    I Bought a Rare Xbox Worth $600 But It's Broken! I was able to buy this special edition Xbox Series X for only $275... because it's broken. The seller said it doesn't show a picture on the screen which ends up being a difficult issue to track down. I have to get creative with this one.

    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.

    There’s a few things to check for on the series x/s models when they have no video and good known port. I’d first power it on and see if it stays on. If it’s shuts off around 1 minute then it’s mostly likely a bad ssd. (Far as I know, it’s a no fix since there married to the board) With the esd booster I always check the pins with a multimeter, the last 8 or so pins go to the esd booster and when it fails you’ll usually have OL on the pins. Since it doesn’t have the 5 volts, I’d say the transistor the seats a little below the esd booster is bad. That’s supplies the 5 volts. I’ve only had one have a bad transistor that I’ve worked on.

    "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.
