According to changes to the Microsoft Repair Hub spotted by The Verge, iFixit has started selling genuine Xbox parts and providing repair guides as part of a deal it signed with Microsoft last year. We currently offer parts for Xbox Series S and X (digital and disk drive) models, from cases to power supplies to motherboards, as well as toolkits, thermal paste, and more.
iFixit announced its partnership with Microsoft when it began offering official replacement parts for Microsoft Surface laptops in 2023. As part of that, we’ve provided teardown videos and step-by-step guides to simplify relatively complex repairs.
We’ve done something similar for Xbox, displaying motherboard replacement guides for each console, detailing each step, and providing a list of the parts and tools you’ll need. For example, a motherboard repair requires 29 steps to install and an additional step to reassemble everything. However, so far the company has not released any videos like it does for Surface devices.
iFixit has similar deals with other tech giants to provide replacement parts for Google Pixel tablets and Google Pixel Fold devices. If has also partnered with accessory manufacturer Logitech to provide repair parts for two of the company’s most popular mouse models. The main holdout is Apple, but iFixit recently gave the iPhone 16 a decent repairability score, which was marred by previous models due to software-restricted “part pairing” requirements. The company disassembled the PS5 Pro last month and found it to be fully repairable, but the company doesn’t sell parts for Sony’s console.
