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.

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
How you feeling man? Praying for you in my household. You're my go to for repairs man. Makes my day better and helps me realign for the day.
Keep pushing through mate , you have got this man , hope you feel better .
I am on the hunt for the mythical SpongeBob Xbox if a broken one ever pops up.
I didn't even know that existed until I read your comment. I am also now on the hunt, lol. BUT I'm looking for a broken one.
On the off chance I find one I’m sending it over for the video
They have a SpongeBob Xbox? 😂
It’s brand new btw
@@TronicsfixI found it on eBay but I can’t send the link here,it keeps deleting
I love how most of the fixes starts with some nasty gunk underneath the surface 🤣
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.
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 🙏
Another awesome repair, great job Steve!
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!
18:20 Really liked this side by side segment!
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
Dude best Friday so far new upload I've been watching all you're recent videos
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.
nevermind about the xbox, followed up your blog about your health instead. awesome that you beat the illness.fingers crossed it stays this way.
I just saw & figured something was up & sorry to hear what been going on so Godbless & I pray you get cured. Take care.
Glad to see you getting better! Is there any chance we can ask for a guide to thermal paste on youtube?
Enjoyed your thorough breakdown during the repair process, especially when diagnosing the HDMI problem. Wish the original motherboard could have been fixed.
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.
Man Kudos to You! I fixed many consoles, but that "Sniff" is what I try to avoid every time and U just go for it XD!
Respect !!
Glad to see the swelling has gone down brotha!! Wishing the best and a speedy recovery!! Love your content keep it up 👍
Nice xbox steve! great video as always!!!!
Thanks! Yeah, this is a cool one.
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!
Love your content! Best wishes to you From Finland 🙏❤
I would keep that one, just because of all the work you put into it.
The great TronicsFix tore some pads! I'm amazed. Lol just playing. Love your content steve!
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.
Hoping all is well with you! Love all your videos! I learn so much from them.
Hope you are doing good and staying strong healthwise.
That was an adventure. So happy it worked at the end!
Dude awesome!!! That swap was amazing!
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!
3:02 I'm pretty sure that Fan IS an original fan as the one you are thinking of is for a different special edition xbox console
This is what the fan should look like in these: ua-cam.com/video/uL2DvzP-dvQ/v-deo.htmlsi=ulwztSXnjm9LGC5y&t=238
@@Tronicsfix ahh i see, never mind then. disregard my comment above then
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.
just found out about your condition, praying for your healthy recovery, god and jesus bless your brother, get well soon :)
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 😀
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
You can make the white dots on the fan with some white nail polish!
A great console and a great repair as usual. Hope you're doing better now.
I swear you've fixed 1 of these before 😂😂😂😂 I'd love to know how you keep finding these ❤❤❤
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.
14:27 when was the hardware revision made on the series x and are there any benefits to newer revisions? I can’t find anything online about it.
By this point you should have a pretty good sized console collection, you should show it of sometime!
Im no repairman but when the HDMI showed no sign of life I would check the PSU supply area. Great job overall as always tho!
I wish youu all the best my friend stay strong a keep your head up.Tnx so much for your briliant videos
I have the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X, & the Gears 5 Xbox One X. I waiting for a limited edition Series X to drop that I liked the style off before going next gen. Happy to know it's becoming rare!
What do you think of the Gears 5 One X? Rare or not really?
Long time viewer & happy to see you still going mate. Be strong!
Can't believe you skipped over the perfect amount of thermal paste when reassembling or did you not change it? 😮😂
I have this exact console
It's such a cool console!
Nice that you are using your toothbrush for the job
God bless you and your family glade your fighting the good fight best wishes to you and you wife and family🙏🏽 love your videos
Been watching this guy for long time what happen is he okay 😢
How are you bro? we really missed you❤❤❤❤❤
wonderful work as always :)
"Let me clean my pick before you guys complain about it" 2024, Steve knows his audience 😂
There’s not much this man can’t fix takes the time to break the repairs down properly so everyone can understand too videos 👍🏻

That console is sick!!!
Excellent work.
Do you think you could do a tear down on the “Onexplayer X1 AMD gaming handheld” I’d love to see it via you!!!
At this point, I think this line of work is actually bio hazardous.
Thanks for the videos and hope you're doing well 👍
hope you get well 🥰 stay strong stick to god
An old video? I feel like you posted this one on Facebook already and i thought your hair was coming back in
I wish.. but i could never do this... U Sir are a Saint... More power to u... An i am praying for you 🙏 hope an pray 🙏 u make a full recovery.. an if u are ever interested... I have.. plenty consoles i need cleaned one or two repaired.. i even have some older games like Sega Genesis an Sega CD.. i have original Nintendo.. og Xbox needs caps.. the famous caps.. that go out please 🥺🥺
Keep going 💪🏻 brother 💪🏻
😮 impressive work!!!
just do the fan with spray paint sprinkle , easy fix
Funny, the normal Xbox series x is $650 here in Canada
If I buy a refurbished controller I would really want the sticks swapped out for hall effect sticks.
Amazing work!!!
The screen did turn black in the beginning
HOW do you damage a system that much?
I am beyond words at how someone could be that careless. 🤯
Wasn't there a special Porsche themed Xbox that wasn't for sale anyway?
I think I heard something about that.
yeah for cleaning analog sticks is it not easier to take them completely out of the shell of the controller to then clean the inner most part of it where the analog sticks are and get the gonk out that way as well and or clean the under part of the shell as well?
Glad to see you didnt “flux it up” too much?? 😂😂😂
Lol
Nice I have this got it at launch had to have it 🔥 I’ve got all the gears of war consoles was hoping for a gears series x 🔥
Good job 👏
U need the box for the box so u can get the max money if u sell it
Great video really cool fix. Could you do some gaming monitors videos. I bought a sceptre 240hz monitor for $15 bucks that has no picture but backlights work and has sound. I found a shorted zener diode that i removed and got rid of short on little panel board but cannot find replacement diode. Do you know how to find the value of the diode?
God bless bro appreciate ya
The links for BW 100 don't work?
I can't find any new booster chip. Where did you get it from.
For now I use a mod instead of the booster. I Made a live stream on it.
Epic fix! 👍👍😁
Good job! 😊
It's great to see you looking better. I enjoy your videos. Keep going, tiger!👍👍
Very disappointed not to see the perfect amont of thermal paste! 🤪
I wonder what the story with the fan is.
Yeah, I wonder too. Such a bummer that it’s not the original
@@Tronicsfix I would ask for a partial refund and maybe spray paint the fan from a distance to recreate the colors
link to the hdmi tester please, im interested in buying it
What are the settings for your hot air rework station?
I love your videos ❤
I have a Xbox Series X that won’t turn on, where can I take it to get fixed or sell it ?
Couldn't you just put parts from another one in it? Are they different inside? Obviously get parts that have same memory and whatever.
I will say this
I learned about BW100 from Steve
It does work like he says. It won't clean your controllers if you are just a gross person but just normal use dirt and grim.. it works great
They made a SpongeBob special edition Xbox Series X that was through Best Buy only.
Is it possible to selllrr could have swapped out the innards from the original and replaced it with old parts?
Does BW-100 smell like WD40? I can never get the WD40 smell out of my nose after using it 😣
Oohhhh censoring.
Hey idk if you'll see this but if you do I hope I can get advice for my Nintendo switch that doesn't turn on, and when it does it'll show no battery symbol, even when I tried different charging cords and now I don't know what to do.
At first when you pulled the fan out i was thinking a shell swap they swapped the internals but why not take the outer case as well but then it would be obvious that it wouldn’t be the special edition console
actually i have to say that this product placement with a demonstration on a controller i cool and feels not invaisve!
That was my goal. Glad it worked for at least one person, lol
@@Tronicsfix it realy did, best of everything from Poland! :)
My ps5 just shut off and won't turn back on,, do you think it is the power cord or the power supply?? Could someone please help,, it's only 6 months old
xbox consoles hdmi ports have always problems , so xbox user everything you conect a hdmi cable be careful
"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.
Yep, same! Something you never forget
@@SmokeGSU did you take it anyway?
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.
Whats the smell similar to? I've always been curious and never want to actually find out lol
