Not sure what is wrong with your Original Xbox One or cannot find the correct repair on our website? Select our Xbox One Fault Diagnosis service and let our engineers investigate the problem for you.
Our Xbox One diagnostic service costs £20. We investigate the reported problem, identify the fault where possible and contact you with the repair cost before additional chargeable work is carried out.
If you approve the repair and it is successfully completed, the £20 diagnostic fee is deducted from the final repair price. If the console cannot be repaired, the £20 diagnostic fee is non-refundable.
Xbox One Diagnostic Service
Modern games consoles can develop faults with very similar symptoms, so it is not always obvious which repair is required.
This diagnostic service is intended for customers who know something is wrong with their Original Xbox One but cannot confidently identify the cause or select one of our dedicated repair services.
Our engineers investigate the reported symptoms and carry out fault finding to establish what is preventing the console from operating correctly.
Xbox One Fault Diagnosis
An Xbox One fault diagnosis can be useful when the console has an unusual, intermittent or unidentified problem.
Examples of faults we can investigate include:
• Xbox One not starting or booting correctly
• Intermittent console faults
• Unexpected shutdown or crashing
• Display or picture problems
• Disc drive problems
• System or startup errors
• Unusual noises or behaviour
• WiFi or connectivity problems
• Faults that do not match one of our listed repair services
The purpose of the diagnosis is to establish the actual cause of the problem before unnecessary components are replaced.
When Should I Select the Xbox One Diagnose Option?
You should select this service when you are unsure which Xbox One repair you require or when the problem with your console is not covered by one of the dedicated repair options on our website.
If you already know the fault and we have a specific repair listed for it, selecting that dedicated repair is normally more appropriate.
• Known HDMI port damage = select HDMI Port Repair
• Console not reading discs = select Blu-ray Laser Repair
• Disc not loading or ejecting = select Disc Drive Repair
• Known cooling fan fault = select Fan Replacement
• Known liquid damage = select Liquid Damage Inspection
• Unknown or unusual fault = select Xbox One Fault Diagnosis
This helps ensure your console is booked under the most appropriate repair service from the start.
What Does the £20 Xbox One Diagnostic Fee Include?
The £20 diagnostic fee covers the engineering time required to investigate your Original Xbox One and establish the cause of the reported problem where possible.
The diagnostic service includes:
• Initial fault and symptom assessment
• Professional Xbox One fault finding
• Relevant hardware and software checks
• Investigation of the reported problem
• Identification of the required repair where possible
• Repair quotation before additional chargeable work
We will contact you if additional repair work or replacement parts are required.
Is the £20 Diagnostic Fee Deducted From the Repair?
Yes. If our engineers diagnose the problem, you approve the repair and the repair is successfully completed, the £20 diagnostic fee is deducted from the final repair price.
This means the diagnostic charge is not an additional £20 on top of a successfully completed repair.
If the console cannot be successfully repaired, the £20 diagnostic fee remains non-refundable because it covers the engineering time already spent investigating the fault.
What Happens After We Diagnose Your Xbox One?
Once our engineers have identified the problem, we will explain the fault and advise you of the repair cost.
If you approve the quotation, we can proceed with the repair.
We will not simply carry out unexpected additional chargeable work without discussing the cost with you first.
If you decide not to proceed with the quoted repair, the £20 diagnostic fee remains payable for the fault-finding work already completed.
What if My Xbox One Cannot Be Repaired?
If our engineers are unable to successfully repair your Original Xbox One, the £20 diagnostic fee is non-refundable.
The fee covers the engineering time and diagnostic work required to investigate the console regardless of whether a successful repair is ultimately possible.
Xbox One Hardware Fault Diagnosis
Hardware faults can occur within many different parts of an Xbox One, including the motherboard, storage system, disc drive, cooling system, HDMI circuitry and wireless hardware.
Where the symptoms do not clearly identify which component is responsible, our engineers can carry out further testing to narrow down the source of the problem.
This is particularly useful for intermittent faults or consoles displaying symptoms that could have several possible causes.
Xbox One Software & Startup Fault Diagnosis
Not every Xbox One problem is caused by a physically damaged component.
Startup, system software, storage and update problems can produce symptoms such as consoles failing to reach the dashboard, error messages or abnormal startup behaviour.
Our engineers can investigate the symptoms and determine whether the problem is related to software, storage hardware or another console fault.
Xbox One Intermittent Fault Diagnosis
Intermittent problems can be more difficult to diagnose because the console may operate normally for part of the time.
If possible, please provide as much information as you can about when the fault occurs, what the console is doing when the problem appears and any error messages or unusual behaviour you have noticed.
This information can help our engineers reproduce the fault and focus the diagnostic process on the relevant part of the console.
Xbox One Liquid Damage Requires a Different Inspection
If you know or suspect that liquid has entered the console, please do not select the standard £20 diagnostic service.
Liquid-damaged consoles require dismantling, contamination cleaning and corrosion inspection before normal fault diagnosis can be carried out.
Please select our dedicated Xbox One Liquid Damage Inspection instead.
Original Xbox One Fault Diagnosis
This diagnostic service is specifically for the Original Xbox One console.
Xbox One S and Xbox One X consoles have their own repair and diagnostic services. Please select the correct model before booking your console for diagnosis.
