Hi Everyone, Welcome to HowFixit,
in this video guide I will show you how to replace the motherboard in Xbox Series S.
To disassemble your Xbox Series S, you will need the following tools:
Torx T8 and Torx T10 screwdrivers Anti-static brush
Thermal paste Plastic pry tools and anti-static tweezers
I also recommend using a magnetic mat and laying out each screw step by step during
the disassembly process. Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes
back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your Xbox Series S. Thanks to the magnetic base,
the screws stay on the mat and you will not lose them. In the description, I left links
where you can buy all the necessary repair tools. Also, in the description, you can find a link to
the video where I show you how to restore a water damaged Xbox Series S controller.
I hope with your gamepad everything is okay, but if that happens,
you will know what to do in that case. Let's start disassembling the Xbox Series S.
Remove the two white covers located on the bottom corners of the game console housing.
Remove 2 screws with a Torx T8 screwdriver.
Use a Torx T10 screwdriver to remove the next 7 screws.
Push apart the two corners of the plastic case and slide the chassis towards you.
Now you can lift up the chassis. Remove the next 9 screws.
Turn the console and lift up the cover. Now you get access to the fan and power supply.
To disconnect the power supply, just lift it up from the motherboard.
Disconnect the 4-pin connector from the motherboard.
Remove 3 screws and disconnect the Bluetooth panel.
To disconnect the Bluetooth panel from the chassis, just pull it towards you.
Remove the screw and disconnect the board with the power button.
Remove 3 screws and disconnect the panel with the Wi-Fi module.
Turn the case over and remove the 4 screws.
Grasp the heatsink with your fingers and lift up the front of the motherboard.
Insert a flathead screwdriver between the edge of the clamp and the heatsink pin,
then slide the bracket up. Now insert a screwdriver inside the bracket
and pull to the side to remove the bottom edge of the clamp from the slot on the heat sink pin.
Now you can replace the motherboard. You can buy a new motherboard using the
part number M1158112-001 found on the motherboard or the model number of your Xbox Series S console.
Now the Xbox Series S is assembled and ready to use.
