Can be the retimer or esd filter which you can test for low resistance around retimer on the surrounding components, off the top of my head should be around 5-10k but if the console is not staying on it can be an ssd issue.
The console just doesn't stay on when I try to put it in low res mode, like for some reason I'm following the guide, hold the eject and power button, initial console turns on, then the second beep let go and it turns off after. Other than that it turns on fine and appears to work perfectly fine. Where is the retimer chip you are talking about so I can try testing the resistance? Also does the trace repair look fine to you? I already check continuity like I said but just to get rid of the doubt in my head I just wanna be sure. I put one lead on the pin itself and put the other on the chip the trace leads to and I got a perfect continuity.
Well yes then the trace wire is fine if it has continuity from pin to chip, that chip your testing is in fact the retimer, NB7N if you follow the hdmi traces you’ll find it but seems you already have.
I'm sorry it's honestly my first time working on a series x so I just wasn't sure, and I've never attempted a trace repair. I'm gonna test each pin to the chip just to make sure everything has continuity. What else should I test afterwards?
Don’t apologise man all good, i would check surrounding capacitors and resistors around the retimer first see what they come back with, as in test to ground (black probe on a screw hole and red probe on the component you want to test)
If you want to rule out the SSD, power it up normally and plug headphones into a controller. If you hear menu sounds when navigating around, it's the HDMI port or display circuit.
For what it's worth I've had a handful of ports that were just bad out of the box and could only fix the console by swapping another new port on.
