You need to be much more careful next time take it slow. Just some constructive criticism for you none of us got it right the first time. The electronics are just so fragile these days it dosn't take much.
That's my problem with 'most' repair shops, they don't repair they only replace the entire board. But I do understand that finding experienced people in micro soldering and board repair is tough.
@@randomkitty2555 It's more complicated than you think and there could be many reasons why not to repair. One of them could be economical reason (it could cost more to repair than to replace broken part).

Big thank you, I had a Xbox one s I bought to repair a HDMI port... Fix it and did a total cleaning... After the cleaning the console, it stopped working... After running across this video I thought "Hmmm, this sound interesting and a lot like my problem." Yep, after tearing it back down , I found the broken traces...

Honestly I've never seen anything like this I've been following you for a long time but the mix between advice on how manage customers and the issues as well as the repair teaching ♥️Alex.. Big boss and team thank you so much ♥️🙏you guys are amazing and do such great work
Thank you for putting these criteria into words. I have been wanting to post almost verbatim to what you just posted here, so you just covered my sentiments as well. Fred
Nice video, thanks! Its always good to know the story behind a problem. This will let you get an idea or a solution immediately and helps most of the time. 👍 good job
It's great to take part in your thinking process as you go along. Your assumptions usually take to the right conclusion. A testament to your expertise and experience that we see everyday. I love your repair videos, but I love your talks on business even more. Thank you for the effort! I might be late to watch your videos but I make sure that I never miss any.
Hi Alex, you've done awesome work and I've learnt so many things from you. for learning purpose; could you please upload videos of unfixable circuits as well?
Damn - jealous that yours was a simple fix. My on/off xbox one s has been one hell of a hole to dive down. It's now mine (customer doesn't want to pay for repairs) so I am just going to tinker when time is free. Three phase power rail is good. No short to gnd. All I can think of is Southbridge at this point. Trying to avoid a reball.
Love your channel... Very well explained as you investigate the damage and how you are going to repair it ... Just an idea for you... I play musical keyboards... Repairing them might be another service you could easily do .... Anyway keep sharing your work here on UA-cam .big thumbs flying high 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪☘️
The X clamps are easy to remove if you don't try to do it like most of the videos I've seen online. The screwdriver should be twisted to between the upper and lower parts of the fork, not by levering against the board. :-)
Did you test playing a game to see if the original fault (shutting down mid-game) is still present? I can't imagine something that new has failed heat paste already...
I have this problem as well. When I try and trouble shoot it I can hear the two power us noises but shuts off after. I did get it to work once but when I clicked it to reset it froze. Tried to turn it on again and it went back to the problem. How can get you to fix this for me?
@@darudesandstorm7002 lol..thats what I meant, but my fingers didn't type what I was thinking...not to worry. I like watching the repairs and was not aware of the 'track pads' which, come to think of it are a great way to repair broken tracks. Some years ago I used conductive liquid silver which was brushed on to maybe join two tracks. I've only recently been made aware of the masking and using UV light to set it, so thanks for that. 👍
I had the same issue where is would instantly shut of, when I sent it to get fixed, it came back with a shorter power cable and it was formatted, not sure why.
Hopefully the thermal paste will stop it from shutting down while gaming if that was indeed caused by overheating. Good quick job though and good video.
Short, sweet, easy fix, don't want to watch all the time complicated videos. But I wanna see those boxes contents I hope we are going to see those in an unbox video.
Hello, I was wondering if it is always going to be an issue with the motherboard when an Xbox does that; turning off immediately? or could it also be the power supply? My Series S does that.
Can I send Xbox’s to you to fix lol if so how much I have two one powers on for about 5 mins with no signal. Then my other one got a lil bit of soda spilled right in between the fan and the disc drive
Hi Alex .. There is test point TP5D1, V_3P3... I presume this should be 3.3v ... but i only got 1.1v, are this the correct voltage for TP5D1 ? Thanks...
What video editor are you using to make your videos? Have you already sold something to Brazil? I am interested to buy a microscope ring Light like yours?...... tks for your videos thats helps me a lot.
Have you considered taking a break from UA-cam? Man if I was this backed up, I would put UA-cam on hold for like 2 weeks and just bust out most of these. I mean it's all up to you, but I don't want to be selfish waiting for you to make a video when you have this much work to get done.
I always put some tape in the motherboard near the X clamp holes on the xbox to avoid cutting traces, is very easy to happen, once had a 360 the screw driver just jumped to whenever it wanted, luckily it scratched one part the of pcb which had to traces, and no components, was very lucky, is very dangerous to remove x clamps
Omg how many devices do you repair in a day and how much do you charge on average. I suppose your passion to see things working again helps you stay curious all the time about the repairs, otherwise for somebody who doesn't like this kind of thing this would be a nightmare.
i have sony bravia tv.. it gets 5 red blinks. so i send it to sony repair shop and check it and it shows it only got corrosion on screen connector.. i paid almost 15USD.. already 7yrs old tv
Hey bro i really wish i could have get my macbook pro to u since it give me a sudden shutdown and never came on back ....im way out of South America/Guyana🇬🇾
@@vgrepairs Usually the PCB fab house doesn’t charge for copper coverage. You are charged for multi layer stack up, very fine trace/space limits, microvias, controlled impedance, board size, etc.
He fixed the startup issue by repairing the pcb trace, and probably fixed the shutdown issue by replacing the thermal paste / pad. What more were you expecting?
WaterCattle= water Buffalo???? I don’t see any cattle around. Ohhhhhhh you must mean kettle. Got it. By the way, you were a lowly worker ( like most of us), Alex here is the boss. See the difference? Sholom.
Alex is a top notch expert (I'm the owner of the Xbox one s) glad i found your shop via UA-cam. I highly recommend them!
👏👏👏👏
Why didn’t you use the one year warranty from Microsoft ?
Unless you’re not the original purchaser
@@bamboozled9120 probably voided the warranty by openning it
Warranty void when opened it

Your repair shop is a Big Power House for electronics patients. Very nice. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Really enjoying your videos. Learning a lot about circuit repair.
You are one man with very stead hands Alex. When I take chances with bigger components than the ones you deal with it's a nightmare
I love watching this video definitely at night it's almost like AMSR it's just smoothing to hear you talk while you fix that

I enjoyed the video so much. An inspiration.
Why the heck do they have to make the traces so narrow. I never understood that. Maybe it saves on copper usage?
Like a Dr's job. Great.

If I lived next to your shop, I would be happy to come and do some housekeeping for you

Nice work as always brother, but I am confused, is your name Alex or Hussein ??
Mine starts up an shuts off also. How much to fix normally.
more videos.. more more more.. Love your work from India.
You have clearly shown the reasons for why a good digital camera is needed.
Without the camera those tracks would not have been found, I'm guessing ✋👍
its done under a microscope which can see these traces better than any digital camera except maybe those in an observatory

How come you don't use conductivity ink pens to replace a broken circuit - instead of wires - just curious
Big boss previously worsened it and you fixed it
بارك الله فيك
I had the same issue where is would instantly shut of, when I sent it to get fixed, it came back with a shorter power cable and it was formatted, not sure why.
Sometimes when xboxes shut off immediately or after about 30 seconds it's due to a failing hard drive.
Big boss is very calm nature 😁
Good job as always🔥
what about shutting off after it heats up? does it still do that?
Quick Fix !! Happy Customer :)
You guys ROCK !
This saves time and money over years
How much do repairs usually cost and how can I go about moving forward ?
Another good fix but I noticed big boss pulled the cable out after testing instead of shutting it down
i do that all the time hahahaha.. funny nothing bad happen yet
@@JassonQuill why do u do that why not just poweer it down
Hopefully the thermal paste will stop it from shutting down while gaming if that was indeed caused by overheating. Good quick job though and good video.
that 1080ti is the same one you worked in video 2 days ago?
I got a Xbox series s. That needs HDMI repair. All the connection are broken off. I open it up just went as far as to see the HDMI connector.
Nice job and video like always
Short, sweet, easy fix, don't want to watch all the time complicated videos. But I wanna see those boxes contents I hope we are going to see those in an unbox video.
other than youtube videos, where can i learn to do repairs like you? Where did you start alex?
Could you fix my Xbox it’s stuck on a green screen
Hello, I was wondering if it is always going to be an issue with the motherboard when an Xbox does that; turning off immediately? or could it also be the power supply?
My Series S does that.
Did you figure out what the problem is mine is turning on then right off too
Great video! I got a question, how do you "get rid of the glare"?
Probably some type of optical filter, like a daylight filter gets used on a camera, I am assuming. Fred
U the man I wished u lived onnthe east coast

God bless you brother,
Just a remark, i think it would better if you stress test it before sending it back to the customer, peace be upon you.
Someone has some real courage mailing a GPU in OEM packaging now a days. Don't work too hard Alex and family.
Yeah. Remember "All work and no play makes Alex a dull boy". Make time for yourself and your family too! Fred
I wish that I will work here one day😁
Great, nice repair!!
So many repairs sent in , can the boss clone him ?
Can u make a video of ur workshop
Still no amd graphics cards are not coming in for repair.
Nice video. Brother where are u from ?just curious 🙂
How much do you charge
What video editor are you using to make your videos? Have you already sold something to Brazil? I am interested to buy a microscope ring Light like yours?...... tks for your videos thats helps me a lot.
Great fix, just curious: How did the xbox fail in the first place before customer opened it? hmm.
Overheating likely. Probably just needed a clean and service.
@@mikeycrackson Overheat..hmm maybe yes.

Fantastic price
Alex time for another site / size upgrade my man 🙏🏻🙂
also pretty common repair for og xbox where capacitor has leaked and traces have rotten away 😅
I also put flat head in between to loosen, then I just pinch with fingers and pull up. Never get any scratches
Buy an Xbox 360 x clamp removal tool. I used to use all kinds of methods for years. The tool changes the game. It's only a couple bucks.
uve heard of mask mandate but have you heard of solder mask mandate??great work.a small needle nose plyers is good for un doing them x clamps
I've been told that before I changed a chip because they said to online now nothing works. Dont do it

I'm a welder now I would just got by another one but this one sentimental to me
am getting the same problem
great job
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
That’s an awfully thin trace, considering the amount of free space on the board…
Why produce it using more copper per system? Thin traces work.
@@vgrepairs Usually the PCB fab house doesn’t charge for copper coverage. You are charged for multi layer stack up, very fine trace/space limits, microvias, controlled impedance, board size, etc.
Its like theres something that scratched it
Oh, you've got MacBooks! *impersonates Louis voice* MacBooks!
Hope to see you repair the original issue of startup and shutdown in a future video.
He fixed the startup issue by repairing the pcb trace, and probably fixed the shutdown issue by replacing the thermal paste / pad. What more were you expecting?
People need to purchase extended hardware warranties on their game consoles. Y’all are tiring this man out !
good job
Jeez someone must have sneezed while taken the screw driver to the board
So I guess he mentioned he fixed that 1080Ti from another video? kinda anticlimactic

That's why I'm always using a plastic card
, even few plastic cards if needed to not damage any components or traces 😁
Can you fix my please I will pay
Good eye bud
The person remove the x clamp and broke the line
If I wasn't in another country I definitely would take mines
