6 No Sound After Console Wipe / New Installation
Hi Guys,
I have a console in for repair that someone previously attempted to replace the HDMI port on. I won't lie, it was well and truly butchered and almost all the pads were ripped off with the port along with the tracks. Normally I'd turn this one away but I was genuinely curious to see if I could get it going again.
I replaced the port, manually wired everything in and it's working!
However, I removed the board after the initial test to apply solder mask and close it up again. It worked just fine up until I reset the console, at which I lost all sound and the resolution defaulted to 640 x 480. I do get the option to change the display to 720 / 1080 but doing this does not restore the sound. Baffled, I looked everywhere online for a solution but turned up nothing. I was able to restore the sound by selecting 'Video Fidelity & Overscan' and setting the display back to HDMI from DVI, but after resetting the console again, it simply defaults back to DVI. This has me thinking there's a hardware issue but I'm not entirely sure...
I'm hoping someone here can shed some light on the issue but I'll keep trying and update the post as I know more. Hope you can help!
Kind regards,
Chris

That’s strange! Do you have some pictures regarding the motherboard how it looks like?
Also, could be the HDMI IC failing in some sort way. Did you check this out on the motherboard?

I'll pop it open and take a good look at it again today, replacing the HDMI IC might be worth a try! It was originally missing 2 EMI filters behind the port too but I've since replaced those with a few I pulled from a donor board. It's possible the damage to IC was already done prior to my repair though.
I'll see if I can upload some photos too, not much to see now sadly because of the solder mask lol.
Thanks for taking the time to reply again! I appreciate it.

Alright! Hopefully that solves it. It's also possible that the incorrect type of HDMI port is soldered on. The Xbox Series X and Series S HDMI port are NOT interchangeable. They will fit, but the port is different! So that could be the cause as well. Please let us know how it goes! Good luck!!

Unfortunately, replacing the HDMI IC didn't resolve the issue. I wasn't aware that these HDMI ports were different, I see a lot of them being sold online and they're described as being compatible with both the Series S and X consoles. Do you happen to know the difference between the two, other than their appearance? Thanks again.

@jihiro ahw too bad that it didn’t worked.
Yes! They are different. I know that some companies sell them as interchangable, but this is not the case.
Here you can see the difference: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125956909705
If you have any questions, please let me know!
