Repair Shop Destroys Xbox Series X HDMI - Let's Fix It! A viewer named John sent this Xbox Series X to a repair company for HDMI port repair but the company said they couldn't fix it because it had too many broken traces. So John sold the console to me for $400 so I could make this video trying to fix it.

Man. I know you would never throw another company under the bus, regardless of how terrible their repair skills are. But I wish we could know what company it was so we could all stay away from them.

@Tokahax 2 года назад

As an owner of a private repair shop, I emplore anyone in need of repairs to ensure that diagnostics are free or very close to it. Anyone who's competent would rather have you as a repeat customer than steal away a bill from you.

@Tronicsfix 2 года назад

Yep, exactly. I’m fine with a small diagnostic fee but the the entire price of a repair

@tjmarx 2 года назад

Diagnostics are part of the quote process. Someone who wants to charge you to tell you how much they'll charge you isn't worth your time.

@InsertGame1 2 года назад

When i did computer repair, the shop i worked for had a standard $25 fee, just to cover some of the time we would need to check out the computer to see what was wrong. No fix, no charge as well. No one seemed to have any issue with this.

@lookitskazzy 2 года назад

repair attempt/diagnostic fees are to cover YOUR time for taking a look at the item, disassembly/reassembly, doing research, etc. why sell yourself short by giving labor away for free? 99 is a bit high but it's not unreasonable to charge between 25 to 50. even that is probably too low given operating costs etc. but people are cheap these days.

😲They definitely damaged the port removing it. The design of the port on this console makes it pretty unlikely to damage pads even when you break it. The only time I have seen ripped pads on this console so far is from attempted removal with inadequate equipment, skill, or knowledge. Nice save!

@cubiczar6917 2 года назад

@@witebatman This is a small claims court issue. The value is pretty low and in small claims you can just represent yourself. Whether or not it is worth your time to do so is another question though. Also I would imagine the threshold would be "preponderance of evidence" instead of beyond a reasonable doubt. I think most (if not all) civil cases use the preponderance threshold whereas criminal cases use the beyond a reasonable doubt threshold. They would still have some issues trying to prove that the repair show did it, would likely need to bring in some form of witness to testify to the fact that traces don't just rip themselves off of boards or something. I don't imagine most judges have a lot of electronics repair knowledge so they'd have to be educated in some way to see why it was likely the shop did the damage themselves.

I have only destroyed one furnace in my 16 years of fixing and testing components. That's one of the few jobs I have never charged the customer for the work. I already had to deliver the news the furnace died during my testing so there was no point in trying to get a diagnostic fee. Others clearly don't feel the same way.

The most wires I've ever had to add to a HDMI port in place of traces was 6. Getting them to solder to the traces and getting a stable signal within HDMI spec was rough. Gotta hand it to you. I probably wouldn't have bothered. Especially since this is HDMI 2.0. The signal margin on those is ridiculous.

Hello, You should cut the trace under your wire (strap0) between the connector pins and your soldering. It may creates reflections on the TDMS pairs. To avoid mismatch impedance you should place your strap closer to the HDMI connector.

But a business? Well that is apparently fine. Ain't capitalism grand? Profit through whatever means you can get away with.

So i guess they wont be fixing anything then since the most devices have these sort of things. honestly I think its because they wouldnt make enough off the repair so they didn't wanna bother with it. wich is a shame because I had plenty of other things I was gonna bring. in the end I "fixed" it but putting tape over the clamp and letting a part push down on it lol.
