Looking for Soc Stencil on Xbox series x

[TheAnswer305]

Hi guys, bought a xbox series x that literally fell off a truck, it was mashed up but the boards were okay, unit would boot then turn off. After breakdown i found that i had a short in the SoC. I removed it and waited to find another broken unit. Well i found one but it seems like this guy wasnt being completely honest on the damage and it had significant water damage,when i turned it on i got the magic smoke and after breakdown the motherboard literally blew a hole in itself by a power IC and so I was left with making 1 unit out of the two damaged.

Now that i have a good SoC, i need to reball it however i dont think stencils exist for it as i cant find anything about a stencil. This SoC has 2,963 balls on it and I really dont want to have to do this manually one ball at a time. Anyone seen a stencil in the wild? If ive looked into getting one made but that doesnt look promising. Any info would help. Thanks.

I don't have the information you need, but if you got that for cheap, great job, my friend. the series x is probably the best bang for your buck out of all three consoles, but it also seems to have the most bugs, which will probably be fixed over time.

Yea i got the first one for 60 USD but thats the one with the shorted SoC the other one i paid 280 for so im still under the price of a new one but i dont want to spend a week reballing this by hand lol.

lol that would be a pita, definitely. I hope you get that up and working.

Hope so, or if anyone on here knows how to make stencils that would work also. There's some really talented people on here so i figure this is my best bet.

it's possible that @Donnie-Burger , @brickmii82 , or @DinohScene know about the inner workings of the series x. I'm pretty sure Donnie=Burger owns a series x, not sure about the other two. they do know a lot about the 360, so I'm assuming they might know something about the series x.

Haven't reballed an xbox series x yet. :/

seems microsoft got their shit together with the xbone and series x after all the hardware problems of the 360. my series x is quiet as hell, and it doesn't even feel warm when I touch it.

Only seen this for the Series S but it is not what you need, perhap you can asks the seller.

Damn. They have a stencil for the S already? I'm not seeing anything for the X anywhere either through the usual places. I'm sure one will come up eventually, but it may also be a victim of the economic slowdown from Covid. Just not enough people for development or whatnot.
