holy_Trees]

I was wondering what Flux you would recommend for this?

[@ace5633]

How I'm suppose to do that I have no skill at fixing stuff and I have no replacement items

[@srobeck77]

Thats a "you" problem. Sucks to be you.

[@pball4lyf]

you just saw a step by step video on how to do it. go slow, and give it a try. your Xbox likely doesn’t work anyway (like mine, currently), so why not try to learn and/or fail? you can do it.

Can you do us a favor of showing ps4 APU reflow and reballing repairs

[@franciscolozada1059]

That's quite a lengthy process and even after reballing i heard it isn't always a guarantee fix

[@Tronicsfix]

I actually don't do reballs. What @Francisco said...it takes a long time and doesn't always even work.

[@gamingworldzone105]

Thanks, so can you do us a favor of showing ps4 console members how good it is to use the Fan Speed Accelerator also known as Playstation-4-Fan-Mod-Adjustable-Speed-Accelerator-Controller from ebay in way to keep the APU working under suitable temperature than the ps4 itself could do as well form over heating

[@nickwpearce]

Hi! I was playing my Xbox One X at work (12 hour shifts as a boom gate operator both day/night) and its my sanity keeper lol. Lost all display through the TV, console boots fine and by using a HDMI to VGA adapter with a 3.5mm audio jack I can actually get picture at 576p or 720p but not 1080p to my PC monitor. A quick google search found you! Would a faulty TDP158 Retimer IC be my issue? Of course I’m just guessing it could be something else, just strange the HDMI to VGA cable works up to 720p but a normal HDMI cable doesn’t give me anything...

[@hanslefour20]

thank you!!!!!!! i watched so many of your videos but i tripped over my xbox thought it was the hdmi but nope its the hardrive!

[@uniquecomputers9741]

where can you buy the chip you replaced?

[@lordddeo1240]

Amazon

[@ertpecsertpecs]

Mouser or digikey or Google the correct ic part number for your model
