The Xbox One S uses a (or sometimes an ANX9833) for HDMI.

Why the Xbox One S Needs a Dedicated BoardView

Part 5: How to Read a Boardview for Xbox One S – Practical Examples

• Disclaimer: Boardviews are often leaked proprietary information from manufacturers (Microsoft/AMD). As a repair technician, you use these for educational and repair assistance purposes.
• Component Tolerance: The boardview tells you where a component is, but the schematic tells you its value. Often, boardview files include values, but cross-referencing with a schematic is recommended for precise resistance/capacitance values.
• APU Damage: Many "dead" Xbox One S consoles have a broken BGA (Ball Grid Array) connection under the APU (Processor). A boardview cannot fix a broken solder joint. If all power rails look correct but the console doesn't beep/video, the issue is likely the APU itself, not a component you can see on the boardview.

. Unlike a static schematic, which shows circuit logic, a boardview is essential for diagnosing physical hardware faults such as liquid damage or short circuits. Core Components Identified in Boardview boardview xbox one s

Warning:

Never run a .exe claiming to be a BoardView. Authentic files are .brd , .fz , .cad , or .bdv . They are typically only 500KB to 5MB. Deep Dive: BoardView for Xbox One S (Model

1. Verify AC adapter output 12V and barrel connector continuity.
2. Inspect DC input fuse and MOSFETs near barrel jack; replace if open/short.
3. Open Board View to find 3.3V standby rail TP; measure — if absent, trace back to PMIC.
4. Check PMIC enable lines and associated MOSFETs; probe for gate drive.
5. If PMIC damaged, replace with known-good unit or prestage standby rail from bench PSU to confirm downstream circuits.
6. After restoring standby, observe power button circuit and main 1.2V rails; repair as needed.
