The video is about a person who bought 18 used Xbox One consoles, 16 Xbox One S's and 2 Xbox One X's, for $1,102.50, or $61.25 per unit, with the intention of fixing and reselling them for a profit. The person starts by diagnosing and repairing the consoles one by one.
The first console had a power supply issue, which was fixed by reconnecting a disconnected power cable. However, upon powering it on, smoke came out, indicating a short circuit. Further inspection revealed a burned-out area on the motherboard, which was removed and cleaned.
The second console had a partial power issue, with the power button lighting up but not turning on the console. The person suspected a problem with the main APU or south bridge but was unable to fix it.
The third console was similar to the second one but was set aside for later.
The fourth console was stuck on the update screen but was fixed by connecting it to the internet and updating the software. A noisy fan was also fixed by removing a small piece of foam that was causing the noise.
The fifth console was missing a disk drive, power supply, and hard drive, and could not be fixed.
The sixth console had a partial power issue and was also not fixable.
The video ends with the person reflecting on the challenges of fixing these consoles without schematics and the hope that they can fix enough consoles to offset the cost of the unfixable ones.
