    I’ve bought many systems that weren’t supposed to be running at all and some needed cleaning or something like miss aligned inside, a PlayStation 4 like new had coins that a little kid put in and the mom said it doesn’t work. I took the money out and got it to work perfectly and cleaned it and it looks like a brand new system. This kind of work is not for everyone and you need patience to look at the components and love doing it too. Good job on the repair.

    subbed. incredible restore! question on the plastic welding: is it just a soldering iron and a "sacrificed" tip? if so, what temps do you aim for? do you glue / epoxy beforehand? do you add more ads plastic? sorry for barrage of questions, i have a ps4 pro i just inherited where the top shell has a small hole. figured id be in market of trying to source an oem shell or a 3rd party one, but youve inspired me to try and tackle it!
