    Audio sounds great Joey. As someone who preps and reassembles boards full time, I rarely see a series x look like that. Usually there’s no visible damage and it takes years of experience to quickly find the short, making these xbox no powers hardly worth it in the grand scheme of things if you’re a large scale brick and mortar shop. I respect that you even tried that. I love this series!

    A friend of myne gave me his Xbox one X as he messed up a hdd to ssd upgrade. basically, he ripped off the port for the front usb from the motherboard.
    He didnt notice parts of the old connector still on the board shorting out the xbox.
    After a clean of the board it worked, but no pair button or front usb as it was not worth repairing 20 traces on the board.
    However, after a few months, i attempted to find the pair buttons traces and attempt a repair.
    good news is the pair button works, but the usb on the front doesnt. no problem as there are 2 on the back. A massive win for me.

    If something is water damaged it has to be taken apart and dried inmediatelly, if you wait it happens what happened to that poor switch lite, something fixable becomes unfixable, thats why water is so dangerous in electronics, it happened to me with a liquid damaged gameboy advance, those amazing little handhelds are almost unbreakable, but if corrosion eats through the board and traces... Nice video Joey.

    Hey Joey. Tough luck with this batch unfortunately... Better luck next time! And as for the audio... It's not bad and I can understand you perfectly, but I think that the ANC is way too aggressive as I can only hear your voice. All of the other sounds are completely drowned or gone. I'd like to hear the multimeter beep and the hot air gun hum. But, that's just me... I'd like to hear also what others think about this.

    WELL hold on a second!
    First off: The Xbox Series X is pretty bad - and most likely a "parts" unit - but there is a rather - "interesting" way of trying to fix it - where you basically find a written off board and cut out a square and "simply" replace a part of the board. I've seen it done and work - though never with a MOSFET. It was a very skilled tech I saw do it, and basically he removed all the components, then used a set of what looked like different color nail polish, and then pre-cut color coated everything which needed to be connected in the area which ended out - what I'm guessing - being like 20 different colors. It was a lot.. So it might be a fun project - but don't count on it working 😀Still - it might!
    The Switch however! 35£ is actually a bet I would take. See the way this most likely died was it being left in a wet place - SO - chances are most of the most expensive parts of the board actually works. At least you can play around with taking the main chips and reusing them - though it will take some re-balling or whatever the English word for that is. You know - the tiny solder balls. Also - the screen might actually be ok as well - and the shell looks pretty great - which is also like a 15-20$ part in that state... and I'm sure a lot of the other chips are good as well if you take the time to test them. Also the sticks might be good if you clean them properly... It's not really a bad buy at 35£ m8.
