I'd be curious to know if the HDMI retimer chips have gone bad on the artefacting ones, or maybe the APU's need reballing because of cracked solder from a drop. It'd be cool to see you give that a try!

[@mndlessdrwer]

I can't imagine how tedious it would be to reball such a chip. I'm betting it's got over 2000 pads to get those teeny tiny solder balls onto. I doubt templates exist that would fit the pattern, so you'd either have to make one or have one made, or you'd have to manually place them. Sounds like a nightmare.

[@wesrrowlands8309]

The fact that there's this many broken ones makes me glad i'm in no hurry.

[@Jaykurosakii]

Most of these are because of dust build up inside the ps5 from nasty unclean environments or people not placing their systems in ventilated area

[@TheLastxtear]

At the place i work at, we have a list of things to fix. They give you a certain amount of days to fix it. So most of the time when someone is hitting the deadline. They just say its not repairable and put it as faulty because it reduce the work load faster. They dont get in trouble for not finishing. Plus they know that a second person will not check it.

[@Erulin68]

A lot of them were probably seen as broken because of the external HD/SSD issues that make the system unstable.

PLEASE BE AWARE: There's someone impersonating me in the comments section. Please don't contact them...they will scam you. I'm verified on KZbin so if you see a comment from me be sure that it's my verified account. ALSO... these PS5's were bought from a retailer, then returned to the retailer and likely exchanged for another PS5. Not all PS5's are sent back to Sony...you can also take them back to the store that you bought them from. When that happens the store doesn't send them back to Sony...they sell them off as salvage.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

The ones that won't start a game, probably have bad RAM. Probably got fried from the poor cooling design. The upper RAM chips can reach 80-100C (Gamers Nexus went into this). The ones that were open already made me kinda cringe, because most people that open these things have no idea what they're doing and make me think of the time Al Bundy was trying to fix his car (he opened the hood and had no idea what he was looking at).

@@TigerAceSullivan Yep...Gamer's Nexus did a whole video on PS5 cooling, and how some of the upper RAM chips are basically not getting cooled at all.

My question is. Why on earth didn't the people who bought those consoles just send them to Sony for warranty repair?? Don't tell me they bought them on ebay and DID NOT buy a warranty with them? Talk about throwing money away.

[@yikes2096]

Exactly and if Sony do get their hands on them they would fix and resell refurbished. Something seems fishy. I don't understand how someone would received a broken ps5 in these times and not warranty it, because it is still in warranty guaranteed.

[@selinanoob8184]

They may of got them off game stop , game or Amazon ect and just returned them , then the stores just replace them and liquidated them.

[@Windows71246]

Agreed, there only a few months old still within the warranty period same for the PS5 controllers should just take them to Sony. 🤷‍♀️

[@V8Supercar1]

@@selinanoob8184 That probably makes sense. I guess I could see that scenario.

[@Petrefax.]

Maybe those consoles were resold and only the original buyer has the official receipt. Sony only provides warranty with a copy of the original receipt.

Just a heads up, although you're probably already aware of this. Some PS5s have issues where they can't play raytraced content but everything else works fine, raytracing will the PS5 crash no matter the game, some of these could have had that problem, since you tested PS4 games on them. Anyways love the videos and usually just lurk, but thought this time I'd give you a heads up

[@evilterrorr]

This is what happend to mine. after some resets and stuff the crashes became more frequent and faster to the point of not even reaching the home screen on a PS5 game, making it a glorified PS4 emulator.
