    BROKEN Taco Bell GOLD PS4 - The power and eject buttons didn't work and the PS4 wouldn't even power on when I tried to insert a disc so, of course, the next step was to get the console taken apart. Once I got it opened up the root problem was obvious - cockroaches! Gross! I hate cleaning up bug infested consoles but it's worth it to get this special edition PS4 working again.

    Wow, I repaired a broken PS4 once and considering the amount of things that you fixed and checked I must have been really lucky. On mine, the HDD wasn't attached correctly and needed a system reinstall, the disc drive was dented and wouldn't take a disc and the heat sink was 50% full of dust. I haven't been able to replace the disc drive, but I've fixed the other two problems and given it a bit of a clean and now I effectively have a digital PS4...
    That I've hardly used since I got a PS5. XD

    I was waiting for the gloves to come out LOL. I've cleaned some crashing PCs before from customers and found entire living colonies of roaches in side, and then of course the 100's of dead small ones and all that goes with that. It's some really nasty stuff. I've had two over the many years that were so disgusting that I told the client I am throwing it away and will just give them a newer one (low cost business class upgrades I always have on hand) in place of repairing the old one for less cost than the repair. It's obvious at that point they need it more than I do. Blech.
