Description
XBOX SERIES X HDMI ALTERNATIVE ESD U21 EASY INSTALL is an ESD protection and signal conditioning device.
This device is a simple solution that features:
- HDMI 1.4, 2.0 & 2.1
- 8 kV contact ESD protection
- DC (I2C) link protection, bidirectional signal conditioning circuit, and dynamic pull-up
- CEC bus protection
- HPD pulls down, signal conditioning with level shifter and backdrive protection
The GOOD STUFF!!
- Short-circuit protection on 5V output
- Wake-up from standby through CEC bus
- Long and/or poor quality cable support with dynamic pull-up on DDC bus
We also have the Original U21 ESD Booster BGA IC HERE
Another common failure is the Retimer IC. Again new original HERE
The WARNING STUFF!!
This is aimed at the experienced / professional repair community as a best effort alternative. Quality tools, experience with removing IC’s and micro soldering is requirement not a recommendation! The removal of the old U21 glass BGA IC HDMIDP1-5F6 is required before install. Not to mention the diagnostic skills to rule out the following before hand:
- HDMI port
- HDMI Re-Driver IC
- HDMI TVS diodes
- 80 Pin connector and SoC board
This XBOX SERIES X HDMI ALTERNATIVE ESD FLEX will also make an excellent diagnostic tool. If you are used to rebuilding pads for torn HDMI traces, USB-C ports etc, this will be easy for you, once installed, testing can be started in under 45 minutes (if you take your time).
Full, easy to follow instructions will be provided along with a detailed install video.
Due to the technical nature of HDMI repairs we are unable to offer technical support on this.
Here is our preview video of the install of this XBOX ALTERNATIVE ESD BOOSTER FLEX

The installation was very easy. I was done with the complete disassembly and reassembly in maybe 40 minutes the first time. All features work perfectly. Thanks,
