My First BROKEN PS5 Slim - Let's Fix It!

[@yano.moraes1492]

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!

[@NebachadnezzaR]

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.

[@rabi0ne]

Damn i just knew Stevie was ill... Best of luck! Stay strong!

[@dinosaursneverexisted8985]

Why did you replace the disc drive if it was working?🤔

[@scottykid93]

When I was 13 years old I had non Hodgkin's lymphoma large cell stage 3 or as we call it b cell and I'm 30 years old now .I got a lot of health problems due to it but thank God I'm still alive . But I don't got a immune system I get this fake immune system called ivig I've been getting it since I was 13 years old I got nerve damage from chemo.

[@RyanMercer]

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.

@@adamthiry868 I wonder what the purpose of digitally marrying it if you can put it in another unit. I suppose they can obsolesce them digitally. Basically like bricking a phone, they would just have to blacklist that drive and it's a paperweight even if it works just fine.

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

PS5 Slim is not older than one year so why customers are not repairing it under warranty? I understand that mechanical damage is not covered but I see lot of videos on youtube when PS5 has for example GPU failure and people sending it for repair to unauthorized services.

[@JzLyfe]

Cause not everybody is informed about this. I didn't know untill I actually read my manual 😂 you just have to pay for shipping that's it. Oh call and make a warranty claim first, if you don't have a receipt even with the model number or whatever they can actually pull up what store you purchased this at. Pretty cool.

[@rolandcolavizza5368]

Maybe they bought it on the grey market from overseas

[@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy]

Because not everyone have money to waste on shipping / postage costs which are expensive as hell and often get back broken items since the postal services break it again ... Also because often some of these are bought outside of stores and therefore warranty is hard to cover when you have zero legal proof that you even bought the damn thing ... There was (still is) a major shortage of PS4 and PS5 consoles in USA so many of these were imported from Europe or where ever so what now?! You casually going to ship it back to Europe or Asia for the "nearest" warranty repair shop?! Ofc not. People do whatever they can do to get by.
