I Bought a PS5 on eBay - It Was Infested With ROACHES and BROKEN - Issues include both back USB ports are broken, the disc drive doesn't work correctly, and the console previously being infested with live cockroaches. So I'll have to work my way through the dead bugs to get this one working again.

Imagine the house.
Imagine the smell...
WAH
Id rather not 😂
Lol you say that till you end up with some. All it takes is a few ❤
Bold of you to assume it’s a house
Imagine the owners.
Not counting the roaches, how TF does someone pay that much for a console and treat it this bad. I don't even use my PS4 since getting the 5 but I still clean it out regularly.
Riiiight. I still have my ps1, 2 and 3 and they are in top tier condition
If it was bought by a parent the user probably didn't even think to care
“I want to make sure Robert gets the FULL experience!”
How considerate 😊
Lol, I'm always thinking of others!
The perfect amount of cockroaches
@@indask8the perfect amount of roaches in electronics is zero
I just watched Robert restore it I think you should give it to him so He can play it especially after all those dead roaches he had to deal with lol
@@Tronicsfix do you sell refurbished ps5 I would only buy one from u honestly so I was wondering
When I was a kid I was given a GBA and it was my absolute pride and joy. I was so so so careful with it as I knew I wouldn’t get another one if I broke it. Even to this day, I am so incredibly careful with my consoles. It’s crazy to me that someone would allow theirs to get in such poor condition.
That part.
SAME
I think this usually comes from someone just dumping them into a cardboard box into the attic because they don't use them anymore. I still have all but my GBColor gold that disappeared and my GBA white that broke.
I think this person just spilled something on it. Roaches smelled the sugar. Came in, shorted the console out. They died, and the console just sat.
@@BeeWaifu But who doesn't use their PS5 anymore? It hasn't even been through half of it's lifespan yet. The chances of it coming from a box in an attic are next to zero. The money is on it coming from the living room or bedroom of a roach infested house, trailer, or apartment somewhere.
I worked at a wheelchair shop and we had a power chair come in that was infested with roaches. When i think of what the owner went through i still feel sick. Their care giver abandoned them and eventually the landlord found them. Don't know how they survived.
Wow thats sad.
Always baffles me when someone doesn’t care about something others would do just about everything to get. Ah well it’s in caring hands now
I think I have the cleanest series x on the planet
Sometimes people dont even realize it happens until it dies. Roaches are attracted to heat.
Caring for things requires self awareness and self care, it's amazing how many people have ZERO self awareness or self care.
@@evo7836I don't have roaches in my house
Bruh ants got inside mine and I swear I don't even have any kind of food or anything near it.
Insects getting inside is the one thing you can't really blame on bad user
The first PS5 I ever saw with two HDMI ports. They do resemble USB ports a lot though. ;)
He made a mistake he meant USB ports
@@SithLordAnakin it was supposed to be a joke. I have seen all kind of io Ports before. ;)
I worked at mad catz over 20 years ago and we used to repair playatations when our controllers would break them lol. We got one ps in and when we removed the first screw little legs started trying to get out! We screwed the one screw back and sent it back with the quickness!
Lol, good call!
I watched Robert's cleaning video with this PS5 and it was absolutely disgusting and satisfying at the same time. You should definitely let him keep it as his own for his hard work! He totally earned it!
There is a reason we watch Steve and not a dude that cleans roaches.
Who is Robert and how did you watch it?

I once bought an ottoman from a store brand new. Took it home and set it up next to my tv stand. While I was watching a movie I saw a huge roach pop out of it and fall to the floor. I wrapped the ottoman in a trash bag and put it at the curb. I spent 5 hours looking for the roach because it crawled away quickly. Finally found it and killed it. Luckily I did not get a roach infestation…but the moral of the story, is you don’t have to live in filth for that to happen. I keep my place clean and tidy, so I was mortified when I saw that damn roach 😂
A bit of advice, when you get any type of electronics that might have possible infestation put them in plastic trash bag and then put them in the freezer for a hour or two that will kill off any roaches or bed bugs or any bugs.
You can't kill roaches by freezing them. They pop right back to life as soon as they thaw
@jamesburchill7522 No, that's not true. I kill them all the time like this. I work with exterminators on a weekly basis. This is is a method that was recommended to me from a few different exterminators.
@@jamesburchill7522Of course you can. Roaches loathe cold environments.
@@jamesburchill7522 my brother used to work for a rental place and would get roach infested PS4s back every so often. he would put it in a bag and throw it in the freezer for a bit.. none of these I opened had any living roaches in them. but I have pictures that would put this ps5 to shame.
I guess play more , clean less for this ps5 owner
Damn, this video brings back memory of me having to tear apart the Steamdeck to clean. It had hundreds if not thousands of ants inside crawling in and out of the vents, the joystick and once the console heats up you could see dead roasted ants being ejected out the vents 😢
Had a fun time cleaning it up though with adrenaline rushing. I didn't want to break anything 😂😂😂
Wow, that sounds awful!
Why was your Steamdeck an ant farm? Did it have 'sweet', custom upgrades or something?
@@Jadebones Some types of rubber will attract ants who will try to eat it. Idk why. I remember a long time ago on the 3DS subreddit someone posted about ants eating the little c-stick nub rubber on their New 3DS XL.
@@fearlesswee5036
Damn, that's weird! Never heard or seen anything like that, but it makes sense. Still weird though.
I'm currently studying Embedded Systems, learning programming in c and soldering and measuring. You're content is not only enjoyable now but I can actually understand and appreciate how complex these PCB and IC's really are...
The "complexity" of PCBs is less about functionality or performance improvements and more about intentionally decreasing the ease of repairability for the general consumer.
In fact some unnecessary pcb complexities split up board functions onto daughter boards, like we see in modern controllers, merely to introduce more possible fail points should a consumer attempt dismantling their devices.
Some pcb complexities like this however, are for making a product more compact.
Thanks Steve for that video, i've watch Robert cleaning it yesterday on Restorish channel, i was waiting to see the fix, good job you two !
God I dealt with a cockroach infestation in my house for over a year as a result of accepting an appliance from a family friend, and see this brings the PTSD out. There was so many. They were everywhere. It took so much effort to get them out of the house, but it sure feels good to be done with them.
@@phantomreaver85
As a person knowing multiple people with debilitating mental conditions.... please don't associate only veterans with PTSD.
PTSD is not reserved strictly to military personnel.
It is an involuntary mental and physical response to actions or situations in which one's body has deemed too difficult or dangerous to deal with.
PTSD can manifest in ANYONE and can manifest for ANY reason, even bug infestations.
@@phantomreaver85 I was going to take what you first said at face value but your second comment really spells out the virtue signaling for what it really was. I hope the one or two upvotes your comments get outside of upvoting yourself is worth the effort.
@@phantomreaver85PTSD is not exclusive to veterans. Stop acting like a clown.
@@phantomreaver85thank you. People living in citys being dumped from a girlfriend apparently they have ptsd...
Roaches and rats evolved to live around humans
What a kind and thoughtful soul you are Steve, leaving Robert a nice suprise 😂😂
I imagine the roches feel like they are in the game lol
So, they think it's an EA Sports console? Lol
Lol
Very funny
Think about what willhappen

hen you start Mortal Kombat round 😂🤣
Bad Mojo
Did my first iFix It repair this weekend. It was a great experience! Swapped my 2015 Macbook Pro 15 in battery. Before the repair the battery lasted 5-10 mins off the charger. After, it played a 2.5 hr movie in 1080p 2 and a half times.
It's amazing you can even sell a PS5 in this condition and get any money for it.
Sony builds the best homes for cockroaches
He should give it to Robert as payment for cleaning it
@@mirlo-rojo Which are inside YOUR home before going in these consoles. Definitely not Sony's fault.
Perfect job Steve as always 👍👍
One of the reasons i got into this hobby was because i saw how little ppl care for their possessions that being said in a matter of speaking most tech is essentially garbage as soon as it comes out the factory now a days anyway.
Reminded me of the time when I worked for Lowes and someone bought a new stove. Their old Stove was infested with Roaches and we didn't know until it got back to the store for recycling. Hundreds of Roaches poured out of it and were all over Receiving and the nearest departments. We took pics of the Stove and sent the Customer the bill to kill them all.
You should let Robert keep this one. If for nothing else, to help him through the years of trauma therapy he's gonna need after dealing with all of those bug bodies.
at first I thought it was an irish spring themed PS5. LOL I didn't realize it looks that way because it was wrapped up.
Ha, ha, Irish Spring themed!
not a bad idea to do a similar paint job
@@Tronicsfix I used to use that before I switched to body wash. lol
@@Tronicsfix Hi ,I have a ?Do you by any chance work on and Repair a Psp 1001 Model?If so I was wondering if you would please be able to repair mine for me?
insane how people always managed to destroy usb or hdmi ports, sometimes i plugged in hdmi & usb cables with force too or with the wrong side blindly but idk how much "force" they have apply to break them, unless they step on it to break the connectors off etc.
Since at least around 2000 when I used Scart I have always used things like switches for av items and a usb hub or even just a male to female adapter rather than put something in direct that way if I damage something its just a case of replacing the single item rather than having a ruined device/tv/monitor. I used to think I was being a little crazy doing so but in recent years people have told me either they do the same thing or its a smart idea.
I don't understand how a modern day console gets treated so badly 😢 makes me so sad
I waited 3 years for a PS5 at retail and now I have one, I cannot imagine letting one get bad like this
I once bought a lot of consoles that had live roaches in them and I relive that nightmare every time you post a video like this, lol
Steve let Robert keep it he deserves it after all that cleaning P.S. you guys are both Masters in my eyes keep up the great videos guys
I can never understand how a console this new (or any console or PC for that matter) can get so dirty. I worked in a PC service a long time ago and people would bring their PCs to get them clean. There was only one that was so dirty it had rat droppings in it. I just can understand how some people store or keep their electronics.
*"I can never understand how a console this new (or any console or PC for that matter) can get so dirty"*
Age doesn't matter, everyone can get this dirty. Some people don't have lot of space on their desks or under their TV, so they have leave one of their consoles in the closet or wardrobe until they use it.
Let Robert keep it for all the hard work
I bought an Xbox one S battlefield edition from a pawn shop in my local town. Opened her up to upgrade the storage & a whole lot of dead roaches 😂 I’ve learnt a lot from your vids. Keep it up man.
Honestly, why so many consoles in US have roaches inside them? I'm in Poland, I don't think I've heard a single story about bugs inside a console in this country so far, and in US, it happens quite often.
Here in Brazil it's the ants that get inside electronics and ruins them.
Some insects are attracted by the very small heat that's generated by the power that's always running while the electronics are on stand by.
Poor people, who live in squalor, always have the newest nicest stuff. I know people that can barely pay rent and they have new phones, a new Xbox, a Nintendo switch for each kid, and a lot of other expensive stuff. I do not have roaches in my house and I'm still using my xbox one I got on release in 2013
I've heard it's more common in warmer states. Like Texas and Georgia,etc. I live in new Hampshire where it's too cold for cockroaches thankfully.
Dirty or poor people. I feel bad for the people that can't afford to take care of the issue but a lot of people live disgustingly also
@@VapenBakegeneralising.
please .....ROBERT should enjoy this PS5 ....both your guys vids are the best!!!! keep up the great work.
at 9:39 you can see at the bottom right corner of the elevated metal plane some liquid metal spillage. Hope it will not cause any late issues by moving the console. Great video as always!
Yes notice that too
I noticed that immediately too
If you think there might be insects in inside, make sure it’s well wrapped like as air tight as you can get it with cling film and put it in a freezer for a few days, it will kill them. Better that than them scattering all over your work bench.
"extreme cold can damage electronics. When temperatures drop below freezing, water inside the electronic devices will turn to ice. This can cause the components to expand and crack, which can lead to permanent damage."
-- Google
Definitely do not put your console into a freezer.
That is vile D:
Agreed!
Steve look at the minute 1.29 , you said lets fix two hdmi ports and they are usb , we are humans and we make mistakes but most of all we love you and your videos you do. Respect ❤️
You know, it’s kinda depressing to see newer consoles being broken. It hurts to see. But however, my PS5 is in overall excellent condition. Nothing hindering it’s performance.
people who let their things get into this sort of state do not deserve to own such things. That being said, it is wholly satisfying watching a dead/broken console being brought back to life.
Give Robert this PS5 Tronix!! Great content from you both 🥰💪
Can’t wait to see Roberts video on this!! 😂😂😂
I always find a way to watch these videos while im eating, i finished the video but havent touched my food since i started watching lol
Amazing job! now time to see the video
I feel like you should send it for cleaning before fully fixing it. Especially now that you know it works.
Yo Tronics i love your work. You should think about creating merch T-Shirts saying: "the perfect amount of thermal paste" xD
Man I feel sorry for the US with that roach problem 😂
Luckily they aren't common in the NW where I live
@Tronicsfix that's a relief. BTW I hope you find the HDMI tester useful. I wouldn't have minded just sending you one if I knew you needed one lol. Also, I sent you an email regarding some accusations made against me. Hopefully it makes sense to you
It’s not a problem if you don’t live like a pig. Roaches are usually the result of disgusting living conditions.
German roaches are a problem all over the Earth. If you had watched the entire video you'd notice the system language isn't even in English at the end
@@AdolfSchicklegruberi have seen roaches in clean places.
Amazing Video Steve
Awesome Video tronicsfix
LOL a guy named Robert that cleans disgusting systems. what a coincidence, seriously nice to know I'm not the only one that will tackle such a system at least. but can understand why many don't...
I've never clicked on a video so fast in my life. 😂😂
Ha, ha, thanks for watching!
Clicked on it Like a roach on bread crumbs lol ayes 🤣. I clicked on this video pretty fast too!
You should not give the PS 5 to him, he just gained a subscriber (me) because of you. Great collaboration. I was glad to see you uploaded your video after the ps5 was already cleaned. I saw you video uploaded several hours ago and I was thinking I’ll have to wait few days/weeks to see the cleaning part, we’ll I was surprised to see how you handled the repairs/cleaning video upload. Thanks, love watching your content!
The Restorish guy says you should "give it to him". Don't shoot the messenger. 😁
Hi mrs tronicsfix! Great editing 👍
Reminds me of the Roach Mobil Home that came into microcenter in the late 80s... an Apple //c... but they were NOT DEAD! New keyboard, floppy drive, and power supply .. just so he could get his free motherboard upgrade due to "modem compatibility". afterwards the show was sprayed down multiple times and the //c went into a sealed garbage bag. he was told they did not want his service after that event. good memory??!?!!!
Good job mate 👍
6:54 Like the background music; very jazz funk.
I believe Robert should get a long time playing with this one after he cleaned it so well......
Robert deserves to keep that ps5 after all that cleaning!!!
You need a chamber that you can expose the unit to an Ozone generator. a Ozone generator converts oxygen (o2) to Ozone (o3) and it will kill any bugs that may be left alive. It will also kill the smell too.
Good job on tge AVGN impression!
I had to come back.
Steve, just give it to him. 😂
This reminds me of the awful trade ins at Gamestop. I recall a coworker finding everything from bags of weed, loose condoms or roach eggs inside game cases.
People are NASTY!
Growing up poor taught me to be very carful with my stuff! And keep it clean, and even now 30 years later.. im always very careful with my stuff! Especially my gaming gear! I can’t even imagine how you get this so dirty.. 😅 i only had a gameboy advance back in the day.. and i knew if I wasn’t careful I couldn’t get a new one because there was no money for that.. makes you appreciate your things! 😊 now money isnt a problem anymore.. but still I appreciate the things i work hard for, and keeping you stuff in good condition helps you enjoy it longer! I think some people could use a lesson in appreciation
The insects is the included ps5 dlc you ordered
🤣💀
It's so strange to have bugs in a console.... This summer, after years of issue and errors message, I decide to full disassembly my mother's vorwerk Bimby (around 13 years of sitting in kitchen).
When I start to disassemble, I smell the worst mell.
It was really really FULL of bugs EVERYWHERE.
I start to remove all park, clean with vacuum and then spray in each board the circuit cleaning solution. And then back everything together.
I discovered that everything star to work as the first day. So no issue, no errors nothing.
I can't imagine that bugs can be so districting for circuit.
Do it yourself, is more funny, and cheap
Watching the video right now, the "sticky liquid" is going to be some type of soda. I found the same thing in my PS4 that I bought at a pawn shop. Keep up the great work. Let us know when you have a PS5 giveaway so I can try my chances.
Well, after watching both videos, I just gonna say... please let Robert keep the PS5!! Thanks!
This makes me very glad I live in new Hampshire which is too cold for cockroaches. 😖 I'm also glad the ps3 I got from Texas didn't have any roaches, just dust.
Wooo! look at that roach fly!
Nice repair job
I'm so glad you saved this ps5
I'll never forget my roach story I used to recover cable boxes for a cable co. and recovered one from inner city apt tower saw that they were in my car later i put the box on my back bumper with the cord inside my hatch back. when I got home put it in my garage, they came through the walls and plug outlets infested my house. I put a roach bomb on my kitchen floor came back the next day millions on floor dead. never saw a live one since. Nasty
Thanks for sharing the link to Roberts Channel. Very nice entertainment while eating a pizza on the sofa 🙂
Lol, glad you're enjoying it!
@@Tronicsfixyou're letting Robert keep the PS5 right?
Let Robert keep the PS5. He deserves for sure!😁
I bought a PS5 used in summer 2022. It was so dirty when I got it so I decided to take it apart and of course there were tons of bugs in it. I ended up finally getting the reserve email from Sony to buy a brand new PS5 for MSRP several months later so I bought a second and sold the bug infested PS5 that I cleaned. The thought of how nasty that thing was essentially forced me to sell it
PS5 Roach Motel "Roaches check in, but they don't check out!" 🤣
Honestly, putting the dead roach back in the console made my day!
It hurts my soul seeing that being put back together without a deep cleaning.
Let Robert keep that PS5!!! He earned it the hard way!!!!
Id love to send you my daughters iPad, she was devastated when one day it just wouldn’t power back on, it’s been in 2 shops here in the UK and both have had it for 3 days and both come back with non repairable, I’d happily pay for postage and return and even for you to take a look yourself, I think your great and love the videos you do, just wish I was that clever with things lol 👍🏻
You should totally give Robert this PS5.
Roaches 🤮, you are one brave man! 😨
Lol, luckily they were all dead!
Give Restorish the PS5 to keep. Man deserves a medal for cleaning that infestation *vomit*
from algeria i support you brather
I resurected a Xbox 360 from a flea market that had roach infestation. The trouble is they crap across the circuit traces and short out the board(s)!
You have to put the console in a plastic bag with paper towels soaked with alcohol. The fumes will kill them. The tiny board that was for the controller was toast from the bugs. I replaced it and all was fine. The console me $9 on my original purchase. They CAN be saved sometimes.
I usually watch your new videos while eating breakfast. This one needed its own timeslot...
Did you give Robert the PS5? He deserves it for restoring that PS5 to pristine condition.
Wow that was a gross PS5, awesome repair!
I didn't know that liquid metal could dry out.
I don't want my PS5 to go into jet mode at some point like a PS4/pro.
Damn
I think you should give Robert this Ps5 he deserves it after cleaning it up making it look new again
Robert wants the PS5 now LOL!!
Robert definitely deserves this ps5!
Very first Xbox I bought off eBay, came with obvious roach infestation. Took pictures, boxed it back up, and took it straight to the dumpster. Seller actually wanted me to return it, and I had to explain to them AND eBay why I had to throw it out, did get a refund.
Crazy how a person could treat this so horribly when someone else would do anything to get one
My thoughts exactly.
You are doing gods work
I want to see big dad and little laur react to this 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe a suggestion, when you have a machine like this, you should get some brown paper from Lowes and put it down so that your desk is protected and you can just roll up the paper and toss in the trash.
Hi Steve I believe Robert deserves to keep the ps5 after all the work he made to the ps5. So I wish he gets the ps5 from you.
Not just solder.... but MICRO SOLDER.
