Its Wild How People Could Spend $500 on a PS5 But Not Pest Control.
That but then again people who tend to have problems with bugs means their house is dirty or have something else going on that lures the bugs in both cases screams human error.
My office is dirty but dry, mostly its dust and bunch of materials, tech etc hoarded up but no food residue so I have zero bugs here. Meanwhile my mother's and grandfathers house right next to mine (we are neighbors) they have roaches and ants. They always make a mess and sometimes dont clean up properly, there is ALWAYS food on the table in all rooms or gooey stuff around the trash can in the kitchen. No wonder ... It's enough to invite the bugs in.
OR this PS5 was found in a bin. Sun was shining on it making it hot so the bugs made it their new home. Considering that the disc drive plastic was almost melted I'd say chances are this was baking in the sun on a trash pile or just inside a bin baking it in ...
Some shops would charge tons of money for a repair so people suck it up and buy a new unit.
After all. This is how trash Nintendo and Microsoft products keep selling in the west too. People are hooked and cant or wont pay repair fees rather buy new units and those always break. No wonder why the landfill is full of them ...
No Robert Link
Same im looking for it also
@@elizabethbruen6833 Me too, i kept replaying it to make sure i wasnt missing something
Robert said F K THIS S T and never touched this XD
I know this was filmed before but glad to see you on the road to recovery. Good people shouldn’t have to experience that
Hey folks, not trying to complain but these longs aren't as 'long' as they can be! Like for example you guys cut out parts of Steve removing the ports. I know that may seem like it's boring to some folks but this stuff is like ASMR to the rest of us and we expect it in these longs. Would be great if you didn't cut out sections like soldering/hot air. Thank you, your channel is my favorite on RUclips.
Thanks for the feedback. Some of these were made before I started filming more of what I"m doing. We make them as long as we can while still making sense and not showing me removing every screw in real time.
I hear you though and will continue to try to remember to film as much as possible of what I'm doing. Thanks again for your feedback.
@@TronicsFixLongsI got a vcr once that had the same thing I gave up on it I felt it was to far gone and not worth. Risking my house .
Actual feedback and no hate 😮😮😮
Soldering and hot air are my favorites 😅
I agree whit u specially wen people are try to fix there own consoles they will wan to know each of the step too uknow not just see u fixing stuff thas not the point of the people who really watch it the point is to learn how to do it them self tho smh
I just finished cleaning mine thanks for showing me.. keep up the good work...
Great video I’m too scared to open my ps5! I hope you’re starting to recover, I can’t imagine what you’re going through.
By cockroach guts, he means the stuff that went through their guts. AKA CRS.
Lol, yep
thanks bro, great vid!
Robert the restorer link please? 🙏🏻
Hey here's a pro tip for ya when dealing with the liquid metal around the apu die. Use a cotton swab doused in alcohol and use it to "sweep" up the liquid metal into a ball u can reclaim 99 percent of it this way and just push it back on to the die then spread with clean Qtip. Cheers man I love your videos! I manage a huge repair shop/pc store in canada andy guys use your videos often to find faults and solutions. Thank you for everything you do!
The roach at 3:30 went so quick, that I'd fear it was alive..
Bros a video game doctor for video game consoles.
Lol
I worked in the Pest Control Industry for 17years. I SMELLED that PS5 through the tv!!!
Lol, most underrated comment ever
I did and still do sometimes tech restorations and yeah I smelled it too ... its tattooed into my brain. The things I seen and got in the mail it's all beyond words.
I dont have PTSD from the wars, I have PTSD from these dirty things rather ...
You look good, steve, god bless you
I've got PTSD from my days working at gamestop about bug infested consoles.
Yep, I have it from my years running a repair shop.
That's disgustingly fascinating.
Also, it is why I stopped buying used consoles from GameStop...filthy and broken were norms. (So, now I get filthy and broken consoles from pawn shops 😂🤣😂.)
I work on them because I can charge more money for roached out consoles
That’s crazy this is even a common thing.
You getting better? Congratulations!
I’m assuming the Xbox Series X/S would have the same cockroach problem if not properly kept neat and clean. It’s not just a Sony problem.
In my pawnbroking days we'd call them Junkiestations.
Good to see you back with hair
I just noticed 😮
Pretty sure this was before he lost his hair
This was filmed before I lost my hair but it is starting to come back in
@@TronicsFixLongs good to hear man. Love your channel 👍🏻
@@TronicsFixLongs awesome to hear that
I imagine this is probably a logistical nightmare, but it would be cool if you could put equipment settings on the screen when you use them. When soldering you could show the iron temperature settings, or when using the heat gun you could show the flow rate and temperature, etc.
lol I thought that the case was a neat green marble look. Little did I know it was the wrap :)
All your hair grew back 👍
This was filmed before I lost my hair but it is starting to come back in
Man, I’m so glad I only had to deal with roaches as a child…
Literally could smell this console. Worked too many years on roach infested consoles.
I replaced my metal liquid with thermal mx6 paste and I have exactly the same temp as before so the metal liquid if you don't have it the paste does the job very very well
I always keep a vacuum on hand for this very reason. I opened up a PS3 a few weeks ago that was so so much worse
Yeah, they definitely get a lot worse than this
@@TronicsFixLongs The board was done for
Missed to check the power supply for dead insects
Unpopular opinion.... the green plastic wrap looks better than the boring white, you should totally put a green plate on it
11:10 maybe Microsoft was smart about using thermal paste
A new experience :)
Where can i find the restoration video link bro ?
lmao did you really send it! hahahah
No way the seller cleaned it
hey @tronicsFix hope you are doing well bud. i love your videos. glad to see your hair is growing back nicely and congrats again on remission! keep it up bud!
come on Steve no guts no glory on those tools
Maybe the liquid damage is from roach spray.
Wouldn’t touch that even if it was soaked in bleach for a month.
I get roaches in my apartment all the time. Usually dead when i see them, never in my consoles thankfully. Also have a guy that comes buy and sprays. Doesnt help living near woods
Hope you have a can of "Raid" at hand!! WD Black SSD?! Oh yeah!!
I imagine this happening at a dinner table when you're starting out lol
When your using the liquid metal you could be releasing the t1000 terminator
You should really vacuum up the loose bugs as u go
You called the USB ports HDMI ports in the beginning of the video 🙂
I didn't knew that the PS5 had 2 HDMI Ports (1:40) :D
I shouldn't have eaten just before watching!
Lol, yeah, bad idea
😂
I've had a launch day original PS5 from new.. I use it all the time with no problems, but would you suggest renewing the liquid metal anyway?
This console was a recent addition to the world. Imaging the inside of the house that this ps5 came from. Roach guts all over the newer ps5 means the house must be extremely infested.
I grabbed some old toys out the trash that were still in box. Man what a mistake. Beware bringing roaches into your home by mistake. Freeze or dryer anything you are unsure of bugs. Beware
"TWO HDMI ports'"
sir, these are USBs...
It would be quiet strange if this PS5 was infested with dead cockroaches!
5:49 I thought the rolling screw was an insect🙂
Some one had to scream u forgot the SSD
Pest Station 5 rated as warm and cozy on Air BNB by the Roach family.
Alternatively WEF-aprouved bug snacks.
I dont get how people, that live in conditions where they're surrounded by cockroaches, can afford such expensive things like a PS5 or apple macbooks.
Always use fresh liquid metal!! do not recycle
43 TOTALLY NECESSARY small screws!
It’s amazing that people have 500 plus dollars for a console but won’t pay to get rid of roaches . But that’s becoming normal now
It's my biggest fear bringing home a used console filled with cockroaches
How to people live like that
1:40 USB ^^
Free protein! And a PS5? What a bargain!
The way people treat their 500-600$ consoles is disgusting. If my kids ever treated their stuff like this I would never buy them anything again and they know it. The problem is parents think that giving stuff to their kids, that they buy on credit, is a substitute for good advice and proper parenting. I make my kids put some money towards the things they want and now they're mid teens they come to work with me a couple of mornings a week so they learn the value of money and just how long it takes to earn. They then appreciate that tech doesn't just drop through the letterbox and that it costs a lot of money!!!!!
Do you sell refurbished ps5
Hehe those black specs are usually 'roach doings aka "no 2's" and something you really really don't want to be breathin' in any time soon m8
i watched the other video of the cleaning like 9 months ago lol
I dunno how people can live in such filth that their PS5 gets like that.
No problem with having your PS5 vertical, is there.
I must have missed it, but why do you have 2 identical channels?
Anyway, I always watch your channel :)
They aren’t identical. This channel is for longer videos to show more of the repair process to those interested. The other channel is the main one and posts more condensed versions of these repairs
@@phoenragon Thank you
This honestly makes you wonder why someone would live in such filthy conditions yet have money to spend on a new console... lol. I'd be wearing a respirator personally to work on that system.
Probably stolen . But yeah your logic is correct
I think that liquid sticky damage is bug piss 😂😂. Back in the early 2000's when i used to chip consoles for folds i would get some consoles that had hundreds of dead roaches in them like it would fill up my work table just disgusting.
1:93 didn't know ps5 had 3 hdmi 😅😂
It's the new thing :P
is it just me or is the cleaning video link missing ?? I'm intrigue to see that video
Another one!?!? 😂
This PS5 probably came from New York City😂
Great comment xD
I dont get how people bust up the ports so badly
I have one of the early release PS5 works great still I regularly clean dust from fan but like you mentioned in the video do you think I should check liquid metal
It all comes down to how much use you get from the console. Are we talking 2-4 hours daily or mainly on the weekends? It's not gonna hurt anything to check, just as long as you're familiar with liquid metal. Using a cotton swab with 97%-99% IPA to grab most of the liquid metal will be great. That way, you can reapply it evenly.
@@dcolb16 I don't play alot but when I do I'll probably constantly using it for at least 12hr straight when I'm off work
@@Premiumizer123 I'd recommend taking it apart to clean it, considering it's a launch PS5. Liquid metal isn't too expensive
How do so many hdmi ports get ruined? I've had the same xbox for almost 20 years and never had a single issue with it, hdmi or otherwise.
Eat the bugs :D
Just how?
Shouldnt the clean come before the fix?
I don't understand people who have roaches in they home
Pleased we don't suffer roach issues in the UK like that ;)
NO LINK ON VIDEO?
Dude how do people get their consoles in these conditions?
How the hell does a console get in this shape?😂😂
Hopefully the hair means you are on the mend
This was actually filmed before he lost his hair, but thankfully he *is* on the mend!
No one would blame you for just hitting it with a flamethrower. Yeah, it would be a short video, but literally none of us would blame you.
I can only imagine what these people's houses look like to have an infestation in their consoles. 😂🤢🤮
I don't understand how people mess up these HDMI / USB ports. I buy one bring it home and plug it in once maybe twice. Is there a game that involves repeatedly unplugging and re plugging that HDMI / USB ports?
Bro has hair on his head now
old video
Dude with all respect don't want to see inside the house where it came from.
1:40 bro they are not hdmi they are usb😂😂
i feel like this video is the same video of another that was uploaded a while back.
it is.
What does it say about a person who lives in a roach infested environment, yet can afford to spend their money on a $600 console?
@tronicsfix is it possible to change the rear usb to type c
Hmmm...I'm not sure. It might be possible but I don't think it would be easy.
@@TronicsFixLongs Wiring would be easy enough, mounting it would be a PITA though
rember wen a consol last 25+ years ps5 last max 2
Steve I hope your repair shop isn’t in your home sir!
I posted before you said your wife wasn’t happy with the ps4’s lol
If u dont know why, do not mess with it!!
How does someone let their console get so bad crazy
Fortunately i have never seen a roach anywhere that i have lived. Im from Finland but now live in Sweden. They say that there are some roaches here but i have never seen one.
Most common bugs that you may see inside your home are spiders, ants, flyes, bees and mosquitos.
I will never understand how some people can be this filthy. I’ve had friends in the past and their “setups” were just shocking how dirty people can be.
