Here is a solution to a big problem.

XBOX SERIES X ESD BOOSTER U21 EASY INSTALL FLEX

 

This IC is known to fail when the HDMI port is damaged, shorted out or has a power spike. The original IC is a small 3x3mm BGA glass IC which is super fragile and sensitive to heat and movement.

We have a solution to this that will replace this IC with a robust and arguably easier install.

The following will be restored with this PCB in the event the original Booster IC is faulty.

  1. 4kUHD @ 120hz = WORKING

  2. 4kUHD @ 60hz = WORKING

  3. 1440p @ 60 / 120hz = WORKING

  4. 1080p @ 60 / 120hz = WORKING

  5. 720p @ 60hz = WORKING

  6. CEC (power on / off / input select) = WORKING (Xbox Series X only)

 

 

Either way it’s lightyears ahead of the rinky dink “Bypass method“! Which should only ever be used as a diagnostic method.

Description

 

XBOX SERIES X ESD BOOSTER FLEX 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!!

  1. Short-circuit protection on 5V output
  2. Wake-up from standby through CEC bus
  3. 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:

 

  1. HDMI port
  2. HDMI Re-Driver IC
  3. HDMI TVS diodes
  4. 80 Pin connector and SoC board

 

This alternative Series X ESD Easy 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.

    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,
