HDMI port replacement
A pulled cable or a console moved while plugged in can bend or break the pins inside the port. Symptoms: no picture, flickering, or "no signal" on a TV that works fine with everything else.
Xbox Repair
Columbia MO
No picture, won't power on, or shutting off mid-game? I fix Xbox Series X, Series S and Xbox One consoles right here in Columbia — including board-level repairs — so you don't have to mail it to Microsoft.
Common Xbox repairs
Won't turn on
No power, no sound, or a light that comes on and nothing else happens. Often the power supply, sometimes the board. I'll find out which before you pay for anything.
Overheating & cleaning
Shutting off during games or running way louder than it used to. Dust packed into the cooling is the usual cause, and a proper cleaning makes a big difference.
Board-level repair
Damaged components, shorts and earlier repair attempts gone wrong — the jobs other shops send away. Other repair shops send me their toughest consoles.
Every model
Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, One S and One X.

Xbox repair questions
Should I send my Xbox to Microsoft or get it fixed locally?
Mailing it in means boxing it up and going without it for a while. I can usually fix it here in Columbia, and some Xbox repairs are done the same day.
How do I know if my Xbox HDMI port is broken?
The usual signs are no picture, a flickering picture, or a "no signal" message on a TV that works fine with other devices. Bent or broken pins inside the port are the most common cause. I check every HDMI port under the microscope.
My Xbox won't turn on. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes. It's often the power supply, and sometimes a problem on the board. I'll find out which before you pay for a repair.
Someone else already tried to fix my Xbox. Will you still work on it?
Yes. I don't care who worked on it before. If earlier work needs to be undone, it may take more time, and I'll tell you up front.
Xbox acting up?
Text me a picture of the problem and I'll tell you what I think it is.
