$100 BROKEN PS5 - Extended Cut

$100 BROKEN PS5 - Extended Cut - This PS5 was sold to me for only $100 and the seller claims it has a bad fan connector and shuts down after being turned on. Let's open up the console and see if there is anything else wrong with it, or if this will be an easy fix!

Good job on that connector, they’re cheap to buy if you ever can’t find one. I bought a bunch of dupont connectors to hook up servo motors and it came with a bunch of those other ones too, male and female.

[@zaborg17]

Thank you so much for all the knowledge you give to us for free

[@marlusmazer9799]

You are amazing Dude!!!!!❤

[@johnday7362]

Steve, the fan connector is a through-hole component. Use a soldering iron with a wedge-shaped tip, heating the PCB with a surface-mount heat gun isn't safe. It's very easy to cause good solder joints to become cold solder joints (partially heating good solder joints often results in a bad/worse electrical connection.).

[@yulexylombira5912]

Hi, nice video, you can try to fix the pads with this: "Spot Welding Slice", great repair. 👌

[@jamesh5460]

[@briandoss9232]

Nice job!

[@alphanerd2305]

You can also use a pair of tweezers to hold down a connector while extracting the plug. Gives a little bit more space to work with and less fingernail destruction.

[@LoftechUK]

Good work

[@Darklord40]

I like your videos Steve it keeps me wanting to do the same thing but i have three disorders and i wouldn't know how to do without breaking something

[@TheM0nkeyBomb]

Love that sony brought back the sliding plate to the ps5 like it was on the ps3

[@themanieq]

I think, it's possible to replace PSU without unscrewing 5500 screws. You can take out the board with heatsink, top plate and front plastic with usb ports.

[@TheRepeatloader]

i use ceramic tipped reverse tweesers to do that stuff.. makes it alot easier for me.

[@Merle_Staggard]

Notice the liquid metal blob located at the bottom as if that PS5 was in a vertical position, that's why I have my PS5 horizontal to prevent overheating and dry spots.

[@TronicsFixLongs]

Yeah, I think horizontal is better for these.

[@psychowpns22]

Mine has always been horizontal also with no issues, I was thinking the same thing when I bought it so I've kept it that way

[@MasterJediSean]

FYI, I think that Liquid Metal application was quite excessive. next time use a cotton bud to move the liquid metal from around the APU and re-spread that around. More was not necessary. Most if is squished out except for a nanometer film across the die. With liquid metal less is better, well actually this applies to thermal compound too. Cheers Steve!

[@JamesWSleight]

I bought a PS4 for 25 U$D (25.000 CLP) that was supposedly completely bad... I only did some measurements and it came back to life on its own. It was on 11.02 and I reverted it to 11.00, now waiting for GoldHen to be released ❤

So did you test it?

nice 2 channels i didn't know!

[@TronicsFixLongs]

Welcome to our second channel!

[@edition163]

I love your videos and I know because of danger and power you don’t want to show your followers dealing with the powersupply. But in my opinion, it would be perfect and the top of the crown 👑 , if you had tried and filmed to repair also the power supply, not only to change it. I think I also remember seeing you reparing already a power supply what had the transistor noise problem There are many ways to show & explain the rest power in transistors let them of power for a while or write and show at the beginning of your videos „not to be imitated or only for experienced electronics technicians“ I am interested what cause the problem and what was really broken, The actual problem was the power supply and the fan connection was therefore torn off Best regards from Germany

[@edition163]

Will / could you show us pls, what was the actual problem with the power supply? I’m definitely not the only one, who wants to know it 😅
