BROKEN Taco Bell Xbox One X - But Can I Save The Bell?! This Taco Bell Limited Edition Xbox One X cost $168 (plus shipping) on eBay and, according to the seller, has a power on/off issue. The Xbox has clearly been opened before and seems like it might be having an overheating issue when I try to start it up.

Here's another really cool special edition Xbox One X that I tried to fix: czcams.com/video/zrvMh4vQPVM/video.html
I need to get my controller fixed. One of the triggers is loose. Where can I send it too so u can fix it.
I love when iFixit is the sponsor as they really do have awesome products.
Can I purchase this Xbox from you? Please
You used too much thermal paste
Had me sweating with the speaker 😂
That ebay seller wasn't completely honest. "I was playing it one day and it just stopped working." They didn't mention they lost half the screws and attacked the APU cooler with a screwdriver lol
this, it was lowkey a scam. He probably tried fixing something, had no idea what he was doing, and sold it off as "suddenly stopped working"
@@HearMeLearn Yep, that description was a complete lie. That console was severly abused.
@@HearMeLearn More likely, it had a legitimate overheating problem at first so the owner took it to somebody that claimed they could fix it. Turned out that they had no f'n idea what they were doing and damaged the system's heatsink in the process while forgetting to replace the thermal paste they scraped off... The owner had no idea that was the extent of the "repair" and proceeded to game on it; further damaging the APU in the process.
Is there any way to prove it to eBay? I’m sick of this crap.
@@antonyc.7173 Bro you copied and pasted someone else's exact comment
The reason why the original board didn't work is you forgot to add the perfect amount of hot sauce on the board.
Oh, true. Didn't even think about that.
Bruh 🤦🏽♂️ could that be true? I thought he was missing something 😂
Wow, I think the no thermal paste ended up damaging something. Good thing the bell sound and components were saved.
Thanks! This was a fun one.
23hs what
I doubt heat alone would kill it. Pretty much every modern CPU/GPU/APU/whatever will turn itself off to expressly prevent damage caused by heat. Heck, most chips these days are perfectly fine running 80-90c all day, every day. From what the seller describes it sounds like it just died. I'm guessing he took it apart after that so while not putting thermal paste certainly didn't help anything, it probably wasn't the cause of the overall failure.
I think they decided to not put any inside because it still wasn't working... But that scraped heatsink was awful
From what i saw on my laptop as we as a qhd and 4k screen the apu had a black spot as if it was burned or blown
Hearing the “DONG” as you were troubleshooting was way funnier than it should have been. Great video, as always!
I'll tell you exactly what happened to this Xbox:
It had a legitimate overheating problem at first so the owner took it to somebody that claimed they could fix it. Turned out that they had no f'n idea what they were doing and damaged the system's heatsink in the process while forgetting to replace the thermal paste they _scraped_ off... The owner had no idea that was the extent of the "repair" and proceeded to game on it; further damaging the APU in the process.
This looks like a word for word copy of what I've seen over the years on this channel
Not to mention I find it hard to validate your comment considering the condition if it and lack of information backing up with your story
@@the_mancavewithjacob The hell are you talking about? I just made an educated guess because I, myself, also repair stuff.
@@the_mancavewithjacob Maybe because that's most times the case? Either the owner or a repair show that don't know what they are doing try to fix it and they completely f it up.
OMG, what a nailbiter! I was on the edge of my seat thinking you were going to over-shoot it, but nope, the perfect amount of thermal paste as always. I'm sorry for doubting you.
*When the speaker delaminated, that was actually a good thing. It's probably how it was originally installed. That small board it was on was probably attached to the mainboard, then the wires were soldered to it, and then it was glued to the speaker board.*
Following that way, you could have repaired it closer to factory...
He did it better anyway 😅
@@darkzeronemesis497 homie he used tape 💀 not that it was bad but it certainly wasn’t better lmao
@@romulofigueroadiaz480 high temp tape probably he smarter then you already thinking ahead 🤷🏼♂️
You're very fortunate! The ability to dispense the perfect amount of thermal paste cannot be learned. It is innate to the individual. A rare talent to be sure. Good video!
The legend says, if you put the perfect amount of thermal paste, your device will work as new even after a decade of everyday use.
Ha, ha, this is true!
🤣🤣🤣🤣gets me everytime
amazing how you were able to save that sound! nice work! another special edition saved from the scrap pile!
Holy cow... When I saw the reflection on that cpu I thought it was scorched. My heart skipped a beat
Yes, back to consoles! Thanks and keep em coming.
Glad you're enjoying these!
Oh man that was a cool transition at 15:00! I almost missed what you said because I was so stunned by the idea that the PCB might have a flap, until I realized it was some editing magic!
Good video, I've been distracted by this unpopulated M.2 slot most of it, but I managed to see the most important parts of them all : saving this speaker and the perfect amount of thermal paste that ascended twice !
I love the halo effect when putting on the perfect amount of thermal paste. Please keep it going!
That was a great video. Really enjoyed all the extra work you put into it to get it repaired. Thanks TronicsFix
Hey Steve!! Solid video! I've seen this on/off issue before caused by the PMIC. It's the same chip that supplies 3.3v to the redriver.
Edit: Also congrats moving over that speaker!! I am impressed :) Good job Man!!!
That speaker swap was magnificent, great job TronicsFix
Pretty cool to see the bell sound preserved. Great work.
Hey steve, love your videos! I started watching your channel recently and have been inspired to learn how to fix up old electronics. :) I just ordered my first broken game boy sp and can't wait until it comes in.
Love it! Just keep practicing and you'll get it!
Man, i have such a huge respect for your work! This microsoldering job! you are so awesome!! Greetings From Germany. Keep on what you are doing!
This is awesome 👍👍👍 I'm new at the channel but it is so relaxing watching you do all that fixing
I loved the reference saying "Better than factory"! Love seeing support between same-category channels instead of stepping on each other to gain more audience. You know, like video game youtubers tend to do.
Awesome job Steve glad you were able to keep the taco bell sound.
I enjoyed this video, got excited when I heard the chime lol. Great work!
This was such a cool looking console! I was sad that the color fade design wasn’t sold as it’s own console.
Great Video Steve. I love the final part, when you remove and install the special edition speaker in other console, so just rings a bell xD. So cool.
That part was difficult but so nice when I heard that bell!
Nice job saving the speaker. Also, diggin' the background music.
Another great repair you got a good chuckle out of me from the title of the video love watching these repairs
Glad you enjoyed it
I always wonder why some systems are easier to break down. I've had my base ps4 since launch and it's still chugging along. Even survived having my little sister spill water all over it while I was playing a game.
Okay this is cool. I respect keeping the special edition alive!
Glad to see you back repairing consoles
Love watching these, your content is truly incredible!
I appreciate that!
Wow, great stuff Steve. That was dicey but what a result.
I didn't actually know it made the taco bell noise now I'm buying one 🤣
you are not like the others who puts link filled with adds, so u deserve to be subscribed..... thanks for the plugin and all the best for future
Love your videos my good sir. I'm gunna replace my thermal paste in my PS4 pro and give it good cleaning causes it's been overheating and occasionally turns off while I play. Your videos give me courage to do it thank you again Steve
You're inspiring me to learn how to fix my broke xbox one x! Thanks dude
These videos are inspiring me to wanna try this kind of stuff for myself
Nice video Steve, as always keep it up mate. PS: Will you do more videos in the future featuring your farm (property)?
That just got worse and worse as the video went on lol. Very impressed you got it working by the end!
I love how this video took a turn for the better. With that being said, could you actually install a chime that says “the perfect amount of thermal paste” on TronicsFix Edition Consoles 😁?
Installing the bell sound was a real challenge imo
Removing and replacing that speaker was a pain!
Dude, this is the only video that works. Thanks for posting!
I like the new edits you’ve been doing though man have they been tripping me up some times I’m like did he just fold this junk and then I’m like ahh a pretty seamless edit
this video was really interesting. Always thought it used the default speaker and just different firmware for the sound. This is very interesting i bet other special edition console can be saved too.
Ya, that was interesting to me as well. It is good to know this trick for other special editions. Another reason why Xbox special editions are the best.
Wasn't that basically how the Xbox 360 limited edition sounds worked? I vaguely remember something about being able to change those sounds with modified consoles.
@@thomasmathew13 possibly, tbh I'm a pc gamer so I don't know anything about the Xbox 360
Lmao the video effects when putting on thermal paste made my day keep up the great work
Im glad I'm back to a point where I can watch your videos on my Friday lunch break!
Me too!
wow... I really couldn't believe the speaker did what it used to do! man, that was pretty cool. I had to rewind a bit and turn up my speakers to hear the chime and I was like, "Holy crap!" i looked over to my left at my lady and i was like, "did you...?" she was asleep lol
the, no thermal paste...? dang...
so many times you have done the unthinkable and pulled it off. you are what it's all about. Thanks again! :)
Really liked this video, it’s very entertaining to watch when you challenge yourself 😁
That speaker swap was really cool!
Awesome Video Awesome news that you were able to save the bell sound tronicsfix
You are growing so fast man
You are a magical warlock, amazing work Sir.
I laughed way too hard at the taco bell sound at the beginning XD. That is just awesome!!
The light when he applied the perfect amount of thermal paste on the replacement board lol
I like the special edition consoles. There are so many different styles
Yes, I love the Xbox special editions. They go above and beyond with their designs & custom sounds.
@@Tronicsfix how are they commenting hours ago when the vid realse 20 mins ago
@@No3H Your mother checks all your videos for swear words first. She loves you.
Excellent save!! Well done.
I wonder if you can attach your own startup audio in the Xbox and have it function. What if it played the SAO Link Start jingle or even the tune from this video?
Looking forward to see replacing apu on these boards video (just for fun). look like you got a lot of these "broken apu" board lying around.
Always enjoy your Videos. Some of this boxes you buy seem to have odd issues, Just wondering Can the Vbios be hacked by people. I know it can be done with Graphics cards, Can something be done like that with Consoles???
How can someone NOT put thermal paste on an APU/CPU/GPU when removing the old one. Even those guys who blasphemously mix new thermal paste with the old at least know that there needs to be something there also that guy who "repaired" the Xbox needs to be nowhere near any DIY tools or repair shop he mangled a heatsink by scraping thermal paste off it with what was probably a screw driver or a tweezer or something then he didn't bother replacing it and didn't even fully clean off the old one which fried the whole Xbox MOBO
Imo that is what probably killed the APU. Either the seller bought it that way not knowing or sold it that way knowing it was toast do to INCOMPETENCE.
Wow, funnily enough I bought an exact copy of your Taco Bell Xbox last year, same symptoms. Mine wasn't previously opened by the previous owner, however. The ebay listing noted it just stopped turning on one day.. Put it on my project shelf after not being able to properly diagnose it after checking all the same things you did. Just strange coincidence that your taco bell xbox had the same thing that happened to mine! Thanks for the tips on what needs to be transferred, definitely going to do that and revive mine
Good luck fixing it
In the setup, appreciate the videos! Maybe a dumb question but is there a way to export content in mono in soft20?
I wonder if you could flash a chip to play any sound byte, that would be a pretty cool mod
Oh yeah!! Thanks for posting Steve!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Great stuff yet again!!!. Have a great weekend
YES!!!! I've always wondered if there was a way to get the speaker working in normal edition! I sugest searching for damaged god of war ps4 pro, it would be awesome.
have you ever tried reflowing or reballing the apu's? I remember the 360 days when people heated them up lots of different ways and they worked.. for a very short while.
I was half expecting some crispy critters when you opened up a Taco Bell themed Xbox.
making a normal xbox sound like a special one was very interesting i actually suprised that it worked i thought it will be like putting in a disc drive to a ps5 digital edition
I was sooo glad when it made the sound!
Congratulations on your 1M Sir
Your videos are really good to watch steve keep up the good work
Thanks! Glad you like them!
@@Tronicsfix np and have you try to upload 2 videos a week
nothing about the seller clearly lying about the condition?
that is one of the worse things on ebay. -not as described. -i swear it just shut off while i waw doing research for my boy scout project!
eBay can be crazy that's for sure.
Not as described is the best thing about ebay, either they pay to have it sent hack and you get your money or they don't respond to the return request and you get it for free
I admired very much for your skill in fixing console
Hey thanks!
i will never get bored of watching these videos
So glad you enjoy them!
New animations are better than the old ones, those sounded really bad through my earphones. Thanks for changing it!
Lmaoooo!!!! That sound is halarious... I cant believe they put the bell sound for startup. I havent laughed that hard in awhile
Just mid way when you said "turned in" i was thinking at that moment to turn that thing in to taco bell and they can have it back lol.
We got 2 perfect thermal paste jobs in one video, what a good way to start your weekend.
Great video lad keep up with the good work
Thanks, will do!
You should do a video of all your best bloopers😂
That would be funny!
As a pro fix it fellow, what are your thoughts on manual screwdrivers vs similar sized small powered ones?
You know, I've always wondered where that bell sound effect in meme videos came from, and now I know :P (We do have Taco Bell here in the UK, but there's not enough branches for it to really be advertised on TV, nearly 110 in total, with most of them in London)
Still a nice promotional piece of hardware :)
That Taco Bell Start Up sound is too comical 😂😂😂 (I bet this will turn into a meme soon )
Nerves of steel and the patience that a Buddhist monk would envy. That speaker would've been a blob of goo by the tiime I was done with it.
You are a mad scientist!!! It's Alive! The FrankenTacoBox!!
Great work Steve, Long live the bell 🔔
Thanks 👍
Something interesting, looking up ISD comes up with a product line called chipcorder, is a all in one audio record/playback IC. could this mean if we found a compatible IC we could have custom Xbox one start chimes?
It wouldn't be too hard to just get a off the shelf one and wire it to detect power status and play a tiny mp3 or pcm audio on a sdcard lol
Another awesome repair...🙂
Liked this Video. U were very natural:)
I agree that this was an issue with the apu but did you also check the hdmi connector on the other motherboard?
Great video Steve, pity it didn't go the way you hoped, but least you saved the taco DONG...
You saved history. Bravo. 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Keep it up with high quality videos
Thanks, will do!
We’ll done good sir!!! What a save !
I've got one of these Taco Bell X's. Re-pasted it and swapped in a 2TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD. But it didn't power on after I was done working on it and I never got around to troubleshooting it. I really need to as that gong is killer.
The Taco Bell sound 🛎 🌮 is so 🔥
Perfect amount of thermal paste is perfect
