$100 BROKEN PS5 From a Viewer - But Can I Fix It?!
Ғылым және технология
$100 BROKEN PS5 From a Viewer - But Can I Fix It?! A viewer named Brandon sold this to me because it has a broken fan connector and shuts down right after start-up. I wondered if liquid metal issues were the cause of it shutting down but had to fix the fan connector first.

After watching your videos I've used these methods to fix things I've ran across that were broken. I actually started fixing the forklift displays by taking one we had repaired by a company and found what display they used, then tracked it down on my own. $25 and a half hour of my time saves us a couple hundred dollars each!

I love seeing how you get various consoles to work again, this has motivated me to try and repair not only my stuff but also my friends stuff, with Joy Cons do you know what could cause a joy con to not work whilst detached from the switch? I had this problem but i have no idea how to fix it, thanks!
WOW! That was amazing! Do you take on apprentices? I would love to learn how to do this stuff, i've repaired some XBOX 360's and PS3's back in the day but, i would love to learn more on the things you've done today. Thanks for the video

Did that "run over" PS5 have an organ donor card? Good to know that all those useable still good parts are getting a new life. Seeing the liquid metal in a blob that was off to one side sure looks like the past owner had the device in the upright position. Being that the word is out about PS5's having liquid metal issues leaking onto the mother board when left in the vertical position, I'd keep it in the horizontal side as much as possible. Good Show!!
Love the new t-shirt!

With such a fragile fan connector (after repair) i would personally snip the fan cable in half and add a connector in the middle, so the one on actual board can stay plugged in. That way when you need to clean it in the future you don't risk damaging it again.

You make it look easy to fix. I got my nephew’s PS5 that was thrown down to the floor by his girlfriend. It was clean inside but cosmetically damaged. So I replaced the Power supply, and the I/O port. It powers on fan runs but I get no video. Don’t know what else to do at this point!
Damm bro good video❤❤watching to make me feel better cuz i have no ps5...😅😅
I'm sure this has been ask before but do you have a shop/place we can send something to get fix?? Thank you! Keep up the great work!
Fan connector is very flimsy on PS. Tried to fit a new fan in my ps4 and connector pulled off the board. Its incredibly fiddly to fix and was already after a ps5 so bought that. Now have various ps4 parts to sell including MB lacking a fan connector and working psu
Last weekend I fixed my high temperature filament dryer. I took it apart, and it looked like the connectors were just loose, but I removed the PSU, checked for shorts. Everything was fine. I plugged it in and it worked. So yeah just loose connectors.

@@JzLyfeyes.. you can buy most things, but if it's under warranty then parts should be offered. Blue yeti mics for example, they would rather just send you a new one and destroy the old ones cause they don't refurb them since Logitech took them over.
The short 1-year warranty of consoles is one of the main reasons that drive me away from them and made me prefer self-built desktop PCs for gaming, where most parts have at least 3-year warranties. Seriously, one year warranty is BS for any electronics product which has thousands of parts that can (and will) fail. Anyway, sorry for the rant and congratulations on another successful fix, that repair was quite a deal even you take labour costs in account.
Great repair you can make an extra $300 on it

Hi Steve can you do a video to show if the dust catcher holes being vacuumed actually works please
Interesting. I had a similar issue with a BRAND NEW out of the box PS5. Plugged in, set it up etc, then it would randomly shut down and tell me i unplugged the power supply. I exchanged it for a new one from the store and never had it happen again. Wonder if the Power supply from the factory was just bad?
Hello, where do you sell your repaired products
Hey, my ps5 won’t turn on, I’m guessing because of a thunderstorm recently. Any recommendations? I will get a new power cord soon but I wanna see if I can do anything before.
