people always be like “no its never been exposed to liquids 😐”
device in question: rice in ports, liquid inside, board corroded
A lot of repair places will tell you straight out "Never ever trust what the customer tells you."
@@Ryan_DeWittthat's rude
Hahaha, I had a laptop come to me that "stopped working" and when I opened it up later on rice came out from the keyboard, and some was stuck in the vent.
I joked and said "I found the rice, as you found out that doesn't work so well :) "
The console that killed “the perfect amount of thermal paste”. RIP.
@@Mongo-han😂 easy bro
the perfect amount of liquid metal 🤷🏻♂️
12:36 "NO, WE DON'T 😳" I love watching your repairs man 😄It's a fun adventure of "whoknowswhat" type of repairs awaits and heck sometimes not even Sony or other manufacturers were able to fix, but you find your way. Props for saving tech in whatever way possible. Here's hope that we will see more retro consoles getting saved too! 🤞🏻
You have got so much better over the year and this years even better. love this content
This channel, has the perfect amount of UA-cam content, you think ?
@@dmitchell1713 agree
BEST INFORMATION IVE GOTTEN SO FAR!
ive been trying to clean my ps5 properly and this is the best detailed video ive came across along with all of your other ps5 videos i really apreciate your videos THANK YOU
Would love to see slightly deeper dives into the actual root cause and troubleshooting on some of these vids. Not everyone has spare PS5's laying around for parts.
Awesome.. enjoying the compilation.. I've been enjoying your videos for years and have given me the initiative to do maintenance and repairs on my own laptops and PC.. thank you.. I still need to talk the Mrs into an I-fixit tool kit though 😉🤘🏻
You need to talk your gf into buying a £25 kit? What
thanks for a year of fixes and showcases
A real nice recap of your 2023 PS5 fixes.
Half hour of entertainment for Holidays. 😊
Happy repairs this holidays Mr. Steve.
You’ve been my ASMR for years. Thanks for the content.
Weird much?
this tutorial is very helpful
The highlight videos are good. Do a compilation of your surprise/ bloopers and sayings/ quotes
I dont know what it is about ur show but i luv it ❤❤❤
Merry Christmas bro❤️❤️
Love your work man!!! 😁 Just have an question. Why you didn't try to repair the power supply?
Great work.
Great video and great repair
Happy new year
I love this dude especially because I love building and fixing even though I can’t afford to buy anything you have I just love watching you
I enjoy the hard work you pay off😩
Merry Christmas Steve!. Hope Santa brings you a lot of things to repair.
Funny, I've had the shorted fan problem on a notebook before. But it wasn't a dead short, just over time while running it would short out randomly and the notebook would shut down. Took me a while to figure it out.
Watching the first repair, when it didn't turn on the second time, I immediately thought I'd be either the fan or the disk drive as something similar was happening to my PC with a CD-Rom drive lol
I’ve had the same issue as you had in the past video where it keeps shutting off it may be the power supply however it stays on for awhile if you leave it on main menu but once you start a game it shuts off
Great video 🎉🎉🎉
Seeing things get fixed is so satisfying
It's really fun to do yourself, even without soldering skills a lot of repairs just call for a part replacement or a clean and reassembly.
The best part are the deals you can nab if you're comfortable with this stuff, got a Halo 3 edition 360 for wicked cheap and she works like a charm now.
@@winlover37 i love seeing the inside of a console because you can see what happens inside the console
@@dominikinfante9002 Same here. Ever since I was a kid I always pondered what is going on inside these machines to make it work.
Hi Steve, i watch your channel all the time, especially older teardowns and repairs. I have a question about an xbox one slim. I repaired one for my son for christmas by replacing the hard drive and it was going great for a week, but then it just died, i opened it up and see 4-6 resistor or capacitor s had corrosion around that little area. How can i get the exact parts to replace them like a schematic or parts list. I cleaned them up but still nogo. He's bummed out and id like to fix it again for him. So he can get back on.
That Roachstation 5 was grody as all get out. Egads!
I remember that first ps5. That was a fun one
Yeah, these were all some fun ones to fix!
Merry Christmas!
Same to you!
I never intend on fixing any electronics, I just enjoy watching you fix items. And the rare episodes that you invite your wife in, makes those episodes much more entertaining.
The occasional timed that an item can not be fixed is satisfying to me because we know that you now have spare parts for another project later on. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years to you and your family. 🫡
"no liquid have been spilled !"
unscrew the console, niagara falls out of the shell.
seeing these ps5 videos are making me have the courage to take apart my ps5 and give it a good clean
Sorry. Had to stop video when you brought out PS/5 with free pets. I hope everyone enjoys their lunch after watching that part. Bon appétit!😁
Hey Steve I have a question for you
I have replaced my PS4 pro F6202 fuse about two times already do you have any idea of what's causing the fuse to keep going out
Have you ever had issues with the xbox battery pack not charging in the series s and x controllers?
So I have to ask out of curiosity. How did you learn all the circuitry for this an other devices ?? I enjoy process of fixing thing but, Would be so nervous not knowing what each chip does and such.
At: 23:56 I take it you meant these 2 x USB Ports! 😂 Good Video though! 🙂🇬🇧
Hey Tronics. I found a old Dell Optiplex 745 desktop and I want to turn it in a gaming pc could you tell what gpu and cpu do I need to buy in order for it to be a gaming pc please
Does that conformal coating add any structural support to connectors? Sorry if you often get that question
14:38 bro that scared me lol 😂
I bought a damaged Xbox Series X for 200 dollars and fixed it thanks to your videos! 🙏🙏
I have a PS5 w/disk drive for 3 years and its been sitting vertically from day 1. Should i worry about the thermal paste running off?
This makes me come to a theory that Sony doesn't really want to do much effort into fixing a console, encouraging that customer to buy a brand new one. It was afterall a simple fix by discovering that the fan is mainly the problem other than some cleaning of water damage.
Hi, i have watched a few of your videos, very interstin lloking at these. particularly the one with a bunch of ps5. I was wondering concerning, the ones that freezes few second after starting a game, have you ever find a cure? Because mine just starting degrading quickly, in a matter of a week it went from 1 freeze a day to freezing after 10-20 sec after starting a game. then a tried the orher i have been playing the 1st week without any issues and it did the exact same thing, 29 sec gameplay then freeze. I am clueless and wonder if it worth bring it in to my local repair, because warrenty worned out and 300 dollars to send it back to sony worries me as i have see instances of people receiving back their ps5 with the problem persisting. what should I do? buy a new one 😅?
What liquid metal syringe do you use?
From where do you order liquid metal for PS5 ?
Since the fan was shot, I think it gave up the ghost and produced the liquid somehow in the first Ps5 fix.
hii i want to learn console repair..what ebook do you recommend to learn?
I absolutely love the soldering sections as always but hated any mentions of cockroaches in the system,could've gone the rest of the day without hearing that!
Hi.I have a question;My computer is not working(no image,no Bios no nothing).The motherboard signal says it is the Ram issue.I cleaned the memory whit rubber and isopropilic alcool and also the slots.I also changed the battery for the Bios and reinstalled all computer components but the problem continues.Its a problem whit the ram or whit the motherboard?
How different are the PS5 slims to fix
Has the colloidal metal ever coagulated into a small terminator type robot ?
Always fan boy 🎉
Can it be traces from a smoke machine or vaping?
Have you changed your schedule when you're putting videos out
Where is the cleaning link with Robert? It's not showing on the end of video.
Any idea why my ps does a glitched screen then shuts off it's a PS4 pro slim
I had a neighbor tell me he had a problem with Sony and the warranty. He lived in AZ at the time and when his son’s PS4 stopped reading the discs he sent it back to get repaired. They said it had liquid damage and he knew it was false. So he took it to a local repair shop and they showed him very little spots that look like water in the inside. But nothing on the board or anything it was like just 3-4 spots. He also noticed it wasn’t in the same box that he sent it to them in. Turns out that to where they sent the PS4 to get repaired had all their boxes they had improperly stored them so that humidity would be a problem. A lot of the boxes got destroyed while waiting to get repaired. My neighbor is a lawyer and told them he’d file a class action suite if they didn’t fix it and they crumbled. Sticky stuff though is a dead giveaway.
Um hi can u fix my phone when i try a app it says permission denied
I've never really understood why you send away to get cleaned, you always done a good job yourself and enjoyed watching
I trust the factory crimps on the fan and power connectors, I'd never use a tool to pull those apart, just yoink the wires and if it breaks you re-crimp or splice the wire instead of trace repair... just me though
I bought a second-hand Xbox Elite series 2 controller, I needed to change the front and back cover, when I was taking it apart, I noticed that there was liquid on the battery, I cleaned everything, I was lucky because there was no liquid on the motherboard etc. I hope I don't have any problems in the future.
Do you offer your repaired devices? I'm interested in a PS5 but would really like to save some money buying a repaired machine.
It's vegetal glycerine from e-cigs "clouds"
Whats the bg music used starting at 8:13 though, I really got to know as its got me in that saxa-boom feeling.
Music name?
@@muharremsuz yeah
You should give that dirty PS5 to Robert.
A tutorial on how to safely manipulate the power supply would be great. I know it's dangerous, but I don't trust repair shops anymore
I have a Xbox Series S. I screwed up with attempting to swap the HDMI port. The connector pins are all jacked up. Interested in fixing that? What would something like that cost to send to you to repair?
Hi I have a Nintendo switch and I try to charge and nothing happen can you fixed please 🙏
Have you fixed a Playstation Portal yet? if you do i would love to see that one.
To be fair, it was fun. I have seen you bring back stuff that no one could. So don't be so hard on yourself. Now, there's another guy that takes more in-depth fixes. I forgot his name
How can he always put the same amount of thermal past or Liquid Metal that’s incredible
I have bought used ps4 slim that had a lot of roaches and their dead pieces too that I dont realize before getting home, unpacked it and then heard how they run around 😂 I cleaned it and replace the thermal paste and it worked good for 3 years just good and then it broke, smth with power, the technician guy tried to repair it but failed and I finally sold it for parts🙂
Sad story though
2:14 when thats liquid damage , then my ps5 would be absolutly soaked because i vape infront of it
Pls read and reply what could be the issue in PS4 during updating the software it says error su-???? something like that I forgot the number actually
no chance
Do you sell the Xbox’s you buy and fix ?
On the first PS5 fix, what are the odds the owner was telling the truth and Sony put the liquid damage there?
I have a ps5 with a bad hdmi port that I can’t repair because my heat gun doesn’t get hot enough I guess can’t get the old hdmi out I have new ps5 hdmis would you wanna buy it and the ports?
The roach infested one is something else. People live in disgusting environment.
I love ur content.... An how can I get a PS5 off u ... I have all kinds of electronics.... In House powered subs.. high end Onkyo receivers.. about 8 of them
.. a 65 plasma.. NEC brand ..Sony Bravia 55 inch... Even an old school first Xbox.. but last I checked still worked.. needs Caps back in it.. an I have nearly all consoles except the 360 .. but most are fine.. i even have a new PS5.. but i want one from u.. refurbished.. it sounds like after u fix it.. they last... Keep up the great work
Hello good evening i need help my system wont cut on and the disc wont come out. Can I please send my console to you for repairs please.
Corroded fan coils, I bet!
Steve give your clearing guy that buggy ps5 thanks
you know something about that error CE-108255-1
Would you possibly be able to fix my ps5 it’ll power on ill see the blue light one second then it’ll immediately power off and I’ll press it again see no blue light then it’ll just not power on I’ve tried a new outlet and cord still Dosent work could you possibly help me?
He doesn't offer repairs, so no
I don't think I missed a video in 2023 lol. I'm addicted to microsoldering.
Hey my ps4 stopped sucking and ejecting any disk but it can read them so i started doing it manually till i took it yesterday to a repair shop and he said it can't be repaired due to the many times i ejected and inserted it manually he claims that there's a plastic got loosen or something because of me doing it manually and said that the only solution is getting a new disk drive
I'm finding it hard to believe him is what he saying true? Cuz you never covered that in your repairs
Let me know your response as soon as possible please and thank you .
It is a ps4 slim anyway
it's probably the little motor that pulls and pushes the disc out or a broken gear .
@@gamerX-wk7ct yeah it's a broken gear sadly so I'm going to buy a new disk drive
I had my PlayStation 5 for a week. I played 3 game doesn't work. Keeps giving me blue glitchy screen and then it's switched double screen
Makes me sad how a lot of people mistreat and their Electronics and some people can't afford them and would be glad to have them and not treat them like this
For cockroaches....clean first fix later. LMAO I wouldn't even touch it. lol
23:57 Aren't they USB ports ?
Do you still fix ps4’s that have a cockroach problem?
Are we sure the liquid damage one wasn't because of the fan failure with grease coming out and being flung everywhere?
It's the fan..
It physically hurts me to see how much liquid metal you use! lol...Just so people know, you only need the very thin layer on each side for it to work...Sony puts too much on and thats why there are always puddles of it around the apu on ps5
Is it possible for a heat gun to damage a PS5 motherboard? Having trouble repairing an HDMI port...
I have an Xbox 1x that won't turn on. Would you like to use it for a video?
Yeah, possibly. You can fill out a form on my website about sending it in: tronicsfix.com/pages/viewer-electronics-repair-submissions
