    Premature wear due to bad design on Xbox X


    Hi,

    My sons Xbox X (purchased February 2022) stopped working, we thought it might be the HMDI port so put it into our local computer shop for an HDMI port replacement and hoover out.

    The Engineer Report is:

    Port tracks broken on board as well as broken wafer. Replaced 7 tracks and 2 pads, new HDMI, still no video output. Shorted HDMI Output IC.

    They have said they would provide a letter to say that this is premature wear due to bad design and that Microsoft should offer to repair or replace, even though we are out of warranty, as they have seen this issue with other Xbox X's just with moving from 1 room to another.

    Has anyone else had any luck with taking this up with Microsoft. I have tried find a way of contacting them, other than phone, but other than pay £284.46 from their repair or replace service, I've not had much luck.

    Lynne

    Broken games due to bad coding/design

    @ Mr Charmer I think its fair to say you wont be dissapointed, I have done three playthroughs so far and found new routes, area, secrets every single time. The chaos system is cool as well, but you dont notice it until a few playthroughs. Still got a
    couple of plays to do as well which im looking forward to, An Uber violent one and one where I dont use any of the enhancements, should be fun!! One of the best games so far this year for me. I have three weeks off at Crimbo as well to batter my thumbs
    even more than usual, who need Crimbo TV anyway?

    I like Dragon's Dogma but due to having to travel long distances without a mount with very limited quick travel causes me to end up falling asleep at my controller. Perhaps I need more caffeine?

    Thinking about it... I guess I like games to keep themselves interesting at all times or otherwise I might end up getting a bit sleepy during sections that come across a bit dull.

    Will certainly hold back before buying a 3rd if they do one.

    I still really enjoyed it as a sinple player game but like you definately wouldn't rush in to buy another title.
