Xbox Series S

Xbox Series S

The Xbox Series S hasn't shown many signs of failure as of yet, with the exception of an intermittent shutdown on some consoles, which seems to work fine after a reboot. That said, this page will be updated as and when issues are found.

Known Problems And Solutions

Problem	Solution
No power, no beep	Check HDMI retimer using diode readings diagram. Check power supply. Check for shorts to ground on 12v rail
No video output	Check HDMI port for damage. Check HDMI encoder using diode readings diagram. Check ESD protection IC using diode readings diagram.

HDMI Ports Now Available!

HDMI ports are now available for this console on Aliexpress. The ports appear to be reliable and well made, and should be a trustworthy part to keep in your inventory.

Standby Voltages

This is a work in progress, but here's an ultra high resolution (108megapixel) image of the Xbox Series S motherboard, complete with some standby voltages for debugging. More images will come soon, but until I create a breakout cable the half of the board that is covered by the power supply cannot be accessed, so there's not a lot of test points which can be accessed for probing.

Diode Readings

I've obtained diode readings for the HDMI circuit, including the ESD boost protection IC which is another common failure point on games consoles such as the Xbox One S and X. These diode readings should allow simple diagnosis of key components on the HDMI circuit to aide in repair.
