Should the SSD card look this messy?

Bought a Series S off Facebook Marketplace that won't start, which I've described a bit here. After some more poking around the board, I've noticed that the SSD card is looking really rough, with a lot of PCB parts not even properly attached to the board. Is this normal?

No, it's not normal for an SSD card to look messy with PCB parts not properly attached. This suggests that the SSD might have been damaged or tampered with. It's crucial for the SSD to be intact and properly connected for the Xbox Series S to function correctly. If you bought this console recently and it's not starting, it might be best to return it or get a refund, especially if the SSD card looks damaged.
