Hey everyone. I was going to add a sponsor to this video but forgot to drop the segment in, so 02:22:00 may seem a little weird. Don't worry, I'm aware lol. Thanks for watching. I've added an edit so in a few hours that'll be removed but rather than delay the video any longer I'd rather just leave it as is until the edit is processed :)
I enjoy watching your vids, found the different parts and deep down inside every console very interesting and crazy enough to say therapeutic 😊.your knowledge is exceptional. Keep up the great content.
I love ur videos it helps me learn how to take care of my consoles and ur always entertaining. Thank u for ur time and effort in making the content. Cheers
when you pointed at the screen and yelled: "work!" I said: "magic ✨" 0.05 seconds later you said it too I have never subscribed to a channel so fast in my life. 😆 awesome content, keep up the amazing work man! 👏🏻 🤝🏻
I've serviced at least 30 consoles this past year (from OG playstation 1 originals to PS4 pros) and it's amazing how dirty they can become. The consoles you cleaned were absolutely disgusting. I respect you for setting boundaries on keeping the power supply closed. Those high voltage capacitors are not something to be taken lightly. Keep up the great work!
Gut feel is good to go by, I don't know his training or background but with his setup I wouldn't touch PSU's either, with my old setup I would, but I've done that kind of stuff before enough to be comfy with it. Plus I did stuff like that in school and professionally too. I used to fix all kinds of stuff years ago, but I used to work on things like high power output radios and such too, went from that to fixing consoles and prototyping a bunch of stuff. Then jumped over to software development, but I should still have most of my old gear in storage.
You might not have the perfect amount of thermal paste but you have the best damn thermal paste money can buy. A blend consisting of all top tier best tested thermal pastes mixed together. 😂👍
Hi absolutely love all of your videos I have watched most of them but I was just checking if my phone is working properly this videos audio doesn’t seem match the pictures about a two second delay 🤔
Buzzing Phill, here’s a bit of advise never buy job lot of TVs faulty ever no matter what they say on the advert. I brought a couple pallets a few years ago and they were just total bs mainboard faults and disguised panel faults never had any luck with them 😭😭
I have a ps 4 pro that used to switch off after a couple of hours playing call of duty, I took it apart and cleaned it but now won’t switch on, I have replaced the thermal paste yet would that stop it from turning on do you think
Oofta. Those consoles were...uhhhh...Phil-thy, LOL. I just did a semi-deep clean to my PC yesterday, and man, what a pain in the ass! It never fails that when you do a deep clean like that to a PC you invariably end up doing a full cable management job too. One thing that annoys the crap out of me is how Sony tended to use shiny, acrylic plastics on their consoles. No matter what you do they will always scuff, and scratch due to how soft acrylic is. Granted, they've since used less of it, but even the PS5s have that center piece that still scratches. Just out of curiosity, what happens when a console has been banned? I've never owned a console that required a net connection so I have no idea. I have a Gamecube, and an old fatboy PS2. The PS2 came with some sort of internet connection disk, but I've never even put it in the console. I prefer to play games by myself, and am probably one of the few people who despises online, multiplayer games.
Please explain why you cannot revert the firmware to the original version? I take an interest in your videos but do not have any consoles myself! Keep up the videos you are a natural UA-camr...
Thanks bud. Unfortunately every time the console gets updated it burns out something called an e-fuse, sort of like a virtual fuse which then gets checked by the system during an update to prevent you from reverting to the previous version
@@TheCod3r Thanks for the swift reply (do you actually go to sleep!) I am aware of e-fuses, however, my old brain never realized they where burned by design at every firmware upgrade. I now understand why some people suggest it's often best not upgrade firmware 'willy-.nilly' on consoles.
" Now that resistor has just come off, just by probing it. Now that's not meant to happen" Great video mate really great but you do have a wonderful capacity to state the obvious. I enjoyed watching your skills in this video and your calm approach to diagnosing and fixing problems as you go along. A truly magnificent effort on your part, they were some pretty cruddy playstations but you cleaned and repaired them wonderfully. You have a very calm soothing voice, a truly great fixit video. Well done and 🎊 congratulations.
Wonder if he could have just upgraded the star wars system to 9.00? It's possible it would have worked still as a exploitable system. I don't think the blu ray drive is needed for most things people exploit them for. Unless the system errors out because of the faulty disc drive?
Possibly yeah, I think I worked on this before I found out about 9.00 not needing the bdrom to do the exploit, but I've killed the board I think since then 😞
It would but one problem I have ag the minute is working in the loft and mainly at night I have to be careful about how much noise I make so I don't wake anyone up in the house. When I move I'll definitely be doing that ;)
Oehh starwars idition! Damn I Wanne fix these things too! I ordered a cheap old PS4 to fix but got scammed. I'm so sick and tired of people and there scams on marketplace but I gues I should also drive and get the things myself. But litterly they send you on a car drive to the other side of they country and than they are not there. Imagine that you completly ruin somebodies day for 50 euro. I wouldnt want to do that to Somebody. Sorry for my rant but it's hard being a repair guy xD
I have a PlayStation 4 Pro...and it has gone into safe mode .I have tried everything possible except a new hard drive for it...I also tried buying a new USB stick and putting a file onto it then plugging it into ps4 and tried to load the file that didn't work either.....what would you suggest except getting a hammer to it lol
Yeah power supplies can hold charge for a very long time, and if you touch the wrong place it can give you a nasty shock, potentially lethal depending who is working on it
After all that would of been better giving him 50 quid for vr and selling that 170 1 ps4 120 another 3rd broken (dead) so that’s £300 still £20 down and £50 petrol sell vrr £200 that’s peak u got done bro selling parts is clutching at straws oh well u live and learn
To be honest I'm actually going to end in profit once the star wars sells. I sold the vr for £175 already, the og ps4 for £140 and the star wars I've had a lot of interest at £245 so I should be able to finalise at £200 easily. I've also sold the hard drive from this one for £20 lol. Fuel only cost me about £20 (economical car, astra 1.6 2015 petrol, about 50mpg). Parts I don't generally have a problem selling too and I always need chips from boards 😁
I can't believe ya'll are so fussy about dust and then not clean the power supply. Ya'll should label it thus upon sale because it is just as important as anywhere else. Or even more so. If ya'll don't know how to discharge capacitors then yee twoud fool me. Maybe they have got ya'll in times past. Just have a resistor soldered to the tip of a plastic handled screwdriver if nothing else. Just me but it degrades from a good tech shop.

Wrong way to contact you.👍

Thank you, your great.👍
Well done
You can remove those scratches with polywatch.. it's a polish for acrylic watch crystals. I know it's only cosmetics but may be worth a tenner more..

How hard it is to use a vacuum cleaner with the bush together. It will be cleaned up much better.
Steve from TronicsFix couldn't have done any better. That thermal paste was perfect.
Very very cool codo3r hope you worth fix dud... 👀
Did I see smoke at 32:21...? ;)
damn i should find your channel time ago u have great stuff bro u can even stream some epic games i hope u grow more
I’d be surprised if the Star Wars Pro was launched at the claimed FW version (too late?), so was iffy from the start.
£325 !...yep that was a bargain alright for that amount of gear ! 😊
I would have driven 202 miles for that. Amazing bargain.
Has the solder squeezing out ever shorted from the large pad to one of the pins?
good one, again, regards.😁
Thanks bud 👍
Nice find phill
Cheers bud 👍
43:06 had a pretty good spark
Yeah I saw that in editing, definitely took a hit

6.0 is actually a good firmare
i got ps4 needs cleaning inside how much would that be
Iv no interest in circuit boards in the slightest.. but im hooked !! 🤣👍
Thanks so much, really appreciate that!
to clean the fan is that video magic or did you pop the bottom of without removing screws?
The fan has only 4 screws on top, 2 of which are removed when removing the main board. It uses the PS4 shell itself as a side.
I have a PS3 can you fix it.? I don't know were to get it fixed.
Good gawd these things were filthy

@@TheCod3r it is hollow_life mate. SWBF consoles, when they came out, had 4.73 ios on them. It is a bit awkward to hear that you were expecting 2.5
How do you make sure that the overflowing solder from the centerpad is not connecting to any other pads?
Im a newbie 😇
It just squeezes out with pressure mate. Never personally had a problem so as long as you're using flux you'll be fine 😀
Appreciate your answer! I really like learning from you and your videos, a lot of knowledge and experience there ! Keep up your good work 👍
Mate your so clever.
Nice find. But 102 miles driving is the real hustle tbh
Yeah the time sink and gas shouldn't be understated but good find regardless
Good.job
hi phil :)
Phil very risky driving that far these days . GTA 6 hacked AWESOME
Are you selling the white ps4 pro
hello the audio is delayd for about 5 seconds later
It's not showing a delay for me mate
It is desynced badly on TV versions of the UA-cam app. It gets to the astrobot bit and it then desyncs audio
@@TheCod3r maybe it was my laptop it is a bit old but normaly it doesnt strugle with 1080p youtube videos
Let’s go ! phil
Would it not make sense to get a vacuum with an ESD safe brush at the end as opposed to using a brush and breathing any of that shit in?
It would but one problem I have ag the minute is working in the loft and mainly at night I have to be careful about how much noise I make so I don't wake anyone up in the house. When I move I'll definitely be doing that ;)
I've never received a free game from a console yet
Red flag immediately when you said the Star Wars pro was on FW2.50. They didn’t ship with FW2.50 from the factory haha
Yeah seller was trying to trick him into getting the lot possibly
I didn't actually know that. I still think it could've been a mistake on the seller's part though, I don't think it would've been deliberate
Are u same coder from cable scene
the star wars ps4 was a pro model, as far as i know, the pro model was released much later than 2.50… I think with 5.0? it never was a 2.50 😉
My hdd is done for ps4 I need a new one
I drive 140 miles daily for commute
One suggestion is to wear a mask while dusting off, that dust is supper fine and tiny and can make your lungs cry in the long run.
think u missed a screw lol
Any one know if GTA 6 got clips from TWIN TOWN gotta watch it phill ???????????????????????????
