This PS5 Was In A HOUSE FIRE! Let's Try to Fix It! The seller said it got a lot of water in it due to being in a house fire. It's really dirty, smells really bad, and I didn't feel comfortable even trying to turn it on to test it without taking it apart first to see how bad the inside was.

The bug is a masked hunter! The immature stage of the insect (the nymph) covers itself with dust and debris and thats what we see here!
Yup, deffo.
little dusty baby
Name him Phoenix, little bro is literally rising from the dust and ashes.
There's like spiders. They kill nasty bugs like bed bugs and termites.
One of the few bugs I won't hulk smash. He ain't staying inside though lol.
ITS A SPIDER WITH DUST REEEEE
Thanks for not editing out the mistake you'd made with the ribbon cable of the blu-ray drive! It's definitely something that folks watching might miss and not have the advantage of a working drive to catch the comparison to, so it's a great lesson. Always a great video, Steve!
Do not throw those plates away!! You could make another video where you try different cleaning / sanding / repainting methods on them based on the suggestions you are getting here. We would LOVE to see that!
It would probably be relatively easy to clean them using a magic eraser.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo Every time I see discoloured plastic I'm thinking the same! Just use a magic eraser!!
Forget magic erasers. Just blast that with a power washer.
I'd love to see him try to hydrodip them.
I'd say wrap them
I love watching the diligent and methodical way you troubleshoot these issues! It's like watching someone solve a puzzle
Thanks! Glad you enjoy these
Many times In Troubleshooting that is 100% what it is like I work with Gas Station being tech support for them
Have you ever thought about using ultrasonic cleaner? Might be useful with water damaged PCBs.
Yep, I have one. I showed it in a video a while back
@@Tronicsfix what happened when you tried it? Oh you didn't try it.
These are the kind of videos I love to watch. Keeps you holding on watching because you don’t know if it can be saved or not.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos, and amazed at the patience you have in doing your repairs.
Great job Steve. Surprising how easy that was to get up and running again. Just a heads up because you know I love to sound like a know it all but if the disc drive isn't hooked up it won't make a beep noise
Keep them coming bud
This video is so wholesome it made cry out of sheer happiness. I need more content like this in my life!
Thanks a lot!!
FreshWave is a product originally made for warehouse fires. It absorbs the odor and dries out as it does so. If you can put the parts in a sealable container like a storage one, then put a jar of FreshWave in, too. It removes the smell. Then clean the parts.
We had a house fire once and someone told us about Simple Green cleaner. It was the only thing we could find that was able to clean it without a ton of manual labor. Great video Steve!!
Isopropanol would have worked as shown in the beginning but instead he used water...
over the years i have fixed many liquid damage stuff,i can tell you now, if the system have no power to it except a cmos battery you have hope.What i do is dip the entire board in mentholated spirit and leave it there for 10 minutes, then take it out and put it in the sun,after that dip it again then blow dry it. it will work
Love your videos, I did find this one hilarious because you slowly kept replacing each part and basically built a brand new PS5 from other parts.
It's the PS5 of Theseus
Because he got money and don't try to fix it cheap
He just put more money in to fix it just to buy a new one
You guys act like he used super expensive parts other than the power supply it was just a shell from another ps5 he couldn't get going. 🙄 if he turns around and gets the parts properly cleaned he can use them to resale another unit and he still makes a profit. THATs how repair service works its not always the full original but still fricken works.
@@exotic9592 you could buy a ps5 that was unfixable and had spare parts, combine the working motherboard cpu/gpu and you have a fixed ps5 for much cheaper.
He only replaced the power supply? I mean I’ve seen what you’re talking about in some other videos but this was a pretty cheap fix
Maybe use a magic eraser on the covers. Also would be very cool if you painted them afterwards
This man is a legend among those who live and breath on the repair field
Now go! let the legend come back to life!
He's pretty good!
🙂

@@pigroachphil8719 you got it ;)
My Manta Kit's magnetic pickup broke, the magnet came right out of the bit. After you mentioned the replacement parts for worn bits in one of your other videos I reached out to them. They sent me 2 new magnetic pickups! Thanks for mentioning that! They are a great company! Love their tools. I work in the semi-conductor industry and work on some pretty intense machines often dealing with small items and tight places. These tools have been awesome for the work I do.
Awesome! Yes, they are really great to work with for their warranty. So glad they took care of you. Sounds like you have a very interesting job!
It certainly keeps me on my toes! Working on photo lithography machines are pretty complex. Though, I often recognize MANY logos on various other components on phones, motherboards, GFX cards, and inside phones. lol
5:05 Reduvius personatus or the masked hunter is an insect belonging to the assassin bug (Reduviidae) family. The name is because its nymphs camouflage themselves with dust. The masked hunter is a predator of small arthropods, including woodlice, lacewings, earwigs, bed bugs and termites.
Then lets name it El Dusty... Or Dustonor :D but to be honest, thank you for explaining.
sounds like he was protecting the ps5 of other insects, lol
Interesting! Yep, that looks like him
Thank you for the info was really curious what it actually was... :D
I know that smell a tad well myself. I had a Nintendo Wii survive a House Fire back in 2010, the cool part was I had emailed nintendo about it and they offered to replace it for free. But I ended up just asking for new cables and wii-mote straps xD I still have said wii and it still works too. Still looks like a toasted Marshmallow and STILL has a slight smell to it!(I never took it apart to clean it)
That's pretty cool that they offered to replace it though
Wii’s are warriors 😂 One time my house flooded and my Wii was on a table on the top of other stuff, but somehow (I have no idea how), it feel into 5 inch deep water and the drop was atleast 2 feet. Surprisingly it still works, but the disc drive died 😢 it’s been stored for 5 years now…
Edit: Forgot to mention it was in the water for a whole night, and my family and I evacuated into shed, since it was above the water level.
I’m shocked 😮
I had all my consoles survive a house fire, my pc didn't completely survive, but a lot of the parts did, including the cpu, gpu and ram and somehow one ssd. Pretty wild what electronics can live through. You'd never have completely gotten the smell out anyway, not from the plastic.
@@joeghost05 That happened to me too
Interesting music! For a minute I felt like I was on Bourbon St! 🙂 You're the MAN!
You have crazy good skills! I was a bit doubtful on this one I have to admit as it looked pretty bad but you are the man!👍
I like this kinda content in addition to your not so wild fixes. Awesome content!!
I recently bought some IPA in order to clean a bunch of cartridges that weren’t consistently readable anymore (a lot of them would sort of read, but then during gameplay would say that the cart had been removed). Now they all work perfectly 😁 I’m not ambitious enough to do anything more than that as can be seen in your videos, but it’s always a pleasure to see you fixing consoles.
You make your videos fun to watch
I really enjoy everything that you put out and I am a fan for life. Keep up the great work.
That’s a lot of work usually people give up on theses issues but u are a genuis and fix theses issues
I'd love to start seeing prices such as how much you paid for the damaged device and what the cost of parts that went into it were.
It seems to rarely be worth it from a financial viewpoint anyway. Then your time that you spend attempting to fix something like this.
He buys them, because then he has a content to make a video about
Probably has power supplies lying around from other broken ps5s.
No parts, it wasn't broken he just cleaned it.
@@mediatour8898 he literally replaced most of the stuff. the shell, the power supply, the heatsink. only things that weren't replaced were the disk drive, the motherboard and I think 1 or 2 metal plates inside the console.
you should custom those side panels with a wrap. well done you are a braver man than me.
That's a good idea
Amazing fix again Steve, such a great job.
That parts labeler bit was pretty funny, I can relate. Love your videos man take care!
I love the deep clean thoughts with Steve segment 😂
Good to know! Thanks for the comment
Try lightly sanding, buffing out and polishing the old case. I imagine that might make look pretty good.
I've found my new favourite channel on youtube, love watching things get fixed 👍
Nice fix! Resurrection of the smoke dead PS5. I like these types of videos, Steve. Cos you're never gonna know if it can be fixed till you try. Keep em comin!
10:12 If you want to use a dishwasher to clean plastic parts, to be safe side, use the top rack. Reason being, the heating element for the regular and hi-temp wash/dry cycles is located at the bottom, and some elements are exposed (like in an oven). Plastic parts may warp it they are too close to that heating element. This is mentioned in the manual.
Fantastic work! Love watching you Fix It!!
Thanks! So glad you liked it
Great video Steve. As long as power wasn't flowing thru the system shouldn't have damaged anything great fix.
Finally a win! I really thought you'd be doomed after all the others, but you proved you should never give up hope. Well done.
5:14 - I'd say "Dusty". TIP: When you wash plastics in a dishwasher, put them in the upper part to prevent melting / deforming. The heating element is - usually - in the lower part of the tank, so it's where it gets hotter. Also, do not put thin plastic parts in the dishwasher... they will loose their shape.
Nicely done Steve! Great video 👍
Hey thanks!
I love your videos, anybody that can fix electronics, and keep them out of landfills is doing God's work. Bless you, man.
wow amazing work the man is super patient something i struggle with prop to you keep up the good work!!!
PLEASE show the process until the end even if it's repetitive, you're amazing and i'm craving your videos. Everytime I see a new one I click on it no matter what 😋
Love the channel! Always professional quality work.
Glad you enjoy it!
Amazing job...congrats man I love your channel. Wellyngton from Brazil. Hug's.
One of your best videos so far. Very entertaining. Loved the editing. :D
My family was in a house fire on November 28 2018 that i accidentally cause from my stupidity we lost a lot of stuff but i was able to save one of our PS3's, My old Xbox one s and our Wii with only minor damage. But since then we replaced all of them and moved to where i currently live in OKC even i though i wish the fire didn't happen but i'm grateful that i now live in a better house, a loving family and an amazing rc hobby. this is where i learned things don't matter as much they can be replaced but your family is irreplaceable. I'm glad you fixed that PS5 love the video.
May I ask how there was a house fire caused by you?
@@davemaytree2697 I can't tell you.
@@cjchannel12RC cap🧢
@@davemaytree2697 usually stuff like that is microwave or oven/outlet shortage stuff
@@gcuf1359I live in a 3 family apartment and I remember I was playing madden and my neighbors kids was making popcorn and it was burnt so they threw it in the trash and that caused a fire and their mom wasn’t home so my family was the one to help them and put the fire out
The PSP series 3000, I work on this since about 7 years and these are a nightmare, great repair!
The video was fire! and great to see another console saved,that will also be used for the reason it was created for.
Love the background sound when applying "the right amount" of thermal paste
Ha, ha, glad you enjoy that part
Thats not a background sound. That just what happens when you get the just the right amount. If you've never heard it applying thermal paste then you obviously have never done it correctly.
Lol!!!
Always good entertaining and educational stuff mate. Keep it up 👍🏽
Thanks!
When I clean of bigger pieces of plastic like those plates, I use the rough side of a kitchen sponge with some alcohol. Usually only takes about 10-15 minutes of scrubbing. Great video by the way! Always interesting and entertaining!
Always great job steve you'r amazing bro thx
If you come across smoke stinking parts, the easiest/best way Ive found of dealing with them is to fill a container with baking power/soda and let them sit in it over a few weeks or longer as needed. Also when I say sit in it, I mean actually covering the item in the baking powder. This obviously wont work for everything, but it can be a lifesaver for lots of stuff. You need to agitate the mix every couple days and maybe replace it depending on how bad the smoke smell is, but after some time it will soak up all the smoke stink. Ive used this on dvds, books, plastic action figures and many other things over the years I bought on ebay or other places that obviously came from smokers houses and its worked great. The process can take a long time, but its super cheap and super effective.
Leaving PCBs in water solution for a long time is not such a great idea. Soda can react with and damage metals. Also you need to dry the PCB at elevated temperature for a long time to get all the liquid out from the PCB substrate and under BGAs, and who knows what about residue. Wouldn't use anything but distilled water with no additives and alcohol wash really on modern PCBs with BGA parts.
As to plastic enclosure parts yeah sure they'll take a soda soak no problem, could be a great way.
@@SianaGearz I didnt mean soda and water, just plain dry powder. Basically how you throw a box in the fridge to soak up the stinkies, same thing but you just set plastic parts and stuff in there and it soaks up the nastiness. Only thing is, its a slow process that takes weeks or more, so if you need it fast this isnt the way to go but if you can chill on it, its great.
@@SianaGearz They didn't mention any liquid, just the baking powder/soda. I find for non electronics and especially fabrics, lightly sprayed vinegar and baking soda works great in a plastic bag. I would also be cautious about leaving anything that can be ph amorphous on an electrical board for a long time.
I guess that is the same principle that my grandma used with her refrigerator back in the day.
Interesting. Good to know. Thanks for the comment
Amazing Steve, I can not believe how reasonably "unscaved" it came out of the fire. My first indication was too that the fuse had blown on the power supply, but there was reasonable little water in the unit. Those fluffy things you found could have been liquid that cleaned away the dust.
I'm surprised at how good of condition its in
Great house definitely going to have a few bumps on your head Nic. Sure we will see it in future videos lol. Really nice of you to share your new lovely.
🔥🔥🔥 excellent video
I kinda like the look of dirty plastic covers. Looks like some kind of special edition :D
For the heatsink I would try to get it to dishwsher on high temperature.
Battle edition ps5
I was going to say clear coat that cover it looks really cool
Try steam cleaning it and clear coat
Gears of war xbox
I wonder what an ultrasonic cleaner would do to that heat sync and board! I'm pretty sure on the board it would have saved a bunch of manual labor, the heat sync, I'm not sure if it would be able to get everything between the fins.
Great work though!!
Amazing work 🎉 kind regards from Costa Rica
Excellent job getting that PS5 up and running again when it comes to messing with power supplies that's something I wouldn't do I've already been shocked by one and it hurt like hell
This man can fix anything 🤯
“Hella water in it “lmao legit seller imo
Lol, at least they were being honest!
love the inspirational music and hope everyone was okay
Nice job on the ps5 save! 💪🏻
the moving creature at 5:00 seems to be a spider covered in dust/ash
@Ell Jensen Reduvius personatus or the masked hunter is an insect belonging to the assassin bug (Reduviidae) family. The name is because its nymphs camouflage themselves with dust. The masked hunter is a predator of small arthropods, including woodlice, lacewings, earwigs, bed bugs and termites.
@@OccasusRaven Oh interesting, is that what you think it is?
Came for the repair stayed for the bug recognition 😀
Well done indeed Steve 😀👍
Did anyone figure out what the bug is?
@@mbagle ... I’m seeing folk call it the lava stage of a masked hunter who likes to wrap themselves in muck and dust (for disguise I presume).
Nicely done Steve!
Did you ever find out what
that Bug was? I have never seen that before.
Also love the videos you do great work.
All the debris you were cleaning off is probably spray insulation from an attic. I'm a fireman and that stuff gets everywhere when you have to pull ceiling down to put the fire out or check to make sure there is no fire in the attic (extension).
ugh, blown insulation is the WORST. I really feel bad for people that have to deal with it lol
For the part you're not using, you have to disinfect them before storage. Just some precautionary measures, to prevent bug infestation.
This was very exciting repair. Great! Thx
Amazing video man 💯👍🏾
I would call the bug "Nanite". It reminds me of the evil robo bugs from Stargate the series, lol. I wonder if WD-40 would help in removing those toasty hydrocarbons?
On this one, if you could get it to work, I'd prefer to keep the smoke discoloration on the case. Epoxy over it. It's pretty cool looking and would be a cool conversation piece.
Or even add paint and make it a god of war themed case.
I had the same though, looks a lot like Fallout to me. I like this dirty look.
@@keepironman14 nah a fallout theme fits perfectly idk why u thought of god of war
@Ak-47 well god of war ragnarok just recently came out, but also his original weapon is his twin blades of chaos that are flaming.
That’s a good idea. It would be really easy to spray with enamel.
so i also run a repair shop and wow this is bad. i had a crazy repair yesterday where a customers kid projectile threw up on to their ps5 while they were playing it. honestly its amazing how some things can go through terrible events and still be recovered.
Awesome job steve!!!
thats really amazing reviving "a dead" ps5
may i ask how many hours you put into this repair please?
Hmmm...I don't remember for sure. Probably several hours
Amazing that this PS5 works after being in a fire and being doused with "hella water."
Agreed
Great work . Satifying Your videos
I just love those "Deep Clean Thoughts with Steve" segments. So ...er....clean!
Wow that is crazy
Ya, I was surprised by this one!
@@Tronicsfix wow, that’s crazy, I just hope you don’t inhale any toxic smoke. because the smell of smoke lingers around for a long time.
Time for some spray paint and make a new color for the parts that were dirty lol😂
Great video had a friend who had a house fire and shockingly enough his xbox was the only thing that survived. Besides the smoke odor the thing played like a champ
Absolutely love these videos❤
If I can offer a suggestion - try using eyeshadow/lip brushes to clean small areas instead of cotton swabs. You don't run the risk of leaving bits of cotton behind, but they're still small enough to get into small areas. There are several forms too - angled, short (1/2 inch?), longer (up to an inch?), round, etc. I've used them to clean the inside of my SP4 and other small electronics (obviously with isopropyl alcohol). You're also not using something disposable, since they can be cleaned with a dish detergent after each use.
Anime
The bug's name should be "Ash." I don't see any other name as deserving. It survived a fire, for God's sake!
Holy Sh... awesome you get this fixed 😱
I would recommend using an ultrasonic clean for the covers
Great job Steve 👏🏻
This was basically just a swapped motherboard and disc drive into a new PS5 shell
House fire...haha not even a challenge for Steve. He does amazing work everytime.
Was that a spider covered in whatever crud was inside that system? I think he should be called Glenn. No reason, just Glenn. And I think the original slightly trashed plastic shell looks awesome! Gives the box some character. You should have used it, and sold it as a gaming system from Mount Doom. Rugged.
Amazing the best guy to fix game consoles on utube
Well done!
How does Sony not plaster this video all over their marketing? "Our hardware survived a housefire and still doesn't overheat. Over to you, Microsoft!" Anyway, great video, glad you were able to fix it
Sony would prefer a customer buying a new unit, not repairing an old one.
That bug is wicked never even seen anything like that before ever ! Its called the ps5 bug 😅
It's crazy looking!
So proud of you man I’m sending my ps5 in if it has problems 😌
Could probably clean those plates with a magic eraser in NO time
Seriously, "Cleaning the shell with isopropyl alcohol would take hours...probably" no...it would probably take minutes and do an amazing job. As an electronics repair expert he should know that water doesn't work on resins.
As an electronics repair expert, he probably doesn't know all the odd and ends of plastic repair. I have seen firsthand though, the effects of a magic eraser with a small amount of dish soap and water, and they work wonders. Whether THAT would work on resins... haven't seen anyone actually try yet. My first thoughts were why he doesn't have an ultrasonic cleaner, but that may also be a reason behind not using it during the repair I'm not aware of.
Would have like to see Odd Tinkering take a crack at a full restoration on this one, just to see what technique they used to clean it.
Such a dang good video! Best of the best! 😆!
You are amazing!! Enjoyed that.
This is a video for the history books.
Glad you enjoyed it! It was very interesting to make.
@@Tronicsfix It look like it was. And I am glad that you had these moments. And if you still need that label maker person, I got you.
Lol, I definitely need a "broken stuff organizer"
