Kinda reminds you of the original meaning of 'bugs' (a long time ago problems with computers were often caused because of all sorts of bugs → also cockroaches going into those giant computers, these bugs were then blocking the relays, meaning they couldn't close; and we today complain about programming mistakes...)
Me rn . I’ve taken my PS4 apart and I’ve become a expert at doing so. Every time I think it’s done they come back. Might just get a new power source and cockroach proof my PS4
you're the first pertinent comment ! I have thought the same ! It's the true problem, i can't imagine how can be their house if they have cockroaches in it ..!!
Not really, cockroaches will go into people houses clean or dirty to find a warm home to make a family. And the Ps4 has enough space in it plus it has a mini heater when someone is using the ps4 it warms up the system and the roaches
It would be very easy and INEXPENSIVE to place a mesh that would protect the console from dust and insects... it's outrageous that it's not there and then they refuse to repair the consoles that get "infested"...
I am so glad to live in a country where roaches are very uncommon. I know they exist here, but they're rare enough that I've only ever encountered them abroad. I don't normally get creeped out by bugs, but roaches are the stuff of nightmares.
If you truly accept and fix systems like these then you all are a standing testimony to "Love thy neighbor". The world needs more people like your group.
Never even heard of this issue but glad to know there's a service for it, keep up the great work. I can't imagine dealing with cockroaches scattering everywhere while doing a repair, the intricacies of the system are probably enough of a headache
Yugi Boy if u work for a electronics fixin place ur gonna come across bugs sooner or later thats what geek Squad told me and i have a friend that works for sony hes got his own lil company for fixing stuff
Many years ago when I worked at a service center for a major retailer, we would get all types of consumer electronics in for repair, Warranty and out-of-warranty. Most consumers never read their warranty or extended warranty that both would state that damage caused by an outside force like water, insects, etc. was not covered. I got to learn that when units would come in for service, I would look at the paperwork as to the last name and if the address was an apartment. I'd say 80% of the time my criteria would be correct for determining if the unit would be roach infested or not. Secondly I would smell the unit as roach infested units have a nasty distinct smell you get to recognize quickly. So all those roach infested units I would open outside with gloves on and two cans of air upside down so I could "freeze kill" any live ones trying to escape! If the unit was badly infested, I would close it back up and put the unit in a large zip lock with a copy of the warranty section that they never read. The repair cost to replace boards and all other damaged mechanics, etc. was often more then the cost to buy a new unit!
I'm still blown away that you get consoles infested with roaches. I can't imagine the environment they are coming from. Should make one titled "How to prevent roach infestations in your console: Keep your place clean." 🤢
I can honestly say if anyone ever sees a bug (cockroach) in their house they need to buy a product called ADVION! You will never ever have anymore issues with them again! My neighbor had them and then they tried to move in ours! This product will not fail you! People have to remember that bugs don’t equal filth all the time!
This is why roaches like ps4s, this is way they're bad, most repair shops won't do this kind of work, we do, call us. Thanks dude. really appreciate how you went over how to take the power supply out to clean the roaches out and actually fix the thing in a video entitled "How To Fix Roach Infested Console". really great video.

@@trickyghost7704 be careful shaking it. You can loosen or break components inside that way. Get a heavy duty trash bag, spray it with raid and then put your system in it the bag. Tie and tape the bag shut completely and leave your system in it air tight for 2/3 hours. Once taken out, wipe it down and take the top lid off and use a vacuum to clean the dead bugs out of the inside. Shop vacs work the best because of the extra horsepower, but a home vacuum will do.
I have customers that bring these in. Sometimes with live ones still running around in it. If I suspect it when they come in, i'll bag it first. Once confirmed, I rebag it and call for pick up. I won't bother with fixing it, simply because once they get it home, it happens again. There's a much bigger problem in the home.
My dad literally makes 1000 a week and he literally says no when me and my mom tell him about an Exterminator, we live in a house that literally looks like it's gonna fall and collapse, i Just found roaches in my ps4 today, and I put my ps4 in my back pack, i'm at my friends house and I don't wanna give his clean house roaches so I'm just sad now and I wanna Cry
So you found roaches in your ps4, put the ps4 in your back ppack, went to your friends with the roach infested ps4 in the backpack and dont want to give his clean house roaches?...btw roaches dont mean dirty, they eat books, paper, hair, cardboard, glue, wood ect.
Best Buy wouldn't repair any electronics with roach infestation around 2000-2001. We were to tell people it was a health code violation and we weren't allowed to work on them. I have no idea if that's true or not. I imagine it was just a company policy.
if your situation is so dire that you can't effectively control your roach issue for reasons beyond your control... maybe buying expensive electronics should be lower on the totem pole of things needing to be done in your life. I had to deal with a huge bug infestation a few years ago, I sealed everything I owned into plastic boxes, sealed them in ducktape then shoved them into garbage bags and put them in a self storage for about a year. did everything I could and dedicated my life to exterminating the pest. it took two years but, i did it and can now play my stuff in relative comfort and without fear of this kind of issue.
You do realize when people live in apartments/duplex/townhouses these roaches sometimes travel right? No matter how clean and bleached your house is, if Bob and Sue next door are dirty hamsters their roaches will find their way into your place.
I just repaired a ps4 from ebay that had this problem. It seems to be rather common, surprisingly. Fortunately I was able the clean the char on the pcb with a razor and replace the fuse. It looks like they might have shit between a ground jumper and a live jumper wire. I was a bit confused by the way the wires had melted until I noticed all the poop and roach bodies. Glad this one worked out! Didn't even have to buy a new PSU
Its so frustrating to see people associate roaches=dirty house when every day im deep cleaning my house, placing bait, killing every roach I see, and doing EVERYTHING I can to get rid of them and NOTHING will work because we live next to a creek. We finally can afford to have a company come spray, they did the first one recently and im just hoping with all my heart and soul it will actually work but no exaggeration having roaches is literally traumatizing and will ruin the way you live your life. Going to someone's house without roaches is unbelievably relaxing 😭😭 but anyways just saying that even if your house is totally spotless with no open food you can still have roaches because of location and yall that look down on people just for having roaches are disrespectful as hell. Just totally belittles what I and millions of other people struggle with everyday trying to get rid of them. I know a dude whose room is DISGUSTING and he has the same amount of roaches as me because we're in the same area. While having a dirty environment can definitely make them worse, having a clean environment doesn't make them magically dissappear.
You guys can fix this yourself by ordering a new power supply and installing yourself but the power supply number must match the game number ,its a 4 digit number and have a letter behind it its gonna start out as cuh- I had the ps4 slim ww2 bundle 1k TB so mines was cuh-2115b
DNF phobia unless you live in an apartment, where no matter how clean and spotless your apartment is, all it takes is one filthy neighbor and negligence from the complex to not kill their roaches before they get to your place, (Especially if filthy neighbors leave the complex) and BAM! Instant Infestation with no save whatsoever. What's worse is if there's multiple filthy neighbors, they just combo into your house and it's literally nigh-impossible to kill all the nests without rooting through the entire apartment, which for some people is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Must be nice to not be poor.
Question, I've had one lost to roaches last year and my current one just randomly shut off last night as if someone turned the power on and off for a quarter second. I don't know if it was roaches since we have them but I do know it scared the hell out of me. I'm wondering if to keep them out, would it be ok to wrap the console in mosquito netting to keep them out from now on? I figure it's breathable enough it wouldn't impede airflow but I'm concerned that it might.
@@Tronicsfix Well right now I have it in a plastic bag along with two paper towels sprayed with Raid lightly. I'm gonna start keeping it in a bag from now on when it's not in use.
great video! would you charge more to fix a live cockroach infested PS4 than to fix one with a similar problem but without roaches? I mean, when you open a ps4 with live roaches inside, there's a great chance that they'll colonize your own house or workshop, which won't only be uncomfortable but it imply expending money, work and time in getting rid on the infestation, probably much more than what the ps4 fix costs
How on earth people leave on a place that is infested with insect so bad that they move into a console is amazing to consider the hygienic on these houses.
Can someone please invent some type of cover that could over PS4 to keep bugs out but still be breathable and not overheat system when it's on. I'm guessing you'd have to make a mesh cover and install fans in it and make it like a air bubble with holes to fit just the cords. Plus a zipper in from to change games. Someone make it, I'll buy it. This video old, you still remove bugs from ps4s?
Tbh a lot of the times it’s not the fact that they are cockroaches in the person’s house 💀 my mom is the cleanest person i know she has us moving everything to clean every two days and yet cockroaches are always in my ps4 no matter how clean it is they just love it
This made my skin crawl one time i was playing right and i saw one roach crawling on top of my ps4 and my dad killed it right on time before it gets inside
If you have cockroaches in your house the best thing to do is to put cimexa around baseboards and you can even lightly dust the inside of the ps4 power supply with it. it is non toxic non conductive desiccant silica powder. it puts micro scratches on the cockroaches exoskeleton and then dehydrates them causing death within 24-48 hours or less. i once had a bug problem and used cimexa and haven't seen a single bug in my house since. its for bedbugs and cockroaches. but it says it will also work on any insect with a hard exoskeleton.
TronicsFix my house is infested with roaches. i think we've had this problem for 3 or 4 yrs. are you telling me that if I buy a ps4, roaches will infest it and possibly break the ps4?
xloserx 62 People really make that sound easy, don't they? Cleaning a house that has any sort of insect isn't the easiest or cheapest task to do whatsoever, and it depends on whether it's a house or apartment. That difference is staggering.
I've thought of that but the problem is that there are vents in the back and vents all along the sides...I haven't figured out a good way to put mesh around it in a way that looks good and will seal it up.
TronicsFix I got an idea, maybe cut some net at the right size just enough to cover the sides then cut another one that covers the back, maybe the net on the back will have cuts enough the things you plug will fit in, seal it with electric tape then maybe that should fix it? I think I will try it out
unfortunately my mothers house is infested with roaches and my ps4 stopped working for a few days (which sucks cause I needed to live stream) so I took it outside and pointed the back (where the fans are) and shook it out with up and down movements,... lots of dead and live roaches came out as well as many dried egg shells but either way, it work and ps4 is back on. I am glad however, that there is a place I can go to if it stops working again lol very awesome informative video guys!
The best thing to do is get all of the roaches out. If they stay in there they will ruin the power supply. You'll have to disassemble the entire console to get them all out...they hide everywhere.
For me the roaches idk died in there and know it smells burnt with the smell of oranges to and when I'm playing sometimes my thing completely turns off then i have to take out every cord then reply them and hope it turns on
get some wire and make a small chain link fence barrier, and attach it to the open vents of a PS4 make it to where something can not fit through the fence but you still have proper ventilation.
Nice cleaned refurbished unit getting sent back to the same infested house so it can happen again. I'd say no 6 month warranty on insect infested consoles.
Bought a ps4 that kept giving the ps4 is too hot message. Found a bunch of roaches in it, cause the ps4 power supply to overheat. Cleaned out the ps4, re-paste the cpu/gpu and replaced the power supply. PS4 works like a charm now.
you don't have to worry about this if you've never had a cockroach in your house right? but what about other bugs that are harmless, there could be many bugs living inside our electronics we don't know about
I've never had a console come in that had anything other than cockroaches so I think they are the main problem. That being said, I'm sure there are other bugs out there that could be a problem. If you don't have cockroaches in your house then it would be hard for them to get to your console...unless you take it to your cockroach infested friends house.
🤔💭I've Obtained a White PS4 PRO & It's Not Powering On, (Most Likely Due To Roaches) - (I've Seen Some Dead One's Inside Of The Console) I Press The Power Button But Nothing Happens, No Sound, No Light, Nothing, But When I Try Pressing The [Disc Eject Button] It'll Make a Beep Sound, As It Should, Indicating That There's No Disc Inside, But Nothing Happens When I Press The Power Button, What Should I Do?🤔💭🧐🤷🤦
Interesting Video Thanks for that... Is a Methode known how to prevent that happening?? Some Upgrades or somthing to attache on..? Greetings from Germany 😊
Welcome Germany! I don't know of a good method. I've told people to try mosquito netting but I don't have them in my area so I don't know for sure how well it works.
Sadly they no longer do repairs and the site they recommend doesn’t do bug infestations. Just got taken by someone on offerup and now stuck with a $200 paper weight
It's like Russian roulette too.. I've had ps4s last for years with bug problems. And I've had a ps4 that roaches burnt out it 3 weeks.. you just never know.
I have 3 PS4's a PS4 Pro, PS4 Slim and an original PS4. Can I send 2 of my PS4's to you that are roach infected? Idk if the 3rd one has roaches in it or not but I really need it to be checked out. Also where are you guys located cause I would really appreciate it if I could get both of my PS4's fixed and my original PS4 checked out.
Bought one off eBay, didn't see any on the inside of the PSU so I took the cover off the back to look at the back of the PCB and there they were. Big burn mark and a hole too that turned half the PCB black. Looks like it hurt
is sony gonna release a patch to fix the bug??

We finally can afford to have a company come spray, they did the first one recently and im just hoping with all my heart and soul it will actually work but no exaggeration having roaches is literally traumatizing and will ruin the way you live your life. Going to someone's house without roaches is unbelievably relaxing 😭😭 but anyways just saying that even if your house is totally spotless with no open food you can still have roaches because of location and yall that look down on people just for having roaches are disrespectful as hell. Just totally belittles what I and millions of other people struggle with everyday trying to get rid of them. I know a dude whose room is DISGUSTING and he has the same amount of roaches as me because we're in the same area. While having a dirty environment can definitely make them worse, having a clean environment doesn't make them magically dissappear.
You guys can fix this yourself by ordering a new power supply and installing yourself but the power supply number must match the game number ,its a 4 digit number and have a letter behind it its gonna start out as cuh- I had the ps4 slim ww2 bundle 1k TB so mines was cuh-2115b
On original PS4’s the model number starts with adp then a 200 number and 2 letters... mine is adp-200er
I dont have a ps4 or roaches. And im here watching
how about stop playing video games and get the roaches out of your house lol
Judson Putnii you know it's not that easy they just keep coming
I know right
Barry B. Benson the cleaner your house is the less likely they are to appear
DNF phobia unless you live in an apartment, where no matter how clean and spotless your apartment is, all it takes is one filthy neighbor and negligence from the complex to not kill their roaches before they get to your place, (Especially if filthy neighbors leave the complex) and BAM! Instant Infestation with no save whatsoever. What's worse is if there's multiple filthy neighbors, they just combo into your house and it's literally nigh-impossible to kill all the nests without rooting through the entire apartment, which for some people is EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. Must be nice to not be poor.
It is also very hard to get rid of them all if you move into a house that's already infested with them sadly :(
Really bummed you guys aren’t accepting repairs you were my only hope 😅😭😭😭
Question, I've had one lost to roaches last year and my current one just randomly shut off last night as if someone turned the power on and off for a quarter second. I don't know if it was roaches since we have them but I do know it scared the hell out of me. I'm wondering if to keep them out, would it be ok to wrap the console in mosquito netting to keep them out from now on? I figure it's breathable enough it wouldn't impede airflow but I'm concerned that it might.
That might work but no way for me to know for sure. You might also try keeping it in a sealed container when you're not using it.
@@Tronicsfix Well right now I have it in a plastic bag along with two paper towels sprayed with Raid lightly. I'm gonna start keeping it in a bag from now on when it's not in use.
wait, you didn't actually show "how to fix.." it.
If cockroaches love PS4 so much, why don't companies make PS4-shaped cockroach traps with all the heat? It could be a great trap.
great video! would you charge more to fix a live cockroach infested PS4 than to fix one with a similar problem but without roaches? I mean, when you open a ps4 with live roaches inside, there's a great chance that they'll colonize your own house or workshop, which won't only be uncomfortable but it imply expending money, work and time in getting rid on the infestation, probably much more than what the ps4 fix costs
why does your house have cockroaches tho?
How on earth people leave on a place that is infested with insect so bad that they move into a console is amazing to consider the hygienic on these houses.
Can someone please invent some type of cover that could over PS4 to keep bugs out but still be breathable and not overheat system when it's on. I'm guessing you'd have to make a mesh cover and install fans in it and make it like a air bubble with holes to fit just the cords. Plus a zipper in from to change games. Someone make it, I'll buy it. This video old, you still remove bugs from ps4s?
Hello I have a question. Will a mesh in vents prevent this?
I guess you could say that the PS4 is pretty...
*puts on glasses*
Buggy.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Tbh a lot of the times it’s not the fact that they are cockroaches in the person’s house 💀 my mom is the cleanest person i know she has us moving everything to clean every two days and yet cockroaches are always in my ps4 no matter how clean it is they just love it
This made my skin crawl one time i was playing right and i saw one roach crawling on top of my ps4 and my dad killed it right on time before it gets inside
My god, man! Where are your gloves?
If you have cockroaches in your house the best thing to do is to put cimexa around baseboards and you can even lightly dust the inside of the ps4 power supply with it. it is non toxic non conductive desiccant silica powder. it puts micro scratches on the cockroaches exoskeleton and then dehydrates them causing death within 24-48 hours or less. i once had a bug problem and used cimexa and haven't seen a single bug in my house since. its for bedbugs and cockroaches. but it says it will also work on any insect with a hard exoskeleton.
Even roaches like ps4s
Is the Ps4 slim's vent the only way cockroaches can enter the unit? Much love and you got a new sub :D
Pretty much, ya. Thanks for the sub!
It cost at least $130 for Tronix to fix bug infested ps4s! Really?
if you have lots of games downloaded ON the ps4 it might be worth it
cleaning cockroach shit is pretty hazardous, and also disgusting. as someone who's cleaned houses for money, it doesn't surprise me at all.
YES! I'm actually considering charging more for it. It's pretty disgusting work and nobody else is providing this service that I know of.
TronicsFix my house is infested with roaches. i think we've had this problem for 3 or 4 yrs. are you telling me that if I buy a ps4, roaches will infest it and possibly break the ps4?
If there are roaches in your house they will probably get into your PS4 and likely cause the power supply to go out.
A whole ass butterfly just flew into my PS4 so this was incredibly helpful
how can I prevent my cockroaches from touching the two points?
You might try mosquito netting over the console?
never did i think i would have to search this
how do you get rid of them
Just Roaches in general?
clean your house my dude
fipronil
Henry Ettoit 😂😂 good one
xloserx 62 People really make that sound easy, don't they? Cleaning a house that has any sort of insect isn't the easiest or cheapest task to do whatsoever, and it depends on whether it's a house or apartment. That difference is staggering.
I love the intro😂😂
man this just happened to me

Do you still have this service? I have a “10 month” PS4 that lost its life just sitting in my closet that I would LOVE TO HAVE AS A BETTER BACKUP….
I'm gonna visit this one place close to me and if they can't fix it I'll send it to you guys
Sounds great!
Would you guys still be able to take mine? Mine is one of the original PS4, the bigger bulky ones
Why don't you just create something to make it impossible for roaches to enter.
That would be awesome...but what?
A thin mesh filter over the air vents? Pantyhose? You'd have to change or clean it periodically, but that's better than cockroaches killing your PS4.
I've thought of that but the problem is that there are vents in the back and vents all along the sides...I haven't figured out a good way to put mesh around it in a way that looks good and will seal it up.
TronicsFix I got an idea, maybe cut some net at the right size just enough to cover the sides then cut another one that covers the back, maybe the net on the back will have cuts enough the things you plug will fit in, seal it with electric tape then maybe that should fix it? I think I will try it out
I would say buy another one and this time keep it in a closed clear been type of container for now on for now after every single use
unfortunately my mothers house is infested with roaches and my ps4 stopped working for a few days (which sucks cause I needed to live stream) so I took it outside and pointed the back (where the fans are) and shook it out with up and down movements,... lots of dead and live roaches came out as well as many dried egg shells but either way, it work and ps4 is back on. I am glad however, that there is a place I can go to if it stops working again lol very awesome informative video guys!
We get lots of them in for repairs. Hopefully yours will last a long time.
it has,... its one of the first types :D
1st question: how did this happen.
Roaches crawled in it
Which part the part where the heat comes out?
PS4 has large heat vents, might have been positioned near food crumbs or something that will attract roaches, roaches notice how nice it is in there.
honestly Roaches go inside my ps4 slim hundreds of times but my ps4 slim still seems to be working perfectly fine and iam happy about it
I have a question if i send you guys my ps4 and it gets repaired would i loose all my games and saved data in their ?
Plz reply asap
No, we never erase data.
TronicsFix I have cockroach is my ps4 but it still come on but sometime there is a burning smell is there any thing I can do
The best thing to do is get all of the roaches out. If they stay in there they will ruin the power supply. You'll have to disassemble the entire console to get them all out...they hide everywhere.
For me the roaches idk died in there and know it smells burnt with the smell of oranges to and when I'm playing sometimes my thing completely turns off then i have to take out every cord then reply them and hope it turns on
get some wire and make a small chain link fence barrier, and attach it to the open vents of a PS4 make it to where something can not fit through the fence but you still have proper ventilation.
how to open ps4? and what tools you need like if agree
A hammer will do the trick.
PapierVersnipperaar OK lol
Can i fix this on my own and how does anyone have a video
If your roach problem is so bad that they're short-circuiting your electronics, it's it's time to just burn the house down

how long does it take to fix and ship back? I saw you also buy them too? what about the games also? they still work
+Phillip Ballesteros 4-5 days for the fix and 4-5 days for return shipping. We buy a few broken consoles but not generally games.
A video that addresses the question then goes straight into the answer without 2 minutes of intro/exposition? I commend you
Thanks! It's a hard balance sometimes.
So glad we don't have this problem in the uk
Nice cleaned refurbished unit getting sent back to the same infested house so it can happen again. I'd say no 6 month warranty on insect infested consoles.
Bought a ps4 that kept giving the ps4 is too hot message. Found a bunch of roaches in it, cause the ps4 power supply to overheat. Cleaned out the ps4, re-paste the cpu/gpu and replaced the power supply. PS4 works like a charm now.
Hey @TronicsFix just a question, do you guys accept PS4 slims from the USA
Edit: more specificly from Houston, TX
you don't have to worry about this if you've never had a cockroach in your house right? but what about other bugs that are harmless, there could be many bugs living inside our electronics we don't know about
I've never had a console come in that had anything other than cockroaches so I think they are the main problem. That being said, I'm sure there are other bugs out there that could be a problem. If you don't have cockroaches in your house then it would be hard for them to get to your console...unless you take it to your cockroach infested friends house.
🤔💭I've Obtained a White PS4 PRO & It's Not Powering On, (Most Likely Due To Roaches) - (I've Seen Some Dead One's Inside Of The Console) I Press The Power Button But Nothing Happens, No Sound, No Light, Nothing, But When I Try Pressing The [Disc Eject Button] It'll Make a Beep Sound, As It Should, Indicating That There's No Disc Inside, But Nothing Happens When I Press The Power Button, What Should I Do?🤔💭🧐🤷🤦
Interesting Video Thanks for that...
Is a Methode known how to prevent that happening??
Some Upgrades or somthing to attache on..?
Greetings from Germany 😊
Welcome Germany! I don't know of a good method. I've told people to try mosquito netting but I don't have them in my area so I don't know for sure how well it works.
Is tht power supply working now or did u fix tht
If bugs are inside, dont keep the ps4 inside, show them the door and throw it out.
Couldn't you just buy a new power supply to fix it
Tony Scally yeah 26 dollars on amazon and to avoid it buy a cover for your ps4
Sean Simmons $26?? Link me cause im looking for one for my ps4 slim and all i see is $60+
PS4 Slims are more. PS4 Pro power supply's aren't available.
Sadly they no longer do repairs and the site they recommend doesn’t do bug infestations. Just got taken by someone on offerup and now stuck with a $200 paper weight
nice advertisement. made my day.
Do a video on testing a PS4 power supply. I don't have roaches but would love to test mine to see if it's really dead.
Debugging as PS4 PSU, reminds me of fixing old tube radios back in the day.
Sony needs to fix these bugs
It's like Russian roulette too.. I've had ps4s last for years with bug problems. And I've had a ps4 that roaches burnt out it 3 weeks.. you just never know.
I have 3 PS4's a PS4 Pro, PS4 Slim and an original PS4. Can I send 2 of my PS4's to you that are roach infected? Idk if the 3rd one has roaches in it or not but I really need it to be checked out. Also where are you guys located cause I would really appreciate it if I could get both of my PS4's fixed and my original PS4 checked out.
you didnt even show how to fix it you just showed the roach aftermath.
I’m too scared of cockroaches to fix my PS4
Same 😰
Bought one off eBay, didn't see any on the inside of the PSU so I took the cover off the back to look at the back of the PCB and there they were. Big burn mark and a hole too that turned half the PCB black. Looks like it hurt
Speaking of cockroaches, you should let Restorish keep the PS5 ;)
Lol!
What if you don't live anywhere near us how do we get the ps4 to you
