Restoring TRASHED PS4's - From Boxes of Parts to Working Consoles

[@Tronicsfix]

Would you like to see me do more restorations on this channel? If so what would you like to see me restore? Thanks for watching!

[@gamingtopps8975]

i know this is a bit old but since you are a console expert could you try restore a ps3

[@arxfat]

Would really like to see some Dualshock 4 controllers

[@fridge6000]

Where do you get the broken consoles from?

[@gamingtopps8975]

DiamondTiger99 ebay he says it in the video

[@winnerboy7777]

probably not as profitable for you, but definitely more entertaining for me!

[@M365ITTuts]

I'm not sure why but I've started watching this dude fixing consoles every day before I go to sleep. Not sure why but these videos are relaxing in some way

[@MrGio821]

Yeah me too same :)

[@rla9889]

Likewise, these videos are super chill and very satisfying to watch.

yesterday: Repair brooken consoles today: Repair consoles in parts tomorrow: build a consoles with my own manufactured parts

[@Tronicsfix]

That would be awesome! I'm looking into doing some types of build videos!

[@SDRIFTERAbdlmounaim]

the day after tomorrow : tronicfix guy repairs the coronavirus back to it's none existent state

[@KennethDodds42]

Yes build a monolith where you have all 3 consoles in one case. It would be interesting to see how you make it work.

@Rebecca Huggins - with that comment it tells me you are fairly new to the channel. His comment is aimed at the haters/trolls that come out and state that it's "not enough" or "too much" and really IT IS THE PERFECT AMOUNT! Now you know... BTW, he didn't say it on the second one, FAIL! LOL

[@rebeccahuggins6782]

behind you I know, right. He’s showing off.

[@SpartanPorElMundo]

I loved all the care and love you put into that poor PS4s, thank you, they needed it.

[@mazda9624]

Ok that PS4 Slim had a rough life with literally everything being smashed up AND water damage... ... but of course TronicsFix made it run like nothing

[@PSHomebrew]

Ha.. Simples 😂

[@miguelsaavedra9600]

pff water damage and hammered, no problem!

[@davecrimson901]

Looks like someone took a hammer to it, then threw it in a lake, boxed it up, and sent it to tonicsfix. Seller: "Let's see him fix this one! 🤣" Tronicsfix: "Here, hold my beer and watch this."

[@fogel5680]

[@MFTony727]

Another very thorough video. I have a few broken ps4 consoles myself. Watching this gives me the motivation to get it done.

[@davidh328]

I’m hooked on your vids! Just wish you uploaded more 😂

[@Tronicsfix]

So glad you're enjoying them! I wish I could upload more too! I'm pretty maxed out right now but maybe in the future I can do more.

[@davidh328]

TronicsFix No worries dude, I fully understand how manic life can be. I’ll accept quality over quantity any day 👍🏻

This is quite the ASMR episode, Steve. Thank you so much especially with the lockdown and quarantine that's going on around the world. Certainly, worth watching to pass the time. Appreciate it.

I could watch this guy fix things for days, he really has it down to a science and the videos are very informative. Keep moving forward Bro!

[@mr.stealyogurl869]

I’ve learned so much from watching all of ur vids that I went out and bought myself a “broken” Xbox one x off eBay for $145, watched a couple of ur videos and now I’ve got my very own Xbox one x for the amazing price of $170, my second Xbox since the 360 (I’m more of a PlayStation kinda guy) but can’t wait to play gta in 4K 😆😆😆

[@fakefamehunter4590]

Wat was broken

[@Some_Jihadi_Warrior-me1rz]

You are amazing, i also want to get myself a ps4 in this way.

[@pierregoldstein]

Yo real talk! I was crossing my fingers when you were jumping the cables on the hdmi, I enjoy seeing you victories good sir!

[@kindalost1]

Been following your vids for quite a while, Just wanted to drop thank you. It is because of you i was able to replace an entire cable plug charger (with soldering to an old not the same brand mother board). You gave me the courage and knowledge to fix it. And its not even a ps4 fix :) - all worked great bought the cable for a 1.5 usd and tested all using a multimeter pre plugging. All good. Thanks again.

[@johngingras]

That looked like the *PERFECT* amount of thermal paste you used!

[@thomashenley3890]

would really like to see some more "solid numbers" in the videos. i remember on past videos you would show us the amount spent, how much the new pieces would cost, and an estimated selling prive for whats been restored i say this as it beings a sortov "conclusion" to the video and personally a level of satisfaction after watching your work, seeing how the work is worth the effort

[@robbie7465]

Nice to see you work for it, nowdays everybode thinks just flipping and makin money. You are showing that it is worth saving stuff and that it can be hard to make money of it. Love your detailed video at the other end of the ocean.

[@Tronicsfix]

It can be super tough to make money at it...but still possible if you're skilled enough.

great video. nice change of pace from the Switch videos. Masterful work being able to restore those PS4's. They were in bad shape

[@filmlearning]

That's it! I'm putting 58 Switch, PS4, and Atari systems in my dryer to mix for a few hours. Then I'll send you the parts in a used Amazon box and watch you get excited about reassembling them with thermal paste! Awesome Video.

Some things I look at and just say "nope"! That would be one of those! Ha, ha!

Big fan of these videos! Love taking a box full of random crap and turning it into working machines. You are a literal wizard.

You make it look so easy and intriguing at the same time. I’d like to see you restore older consoles like PS3, PS2, and Sega Saturns for example. 🔥👍

[@Tronicsfix]

I will do some older stuff at some point.
