It does needs to get repleced old hdmi port on the new hdmi port and it does also needs new hdmi cable beside that.
If nothing are did burned it out inside of it on the part wise it will get fixed.
If the something did get burned inside off it on the part off it then it cant get to be fixed and then I will need to buy new xbox console then as a new.
It was not reading the disks but it is are reading them now. It did make the eject sound but this sound are gone and are not there anymore.
It did had the alot rubish and dirt inside off it and that is why it was not working. All the dirt and rubbish was removed inside off it so that it will work to continue and moving forward. But the new hdmi port are coming from the Uk. So then it will take 2 or 3 weeks to wait when it will get repleced from the old one on the new one and the diagnostic on the testing will to be done it. To make sure that everything are working on it. It will take few days or weeks to wait on the while on the long time of period. What are better option and the way to wait when the old Xbox Series X Console are fixed or buy the new Xbox Series X console another one with the disk drive or without it on the all the digital. Play the game on the two way or on the one way. What are the right thing to do. What are the my best bet. Do you do have any suggestion and the advice and the recomendation.

It sounds like the Xbox was poorly treated. The DVD reader is probably easy enough to replace, but the HDMI port may need to be soldered.

If the repairs are difficult, perhaps ask an electronics shop for a quote on the repairs. If they are cost effective. If the repairs are expensive, maybe time for a new Xbox.

A book on English grammar and syntax would be a start.

Assuming you can find a reputable repair shop, soldering a new HDMI port shouldnt be hard to do. If not, replace it. Whether you want the digital only or disk version is entirely a personal choice.

As noted above, it does seem like most of this is fixable. Just curious, is English a second language? Was this written with a translator? While yes it can be understood, it took me a couple of reads to get what was being described.

If you already have parts coming to you, it sounds like you answered your own question in attempting to fix it.
