Yeah been there and everywhere else I could think of, no joy.
I know the HDMI ports are still unavailable also, might have to search for dead boards.

Re: XBOX One S USB Port

I spoke to Andrew a few days ago, he is looking for one for me.
But the good news is I found a faulty board on Ebay today, only 20 miles away so I went and got it.

Re: XBOX One S USB Port

Have you ever successfully removed one of those USB ports off a 360 / PS3 / PS4 / Xbox One?

Not tried yet, I've replaced them successfully on Laptop & desktop motherboards in the past.

I needed to replace one on a PS3 and failed epically, but I was using a 120 watt iron. I think the only way is using hot air, because the actual metal enclosure, at least on the PS3 board I had, was acting as a heatsink.

Let me know how you end up doing it, if you're successful.

Thanks!

Re: XBOX One S USB Port

This is the customers board with the damaged USB port

I have removed the USB port from the donor board

Donor board is undamaged

First thing was to dilute the lead free solder by flooding it with nice new lovely leaded solder and then get the hot air gun on it. That took a while, but it came away eventually.
Next thing to do is remove the damaged port from the customers board, wish me luck!

Re: XBOX One S USB Port

Getting the damaged USB port off the board was an issue but I got it.

Replacement in place

Please upload the photos to the site, seeing photobucket placeholders serves no one!

I use the silver bearing solder and love it, but it's from RadioShack. I cannot get anymore of it, but am running low. I always do like you, but add the silver bearing, which I believe requires a bit higher temp.

But can you recommend a good brand of silver bearing solder by any chance? Glad you got your ports off and everything fixed.

Oh, did you preheat the board, so it didn't warp, or wasn't it an issue?

Could you please upload the pics here instead of the photobucket, as requested by the other users? I'd like to see them. You probably cannot edit your posts now, but perhaps just reply with the same pics? Click on Go Advanced and you should see an option to manage attachments.

Thanks!
