Steve, your "leaded & unleaded mix" comment gave me a flashback to the mid 1990's when I half filled a friend's 1985 Fiat Panda with unleaded petrol by mistake, then switched realising it should have been leaded. She got rid of the car not long afterwards. Great video as always 👏

[@matthewbowers88]

I've learnt so much from this channel. Right now I'm on with fixing a jet wash. I've fixed one of those bins with a motion sensor. I've replaced a phone screen. I'm on the lookout for a KitchenAid mixer. It's not the fix, it's the confidence of let's have a go. I haven't been able to get a cheapo console but I've got the spare ports ready for when I do.

[@reesmundin5619]

Love your vids steve. Liquid metal-cotton bud soaked in ipa. Use it to group together the liquid metal, suck it up with a syringe. On both the die and heatsink. Then you can see the full extent of the oxidisation. Clean that off with a fresh cotton swab and ipa. If the oxidisation is too bad to remove with that i use 6000 grit sandpaper to remove the rest. Re apply the original liquid metal and respread it on both the die and heatsink. Job done. Hope that helps

Good job. As for blowing out the fan like that. You can destroy fan pretty easily cleaning it like that. Should put your finger or something in it to prevent it from spinning and then spray. :/

[@LozzTheDev]

Fun doing HDMI connectors! I additionally normally wick the anchor points so they are clear of solder, place the new connector on, apply los of flux, push down and solder pins. Once you're happy connector is on level and pins married up and soldered, solder the anchor points ;-)

Hi Steve, I'm a recent subscriber and I've binge watched about 30 of your videos in a row. Great channel, lovely bit of entertainment and vicariously living through your electronic-fixing wins. The rap and the music are lovely added bonuses. Keep up the great work from Matt in Bristol.

[@PaulMawdsley68]

Excellent work fella! I really recommend not spinning the fans up with compressed air or a blower / hoover - fun as it is (both for cats and dudes), they can self destruct at the speeds that generates!

I certainly hope you didn't allow me to cyberbully you about your music. You shouldn't let the internet dictate your life, bruv. I really do enjoy your content and have already learned quite a bit from your fault tracing procedures etc. I'm South African, I also enjoy tinkering with electronics. I almost gave up after seeing how small components started getting, then you showed up on my youtube with your microscope. They cost about £50 here, definitely getting one A.S.A.P. Anyway keep up the good work, have a good evening, cheers.

[@carlmiles8948]

Great video.. It is really great to hear the word solder...not sodder

[@zKaltern]

I used to work for PSN Hardware Support. The number of calls I had about damaged HDMI sockets was quite impressive. I don't know exactly why, but they DO seem to be unusually delicate. I mean HDMI sockets in general are terrible, but the PS5 ones seemed to be quite easy to damage. I think a lot of it would be eager hand fumbling around the back of the console and trying to shove the plug in without looking... but still. Anyway good repair, maybe get some d-Brand plates for the case if it's a little scuffed? :D

[@StezStixFix]

Good shout on the plates! Yeah, the PS5 ports seem to fail way more often than the Xbox counterpart! 😮

[@yotoprules9361]

According to TheCod3r, who repairs these all the time, the early revisions used a very weak HDMI port, and they use a much stronger port in later revisions.

[@secretbaseinvestigations7039]

Is there any chance of detailing the iron/hot station temps & roughly how long you’re blowing for (depends on the man, Madame…), in the descriptions? For those of us who do this sort of hobby rarely, it’s a help. Keep up the good stuff!

11:10 I've heard it's not a good idea to blow air into fans and let them spin drastically faster than they normally would spin. It's bad for the bearings in the fan I believe. Nice repair! The balloon is such a mystery.

cotton swab and 91 - 99% is isopropyl alcohol to clean up the oxidation from the liquid on the APU and heatsink. The use the dry side to rub the same liquid metal back on the system. Sony provides more than enough on the the PS5. Great job though. Loved the video

[@Wanton110]

I have 2 solder fume extractors, one of the big..ish.. ones and a small one with a hose.. I use the hose one for actual solder fumes and the big one for dust

You have to scrub the dry spot from the APU die and the heat sink until you can easily spread liquid metal on them, not just cover them up.

Don't let fan blades spin while cleaning/dusting them, normally theis matters most of the fan is still plugged in, as to not create voltage in the system it's plugged into, but even while not plugged in it also places abnormal stress on the motor for the fan

[@blueskies792]

@11:15 Oh Steve dont destroy that fan! Its a generator when spinning like that.

[@TheStonedSpidR]

dont ever let the toxic trolls get to you, youre awesome just the way you are. i love your vids.also youre supposed to use the special qtip that comes with the liquid metal. i think the qtip will leave cotton threads

[@BGPhilbin]

Steve, please, please get yourself a filtration unit for the room in which you work. If, for no other reason, to ensure that there's less dust, but also so that the smoke, etc., that sometimes results from your projects has much less chance to build up in your respiratory system (along with the dust). As someone whose dad worked as a fireman, I can tell you that it's just as important to have protective equipment like filters as it is to perform the job. We all want you to take care of yourself!

[@MizuhoChan]

Also, you don't need to mark the screws with sharpie, they're already marked on the shield, anywhere you see -O-, you don't put a screw.

[@StezStixFix]

[@MizuhoChan]

@@StezStixFix Sorry, I was rude, having a bad day, but it was very well soldered, congrats :)

'Constant Nudity', instead of 'Continuity'

[@Eric_G65]

Steve, a few things that other people probably mentioned. I think you removed the port upside down. Steve at Tronicsfix always turns the board the other way and lets the port fall out. When you clean the fan, you should never allow the fan to spin with compressed air because you can overdrive the fan and potentially damage the bearings or even damage the control board. You also put way too much liquid metal on the APU. Also, why don't you use a power screwdriver, you can get pretty decent ones from Temu or Aliexpress. Your wrist must kill after this kind of repair.

[@yotoprules9361]

I don't think it matter, Phil at TheCod3r does it the same way Steve did and he repairs these for a living. As long as the solder is liquified you shouldn't damage anything

[@ninatheambulancecamper]

I’m wondering if they had a PSVR2 headset with it to factory reset it ? That plugs in the usb in the front panel. Maybe the says why it got pulled off the surface it was on and caused the drop ? The usb would have pulled out easily, hdmi plugs are quite tight fitting.
