Game/console collectors thread

Any shorts across those caps in the pic?
No idea. Only tested as per dozens of repair guys suggest on YouTube. This kind of stuff is out of my league :ROFL:

Tested for short to ground on 12v rail, positive.

Than tested continuity / resistance of mosfets as per youtube and found that one to be dead.

They suggest that replacing the dead mosfet solves the problem 99% of the time.

Are you talking about the caps above the coils? Between coils and apu?

Have not tested them, don't know how.

Will test the diodes as well after work below the mosfets.


Reason for asking here if someone will be able to replace that mosfet (with payment of course), who do it as a hobby is to see if that fix the no power issue or not without other parts replacement. If it works my son will be happy, if it does not work that's okay as well.

Repair shops want to do full assessments (understandably) and that is very expensive.

Hope this helps?
 
Hi guys.

Any of you dabble in board repairs?

Sons Xbox One S died. Tested the power supply, all good.

Tested the mosfets continuity and according to youtube this one as per picture circled is moertoe.

Anyone have a scope and skill to replace? With payment of course.

No warranty required. If it works, it works. If not, to the bin.

Let me know

Sorted by this awesome gent right here. Very quick, professional and affordable.

If anyone of you ever need any console repairs or modding done, @Cowboy619 is your man.

Excellent service from Slingshot Repairs.

Thanks dude
 
On the subject of collecting, one thing that always grinds my gears the wrong way is how Nintendo Switch bundles & triple packs almost always only include the 1st game.

Think the only physical that I own that contains both games where Cat Quest 1 + 2. Ironically the Trilogy edition only includes the 1st game.

What is the use of buying a bundle if you still need an internet install for the rest?
