How to Tell What's Wrong With Your Xbox
Quick checks to narrow down your fault before you walk in. Helps you understand the likely repair cost.
No Display? HDMI Port or Encoder IC
Try a different HDMI cable and a different TV port first. Look inside the Xbox HDMI socket with a torch.
Bent pins visible: $90 Series S or $155 Series X port replacement. Pins look fine: likely $180 retimer chip swap.
No Power? PSU vs Board Fault
Hold the power button ten seconds for hard reset. Watch for any LED activity on the front.
Power LED briefly on then off: usually $180 PSU swap. No LED at all: board-level diagnosis from $90.
Green Screen of Death?
Stuck on the green Xbox boot screen for more than ten minutes? Try Offline System Update via USB.
USB update fails: APU reflow or eMMC reflash needed. Free diagnosis confirms which.
Controller Drift vs Button
Open Xbox Accessories app on console or PC. Run the controller test to confirm exactly which input fails.
Stick moving on its own: $49 module swap. Bumper or D-pad dead: $49 rebuild.
Loud Fan or Overheating?
Place the Xbox vertically with 10cm clearance. Try the same game after a fresh reboot.
Fan loud all the time: $90 liquid metal repaste plus dust clean. Random shutdowns: add $99 fan swap.
System Error Codes E100-E305?
Note the exact error code shown on screen. Try Offline System Update first via USB drive.
Update fails again: firmware reflash quoted free. Often saves a full board swap.

Xbox Series X & S Repair FAQs
How much does Xbox Series X HDMI port repair cost?
Xbox Series X HDMI port replacement is $155 fitted on the bench. Series S HDMI is $90. Both come with a 12-month warranty. Genuine Microsoft-spec port fitted. If the port looks fine but signal still drops, the retimer chip swap is $180. Free in-store diagnosis confirms which.
What is the green screen of death and can you fix it?
Green screen of death means the Xbox boot logo freezes. Cause is usually corrupt firmware or APU solder fatigue. We try Offline System Update first via USB. If that fails, APU reflow or eMMC reflash is the next step. Free diagnosis quote first. Most cases recover without replacing the board.
Can you fix Xbox Wireless Controller stick drift?
Yes. Stick drift repair is $49 with twelve-month warranty. We replace the joystick module on the bench. Fixes ghost input, dead zone and pulling-in-one-direction faults. Standard Xbox Wireless Controller and Elite Series 2 both supported. Most jobs finish in 1-2 hours when dropped in early.
Why is my Xbox Series X fan so loud and how do you fix it?
Loud fan is usually dried thermal paste on the AMD APU. Our $90 liquid metal repaste fixes it. Includes full teardown and dust removal. Drops APU temps significantly. If the fan itself is noisy, $99 fan swap restores quiet running. Most jobs are done within one business day.
Can you repair Elite Series 2 controller D-pad and bumper faults?
Yes. Elite Series 2 D-pad replacement is $49. Bumper rebuild is $49. Stick drift on Elite Series 2 is also $49. Premium controller-grade replacement parts fitted. Diagnosis is always free first. We only quote what you actually need.
Do you mail-in repair Xbox Series X and S Australia-wide?
Yes. Australia-wide mail-in service is available. Use the booking form below. Select Mail-In Service when prompted. Pack the console with original packaging if possible. We diagnose free and quote in writing before any work. Tracked return postage included on most repairs.
Can you fix an Xbox with liquid damage or a drink spill?
Yes. Bring your wet Xbox in as soon as possible. Time matters with liquid damage. Our process is full teardown, ultrasonic board cleaning and corrosion treatment. Liquid damage results vary case by case. Free diagnosis quote first. No warranty on liquid recovery work.
Do you offer an Xbox repair warranty?
Yes. Every HDMI, fan, USB, Wi-Fi and stick drift repair includes a 12-month warranty. Cover is parts and labour. If the same issue returns within twelve months, bring it back free. Power supply and HDMI retimer chip swaps also carry a 12-month warranty. Liquid damage repairs are best-effort with no warranty.
Can you fix an Xbox that won't turn on at all?
Yes. No-power faults usually trace to the internal PSU. Power supply replacement is $180 with 12-month warranty. If the PSU tests fine, board-level diagnosis follows. Could be PMIC, VRM or APU short. Diagnosis is free first. We never quote without the test.
Is it worth repairing my old Xbox Series X or should I replace it?
Almost always worth repairing. A new Series X is over $800 retail in Australia. Most repairs cost $90 to $180. Your save data and Xbox Live profile stay intact. We only ever quote one repair per fault. Free diagnosis tells you the right answer.
