Video Games Is fixing an xbox one x worth it?

My kid bought himself an xbox one x...it crapped out after 16 months, still turns on just has no picture so I'm assuming the video port control chip bit the shit...

He bought an S..so now I Have this brick system and trying to figure out if I should just toss it or fix it cause well, if I fix it, it's mine..

What do you guys think?

How much are they brand new? $399. So if it costs more than that to fix it’s not worth it.

If you decide not to put any money into it you could simply try doing a reflow on the board. Not sure how the board is in one of those but you would have to remove it if the video card is attached.

Did you try a different HDMI cable?
If it is the black screen of death. Places around town cost about 100.

Also used Xboxes out there on marketplace.

Yea it's not that, I even plugged a usb to hdmi adapter into it and plugged it in that way, it won't display video no matter what you do, doesn't do a black screen the tv just acts like it's not there.

Then he should invest in a midrange GPU and join the PC gaming world. Not worth wasting money on an old gen console.
