I Bought 2 BROKEN SPIDERMAN PS4's - Can I Save Them? The first PS4 had the power cable connector ripped off the motherboard so I had to repair that issue. I also found some evidence of liquid damage. The second one had cockroaches so I was guessing it needed a new power supply. But especially with consoles bought on eBay you never really know how bad something is going to be until you open it up and try to fix it.

What is your favorite special edition console? I'm planning to buy more broken special editions so let me know what you think I should buy.
Hey king!
Hi it doesnt matters the edition but i Love spiderman
Monster Hunter edition 3DSs and PSPs!
@@largeraccoon1229 I would also like to see a psp tear down. Mine has a bad charging port so I cannot use it anymore.

They should release a cockroach themed PlayStation at this point
Lol...might as well!
Top tier comment 😂😂😂
how do they even get in there???
@@thatsreallyam5758 Probably air vents
@@riyeski122 Yep, they just crawl right in.
I will say after watching these video's I was inspired to try to fix some consoles. I purchased 4 broken Nintendo DS (lite and dsi) and fixed all of them. One I had to re-solder the power port on and it took forever but once I got it done I learned a lot from it.
That's great! Love hearing stuff like this.
👍
A ps4 that looks like a bug has literally bugs in it
@@Abdulmuqaddim2005 Spiders do eat cockroaches, this one had it' belly filled XD
😄😄😄😂😂😂
Spiders aren't bugs ;)
spiders are arachnids
@@ThePunk01 stop trying to kill a joke
What I find most insane about these videos, is how much broken consoles are worth on EBay. Kinda crazy to me.
Yeah they are over priced for consoles that don't work. Id buy them for the case alone... but not for that price.
On different sites, you could buy a working console for those prices
@@stealeyy Not a themed one, I believe.
It’s bc it’s a limited edition Spiderman plate on it. If it was a generic black ps4 it’d be like 100$ max
after ps5 came out, ps4 price drop rapidly so no worry finding one on ebay
Me who hasn't been productive all day when tronics posts:
Yeah I've got time
Lol...love it!
@@Tronicsfix not good now I can't study
I was in the mood to watch someone repair PS4s, you read my mind!
Ha, ha...you're welcome!
That’s a very specific mood
@@Hageltrast yeah wtfff
More like youtube reccomendations read ur mind.
That one PS4 reminded me of my pc repairing days and the many dead spiders and occasional dead mouse I would find. Keep up the great content.
So gross!
good lord
In my career as a PC Tech the worse thing I even found was a porn DVD that someone left in the dvd drive of a 15 year old PC. Kids mom brought it in to see if it was worth upgrading when she found it in the basement after her son graduated from College and left it down there as junk. When I told her that it could not do what she wanted ( video editing with a Windows 95 PC and IDE cables.....yikes ) I offered her the PC back and the DVD was tucked into a DVD envelope. When she asked me what it was I said to look for herself. She did, turned bright red in embarrassment and was yelling death threats against her son as she left. LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Leigh Hamblin Great!
@@Digikidthevoiceofreason Now, that's funny!
I don't know how Steve remains so calm when he opens up these consoles and sees that components are wrecked by idiots !!!. Superglue ? Are you kidding ? They have a nerve trying to sell these for hundreds when the time needed to repair them just isn't worth it. Great vid tho !!!
Not to mention letting cockroaches infest it
He don't get frustrated because he is teaching us how to repair these things and what not to do. we all have the right to repair. but company's like john Deere and apple don't think we should even try.
I do agree that they are overpriced though. $209 for a ps4 that got ripped apart is not worth it.
His attitude really is the main reason his doing so well on what he does
I find it funny that the original hard drive was probably liquid damaged, they then are so incompetent that trying to replace the hard drive, they obliterate a connector just opening it up that happens to be for the power supply. Some people should just not have nice things.
@@forestlink6673 please learn the difference between "his" and "he's".
Great video Steve :-)
Thanks Vince! Hope the Holidays treat you well!
Love ya vince

Someone should message Zeus TheGod on PSN and tell him to clean his house.
@@HendoAU I highly doubt it.
Who is zeus
@@HendoAU thx
@@HendoAU can his account get stolen?
Wait is it the apex youtuber
I really respect this man going through this level of detail to attempt to save what would go into a dumpster! Keep up the great work love the videos always!
I love that you can fix literally anything. I’m so junk with electronics this is basically magic lol
How dirty is the previous owner's house to even have cockroaches inside their consoles
It could have not been their fault. I lived in this apartment complex that was super nice until this guy moved in a few doors down. Within a couple months the whole building was infested with roaches. The super sent out exterminators(which we were charged for...) every month to no avail. My lease had me stuck there for another 5 months after the roaches showed up in my place. I tried tons of stuff to try and keep them out too, but nothing worked. By the time I moved I had a grocery bag full of old roach traps(that I sent to the company who owned the complex along with a letter asking for reimbursement for them and the exterminator charges), and I hadn't had even a crumb of food in the house in over a month yet they were still all over everything. Luckily at the time I was traveling a ton so I didn't have a ton of crap, but I did have to take my computer and a few older consoles apart to completely clean them out after I moved.
@@CDRaff I see yourself point of but the console stank of roaches and the seller didn't disclose it, so either they're nose blind to the smell of roaches because they have a dirty house or they lied.
Cockroach infestations can strike you even in a clean apartment. It really just takes one unclean apartment to invest others and PlayStation’s seem to really attract them.
That being said, this one was so infested it smelled which means it had to be pretty gross
@@CDRaff Surely something like a roach infestation provides a reason to terminate the lease agreement early.
@@Farquad76.547 that's kind of hard as cockroaches are pretty much everywhere except antarctica, your only hope is to either find somewhere extremly dry like a desert or somewhere very cold. I live in the south of Chile where there aren't many, it's cold all year long so it makes sense
"... and also it looks like the cockroach exploded." - I'm dead. :-D
So is the cockroach
@@_szyha LMAO
Pure A grade content. Never stop putting the "perfect ammount of thermal paste on". Its literally something to look foward to.
Awesome video again! Your content has inspired me to start repairing stuff, and I just fixed my first phone this week! It was liquid damaged but it only needed a re-flow on a chip, but it still counts as a successful repair! Keep up the good work!
#1 was a great lesson in rebuilding traces. I'd never seen the green goo before but it WOULD be handy especially on Atari Upright video boards with angelhair thin traces.
Great video, the repairing of the damaged 4 circuit traces blew my mind 👍
Great video, glad you could fix both, i hate when good electronics go to waste because people neglected them. Keep up the great work.
I’ve gotten that glue on things it shouldn’t be on including my fingers. I never thought you would get it off like you were able. Very diligent my man!
Luckily it doesn't stick to the green solder mask very well.
Excellent job, Steve. Love that wiring pencil, think I'm going to have to get me one of those 👍
They work really well for this type of job.
Thank you Sir for showing the soldering part. I've always wanted to learn how to fix motherboards. Happy Holidays to you and your family!
I don't see myself fixing or building computer circuits but I always find it satisfying watching you repair random electronics
Hey Steve bro, sorry I've missed your last 2 vids so I got to catch up. I never get tired watching PS4 repairs because I do them as well but I couldn't have been able to without your videos.
Be easy brother, keep up the great vidz
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
I love when you fix consoles - it is just so interesting to watch!
Keep up the great work :)
Glad you like them!
@@Tronicsfix :)
Steve man you're just amazing... Beyond amazing!! That first ps4 almost made me cry and you brought it back to life like it's nothing man... I'm speechless!
Loved this repair video. The first one was my fav as it showed a different kinda fix. Great work all round
I really enjoy watching your videos! Do you think you could do more videos like this one?
Sure, I've got lots of repair videos coming up!
By occasionally watching your videos I can no longer say that I know absolutely nothing about repairs. Of course I still don't know much but I certainly know a lot more than I did before. Thank you for posting these vids!
Love hearing stuff like this!
Great video, thanks Steve for you time 🤘
hi, i’m a recent fan and i think ur vids are cool! they’re relaxing
Is it just me or are these type of videos from TronicsFix kinda oddly satisfying?
Glad you like them!
Yes definitely there awesome
"You know how ebay is" lol. Great video as always.
Lol...thanks!
Yo Steve btw I love your vids and I have enrolled in your soldering class for beginners I love taking things apart and fixing them .Thank you for the good times 👍
Thanks for posting enjoyed the video a lot
Yippeee! Another happy ending. Love those numbers! ❤🌅🌵😷
Thanks!
I'm glad I don't know what cockroaches smell like.
they are in our food. like chocolate and grains
@@Ebolachicken maybe in yours :D
@starshipeleven dislike
You know.
They don't really smell anything really bad. Trust me no matter how many time your house is clean, cockroach always find the way to get inside your console... your ps4 probably have cockroach inside you never know.
Steve you're one amazing person! WOW great save on this PS4
Good job on the trace repair!
I clicked as fast as my notification could let me lovey your videos
Thanks for watching!
You should use superglue remover for delicate areas like PCB's. When you started picking at it, gave me a heart attack! As there wasn't much left of the traces to work with.
Yea some kind of remover would have been better instead of this ice pick thing.
watching ur videos relaxes me i dont think any one could do repairs like u do ur amazing
The Soldering is definitely alot harder than he makes it look I've repaired a handful of consoles but thats far beyond me
Well done on that power connector fix. Definitely not an easy one!
I cant imagine having a cockroach infestation anywhere. Are they a big problem in Murica?
Only in certain parts of it.
I was in Florida once and walked past a drainage cover one night that was covered in the things. Eurgh!
Raised in CA, Murica. Family not clean. Roaches everywhere. Keep things clean and the cocks don't come around.
@@robertc49 Any rats there
Stayed in a beach side hotel in myrtle beach.... it was a roach motel to say the least
HI cool consoles you have there😂👍
Hey thanks!
Great job on the fix..
Great job man!
An insect themed console has a cockroach nest in it? Oh the Irony.
Spiders are not insect though
@@badz1497 that's true but they are very closely related
So on the first one he didn't know how to clear up disk space so he ripped out the power connector and then tried to glue it back on xD
I guess that person doesn't know electronics well
I'm guessing they tried to clean it, and pulled the connector off like a noob.
Really good video glad you got the both consoles working really love your videos
Very nice repair! Well done on fixing those pads, luckily that was the only problem, kinda strange that someone demounted that connector when it probably worked fine though, grats on the working console.
That person who put glue on that motherboard is a tool That's And example of how they take care of their things
😂😂😂
14:45 - here is the story about a happy little cockroach inside a PS4 PRO (sad story tho) 😲😂😂😂😂
Lol
my whole family loves your video fixes, thank you so so much
Nice job man!
Germany’s government just decided that I can stay at home from now on until 10th of January. Happy holidays.
My employer will have us work or take vacation days. Meh.
which is weird as you live in brazil :)
“The happy little cockroach” 🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👊 14:56
Its a dead little cockroach now
Advanced techniques!
Love it! I was able to fix my ps2 that had a torn ribbon cable for the DVD drive using a wire bridge.
Nice work!
Love you videos man very satisfying fixes and repairs keep it up bro !
"smells like cockroach"
Me: i wonder what cockroach smell like
best I can find online lol "Cockroach smell is usually described as a musty, oily, pungent odor that increases with the size of the infestation."
Probably smells like a dead animal lol
they smell like joe biden
Can't wait for some PS5 repairs. 😁😁😁
These videos just give me more motivation to keep learning and do more repairs. Thanks for the awesome videos
Yep...just keep learning!
I love watching these types of videos. You continue to be an inspiration to me and my channel.
1 minute gang were u at?!
Anyone else find it ironic that a console belonging to Zeus TheGod died while electrocuting a cockroach?
No, because that's not irony. That's a coincidence. And yes, I am incredibly fun at parties.
Can't wait for the controller repair. Love your work!
Thanks! Glad you like the vids!
Love these man. Great video 👌
Geez, How dirty is your House, if you have cockroaches inside your PS4??!!! 😄😁
Some people have very clean houses and still get them. The reason I have cockroaches in my house is because when my upstairs neighbor moved him and his family brought them as well.
@@itsfranciss2291 You may have cockroaches but they are seldom seen, that PS4 had a ton in it!! 🤭🤣
The insect on the Cover is the hint of the happy living Insects inside 😄
Ha, ha...that's what that means!
Man when i was kid macgyver was my hero, watching your video bring me back in time! Love your videos man!
Good job buddy!!!
You're supporting the ex-owners by overpaying for these lol
Not including seller fees and shipping costs, looks like both sellers didn't even come close to breaking even.
What
Leave the man alone
I mean he hardly needs to make money from the actual repairs anymore. The videos are what brings in the big bucks.
Steve is actually doing this as an investment in our education. Thanks Steve
I have read: "i broken 2 Spiderman Ps4's"
You are absolutely cracked at console repair. I was truly amazed at the fact that you were able to repair the first PS4
Great video Steve, nice job rebuilding that power connector, you Made that look so easy. The second one was just gross.
Here’s a cookie 🍪 for when ur scrolling
Love your videos, great job !!!
It's always enjoyable watching broken stuff go through your magic and get revived. Cheers mate
Thanks for this video , it was very useful, I've had many times connectors ripped off and I always considered that motherboard was just garbage, thankfully I know how to fix it.
Man these are so hard to find I’ve been trying to get one to awhile 😂 awesome video!
Never seen a ps4 tear down, glad you were the person I came to
Love all your bids keep it up
Such easy fixes :3 i also on the beginning to open a repair shop for consoles and steve was one of my inspiration! Go ahaed, youre great ❤
Sick repair on the first PS4!
This is fascinating. Makes me want to learn how to do this stuff
A true professional master at work I hope we have more guys like you in this world I am in my 4th college year in electronic engineering and I swear that half of my class won't be able to do this work
i´m always fascinated how much knowledge you have, and how you do your job...best from Germany ...
Very. Informative video as always. Really enjoy watching and I find them relaxing. Ever sell one let me know.
Thanks for making videos, when I was sick I watched your videos and it calmed me down. Keep up the good work! 👍
Happy to hear that!
Awesome video man
Love witching all you're videos
Love the video steve amazing fix and perfect job keep it up
Glad you enjoyed it
If I ever bought a ps4/ps5 it would be from you, you are the most trust worthy person for fixing things
U always make some amazing videos keep it up 💯🤜🏾👍🏾
Glad they worked. I've actually never had a problem returning things on ebay if they not as described
Great video. You are very talented.
I love the CSI at 14:37
You are so nice for fixing
You should make a series of guides that tell you what to look for when buying a "for parts" console, troubleshoot, and fix the problems. It would be really useful for people like me, who wants to get into flipping consoles.
