- Repair Shop Ripped Him Off - Let's Fix It! The seller of this Xbox Series X took it to a repair shop for HDMI port repair but after spending $400 it only worked for about a month before it went back to not showing an image on the screen. Let's take it apart and see if we can figure out what went wrong. And get it working again, of course.

As a repair shop, this is so frustrating! Sketchy shops like these give us ALL a bad name and only further damage our already struggling industry. So glad you were able to help them out.
One of my favorite repair youtubers is watching another one of my favourite repair youtubers?!?!? I would have newer guessed! But im glad to see it!
Don't worry! They can't give a bad name to "The greatest technician that ever lived"!
the best technician that ever live
400 for a repair he can get a series X on sale for like 350 is a SCAM
good luck yall
400$ for a "repair"?! It would be baffling expensive for a real repair when you can find perfectly working Series X for around 400$. I got mine brand new, factory sealed for 350$.
Hey, where'd you get it for 350 dollars? Really helps as I was planning to buy one myself!
@@astigon1565 Unfortunately it wont help you my information since I'm living in eastern Europe. Anyway, I got two - one for me and one for one of my buddies. I wanted to buy a 3rd one but the seller didnt wait as my 2nd buddy didnt answer he in good time.
Now, used Xbox Series Xs are between 300 and 400 around here.
I also got a Series S with controller for 70 bucks.
@@astigon1565there’s eBay and there’s always sales going on as well
@@astigon1565 Unfortunately my info cant help you since I'm living int the eastern Europe.
Anyway, the around 400$ Series Xs have begun to appear more and more. In my country there are plenty of 350$ used SX and they are sitting there, listed, and nobody is rushing to buy them. I even got a Series S for 70$ with a controller.
@@astigon1565 Black friday is a good way. Either that or you can buy them on military exhange for a real good price
You're a true Superhero to all us gamers! Thank you for another awesome video 🎉
Hi Steve, how are you? I hope you are well, every Friday we need the perfect amount of your repairs and thermal paste
Doing pretty good right now. I'm in between treatments so I've got good energy right now. 2 more treatments to go
@@Tronicsfix keep going man, pulling for u!
@Tronicsfix that is amazing to hear. ❤
@@Tronicsfix Wonderful to hear this. Much love
@@Tronicsfix Yeah all the best man, stay strong, we love you
Hope your feeling better thanks for showing me your strength I really enjoy your fixing videos
We're rooting for you, Steve, keep fighting. Loyal viewer to your amazing content.
I took a leap and went and bought a broken Sony 4k projector on eBay auction and tried to systematically fix it like how you do in your videos.
Red light flash on start up and started tearing down. Started with bulb and what do you know?! It was busted!
Replaced bulb and just like that, all fixed!. 100 hours of enjoyment so far! Awesome!! It was a risk that paid off 😊
So now we know what happens when you let "the new guy" practice on a customer's system.
Lol, that's what it seems like!
100% it was someone who's literally never fixed anything, they got it open, found when they pushed on the socket it would kind of work, they taped it, claimed victory.
They had it torn all apart so they thought they were supposed to throw some more thermal paste in there, like regreasing a bearing sort of, so the more the better.
This is bad even for a new guy and what about the one who is above him (if there's even someone else) can't he just guide him and have it fixed right? This kind of work and ignorance drive me crazy tbh
💀
There is no way a repair shop did this. Looks like someone at home watch a video and tried it themselves.
*Pulls heatsink off* "WHOA.. Not the perfect amount of thermal paste!" .. That was the same reaction I think we all had.
Keep fighting the good fight and thank you for finding the strength to keep making these wonderful videos!
I just found out what you are going threw this is the first video I've watched in awhile due to personal reasons but my heart and prayers goes out to you. I love your content and have learned so much from you. My current PlayStation 4 I've had for ten years only because of the repairs I've learned from you. I really hope you pull through this and I pray it only makes you and your family stronger
2:40 3:56 5:17 6:38 Steve has the nicest way of saying "what the f$#^ is this s%×t"
11:00 so graceful
12:46 There we go
😘 love you all
Lol!
💯
Always learning something new from you, thank you, Professor Steve, big regards from Costa Rica
Steve, been part of the tronicsfix family for a long time. Just wanted to say we’re rooting for you in Alabama!
Seems you feel a little better Steve, you looks very good and i love your headform. Glad you don't use a cap or a beanie.
150$ for the repair + 100$ for the thermal paste.
😂
Oh my god, I have been watching him for so long and I haven’t seen him recently and now I’m back and he has cancer? I’m so shocked! Well, I wish you take the chemo well and without much pain and complications, I’m sure you will beat cancer! I love your videos so much, keep being amazing and I wish only the best for you! ❤
I love how you never talk crap about other repair shops. Youre always respectful and give them the benefit of the doubt even when its obvious the other shop did a terrible job.
The worlds needs more people like you, Mister Tronicfix. Thank god.
This video is a month old, but it was so satisfying watching you take out stuff and saying what the hell did these people do while you fixing, thank you for saving this person xbox It seems to me you was the last resort of hope.
Wishing you the best with the rest of the treatment! Thanks for still putting out these videos for us!
Steve, I always get excited for one of your videos and I could still hear you fix an old TV remote by diagnosing faulty AAA bateries and would be content with it. Hope all works out for you in terms of health and that you will grace us with your presence for years to come. Have all our strenght and THANK YOU!
Another awesome video Steve! Just wanted to let you know that because of your videos and open personality, I've just ordered my first soldering kit to do my own repairs! Keep up the good work and I hope you get better soon!!
Awesome! Love it!
I've always wanted to try out soldering myself. Which kit did you get?
I've been watching your videos since 2020 and your tutorials helped fixed and thermal pasted my PS4 consoles. I wish you a full recovery and thanks for all your help! 🙏
$400 for that repair is ridiculous, you may as well just have bought a new one, they go on sale for like $349 sometimes nowadays.
That was the first thing i was thinking aswell...
Yep he could have taken the initial $250 from the first repair, sold the broken console for around $200 and had enough to buy a new one.
@@GeoTheDeity Yup, indeed.
Hey Steve, glad you're doing well and still fixing stuff that other people broke. I'll always be grateful for your soldering course. It has allowed me to fix several small electronic devices around the house that I'd have otherwise thrown away and replaced.
Sorry to hear about you being sick, i have been battling cancer since May last year, had a cell transplant myself and it’s been tough. Hope you get well soon.
After reading your posts regarding your health I'm glad to see that you decided to rock the bald. I've never been through anything similar so I can't say how I'd manage it but I certainly respect that you're not letting it define you and (I was gonna say getting back on the horse but it doesn't feel like you ever came off) punching on with work.
I found your channel accidentally many years ago when I was trying my very first repair (a micro usb replacement for a nexus 7 tablet) and I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't cursing how easy you made everything look while I was in a mess of screws and solder. Thank you so much for your contributions to both my poor attempts to repair and the electronics repair category on UA-cam in general, Steve. The motivation to try something new for the first time is incredibly hard to find and I can't even imagine just how many people have been inspired to because of your videos.
Just a quick thank you from germany Steve :)
Only because of this show and the message, that repairs are in fact doable i bought parts together and remade my good old Amiga 500 with new caps and everything fixed and can enjoy my childhood games again.
I even bought a digital microsope because you showed this many times, because my eyesight isn't the best anymore, antd it is fantastic to do soldering jobs that way.
Hope you get well soon, you can do it! :D
Hang in there buddy! I’ll keep watching. You are one of my favorite channels (along with Marshal’s Wristwatch Revival). I’m inspired to rejoin the repair movement because of you since I’m done with deployments and retiring from the Navy soon. If you run into problems don’t be afraid to start a kickstarter and ask us for help.
I appreciate you steve. You're always honest and share the knowledge you have in your videos so folks understand why their electronics aren't working.
Glad to see you're still going strong after all of your health stuff. You inspire me to fix things I find that aren't working. I appreciate you so much. Keep your head up, brotha. You have a strong community 🤗💚
Thanks tronicsSteve always good to see you bro. Praying for your health buddy.
You are great man. Been watching for awhile and didn’t know what you was going through. Keep fighting brother. Your ability to upload videos shows your strength.
Great fix Steve and giving some insights that you’ve found regarding the area that doesn’t get much heat/love.
I hope the treatment is going well and praying for you.
You are so responsible and professional to your job! Such a small detail made that XBOX not working and you fixed it!
Can't wait your next video.
Hope all is well with you Steve, rooting for you here in Arizona. Much love and prayers.
Hope ya get better friend, we are all rooting for ya!
my man fighting the big c and still fixing problems repair shops caused with a professional attitude get well soon bro
Hi Steve, been watching your videos for a while. I love them, love you too and hope that they never stop! Get well soon! ❤️ Thank you!!!!
Love your cleaning tips and gentleness as well as going the extra mile to do something so simple as to clean the inside...I don't get why people don't do that in the first place. Take care of your toys everyone! 😁
You made the disassembly of that xbox look stupid simple. Great repair work!
Sending you love and best wishes from the UK Steve.... Over here you'd need a hat as it's bloody freezing for us bald people. Hope you're on the mend and keeping us entertained with these butcher repair shop videos.
Keep on trucking
Steve, thanks to you we all gained the confidence to do our own repairs ourselves. thank you for being a great teacher!
Thank you for sharing. It's always a great pleasure to watch your videos. Get well, people like you make this world a little better 🌟
I just tore down my ps5 today all the way down to the heat sink to clean it out all off of this man’s videos! I’m even debating on turning this into a side gig cleaning my homies consoles and computer towers thanks for the guidance and wisdom man!
More power to you brother, you did tell us to expect this but just not used to watching you like this. Really hoping the best for you. If you feel comfortable we’d love to learn about your progress. 💪💪💪
2:53 - looks like a thermal paste diarrhea happened here 😂
I hope that guy doesn't get loose on a ps5.
Its crazy how things like that can change how a person looks, i wish you the best man, you’ll get through this!
400 dollars is a joke to repair a 499 console.
You look great going through what you are. Keep strong and safe.
I always love that even while we are out here thinking ooof they did a poopy job, you still find the positives in any of the work.
Keep being awesome Steve 👍🏻
Glad to see you feeling well enough to make some vids, Steve. Praying for a quick recovery for you.
Great update on your website about your health...stay strong and get rest....prayers headed your way
The dome is looking great Steve ! Hope all is well friend , keep the great videos coming and never stop applying the perfect amount of thermal paste ‼️🙏
Hi Steve, Lot of prayers for you!! Get well soon. Love from Entire India❤
hey tronics i hope everything with your battle is going swimmingly and you’re kicking cancer’s ass. god bless you brother!!!
I love your work ethic, and I wish more people shared it. I’m a firm believer that if you’re going to do a thing you should do it right, and you clearly feel the same. Great videos, and I wish you luck!!
Good luck with your treatments, keep up the good job. And the community wishes u the best of luck
Keep going Steve! You're looking well :) I am personally always thinking of you and praying for your 100% recovery
You are an absolute master at your craft. Thank you for doing these videos, you continue to help me so much! You are in my prayers with your health situation too!
I just wanted to say, I wish you all the strength and positive energy in the world and you to get well soon. Much love from Germany
Great to see another video from you again wish you only the best keep inspiring the next generation for electronic repairs take care
you the electronic fixing man! i always wondered why other systems didn’t use thermal pads like the n64. When I took mine apart the pads were still brand new
If you weren't into repairing stuff, you could've been a TV/Radio presenter easily. You got the nice and calm voice for it. Thanks for amazing repair video ❤ i love them 😊
Steve, it has nothing to do with today's video but I want to let you know that because of you I am learning not only electronics but also English, you have a clear and beautiful pronunciation so thank you
Saludos desde México, bendiciones!
I'm so glad, seeing you're doing well! You are a true inspiration and blessing for all of us DIY'ers and gamers. Stay strong, and don't forget to take a break now and then. We will be here.
Back in the day, I had a HORRIBLE experience with a "repair shop" that left my all-white DSlite inoperable and my heart broken. We need more people like Steve!!! ❤
Dude I recent did the big shave myself . You rock the bald look perfectly my man. Lookin like a young Billy Corgan.
Praying for your continued healing journey! Love your videos so much.
sending prayers for a speedy recovery!
Love seeing you work Steve. Wish I had your skills. Thanks for showing us how it's done.
Oh wowo $400 for that work? No way! Well done on the repair, I think we seen you repair soooo many of these HDMI ports already on your channel. Good luck with the health man - rooting for you.
400$ and was still not working sounds like someone got robbed.
Good job at locating the issue and get well soon!
I love how you dragged the sad broken pin across the others.
Good to see you steve! Thank you for blessing our eyeballs with another great video.
this man is like a father to me i hope you get through this and get back to normal ❤❤
U are my hero Steve.....so much i tryed do this repair and save many consoles i can ...in Sweden....so far 1 PS3 slim and 2 XBOX 360
Great to see you Steve! Ive been praying for you! Keep on keeping on !✌
Recently repaired a Ps5 I’m not sure I would of been able to do it without your help good sir God bless you with healing and success
Thanks for the videos steve, pls keep fighting we ALL believe in you, you can do it
We just need to accept the reality that not everyone can apply the perfect amount of thermal paste like you
awesome repair! it's neat to see your skill displayed with engaging commentary! thank you
Steve, I hope you're doing well , keep up everything is going to be fine. In no time you will be 100% again . Best wishes!
Good to see you happily fixing stuff, Steve! Keep up the good fight!!!
I hope you make it buddy, it’s shock seeing you like this, I’ll pray for you.
I wish we had technicians like you in my country, greetings from Bolivia
Hope your feeling better and treatments going well, gotta say you rock the skinhead suits you.
Hi Steve, hope you are recover quickly. Even in Germany we are very happy and entertained from your content. Best wishes and greetings from Germany.
All good man , you´re the best !!! I hope you get well. Best regards from Portugal
Another great video! Hope you’re all good Steve, all the best to you and your family!
I often see HDMI ports broken, especially in gaming consoles and other electronic devices. It feels like we're stuck in 2002 with these bulky, hard-to-plug-and-unplug ports, similar to USB 2.0. We need to move away from HDMI ports and either redesign them, like USB 3.0, to make them easier to use and less prone to damage, or eliminate them altogether and integrate HDMI functionality into USB 4.0.
That is not a easy thing to do, hdmi is in all device already. Display port could have replaced hdmi which also cost less than hdmi beacuse it is royalty free meanwhile hdmi isn't.
A good mean time solution would be two hdmi or one extra display port
Perfect background music for soldering... the sound of things gettin' hot! 🔥😏
Your fix videos are the best! Been here for awhile now and it’s amazing to see all the DESERVED success you have :) keep it up!
The repair shop needs to get a microscope like Steve's. You can just instantly spot the problem with these tricky hdmi repairs.
hey mate hope your feeling ok and the treatment is going well cheers for still up loading videos i really enjoy your vids your a
inspiration to us all
Hope everything goes in the right direction with your health, Thank you for another awesome video, take care.
Great job again man! Can't believe the dude paid that much for a repair since he could have just bought a new unit for that cost.
6:12 That q-tip is like a freaking jumpscare. You kind of forget exactly how tiny everything else is when you don't have something for scale!
Awesome repair man hope recovery is going well!
