  • Fixing Xbox One X's - I Wasn't Expecting This - Disappointed! In part 1 and 2 of these videos I fixed a total of 5 Xbox One S consoles. Now I tackle the last four Xbox One S consoles AND the two Xbox One X consoles. But what I found was surprising.

    I had this happen to me about 10 years ago. I bought a huge lot of ipods for a couple grand. I get them in and realized they had all already been gone through and put back together with bad parts. They each had 3 or 4 unrelated problems which was just too much to be a coincidence. I ended up selling some of them but lost money for sure. Lesson learned.

      I had the same thing happen with Xbox 360s. I thought I was going to make major bank by doing a bunch of x-clamp fixes on some 360s, only to find out that the lot I bought had already had those x-clamp fixes attempted and were beat to hell. I also learned the x-clamp fix really wasn't a long term solution. I got a few of them to work by baking the boards in the oven, but those were still flakey as well. I ended up just selling the whole lot on to the next person to break even, minus the shipping costs. I'm weary about trying to ever get into the refurb business because of that experience.

      Nah, I reckon the seller bought them just to pass them on or at least tried to fix some maybe, but I'd say their business is flipping them considering they had so many in the one listing. Salvage sometimes means just parts, simple as that. ⅓ isn't so bad. I know the moneys not there but 6 out of 18 is not a terrible result.

      PS4's, especially the launch models, also get the Blue Light of Death which is nearly impossible to fix unless you got the skills to do BGA work. The disc drives on the PS4 also break super easily. Xbox has its problems too, but remember that these are only 18 out of the 40-50 MILLION sold. I have both, and tbh unless you are replacing the HDD, the Xbox is far easier to repair since it's way easier to actually open.

    Hate to say it but I think you may have bought a lot of broken Xbox's from a man who repairs them himself. Doesn't hurt to look at the seller and if they are selling a lot of electronics/consoles it's probably a good idea to avoid that lot. You will get genuine "idk what's wrong" from time to time but there also seems to be just as much "I know what I'm doing and I have no clue what's wrong". I guess the point is don't buy lots from folks who repair consoles for a living because if it was easily fixable they would have most likely done it themselves.
    Also this goes for everyone in general as I'm sure more than a few people here are also buying similar things themselves hopefully they can take this advice and avoid learning the lesson the hard way :)

      Yeah, I buy a lot of faulty stuff to repair from eBay and, while most of it is genuinely faulty or accidentally damaged, there is the occasional batch of things that have had botched repair attempts that there's no way the seller didn't know about.
      If I can't repair something, I only sell it on if I think someone else has a fair shot at repairing it or there are some usable parts, and I describe it honestly - like 'I had a look and this seems to be the problem, but that's beyond my skillset to repair so maybe someone with better tools and knowledge could fix this.' I'm certainly not going to trash it and then just sell it as 'not working'.

When you're not dealing with absolutely unfixable devices that the seller knows are unfixable, you're dealing with bad parts. For example the most time consuming thing about repairing phones is waiting for the parts. And when you get a faulty part, that's maybe another month of waiting for a replacement. Too much shit to deal with.

I tried factory resetting multiple times which fixes the problem for maybe an hour before the Xbox crashes and on reboot shows the same error code. I also tried all manner of updates to no avail. Eventually, I sent it into Xbox to be repaired and they just sent me a whole new console... I’m guessing because Microsoft cut too many corners to get the price down and introduced some unfixable bugs... which they do a terrible job of addressing online. Look up those error codes. So many people have the same problem with their X and there is no good solution.
