The reach console will ALWAYS be special to me. It was the first 360 I bought while stationed in Iraq. The sounds it makes are a special little touch you dont see often. The color for it is amazing! I just love it.
At the moment I am trying to rebuild a Star Wars Edition slim. Got it for 20 Euros with an OG Xbox Duke controller and some games (quite a weird bundle actually, one of the games was GTA 4 for PC). All panels except for the side panels and the blue brace on the disk drive were replaced with panels from a black Xbox 360 slim (non-glossy). The sidepanels were still in really good condition, except for a minor scratch. The special sounds and everything still works. Now I am looking for a defective one, don't even care what defect it has, as long as the front panel is in good condition. And of course I need the C3PO controller. Might take a year or two for me to find a defective one, but I know I'll get it eventually.
I check on your videos time to time, I cant even solder 2 wire. I just found out your condition. I wish u all the best bro! Keep saving these filthy consolse!
No body talks about it, but that ESD Booster takes an insane amount of heat to remove! Same with the Redriver and even the port lol Another job done! Always making it look easy Steve! :)
It's so good to see you on video again. I've been a subscriber for a while, and have always enjoyed your videos. I genuinely wish a speedy recovery. I hate that you're going through so much...one of my really good friends growing up was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, and I've been calling him every other day trying to get him online to play games etc. I bought him a Steam Deck just so we can play together. So your situation hits really close to home, and I wish you and your family all the best! Stay positive, my friend, and thank you for sharing so much of your work and journey with all of us online idiots! :P
Sorry to hear about your friend. Colon cancer is rough. Online idiots, lol. I usually refer to my audience as my "internet friends" but I might like online idiots better lol
I saw a short of you and I was shocked how your look changed drastically so I know something is wrong. Glad you are still making vids man, I salute you. Like you I'm a tinker, when I see something is broken I always feel the urge to disassemble and hopefully fix it. Everything started at first grade where I destroyed most of my toys and as I grew, wandered around and found myself working on electonic repair shop and cellphone repair shop. As years pass by I noticed my health is degrading. Visit a doctor and he said that my immune system is probably not in a good shape and asked me a bunch of questions. When he found out about my passion he said which is tinkering on electronic devices while using soldering iron and lead he instantly said to get aways from those things at least for a year. Turns out chemicals, fumes, and other things that is involved on an electronic device are bad for your health. Fumes can cause some damage on lungs and can affect your immune system. Soldering lead is also bad because after touching those you would most probably touch your eye or mouth which is a bad thing. These things doesn't harm you in a day but it will go unnoticed until it's too late. If I were to decide I want you to stop but I know that this is your passion, stopping is like not living. My tip is just that be more careful, wear gloves, mask and something to protect your eyes. Wash your hands after repairing something or much better is to take a bath and putting those broken things away from your home(like put it on a warehouse or something) would lessen your exposure to hazardous things. I hope you get well soon and I hope you fix more things.
Hi Steve! Considering someone mismatched the fan and there is actually no startup chime, I believe you have either dead or mismatched SSD on that xbox, not a problem with a HDMI circuit. If thats a case, you wouldnt be able to fix those first boards anyway. Great video!
Hey there steve, it's been awhile but I used to frequently watch your channel. Just found out about your condition, so sorry to hear that but I hope you make a full recovery soon. Because of you I managed to learn valuable skills in repair especially in consoles and it really helped me start somewhat of a business for myself repairing old consoles.
"It doesn't smell like roaches." Roach infestation is such a unique smell. I used to work at Gamestop for half a decade and you could ALWAYS tell when a buggy (roach infested) console came through the door as soon as the person put it up on the counter for a trade-in. It was so disgusting. That smell is something you won't soon forget. Even now, 10 years later, I can still recall the sweet yet offensive smell. It just fills your nose.
As a building manager, I have developed a keen sense for detecting the presence of rats. In the building where I used to work, we had a severe rat infestation that took years to eradicate, and now I can detect the presence of rats from a distance.
Hey my friend I don’t usually comment or like videos but I dropped a like and wanting to let you know I’ve seen some of your videos before and now seeing this one which I hadn’t seen any In a while I want to say my mother is a cancer survivor and hope this comment and like helps your pocket I’m glad to read about your health and see your doing better , prayers 🙏
I haven’t watched in a while and you popped up in my in my feed and I was like oh no. My wife finished treatment for NHL back in March. I’m glad you had the best response to treatment. My wife did too. Anyways, hope all of your future scans show it’s gone for good. Great videos by the way.
Love you're videos dude. You are doing what I always wanted to do growing up. I went the route of computers though. Electrical engineering was haaaaard. Keep up the great videos!
Because of you my ps5 went from cutting out when gaming to being clean completely thank you so much if you have a good soldering tutorial i'd like to learn
Found your videos about a month ago. Good stuff. Thanks for listing your equipment and providing links. You inspired me to upgrade my 1980s antiquated tools for some new iFixit and Hakko replacements, so far about $300 worth. Keep up the good work and stay healthy!
hey steve,wish u a speedy recovery i really hope u get well soon,it's been a while,i just found out. I will watch all your videos that i missed cause buddy you are the BEST . THANK YOU for everything
Awesome channel. Are there any more disaster fixes you have? I’ve seen a few of your “this was in a fire” videos and I find it amazing to see your reaction with attempting to fix these trainswrecks.
My cousin is recovering from a very aggressive cancer. Chemo sucks... Man, I know you can beat that f*ing illness. My best wishes and strength to you! I hope you recover soon!
Enjoyed your thorough breakdown during the repair process, especially when diagnosing the HDMI problem. Wish the original motherboard could have been fixed.
Hi ! I recently bought a broken series x halo edition just like this one ! I thought that if it wasn't repairable, i would swap all the components inside with those of a standard working console... Then i thought about the special startup sound that i would no longer have... until i came across this video!!! I will show this video to the technician so he can do the same thing if the console is not repairable ! thank you so much, i hope you are doing well!
Happy you're doing and looking better. You've been a valuable part in the development of my personal skills and a great informative channel to just watch. Hoping for decades more videos❤
Man i love watching you repair such sensitive electronics and get it to work every time. iam very impressed how you pull this over to work again. Greetings from Austrian
Am sure am not the only one who comes back home after a long day at work grab a bite fire up a video and just chill so therapeutic keep up the good work man and thank you
I haven't seen a video of yours in over 3 months and I really didn't know what you were going through 😕 I wish you a good recovery sir 🙂and also a thank you because thanks to you i fix my xbox and the laptop by myself. Greetings from Albania
Bought one of these new. I rarely play on it so its still like new. Such a nice console. Looks good to Steve! Hang in there we are all rooting for you.
20:14 - So important to cleanup and inspect after a repair. Fried a few boards by not following this simple step. I tend to even inspect other areas of the board afterwards also. Those components are so small they fly everywhere (9th dimension).
Great to see you finally getting a paid partnership with BW100. I know you've always been a huge proponent of the product and it's great to see them value that.
Steve fixing electronics is sometimes like trying to fix the hyperdrive on the Millennium Falcon. They told me they fixed it….It’s not my fault….it’s not my fault!😂😂😂
I normally tend to dislike repairs that replace the entire board, but in this case it's justifiable since there is nothing special about the broken board other than the costum sound components which gladly everyboard had the pads for, so transplanting that from one to a good board is much more entertaining and is good to see a special console ready to be used again
Just curious why you never use electronic specific swabs for cleaning instead of the cotton swabs?? The foam swabs are so much better and leave no fibers behind. Love your videos.
I own this console and it is in mint condition. It was hard to get too when I first got it. I had to sign up for GameStop membership so that I could get a crack at the pre-order before it went live for everyone else. I think it sold out in a matter of minutes.
I tried soooo hard to get that xbox when it first came out. Never got lucky. Ended up with the standard version.. wish I could come up with enough to have one for collections!
Yep, I've fixed a total of two of them. I found this one on eBay but I'm searching for them daily. I've seen a couple more that have sold but they sold for crazy amounts even broken.
When these Halo X-boxes first came out, I was searching everywhere for one. I then found a site that said there would be a few sold about an hour away at 7am. My husband spent hours in line, in the November cold, on his Birthday to get one for our youngest son. Our son was so happy when he got it,for his Birthday, the next month.
Another awesome fix i just got a mint condition xbox 360 halo 3 edition with a upgraded heatsinks and a upgraded storage and new thermal paste shes a beaut cant wait for it to arrive
i have been an ebay buyer for 20 years and i can tell you some sellers do not disclose everything that may be wrong so they can sell it. and also read the condition clearly they may put sold as is and you can't dispute that.
@@Tronicsfix I just wish xbox didn't have that security partition that makes series consoles useless without original. Otherwise love your content Steve. All the best and love from South Africa 🇿🇦🎮
I just converted my main OG Xbox One to a Forza Edition complete with correct controllers, it looks purdy all petrol blue and graphics, the startup and shutdown sounds cool as fudge and was a few minutes of work to do so... £4 XOne now worth a few quid more... :D
I enjoy watching your repair videos. If you ever need a PS2 Slim to dona repair video on for nostalgia, let me know. I have one that doesn’t load discs.
Whatever you're going through I hope you feel better and make a full recovery. You're a good dude and I wish you the best
Great to see that you look better. Have the Halo Edition of all xbox`s so far. Love the x360 - Reach Editon.
That's an awesome colletion!
The reach console will ALWAYS be special to me. It was the first 360 I bought while stationed in Iraq. The sounds it makes are a special little touch you dont see often. The color for it is amazing! I just love it.
I was gonna collect them too. So far I have a halo edition OG xbox and a Halo 3 xbox 360 on the blades dash

Hi Steve! Considering someone mismatched the fan and there is actually no startup chime, I believe you have either dead or mismatched SSD on that xbox, not a problem with a HDMI circuit. If thats a case, you wouldnt be able to fix those first boards anyway. Great video!
Yeah i also think that, if that SSD isn't the original one or if is faulty that could be the problem on this XBox.
Doesn't it power right back off if it's an SSD problem? This seems to be keeping the white light on.
The Power Chime can be turned off in Settings
If the SSD is good and you make an image then clone it into a different SSD, would it work?
@@LagrangePoint0 yes, considering you have correct SSD and that specific piece of data is not corrupted and you are actually able to clone it

tutorial i'd like to learn
There’s a soldering course he did linked in the description

Another awesome repair, great job Steve!
This edition is really special and I love the design. Great video. Your videos are always very informative!
Neat to see another one of my favorite You Tubers here too!
I held my breath when you moved those ultra tiny tiny components over. Good work as always.

20:14 - So important to cleanup and inspect after a repair. Fried a few boards by not following this simple step. I tend to even inspect other areas of the board afterwards also. Those components are so small they fly everywhere (9th dimension).
Should sell custom speaker chips that say "I need the perfect amount of thermal paste!"
I'm sure those chips are somehow programmable. That would be amazing!
@@Tronicsfixand controller speaker chips that say “I’m thirsty for some BW-100”.
My Nintendo switch has a weird problem with the charge chip, causing a blue screen of death. I don't know if you've seen that before

Blue screen is usually an issue with cracked solder balls under the APU.

I've owned this Xbox since it was released. It's by far my favorite limited edition console I've ever owned. Never had any issues either 😀
By this point you should have a pretty good sized console collection, you should show it of sometime!

i have been an ebay buyer for 20 years and i can tell you some sellers do not disclose everything that may be wrong so they can sell it. and also read the condition clearly they may put sold as is and you can't dispute that.

Hi Steve. You look great. Just a quick question. Is the original m.2 still on the board?. So far i know it wont work or display without original M.2
As far as I know it's original but I don't know a way of checking that.
