Repair Shop Tried Fixing This PS5 3 Times! I paid a viewer $150 for this broken PS5 after they sent to a repair shop 3 separate times to be fixed and then ended up breaking it worse. Is it a simple fix they couldn't handle or did they damage it beyond repair? We'll find out when we take a look and try to fix it.

I wish I was surprised at the incompetence of some repair shops.
Yep, me too.
@@Tronicsfix hello sir I have a question I'm working on a HDMI problem on my PS4 and I messt it up, now when I was removing the HDMI port a I tore it off and I've left the four pins that holds it down little pieces of metal I've watched your tutorials I know to do it but I can't seem to get those pins out of the board I've tried to desolder with a wick and a desoldering gun and a disordering sucker and no hope I even tried to melt lead-free solder now I got a glob of solder on the board I don't know can you give me any tips lol 🙏🙏
At least they didn’t butcher it. All it should have taken is a closer inspection to reveal the problem.
It goes to show, just because they have a "name brand" store, doesn't mean they are any better than other repair facility. Corporations!
Some of these repair shops shouldn’t be in business. Don’t know how they became a business.
I definitely think a repair shop with this level of incompetence should be called out to the public. It does a disservice to other potential customers NOT to identify them. They are a place of business and they completely screwed this particular customer over. I’d say they owe that man a PS5!
or a free PS6 100% off voucher.
I agree. Name and shame...terrible service.
I agree, EXCEPT it's second hand information. I have no specific reason to believe the person selling it to him lied to him when he told him about the repair shop but it's enough of a possibility that name-and-shame isn't something that should be done lightly, there's a non-zero chance it was the seller who tried to repair it himself. I hope it's much less likely than it being a bad repair shop but sometimes an outsider just can't know.
@@Torbjorn.Lindgren certainly agree with that. We don’t know what kind of communication took place between the seller and Tronicsfix, or whether the seller even provided the name of the shop. If he DID, it’s worth a phone call to verify with the shop that the repair attempt took place.
@@jrock2460 it was repaired by ubreakifix by asurion
Never fails to amaze me how these big chain, repair on the side, companies can screw over so many people. I'm sure the viewer paid a pretty penny to get a non working system back too.
yeah i feel bad for the guy who sold it. Paid 500 bucks for the console probably anotther 1-200 to try and get it repaired then ended up selling it for 150$
big chains many times take a corporate route where they cut costs and that many times means that they hire less skilled or experienced technicians,because skilled ones know they worth more and expect a bigger compensation for their work, they still charge you a pretty penny regardless, it's very unfortunate to see a perfectly working console being deemed a no fix for their incompetence
@@Worthless. I agree 100%. By letting us know who is doing this shotty work and us avoiding them would also force the companies to either do better or go out of business.
@@Coolcarting 15 seconds into the video "he took it to a local repair shop; it's a national chain"
maybe YOU should pay attention...?
@@Worthless. unfortunately the way this planet works is "you can't be famous and disclose someone's failure even if it's true, unless a court process was involved and deemed it definitely true, or you get sued" and with 1.5mil subs he can't just name-drop anymore :( .
Coming from a place that used to repair all kinds of electronics, it is hard to decide between the shop being incompetent on the repair...OR...they tried to say it wasn't fixable and get the customer to "give" them the PS5. I had a manager that was in charge of the shop I mentioned above, he would do that to MANY things that were high ticket items cause he would get them "free" from the customer, repair them, then flip them on craigslist or ebay. One of the many reasons I stopped working for the shop.
Damn, $150 and some soldering for a PS5. Pretty good deal!
I did my first Tronicsfix a few weeks ago! My MP3 player got rained on and the LCD got stripes, and I remembered that you always fix that stuff using IPA to cleaning the contacts, so I dripped some down in some of the button gaps (it's a tiny enclosed unit that you can't disassemble) and with a bit of effort now it's back to normal! Thanks!
Trying to get into fixing consoles as a hobby. Starting with the cartridge consoles like NES Genesis gameboy and also the cartridges themselves and slowly work up to disc ones like PS1 and 2. I got a PS1 that is gonna be the first one I try.
@@chrisward814 Ooo good luck! hope it all goes well!
@Tronicsfix You didn't tell us about the right place for the misplaced thermal pad.
And an amazing video as usual.
I love how easy Steve makes all this look. I know it's experience and time, but it sure does make it seem achievable and really makes you wonder why the professionals like this repair shop stuff up to this degree.
Steve!! The man, the myth , the legend!! You my friend have inspired me to do what you do. You’ve taught me so much I never knew before and gave me the confidence to try and have a go. With some success too. Thanks mate! Love your channel and re watch your content all the time. Just great. Lots of love from the UK my friend. Keep em coming! 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
1:08 you didn't tell us about this thermo pad. 💖🌞🌵😷
With large companies, many times the Technicians are at the mercy of corporate procedures, and policies. Not to mention local management, lack of basic/specialized tools, and no, or little, training. Sometimes it's just inexperience, or incompetence. Great Repair and Video. Thank You. 😀
Love this video. Really highlights the importance of getting a professional versus a hack.
I knew you'd fix it... .I have only seen a few times where you couldn't. Great Job as always!
@Tronicsfix You didn't show it in the video but I trust that you figured out where that thermal pad was supposed to go and put it in it's proper place.
I believe with a lot of places like this they do not have the resources/time based on the high traffic and focus of phone repairs, so this leaves a lot of consoles and soddering jobs generally to be shipped out to a repair partner which is why they give that several week long timeline.
Amazing job once again!!!! Makes my Friday when I watch these videos.
Unbelievable. Steve, your videos are as always incredibly informative as well as entertaining. It is just shameful how many "repair" shops are just shameless hacks.
Nice job! You are the best TronicsFix 👨🔧
Nice jazzy Christmas music and good job on the repair!
Sometimes I wonder if it actually were repair shops having screwed up or if the customer/person selling the broken console screwed up the repair themselves and try to shift the blame to someone else...but man that sure was an easy fix. Great video as always!
Your a wizard on fixing any electronics that comes your way I wish I would of stayed in school to learn how to do what you do
U are just the best their is. All their is to it. U can fix console in 8 min. U are just amazing.
What i learned so far thanks to you.
I would rather asked you to repair my console and sent it from Germany to you instead of asking any repair shop in my area...
Love the Christmas music. Adds some festive ambience to the video, puts one into a good mood.
Thanks! You inspired me to fix my dualsense controller. Save me $$ Really easy fix
I've fixed stuff like this, where they have taken them to shops that messed them up or on really cheap fixes that cost me nothing but a little time. I usually contact the seller and ask if they want to buy it back for a little over what I paid them. Most buy back.
You know, I used to have a job that occasionally required me to do a little welding. Not a lot, I wouldn't really call myself a "welder", but I did have to sometimes. My boss still made me weld for him just so that he knew I could do it. I wonder if this repair shop's boss makes the techs solder so he/she can asses their soldering skills. Knowing how to fix something and doing it are two different things.
Adding to your last bit, knowing what and why the issue occured is also an extremely useful skill, that helps narrow down the best approach, instead of the good old "I know how to fix this, so I'll just do that" and when it doesn't work, you have absolutely no clue how to proceed.
I find it laughable that a so-called repair shop can take so long and still not fix this console! Yet, you solve the problem straight away, Steve. Always find your repair videos both enjoyable and entertaining.
Great video. Just wondering what might be good items to start on and how to learn? I find this fascinating but don't have any of the background knowledge! Thanks
The Way Steve repair that PS5 make me satisfied 😮😅. It works at the end
Really love this content
Shocking work by the other shop!
Top notch vid. ❤🎉
Congrats on 1.5 million subscribers you really help me know how to fix things thank you, please make more videos of fixing nintendo switches 😃
It takes some good amount of practice and good techniques to get good at soldering. It looks like the previous shop didn't have the right person doing the job, or have a good lead tech to verify the work if need be.
It's so funny that even I, complete beginner can do a better job than a professional repair shop
One thing that many first time soldering people don't understand is these HDMI pins require a good amount of solder. Many times, just tining the pads is not enough. We have always went through and added more solder. He is correct in all of his videos before with cleaning the flux afterwards. Do it, don't skip it. I wish these stores wouldn't test on these new gen consoles. Then again, practice makes perfect. In the last 8 months, I have done over 200 next gen HDMI ports combines.
Love the jazz. It really suits this type of video.
Love your videos
This is why I like this guy videos I'd trust him to fix my problems if I have any
@Tronicsfix i love your channel and it help me a lot of times to solve hw problem. I have a ps5 with the ce-108262-9 error and shutdowns without any message. I respread the liquid metal but it hasnt working, do you how can i do?
I once had someone bring me a laptop that wouldn't boot. They took it to multiple shops, including a certain squad, and none could get it working and told him it was unfixable. I found the problem in 3 minutes when I removed the back access panel and saw no HDD was installed.
Thanks!
Some shops just need to quit soldering and stick to swapping screens 😮
Steve ur backk ❤
You never fails us my friend
Great video! Can I ask why youtubers never share the name of these types of repair shops? As a viewer it would really help to know which to avoid.
Because repair companies might start a slander law suit?
Glad the owner can get it back fixed now
Ever think about repairing a retro arcade game? I think it would be a great video
My dude. This repair was easy as f. How do people open stores when they can do some basic fix?!
This is why i fix my own stuff :) Good Job TronicsFix, always enjoy the simple fixes ^_^
All it needed it was your touch!!
I dig the music on this one.
I know this is a beast of a request, but I would be more than impressed if you tried to fix a pinball machine. There are plenty of broken machines out there and the fixes are relatively similar to what you do already, it's just a matter of parts and prices...
Can you do a video on a Wii U repair? For the game pad specifically. I have one that the battery is bad in and it could use a cleaning due to grubby little hands.
Going to take a stab in the dark and say this was a Geek Squad special. The turn around time is so awful because the guys in store don't usually do the repair, it's shipped off to get repaired elsewhere and then shipped back. That's why it takes 3 weeks. Probably just one mega repair center somewhere where they need to repair a whole load of crap every day and everything is a rush job. It's why such a simple repair (well simple for someone who knows what they are doing) can be so badly done. Wouldn't be shocked if they have toxic incentives at the repair centers. Repair so many things in a day or week and you get a bonus, incentivizes quick and shoddy work.
Look at those new editing skills! Someone did some courses.
Nice Video, Dude! Welldone! Красава! Молодец! Лайк!
Hey, what would happen if you replaced the ps5 liquid metal for thermal paste? Video please
When you say they saod they coulnt fix it sometimes some people change or take parts without even telling you to try to fix others ps5 or any other product,i know that because that heppened to me with my ps4,no video and when i took it to send to another people they told me that it was broken and some parts were missing,i didnt opened so what is that tell you?.but there are others that work perfectly like you
Merry chrisas from argentins mate.
Where can we win or buy these items that you fixed. 😅 also amazing job as always !
Is the coolermaster E2 Gold paste good? I put it on the ps4 pro myself, so I'm wondering if it's ok because of the chip
Great buy and a short time fix. These companies don't want to spend any more time on it so just say it's a no fix !!!
You do good work I want to send mine how do ??
What temperature do you use
Damn bro, $150 for a PS5, what a steal🔥
Can you do a video about soldering iron tip maintenance. I've heard you have to season them when they are new and other stuff I don't understand
Season the tip🤔 who told you those exact words, it's tinning the tip
@@Keepskatin so make a video explaining bc I clearly have no clue
@@inibrasiumthefirst2680 many free UA-cam videos that show you how to coat the iron with solder
Sry for the maybe stuoid question, but what's the translucent stuff you put on first?
I wish some repair shops actually cared what they fixed I have some issues with repair shops before and now I fix my own because repair shops that are supposed to do it can't be trusted what a shame
Okay so i think i need to tell u this i dont have a ps5 im broke and also im not a technician 😂😂😂 but i really reallyyyyyy love your videos please keep it up and bring ps5 videos often love your work❤🎉
Hi have a PS5 slim digital version and there is a loud humming sounds from the fan or GPU how is this possibly
Did you move the thermal pad?
What do you do with the PS5's once you fix them?
Not sure on your thoughts, but could you share what franchise did the 3 non fixes. Not to flame them, but to keep consumers away and aware.
I'm pretty sure its, U better not BREAK it because I won't FIX it.
is that liquid stuff mercury? sweet fix on the ps5
only issue you should be saying "solid" everytime you poke the pins.
When it is a national chain repair shop, you really should call them out, if they can't do the work, people need to know so they do t support them. I'd they want to stay in business, they can do quality work!
can someone explain to me what that capacitor is doing there? I really don't understand because I'm new at this
we need new content please do ps3 backwards compatibility fix
the repair shop needs to hire you
More like he hires them.
Nice quick repair! Maybe repair sgops should hire better techs
Where do you get your Q tips
please tell me what kind of white liquid you apply before soldering. and what do you use to clean it all after soldering to make it look nice?
It's called "solder flux", google it. He cleans it with isopropyl alcohol afterwards.
What kind of work shop was that? Such an easy fix what the hell
What are the best places to send my consoles for repair this day and age?
Please do more Steam Deck repairs
Absolutely insane how dumb some people are. That seems like an easy fix most repair shops could do pretty easily. I hope the original owner didn’t pay for those people to just send it back broken. Glad that you got it fixed & this PS5 will live anew.
Someone failed 3 times to fix *THAT?* TronicsFix didn't even break a sweat!
Greetings. Is it possible to reconnect a ps5 to PSN that is reported as stolen?
I really don't like the placement of that capacitor being right next to the HDMI pins in general. It's just way too close for it.
I have a Xbox one S that will freeze and shutdown. What are some causes and or could you fix it? I can only play for about 30 mins and it will shut down sometimes with in mins of starting a game. It doesn’t matter which game
How much would you charge me to fix a couple of xbox 360 slims?
I followed one of your previous video on how to clean the PS5 stage 3. And now no video comes on. I did everything super delicately. Can you help me out please?
Nice! I guess repair shops don't care much about cleaning up the flux mess they leave behind? haha
Hi Sir, I am an avid viewer of your channel and I have an iPad pro 1st Gen that is not booting up and wanted to know how I can donate and send it to you for you to fix it.
Always fan boy 😎
Nice!
What was the capacitor doing on the hdmi port?
looks like it connects 5v to ground. just turns two traces needed to one since there is plenty other ground pins as well
Those repairshops technicians needs to take a soldering course
If I'm to send Steve something to fix that a so-called repair shop couldn't, I'll definitely post their data on the item and be ready for the vid to be uploaded so I can can post that info here, as well.
