Trying To Fix Stuff: Xbox One X With No Audio or Video

Little bit of a shorter video. The TDP158 HDMI retimer IC needed to get swapped to fix the no audio/video issue with this Xbox One X. The HDMI port doesn't normally go bad on the xbox consoles, I've seen a couple, but the HDMI chip is usually the issue. Unlike the PS4 where the HDMI port can get destroyed easily! Common things to know it's the TDP158: No audio/video, colors missing on screen, o...

    • @KylesTinkering
      @KylesTinkering Місяць тому

      Unfortunately, none that I've seen for these. You might be able to swap the entire analog stick, desolder the old one, with a replacement that would fit the aftermarket replacement gameube thumb caps. The depth of the replacement caps might be too high or low though

  • @Poizon_SSBU

    cheap sticks that you find on amazon do not work properly, they feel too gummy. and, the stick rubber tends to wear away very quickly.

    • @KylesTinkering
      @KylesTinkering 3 місяці тому

      They aren't perfect, they're not like the original ones, but you can't get OEM thumbsticks from Nintendo. The alternative is keep using the original thumbstick that has no rubber at all left, or torn/missing chunks. They still look nice (color slightly off) and feel fine. Only real problem I've had is the internal hole is deeper than the original, which is why I'm using the UV curing glue to add a little bit of height to the stick. Also gotten away with using a little, tiny, ball of blu tack. Also helps to prevent the thumbstick from lifting up and down

    My Xbox one X no longer wants to boot to mainscreen... Stuck on 26016.1002.amd64fre.rs_cbox_dev_flight.231211.2030, which is OS 10.0.26016.1002 Official one released now is 10.0.25398.4478... So does this mean I need to wait till an OS higher than 10.0.26016.1002 is released till I can restore the Xbox again?

    Tried this a few days ago. It didn't go well. First i couldn't get the solder to melt to remove the port. Eventually i got it by ripping it the rest of the way off. Then the holes where it seats had too much solder in them and i couldn't get the new port seated properly. I barely got it attached finally but it's still not in the holes as good as it should be. I'm just gonna put it back together and hope for the best but yeah i probably screwed it up worse. What heat gun is that your using? I think i ordered the wrong one. It was a mini heat gun and it wouldn't even melt the solder at all. For my first attempt at soldering id say i pretty much blew it.

    • @KylesTinkering
      @KylesTinkering 6 місяців тому

      Those ground pins suck up a lot of heat, so it does need a good solder iron with a good tip at a pretty high heat. I was probably doing the soldering iron around 400C The hot air station is some generic 858D. Been a while since I bought it but you should be able to find one for under $40 and it's been worth the investment

      The xbox controller has a pretty big ground plane, which sucks up a lot of heat. I've taken them off with hot air, and then cleaned up the holes using a solder sucker or braid To make it faster, I just use the soldering iron (about 400C) and solder sucker. Otherwise I'd have to take the green PCB off the board to use the hot air. Plus the hot air might melt the plastics, and I was trying to just swap the button on this
