Xbox One X showing no signal even after a new HDMI port? In this repair, the port was fine. The real fault was a failed TDP158RSBR HDMI retimer chip on the motherboard, which stops the video signal reaching the port while the console still powers on normally. We ruled out the cable, TV and port first, then used a preheater and hot air station to replace the chip with a working one from a donor board. The picture came back. Component-level diagnosis finds the cause, so you only pay for what works.

When this iPad Pro 11-inch 3rd Gen (A2377) arrived at AppleFix NZ, it had already been through one repair — the charging port had been replaced, but the iPad still refused to charge. During inspection, we found a capacitor near the charging circuit had been damaged in the earlier repair. We replaced it, but the fault remained. Detailed motherboard diagnostics eventually revealed the real cause: a faulty CD3217B12 USB-C power delivery controller. Using component-level microsoldering, we replaced the chip and restored normal charging. Here’s the full diagnosis and repair, step by step.
