* Why Choose Us For The Best Xbox Repair
Let’s take a look at the modern Xbox models that are currently available in the market – the Xbox one series of gaming consoles.
The first version of the Xbox ones was released in late 2013 as a rival for the PlayStation 4, and the replacement for the Xbox 360; which had remained under Microsoft’s support since 2005.
It features a 1.75GHz 8-core AMD CPU, AMD integrated graphics, 8GB Ram (DDR3), Blue-ray player, and a 500 GB HDD.
Later models, the Xbox One S, and the Xbox One X were released August 2016 and November 2017 respectively.
The newer models improved on graphics by introducing HDR and 4K support for video and gameplay, and performance in terms of CPU output, Ram, connectivity, and storage.
The most significant improvement the S and X models made on the Xbox is HDR and 4K support; features that next-gen games had begun implementing in their releases at the time. For more information, check out the full models’ specs

As a gamer, your Xbox is probably one of your most treasured electronic devices. Sometimes an emotional attachment to the console is inevitable, so when it goes wrong, it is taken as an ailment.
There is no problem with a fondness to your Xbox, but you need to accept the possibility of a malfunction, or failure; just like every other electronic device.
Here are some of the common problems with the Xbox console that we deal with every day.
Power problems may arise from a number of causes. Mostly it’s an external problem emanating from power surges, incorrect mains ratings, and questionable mains power.
Sometimes internal components may cause power failure – internal shorts, blown a fuse, moisture and component degradation
The Xbox One has an external power brick, which supplies it with regulated power from the mains. It is also the first line of defense against power surges and spikes. The One S and the One X have an internal power supply unit, which serves the same purpose. Powering up problems are usually solved by overhauling the entire power supply system, in some cases, it needs to be replaced.
The HDMI technology is impressive. The high definition images are vibrant and captivating.
However,
since the HDMI system is digital, several failure points may affect video rendering and transmission. With the Xbox One S and X, display issues are further worsened by the increased load on the GPU by HDR and Ultra High Definition processing.
Lack of a video output signal can be caused by a failure of the GPU, graphics controllers, HDMI port or HDMI cable. The same goes for flickering images, poor color, and frozen video.
All games, unless purchased online for instance on Steam, come in Blue-ray or DVD. It is the Blue-ray player’s job to install and run the game during play.
The disk contains a watermark, which the drive has to reference and authenticate the game periodically – that is why you need to have the game disk inserted every time you play.
The Blue-ray drive is susceptible to damage mostly from dust and hardware injury.
A damaged drive is such a pain because it means you can’t play any disk-installed game. A clattering noise characterizes an unhealthy drive once a disk is inserted, disk insertion and ejection problems and total failure to read disk content. The Blue-ray drive is notoriously difficult to repair due to its complexity and compact size. Often, a replacement is the only option.
In most games, the gamepad is the only interface between you – the gamer, and the Xbox. It serves as a console and game controller. It also, unfortunately,
takes all the blames for any failed gaming score. Gamers result in pressing unnecessarily hard on the buttons and analog sticks during gameplay in the pursuit of performance. This ends up damaging the buttons; the analog sticks are usually the first to go.
Some of the controllers can be salvaged and restored. However, issues caused by damaged sensors and logic boards are difficult to rectify.
Most of these problems can be repaired. The Xbox is never dead unless extremely damaged. An Xbox is not a cheap console. Five years down the line and you still have to pay at least $ 250 for a new Xbox one; the Xbox One S and Xbox One X go for at least $300 in the lower tire.
So, before you think of disposing of the broken console, give it another chance. It might just be a small problem costing only a few bucks. An Xbox is theorized to have a lifespan of not less than ten years if properly serviced and maintained.
A gaming console takes a ton of punishment at the hands of a full-fledged gamer. Playing games hour after hour repeatedly does put a bit of strain on the system’s component. The CPU on Xbox clocks at very high frequencies and the One S and One X, the architecture has an inbuilt turbo mode that slightly overclocks the chip when the application demands more processing power. The GPU’s power throughput on the graphics system is regulated in the same way; this maintains a steady framerate and smooth gaming experience, but it comes at a risky price – overheating.
The cooling system on an Xbox console is designed to cope with a 167°-176°F (75°-80°C) maximum temperature rise during gaming. For a prolonged period of gaming, 140° F (60° C) is recommended, just to be safe. Microsoft has gone to great lengths to ensure the console runs at an optimum temperature at all time, by using cooling fans and an airflow guiding internal architecture of the housing to get rid of excess heat.
The console is usually placed on a cabinet, wall unit or a shelf, sometimes surrounded by things that might obstruct effective airflow into the cooling system. Fur, hair, and dust collected over time on the fan blades and intake filters clog the airflow system. To that, add long gaming hours and overheating symptoms begin to show.
The Xbox console is designed to protect itself against heat damage; it does that in the following ways:
These problems can be solved by repairing the damage on the cooling systems by cleaning it out and replacing some parts.
Every electronic manufacture provides a product warranty for consumer products, and Microsoft is no exception.
The Xbox warranty covers the console for a one-year period beginning from the date of purchase. Accessories such as gamepads are only covered for 90 days.
After the warranty expires, additional fees are charged for parts and service. Be advised, sometimes they quote ridiculous prices for service, and it can be a lengthy process. It’s more fitting cost wise to get a third party repair solution near you.
