I Bought the Brokenest PS4 on eBay for $40 - Can I Fix it?

I Bought the Brokenest PS4 on eBay - Can I Fix it? I spent $40 on eBay to buy a really broken PS4 Slim. After piecing it back together, replacing a ribbon cable, and checking some fuses on the motherboard I was ready to give it a test. And it didn't work. After looking around a bit more it looks like this console was likely dropped. I tried replacing a missing capacitor and even reflowed some of the chips on the motherboard. Can I get this thing to work? Stay tuned until the end to see.

After watching you for the first time last night, I was inspired to start fixing ps4s! I already jailbreak and fix ps3s, but I wanted to try a PS4. So today I actually brought a broken PS4 from a local for $40! It had cooling issues, had I not watched your videos last night, I would've struggled to navigate the PS4 system. I pulled it completely apart and cleaned everything from top to bottom. I also reapplied thermal compound and put it all back together and tested it. It works perfectly!! Very happy now and I thank you for your help in navigating the PS4 hardware!

By watching this vid I can see how much damage can be done to devices like these. All it takes is a little bit of carelessness and an external force to be this devastating.

[@rwxstudio7173]

So, back in the DOS era, just before Windows 3.0 released, I made a program in Quick Basic. Little did I know that every time I tested the save feature it was copying all of the code into whatever directory I was in. It was on somebody else's computer. Turns out the owner was confused as to why his hard drive had less space than before. Turns out I had made over a dozen copies of the game in a bunch of different directories. I was banned from using his computer ever again.

I think it is not a Problem.

[@ryans413]

No that’s normal I’ve seen these slim motherboards and that’s how they are. The one he replaced yea that was missing.

[@skyeanderson4976]

It has to do with designing of motherboards. They sometimes have extra solder pads or spots for capacitors or other components. When a specific model of a product is designed,they use the motherboard and place specific components in specific places. Some designs don’t require extra capacitors or chips. It is cheaper for a company to have one board designed that can be used with multiple different schematic designs...rather than paying more to have multiple motherboards designed. The extra pads are there in case the manufacturer that assembles components needs to add capacitors to fulfill a specific schematic. Sometimes for example,a laptop motherboard will be used on multiple different versions with i3 or i5 processors,maybe even low end atoms. The components and selection of these components are different in many places on the board,but the motherboard itself is identical to the other model laptops. The CPU and circuitry is just differently laid out according to the schematic requirements for the different model laptop

That was really interesting to watch, it's good you showed real life that things don't always work out. If that makes any sense.

30 sec in "oh boy, what did i get myself into?"

[@rocktoroll77]

Do a video on fixing old stereo receivers or stereo’s in general

[@ryans413]

You mean the analog amps cause the digital ones are boring

[@lasermanofphysics4570]

Glad you got your mic fixed and I hope you weren't insulted by some of the comments ppl made about it on the last video. Glad to see you back up and running videos again. Thanks.

Sometimes it's a matter of putting out a video that isn't what I want it to be or not putting out a video at all.

[@m.e.h.8304]

Love watching these videos, I love fixing stuff or at least trying to do so.

[@ryandobson9164]

I actually came to this channel to see if I could learn how to fix my laptop screen.. my trusty acer chromebook 14. Well I didnt, but still, this channel is absolutely great! I dont have nearly enough tools or competence to do any of this, but its loads of fun to watch!

[@Tronicsfix]

Thanks for watching! I don't generally repair computers since there's so many others out there doing it but maybe sometime in the future I will.

[@parsianproductions6596]

Atleast there was no roaches on this one lol

[@1970sSupertramp]

I bloody love these uploads!

[@Tronicsfix]

Glad you're enjoying these!

[@1970sSupertramp]

@@Tronicsfix I think you're amazing at these things.and i was so hoping it was going to work but i do understand there's only so much you can/want to do. and thanks for putting these videos on here i really DO enjoy your channel.

[@MrAbdemon]

Never searched for this, no clue what's going on, can't stop watching. SUBSCRIBED.

[@Rokynutz]

Every time I drive through Walla Walla, I wonder what you’re up to. Lol

[@Tronicsfix]

Probably just trying to fix broken stuff!

"If it ain't broken, fix it 'til it is."

[@ryanwakebradtelle8682]

It was $40 take out the Blu-ray Drive in the hard drive, and turn it into an oversized phone charger, to get an equivalent phone charger with that many boards at least $30

[@teacup2849]

should be on a t-shirt.

[@victorn6646]

Or in this case, if it's broken, you still can't fix it.

[@dzikibill6756]

Love your videos ! Always enjoying your videos if the product is more broken then usual, then even more !! :)

[@Tronicsfix]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@meahall]

Just came across your channel recently, and I've been really enjoying watching the repairs. I was wondering, do you think you would ever do a video on repairs for stereo amplifiers and the like? I've fixed them in the past, but that was down to more luck than anything else, and I'd really enjoy seeing it explained better.

[@Tronicsfix]

Glad you're enjoying the videos! I'm not sure if I'll ever do those. I know very little about them but hey, who knows!

[@meahall]

@@Tronicsfix Hey its fine with me either way. Thanks for the reply!

[@miroslav513]

"Brokenest" is not a word.

[@Tronicsfix]

It's totally a werd!

[@ExoGelatin]

@@Tronicsfix lol

[@RebeccaG90]

Anything can be a word if you believe hard enough

[@ExoGelatin]

@@RebeccaG90 I feel an 80's fantasy children's movie theme coming on

[@Jwick-xu8cz]

This dude looks like the fisher guy of zelda oot

[@eljunny]

I really like to fix random electronic stuff, specially consoles, and I love this channel, makes me want open a YT channel doing my repairs

[@Tronicsfix]

Do it!

[@obifuntoknowme]

I don’t know why but I find your videos really relaxing to watch.
