My First BROKEN PS5 Slim - Let's Fix It! This is the first broken PS5 Slim I've been able to buy from eBay. The seller said the screen randomly goes black and has artifacts. They also already replaced the HDMI port. Is there something more complicated going on? Or did something get missed in the repair process? Let's find out!

Hi, Stevie. I had stage 4 non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma too 1 year ago. Seven hard chemo sessions later, some days with strong nausea and fingertips feeling numb and I totally cured and feeling great. Stay strong and you will be better soon. Don't worry about being bald right now. Just use a hat to prevent sunburns. Best wishes for you and keep doing your astonishing work.

[@Tronicsfix]

That's my diagnosis as well. Thanks for the tips. I'm halfway through my treatments (3 of 6). It sucks but so far it's been manageable. Congrats on getting through it and glad you're cured!

As a bald guy (just general male pattern baldness) I second the suggestion to wear a hat. Way too many guys just walking around frying their bare brain cage.

Someone press the "that was easy" button

[@ChazYocom]

That was easy

[@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy]

Nothing is easy today. One day something works, the other don't. I mean even in this video, the disc drive is bricked because "it wasnt turned off properly" and you have to "register" your drive to unlock it's function ... F=k that! If I want to play a game I will play a game, and not waste my time patching, register, download, etc. And if I need to go somewhere then I will turn off my devices whenever I feel like and move on. If a thing stops being user friendly then we don't need it. Life is too short to be wasted on this crap. No wonder why millions of people quit gaming and toss these corporate trash products out.

[@HNedel]

The ssd drive is not broken, it performs a check​ for errors. Windows also does this sometimes. And having the option to pair the drive online is much much better than not having that option. I bought a broken Xbox Series X with an HDMI issue, fixed it only to find out that the disc drive was not original as it threw an error during software update. A log file on the ssd says it can’t authenticate the drive. That console is now bricked forever. The SSD is also matched to the console, so if it breaks you can’t just pop in a new one. You have to copy some data fron it first. If you can’t copy because the drive is toast, the console is bricked. In that sense, the PS5 is an improvement on the last few generations @@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy.

Dear Steve, as most of your subscribers, I'm also a fan of your work. I also wanted to tell you that I had covid a couple years ago so I had some really bad days that time.

You seems to be a happy and joyful person that really love and enjoy his work, and I think you have talent to transmit it through your videos.

Love your videos Steve. I did learn from to check the HDMI connectors on any thing that has a problem with HDMI be it a input to a monitor/TV or other devices or an output. I did pick up a 24" pc monitor new from a local computer shop that was returned by their customer not working out of the box. The shop supplier did not want it back and it had be replaced. It was for scrap and I did get the inputs working again by resoldering both of them VGA and HDMI port
