What are the reasons for an Xbox One X motherboard to break (overnight)?

Oa

I assume very strongly that your mainboard is not broken.

That is a different problem.

Co

It's about a friend's Xbox.
He sent it to an Xbox repair center (third party) and they said the motherboard is broken.

What has to happen that a mainboard breaks?

Oa

I still don't think the mainboard is broken, but okay.

It can be outdated capacitors, overheated voltage regulators and sometimes contact problems on expansion slots for plug-in cards or memory modules.

First of all, I would check the seriousness of the third party. No third party or reseller will repair or check the items. It's all up to the manufacturer. In this case Microsoft.

Co

People. The question is not "if" but "how" it could break.

Co

Many do that. There's also for all types of electronics.

You can also make use of this if the devices no longer have a guarantee anyway and the repair directly from the manufacturer is too expensive or not worthwhile.

Otherwise, the free money is for dubious shops.

La

Overheating due to poor installation is possible.

Or if you tinker with it yourself

Sw

Scratches on the mainboard e.g. When expanding. Or water e.g. Brought in from outside and switched on straight away

Thanks! I was looking for an answer like that.
