boxpressed Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I have an original XB One 500GB model that I bought from Goodwill a while back. It worked fine for a while, but then the display started to go on the fritz, and then I didn't get a display at all. I realized that the HDMI Out port had been damaged--a couple of pins are exposed. Maybe I pulled out the plastic around the pins when plugging and unplugging a cable. You can see it from a couple of angles in the photos below. I don't want to pay to repair this, and I don't have the skills to do it myself. I'm still logged in with my user info from the last time the display worked. I was wondering if I could wipe the info from the unit and sell it for parts or just recycle it. Is it as easy as opening the case and removing the HDD? Thanks for any advice!

I saw a YouTube video on replacing this if you can solder. Don’t remember the link. I do remember the guy said the pins in Xbox series HDMI ports are fairly fragile but you can get a good replacement for around $5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
