TDP158 HDMI Retimer IC — PULL-A Chip for Xbox One X & Xbox One S Motherboard Repair
The Texas Instruments TDP158 HDMI retimer IC fixes the classic Xbox no-signal, black-screen and HDMI dropout faults on Xbox One X and Xbox One S consoles. PULL-A graded chip pulled from a working board, pre-tested under continuity check before dispatch. BGA package — professional micro-soldering rework only.

BGA rework only: The TDP158 is a Ball Grid Array surface-mount chip. Replacement requires a hot-air rework station, BGA reballing skills, low-temp solder paste and steady micro-soldering technique. A standard soldering iron will permanently damage the motherboard. If you do not own BGA rework gear, book the workshop install.
What Is the TDP158 HDMI Retimer IC?
The Texas Instruments TDP158 is the dedicated HDMI signal-conditioning IC sitting between the GPU and the HDMI port on Xbox One X and Xbox One S motherboards. When it dies, the console powers on perfectly — but no picture ever reaches the TV.
HDMI Signal Retimer / Repeater
Re-clocks and amplifies the HDMI 2.0 signal coming off the GPU. Without it, the signal cannot reach a TV at full bandwidth or at all.
Xbox-Specific Failure Point
Famous failure on Xbox One X and One S after years of use, surge events, or rough HDMI cable yanks. Fries internally while the rest of the board survives.
BGA Surface-Mount Package
Solder balls on the underside of the IC mate to pads on the motherboard. Removal and refit needs hot-air rework and reballing skill.
PULL-A Graded Donor IC
Lifted from a working Xbox board with low hours, visually inspected for ball integrity and electrically continuity-checked before dispatch.
Symptoms of a Failed TDP158
If your Xbox One X or One S powers on cleanly but never shows a picture, the TDP158 retimer is the prime suspect. Classic failure modes:
No HDMI Output At All
TV stays on "no signal" no matter which input or HDMI lead you try. Console fan spins, LED is white, audio works through optical — but no picture.
Black Screen After Boot Logo
Xbox green logo flashes for a second then the screen drops to black. Signal handshake fails on the first dashboard frame.
Intermittent HDMI Dropouts
Picture comes and goes during gameplay. Worse when the console heats up — classic dying retimer behaviour.
Powers On but No Picture
All other systems alive — controller pairs, audio out works, network connects — but the TV simply never gets a video frame.
Snow / Pink / Green Tint
Display shows scrambled noise or a colour cast across the whole picture. Retimer is partially functional but corrupting the data lanes.
Dead After Surge or HDMI Yank
HDMI cable was yanked while powered, or the console took a mains spike. Retimer is the first IC to take the hit.
Diagnose first: Confirm the HDMI port itself is mechanically intact and the GPU is not the failure. Bench-probe the retimer rails before reflowing — a dead GPU shows the same symptoms but needs a different repair path.
What You Get
A single PULL-A graded TDP158 HDMI retimer IC, lifted from a working donor Xbox board, visually inspected and continuity-checked before dispatch from our Brisbane warehouse.
1 × TDP158 IC (PULL-A)
Genuine Texas Instruments TDP158 in BGA package, A-graded for ball integrity, scratches and pad damage.
Continuity-Checked Pre-Dispatch
Bench tested for shorts, opens and pad integrity before bagging. No dead-on-arrival rubbish leaves the workshop.
ESD-Safe IC Tray
Shipped in an anti-static IC tray inside a padded mailer to protect the BGA balls from compression and ESD damage.
Sold As Repair Stock
Bench-tested before dispatch and sold as trade repair stock. No warranty applies once the IC is handled or installed — the standard for board-level rework chips.
Note: BGA rework station, hot-air gun, low-temp paste, reballing stencil, flux and ESD mat are not included. Pair with a board-level repair tool kit — or book the workshop install.
Installation Overview — BGA Rework Technician Job
TDP158 replacement is board-level micro-soldering work on a multi-layer Xbox motherboard. A standard soldering iron is useless here — this is hot-air rework with reballing. We strongly recommend a qualified board-level technician handle the swap. Walk-in service available at our Forest Lake counter.
Step 1 — Confirm the Diagnosis
Probe the TDP158 power rails, check for shorts to ground and verify the GPU is alive. Don't waste a chip on the wrong fault.
Step 2 — Strip the Console
Disassemble the Xbox One X or One S to expose the motherboard. Remove the heatsink and clean off old thermal paste.
Step 3 — Mask + Pre-Heat the Board
Mask surrounding components with kapton tape. Pre-heat the board to 100°C on a hot plate to prevent thermal shock.
Step 4 — Hot-Air Lift the Old IC
Set the rework station to BGA reflow profile. Lift the failed TDP158 cleanly without disturbing surrounding caps and resistors.
Step 5 — Clean + Reball Pads
Wick the old solder off the board pads. Inspect under microscope. Reball the new TDP158 if its underside balls were lifted in storage.
Step 6 — Place + Reflow + Test
Align the new IC over the pads, apply flux, run the reflow profile. Inspect under microscope. Bench-test HDMI output before reassembly.
Critical: Standard soldering irons cannot remove or fit a BGA chip. Attempting this without hot-air rework gear and BGA reballing skill will permanently destroy the Xbox motherboard. If unsure, book the workshop install — the install fee is far less than a replacement console.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the TDP158 actually do?+
It is the HDMI signal retimer that sits between the GPU and the HDMI port on Xbox One X and One S motherboards. It re-clocks and amplifies the HDMI 2.0 signal so it can travel cleanly down the cable to your TV. Without it, the console can boot fine but never displays a picture.
Will it fit my Xbox?+
Yes if your console is the Xbox One X (model 1787) or Xbox One S (model 1681). Check the rear sticker. The chip will not work on Xbox Series X / Series S, the original Xbox One, the Xbox 360, PlayStation or Switch — those use different HDMI architectures.
How do I know my TDP158 has actually failed?+
Classic signs: console powers on, fan spins, controller pairs, audio works through optical, but the TV stays "no signal" or shows black after the boot logo. Always probe the TDP158 power rails first — a blown HDMI port or a dead GPU show similar symptoms but need different repairs.
What does "PULL-A grade" mean?+
PULL-A means the IC was carefully removed from a known-working donor Xbox board (not a faulty one), then visually inspected and electrically continuity-checked. A-grade means no missing balls, no pad damage, no scratches. PULL-A is the standard the trade uses for board-level repair stock.
Can I install it with a soldering iron?+
No. The TDP158 is a BGA chip with solder balls on its underside. It needs a hot-air rework station, BGA reflow profile, kapton masking, board pre-heat and reballing. Trying to fit it with a soldering iron will permanently destroy the Xbox motherboard. If you do not own BGA gear, book the workshop install.
Does it come reballed and ready to fit?+
The IC ships with the original donor balls intact. Inspect under microscope on arrival — if any balls were lost in transit, reball with a TDP158-pitch stencil and low-temp solder paste before reflow. Most technicians prefer to reball regardless for a known-good ball pattern.
Is there a warranty on the IC chip?+
No. Loose IC chips are sold as trade repair stock with no warranty — this is the industry standard for board-level rework parts. Every chip is bench-tested for shorts, opens and pad integrity before dispatch and shipped in an ESD-safe tray. Inspect under microscope on arrival before reflow. Damage caused during BGA rework, incorrect reflow profile or static discharge during install cannot be warranted.
What rework gear do I need?+
Hot-air rework station with adjustable airflow, board pre-heat hot plate, BGA reballing stencil for TDP158 pitch, low-temp leaded solder paste, no-clean flux, kapton masking tape, ESD mat and wrist strap, and a stereo microscope for ball inspection. None of this is included with the IC.
Can you fit it for me at the Forest Lake counter?+
Yes. Walk in to our counter at Shop 3A, 152 Woogaroo St, Forest Lake QLD 4078 with your Xbox One X or One S and our board-level techs handle the full diagnosis, TDP158 reflow and post-fit HDMI bench test. Book ahead for fastest turnaround on board work.
How fast does it ship across Australia?+
Orders ship in 2 to 4 business days from our Brisbane warehouse with Australia Post tracking. The IC ships in an anti-static tray inside a padded mailer to protect the BGA balls from compression and ESD damage in transit anywhere in Australia.
