This PS5 was DROPPED | Can I FIX It?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I picked this PlayStation 5 up from off eBay for £220. It was sold as Impact Damaged and that it had been dropped with the HDMI cable inserted, directly onto the HDMI port!
Let's crack this open and see if it's just a HDMI problem... I mean, will it even power on?
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

    Love your vids steve. Liquid metal-cotton bud soaked in ipa. Use it to group together the liquid metal, suck it up with a syringe. On both the die and heatsink. Then you can see the full extent of the oxidisation. Clean that off with a fresh cotton swab and ipa. If the oxidisation is too bad to remove with that i use 6000 grit sandpaper to remove the rest. Re apply the original liquid metal and respread it on both the die and heatsink. Job done. Hope that helps

    I used to work for PSN Hardware Support. The number of calls I had about damaged HDMI sockets was quite impressive. I don't know exactly why, but they DO seem to be unusually delicate. I mean HDMI sockets in general are terrible, but the PS5 ones seemed to be quite easy to damage. I think a lot of it would be eager hand fumbling around the back of the console and trying to shove the plug in without looking... but still. Anyway good repair, maybe get some d-Brand plates for the case if it's a little scuffed? :D

    Oh man, this fix was stellar….that was firstclass soldering. 👍 and for me the most suprising, Steve has a family with a daughter. I always pictured you a slightly nerdy single. Don’t ask me why.

    I'm definitely still slightly nerdy 🤓

    I took apart a PS5 that was overheating. Man you got to have the ability to organize your workspace with taking one of these apart. Different length screws with different thread pitches. It sucks
