This Xbox came in like this. Looks like a noob tried to remove this HDMI port.
First step was to cut off all the loose traces.
Then I scratched & tinned all the traces
Tinned the HDMI port pins, so they have solder on them already
Then installed port.
Then ran jumpers for each pin using 42 gauge jumper wire: https://amzn.to/3HzghIe
Then got it all working!
Took me maybe 30 min of work.
What do you think of my jumpers?
If you have a Seek Thermal Cam, you're missing out if you don't have a VCC Seek Stand: https://www.vccboardrepairs.com/buy-seek-stand
Injured Gadgets just got these back in stock, so get them while you can!
It can take us a while to build these out sometimes, so they're sometimes out of stock for a while, but we're working towards always having inventory ready to build more as they sell out.
This stand makes using a thermal cam so easy. So much better than any other thermal solution on the market.
It allows you to get real close up (using my Macro Lens), and easily find where the short is coming from.
Plus it's hard free, so you can have your hands free to try to boot the device from DCPS, while having an image that is in focus & not moving around.
You can even record a video through the app, while you inject voltage into the short, so you can go back & see exactly which component was it that was heating up.
Save yourself lots of time by getting a Seek Cam, Stand & Macro Lens! ...
Anyone who is doing game console repairs, knows how many screws you need to remove to access the motherboard.
Especially the PS5, with the 5,000 screws or so.
If you don't already have an electric screwdriver, GET ONE ASAP.

On this episode of.... "I ran my phone through the washing machine", I walk through the full process of diagnosing & fixing the fault, causing this Samsung not to turn on.
The only way to get data from this phone is to power it on, so we have to fix the board issue.
First, we found a short before prompt to boot.
Then we use the thermal camera to track down the true culprit.
Watch the full video here:
Have you ran into this before? iPhone 12 Pro Max that was ran over by an excavator is now saying it's overheating
When it's truly not..
There's "simple" fix for this issue, which I show in my new video:
For most all other iPhone models, the false temp warning issue will be from the charging port flex. But on the 12PM, there are 2 resistors on the bottom board that can disconnect when the phone is smashed
And the only way to fix it would be board level.
Watch my video to learn how to diagnose, troubleshoot & fix this problem
