😣 This Xbox One S was feeling a little unwell... Slow and sometimes not waking up. Don't worry, it didn't have COVID-19, but it did have a failing hard drive.

We replaced the hard drive and thermal paste, and now the Xbox is feeling like new again. Let us know if your console is unwell - we can help 😎

This Nintendo Switch was a challenge! It came in with the issue of no power, no charge. Plug the console in and it was pulling 0A - absolutely nothing. The charge port was fine, no bent or damaged pins.

I removed the mainboard and noticed 2 spots of corrosion, and had to replace a number of components that were burnt, shorting and failed. I thought the chances of this thing coming back to life was about 20%.

After replacing a number of components, it was still pulling 0A and there was no voltage coming out of M92T36. I replaced M92T36 and the issue persisted. I noticed when powered that the capacitor above PI3USB was shorting (an active short - only when power was going through the circuit). I replaced PI3USB and the console started pulling 0.4A and we had 5V at the battery terminals!

I'm glad I kept persisting with this one and the customer is very happy!
