12:36 "NO, WE DON'T 😳" I love watching your repairs man 😄It's a fun adventure of "whoknowswhat" type of repairs awaits and heck sometimes not even Sony or other manufacturers were able to fix, but you find your way. Props for saving tech in whatever way possible. Here's hope that we will see more retro consoles getting saved too! 🤞🏻

BEST INFORMATION IVE GOTTEN SO FAR! ive been trying to clean my ps5 properly and this is the best detailed video ive came across along with all of your other ps5 videos i really apreciate your videos THANK YOU

The console that killed “the perfect amount of thermal paste”. RIP.

[@nintendork07]

the perfect amount of liquid metal 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@PyromancerRift]

"no liquid have been spilled !" unscrew the console, niagara falls out of the shell.

[@kirkanos3968]

IDK would have loved to see the inside of the fan.

[@blakefuentes7132]

people always be like “no its never been exposed to liquids 😐” device in question: rice in ports, liquid inside, board corroded

[@Ryan_DeWitt]

A lot of repair places will tell you straight out "Never ever trust what the customer tells you."

[@manithan9532]

​@@Ryan_DeWittthat's rude

[@volvo09]

Hahaha, I had a laptop come to me that "stopped working" and when I opened it up later on rice came out from the keyboard, and some was stuck in the vent. I joked and said "I found the rice, as you found out that doesn't work so well :) "

[@Flyzoola]

@@manithan9532 the thing is, most people that go in to get a repair aren't familiar with the issue, and a lot of the time will downplay their involvement in what happened or their neglect of an issue. That's why you don't trust what thr customer says other than general things about the issue they're having. I repair semis for a living, and you have no idea how often I have to repair things that a customer states "are working" Just yesterday I had a guy whose trailer didn't start, andwheb I checked it, the battery was from 2021, and the driver told me "I just changed the battery"

[@legendlalo]

@@manithan9532it’s not rude, people are stupid and if they’re not stupid they are cheap, and repair shops run the risk of their customers saying that they damaged their devices further

You’ve been my ASMR for years. Thanks for the content.

[@jonthecont]

Weird much?

[@gumbypokey7]

Would love to see slightly deeper dives into the actual root cause and troubleshooting on some of these vids. Not everyone has spare PS5's laying around for parts.

[@Regular_D09]

I've had to fix 3 of those fan connectors. I usually chip off some solder mask on the sides and make a ramp of solder in order to make seudo anchors for the port. Works pretty good, and they're sturdy.

[@FluffyFerretFarm]

Awesome.. enjoying the compilation.. I've been enjoying your videos for years and have given me the initiative to do maintenance and repairs on my own laptops and PC.. thank you.. I still need to talk the Mrs into an I-fixit tool kit though 😉🤘🏻

[@trappz_io2620]

You need to talk your gf into buying a £25 kit? What

[@J0ermungand]

Funny, I've had the shorted fan problem on a notebook before. But it wasn't a dead short, just over time while running it would short out randomly and the notebook would shut down. Took me a while to figure it out.

[@Flyzoola]

Watching the first repair, when it didn't turn on the second time, I immediately thought I'd be either the fan or the disk drive as something similar was happening to my PC with a CD-Rom drive lol

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

A real nice recap of your 2023 PS5 fixes.

[@hairodesuuu9039]

Happy repairs this holidays Mr. Steve.

[@malphasphenex]

great job brother that was an amazing episode to view

[@guillermodeleon6983]

I’ve had the same issue as you had in the past video where it keeps shutting off it may be the power supply however it stays on for awhile if you leave it on main menu but once you start a game it shuts off

[@Seriouslydave]

Hi Steve, i watch your channel all the time, especially older teardowns and repairs. I have a question about an xbox one slim. I repaired one for my son for christmas by replacing the hard drive and it was going great for a week, but then it just died, i opened it up and see 4-6 resistor or capacitor s had corrosion around that little area. How can i get the exact parts to replace them like a schematic or parts list. I cleaned them up but still nogo. He's bummed out and id like to fix it again for him. So he can get back on.

[@EeekiE]

Seeing things get fixed is so satisfying

[@winlover37]

It's really fun to do yourself, even without soldering skills a lot of repairs just call for a part replacement or a clean and reassembly. The best part are the deals you can nab if you're comfortable with this stuff, got a Halo 3 edition 360 for wicked cheap and she works like a charm now.

[@dominikinfante9002]

Same to you!

[@liquidsteel8131]

I never intend on fixing any electronics, I just enjoy watching you fix items. And the rare episodes that you invite your wife in, makes those episodes much more entertaining. The occasional timed that an item can not be fixed is satisfying to me because we know that you now have spare parts for another project later on. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years to you and your family. 🫡

[@12345.......]

I remember that first ps5. That was a fun one

[@Tronicsfix]

Yeah, these were all some fun ones to fix!

I have a PS5 w/disk drive for 3 years and its been sitting vertically from day 1. Should i worry about the thermal paste running off?

So I have to ask out of curiosity. How did you learn all the circuitry for this an other devices ?? I enjoy process of fixing thing but, Would be so nervous not knowing what each chip does and such.

What would happen if you just used a normal quality thermal paste on the PS5?

[@marc-oliviergirard7480]

Hi, i have watched a few of your videos, very interstin lloking at these. particularly the one with a bunch of ps5. I was wondering concerning, the ones that freezes few second after starting a game, have you ever find a cure? Because mine just starting degrading quickly, in a matter of a week it went from 1 freeze a day to freezing after 10-20 sec after starting a game. then a tried the orher i have been playing the 1st week without any issues and it did the exact same thing, 29 sec gameplay then freeze. I am clueless and wonder if it worth bring it in to my local repair, because warrenty worned out and 300 dollars to send it back to sony worries me as i have see instances of people receiving back their ps5 with the problem persisting. what should I do? buy a new one 😅?

I was able to power it back on and play for about an hour but same thing it shuts off and I have to remove the power cord in order to get it to turn back on. Is there any advice you could give me? If you take repairs I would gladly send you the console I tried Sony but they wanted $250 and couldn’t guarantee a fix.

Hey my ps4 stopped sucking and ejecting any disk but it can read them so i started doing it manually till i took it yesterday to a repair shop and he said it can't be repaired due to the many times i ejected and inserted it manually he claims that there's a plastic got loosen or something because of me doing it manually and said that the only solution is getting a new disk drive I'm finding it hard to believe him is what he saying true? Cuz you never covered that in your repairs Let me know your response as soon as possible please and thank you . It is a ps4 slim anyway

[@lscales6131]

I had a neighbor tell me he had a problem with Sony and the warranty. He lived in AZ at the time and when his son’s PS4 stopped reading the discs he sent it back to get repaired. They said it had liquid damage and he knew it was false. So he took it to a local repair shop and they showed him very little spots that look like water in the inside. But nothing on the board or anything it was like just 3-4 spots. He also noticed it wasn’t in the same box that he sent it to them in. Turns out that to where they sent the PS4 to get repaired had all their boxes they had improperly stored them so that humidity would be a problem. A lot of the boxes got destroyed while waiting to get repaired. My neighbor is a lawyer and told them he’d file a class action suite if they didn’t fix it and they crumbled. Sticky stuff though is a dead giveaway.

[@zephyr_edits_5551]

[@IainDoes3Dprints-Gaming]

I've never really understood why you send away to get cleaned, you always done a good job yourself and enjoyed watching

[@Kuromaki009]

This makes me come to a theory that Sony doesn't really want to do much effort into fixing a console, encouraging that customer to buy a brand new one. It was afterall a simple fix by discovering that the fan is mainly the problem other than some cleaning of water damage.

[@austinsewell30]

I trust the factory crimps on the fan and power connectors, I'd never use a tool to pull those apart, just yoink the wires and if it breaks you re-crimp or splice the wire instead of trace repair... just me though

[@Darth_Victrus]

I bought a second-hand Xbox Elite series 2 controller, I needed to change the front and back cover, when I was taking it apart, I noticed that there was liquid on the battery, I cleaned everything, I was lucky because there was no liquid on the motherboard etc. I hope I don't have any problems in the future.
