Most common XBOX Repairs
XBOX HDMI Port Replacement
HDMI port replacement is one of the most common XBOX Repairs we do. Faulty HDMI will result in a black screen or "No Signal" showing on your TV or monitor. As long as the light on your XBOX turns to steady white colour, there is a very good chance that replacing the HDMI will fix the problem.
We always replace and never attempt to repair the HDMI port. In some cases, the pads on the motherboard can get damaged if the unit was dropped or mishandled. With our experience, we can usually rebuild the missing pads and get your XBOX up and running again.
Apart from the HDMI port, the common problem causing the XBOX not to show on TV is a faulty “HDMI Re-timer” chip. That is also something we can fix in most cases.
XBOX Overheating & Turning Off
We had numerous calls and reports of XBOX One turning off after an hour or two of playing. We found that to be caused by the CPU in your XBOX overheating and shutting off to prevent any damage.
The cause of XBOX Overheating is a combination of a collection of dust in the console, as well as the thermal paste between the CPU and the heatsink drying out and not covering the entire surface of the CPU. We will give your XBOX a thorough detailed clean and replace the thermal paste on the CPU. This will prevent your console from overheating and shutting off.
Bluray Disc Drive Repairs
Even though not as common as the previous two issues, we are already getting a number of XBOX consoles for Bluray disc drive repair. Of course, you will not experience this problem if you gave the "digital version" of Xbox Onse S or Xbox Series S without the disc drive.
The most common problem with the disc drives is the laser, the electronic component responsible for reading the Bluray discs. It can fail for no obvious reason, but more often is a result of not keeping your discs clean. The faulty laser will have to be replaced. Another common problem we are seeing is the mechanism of the disc drive failure due to foreign objects inserted into the disc drive.
File System Corruptions
The Hard Drive corruption is very common on all models of XBOX One consoles. In some cases we can fix it by reinstalling the operating system, but more often we need to replace the hard drive.
The best way to prevent system corruption is to make sure you perform the complete shutdown procedure before you unplug the console from the power. Also, ensure you never unplug the console or interrupt the system update process.
The symptoms of a faulty hard drive on XBOX One include various error messages, black screen or the unit shutting off after a minute or two.
