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 😢
If you like this type of video you'll probably like this Xbox Series X DIY Repair Fail video: ua-cam.com/video/r_S-MDs-XOU/v-deo.html 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.
Dude, i got this ps2 slim that my mother (rest in peace) gave to me when i was a teenager, i really want to see it work again, how can i send it to you, also you could make a video about it.
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
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.
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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 😂.
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.
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.
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.
1:53 this is why I subscribed, the moment I and many other are waiting for during these videos. I like to call it the PATP segment. Perfect Amount of Thermal Paste segment XD
Always satisfying to see these kinds of repairs also how do you leave a console on the stove.... Also also, I bought a broken ps2 to try and fix it, as inspiration to try my hand at electronic repair, thanks to your videos!
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 ?
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.
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
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
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
So, not only the perfect amount of thermal paste, but... TWO perfect amounts of thermal paste! I'm having a very crappy day today and this made me smile. Thank you, Steve!
Damn, i Love this, to See someone Repairing consoles. I trying to repair consoles and Computers over The Years. And i Startet because, of your Videos. Thanks and sorry for my Bad Englisch, im from Germany, so im Not that good in Englisch
"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
I really like these vids. Makes me wanna get into this as a hobby. Really cool work. You guys are the modern day blacksmiths, but instead of weapons or metal tools, electronics. You guys are E-smiths. Yeah. sounds cooler than electric engineer
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?
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 ;-)
your videos encouraged me to start trying to repair things like you! you are a huge inspiration for everyone! i love your videos, if you have the time to answer me i would really appriciate it, do you know of any cheap places where i can get broken consoles?
Have you ever done an Xbox one Power brick repair? Would love to see you save an OG Xbox like this. Currently waiting for the capacitors to come in for mine
right now i cant afford there tools but ive always found they look cool what i use is the screw drivers ive managed to get ahold of to work on what stuff i do have
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.
JerryRigEverything: *Scratches at level Six with a deeper grove at level Seven* TronicsFix: *It doesn't have the perfect amount of thermal paste* I love this sound when they said it
@@garymiles484 Somebody has obviously been in there before, and they likely knocked the resistors/capactiors off the board during the disassembly process by being careless.
I hate it when I accidentally leave my gaming console on the stove.
Not gonna lie, I cried a single tear when I saw you apply that perfect amount of thermal paste
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 😢
Dude probably couldn't fix it and placed it on the stove to damage it and mask that he had been in it.
@@TherealWinterpillow That is exactly my thoughts too!!!!

Would you consider fixing some stuff live ?
Did you fix the special edition case or did you have a replacement?

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

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
Thanks 👍
Yes, it's a cool one.
TheCod3r and TronicsFix... two of my favorites!
Wait, the video was uploaded 19 minutes ago
Did you hear that Phil....... redriver 🤣🤣
I love your videos, keep 'em coming with "The perfect amount of thermal paste".
Thanks, will do!

I love how you troll the thermal paste perfectionists every single time. It's not perfect unless it's oozing out of the sides.
It just breaks my heart when I see such great consoles in such worse conditions
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 😂.
That settles it! Im hooked on these videos...

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

Almost 1 Million Bro 👍 good luck, and thanks for all your videos these past years ✌
I like the burn mark. It gives it character.
Always satisfying to see these kinds of repairs
also how do you leave a console on the stove....
Also also, I bought a broken ps2 to try and fix it, as inspiration to try my hand at electronic repair, thanks to your videos!
Did you fix it in the end?
Man, you have a talent. pure skill and talent when it comes to electronics
I will watch every repair video you make for the rest of my life.

Another video I enjoyed thoroughly. Here's a cheer and a hoping to see 1M subs!
interesting to replace the resistor with a 0R, not that its a critical circuit or anything. Great repair!
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
That's what the pros call a botch
Great video and attitude Steve. I am sure even the guy who put this on the stove would enjoy watching the video .
So funny how I can feel your excitement and relief when you get a console working😂
What reason could you possibly have to ever put a console on a stove, let alone a hot one?? LOL! Nice work, yet again.
Thanks to you i start to repare all my stuff, now when i want something i firstly Search a broken one . Thanks from france🇫🇷
I love your thumbnails and the great faces you make
Great video, glad to see these 2 consoles revived.
Awesome! I use to take electronic classes in high school it’s been 12 years since I’ve soldered or put together computers I love all of your videos!
Hey man. I'm a software engineer and I love your videos man. Interesting seeing the deep dive of hardware :D

great fixes, I cannot believe the stove damaged one, talk about negligence and buffoonery
Great job, nothing can’t go wrong when using the perfect amount of thermal phase!
It's wonderful seeing all these consoles get a second chance.
Been watching since last year just subbed keep up the clean work man
Of all the place that is safe to put the console.. he choose the stove... MVP dude
I really liked the backround music this time and great fix like always.
Enjoy all of your videos thanks for making great content !!!!!!!
Amazing, Steve, nice job as always! (Azumaki from Junji Ito?😂 )
My gaming console overheats on the stove. You made it look simple. Nice work.
I love how i was confused about 'perfect amount of thermal paste' when i started watching recently
Loved seeing those two breathing life again. I just got a Xbox One 1tb that I need to eventually open and repair.
So, not only the perfect amount of thermal paste, but... TWO perfect amounts of thermal paste! I'm having a very crappy day today and this made me smile. Thank you, Steve!
I love these videos so much. Thanks for making them!
I love watching you fix things
Always fun to watch for sure

I just received the PS5 that TechRax threw down a staircase so we'll see about that!
Nicely done Steve!
You are the best console repairer
And yet again another amazing video
im at 7 secs in and already im hyped for this repair
Top shelf episode, Steve.
Glad you enjoyed!
@@Tronicsfix you're the best buddy, love from Nova Scotia, Canada
Hey! That;s what happened to Armadillo Quintero's Xbox!
Serious though, love the channel.
Amazing fix. Enjoyable to watch as always

great video lad keep up with the good work ps how are you doing today 😊
Glad you replaced that messed up case. Was the overheating problem gone too?
I like the Design from the Stove :)
Great repair as always
It's weird to see someone putting an Xbox One X in a stove, The original owner was such a monster, Anyways, Nice job fixing it!

right now i cant afford there tools but ive always found they look cool what i use is the screw drivers ive managed to get ahold of to work on what stuff i do have
I know you have a list of items that you use. Have you done a video of your equipment from pad to paste? I'd really like to see what you've got setup.
Finally a soothing notification 😍
Great Job again 😎🤙🏼
Watcing my friend👋advance merry xmas,and happy new year🙂
Good Job !!! Glad you can get some $$$ out of this.
1:26 is that water damage or what?
Thanks for the great video 😄😄
Better late than never! It's Tronics Friday!
Hi Steve
Great repairs as usual
We want longer videos (if possible)
What was your son's name ?
One Hot item! Looks like it got Cooked!
Great but quick repair video!
Great video😄
That's some nice case mods right there :D

Hmmmm...hadn't thought of that. That's possible
Love these :) all ive ever been able to fix is an xbox one controller(just a RB replacement) other than that i have a massive box of failed attempts
That robot white one over heated alright 🤣

Very nice guy, today is your lucky day.
Nice. 2/2 fixed. Good job.
Do you think arctic silver 5 is the best thermal paste for these consoles?
idk about the best, imo it's the best in it's price range and it's more than adequate for consoles.
Perfect amount of thermal paste 👌
What would make components fall off your motherboard? The heat from the stove does not seem hot enough to make the solder melt
I question that as well. I would have started looking for the missing resistors. Where are they hiding.
