Xbox Series S Motherboard Replacement

Introdução

Follow this guide to remove and replace the motherboard on a Xbox Series S.

Note: When you remove the heat sink, you’ll need to replace the thermal compound between the plate and the heat sink. Since normal thermal paste isn’t designed to bridge large gaps, the closest replacement is K5 Pro viscous thermal paste. You will, however, need normal replacement thermal paste for the APU.

There are some photo discontinuities with the exterior Bluetooth, Wifi, and power boards. These discontinuities do not affect the repair procedure.

    • Only the motherboard remains.

    • Follow this guide for more specifics on how to reapply thermal paste to the processor and shield plate.

    • Since normal thermal paste isn’t designed to bridge the large gaps between the shield plate and heat sink, use K5 Pro viscous thermal paste to replace the thicker, teal putty. You will, however, need normal replacement thermal paste for the APU.
