  1. Can I swap the hdmi chip/retimer from two different consoles?


    I have two Xboxes. One has water damage and won’t turn on. The other is stuck in 480p and can’t go to any higher resolutions.

    Resources online tell me I have to learn electronic repairing and how to solder to be able to it.

    Before doing any of this, I just want to know if it would be feasible to exchange parts from the Xboxes

    :)

    Can I swap the hdmi chip/retimer from two different consoles?

    they should be the same part, it is usually that what causes hdmi failure and they use the same cheap chip in all of them, i think the series uses the exact same too.

    You would be better taking to a local pc repair shop, they can do it faster and safer.

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    If you have soldering and electronic repair skills, it could be feasible to change the HDMI chips or retimers from two different Xbox consoles, but this is not advised. Any mistakes or damage sustained during the swap could result in additional problems or leave the consoles useless because the HDMI chip or retimer is a delicate component.

    Additionally, there may be other problems with the consoles in addition to the HDMI chip or retimer, thus changing the component may not always solve the issue. It might be worthwhile to try to fix both consoles if they are out of warranty and you have experience with electronic repairs, but you must do so carefully and deliberately to prevent causing further harm.

    Hi Josh, yes i've tried two different HDMI cables and in the two different HDMI ports in my TV and I get nothing. I've also tried plugging my laptop via those HDMI cables and they work fine with TV. After searching a bit on internet, my guess is the HDMI
    retimer chip needs changing, unless there is other waysor other tricks to try before changing a chip.

    Thanks
