The grain of rice reference was awsome... I always wondered how precise you need to be to do those repairs. Always seems eazy when you do it, but now I know for sure this is more difficult than it looks. Great video as usual.
Those components are so small I ordered a whole roll for the hdmi capacitor and lost 3, turns out one was under my fingernail. But if you're gonna replace those components then you better order a lot
If I had a dollar for every PS5 repair where a girlfriend ran it over with her car that I've seen then I'd have $4, which isn't a lot but it's still really weird that it's happened 4 times.
She wouldn't be my girlfriend any longer after doing this. She needs to understand it's not OK to touch other people stuff and destroy whatever she likes.
@11:45 I agree Steve, like if there's a broken trace or a few broken traces under one or a couple of those chips, reflowing it could've completely severed that connection. Or if it was just cracked solder balls it could've restored it. . Your efforts were not in vain, I would've done the same thing. Great video!
Damaged PS5 aside, if I were him, that's instant break up. For whatever reason, a person has no right to destroy other people personal things. Ran it over with car? That's intentional. Save yourself from that girl, dude, next time it may be your turn to get destroyed.
@@Tronicsfix I wanna ask a question, my old ps4 disc drive doesn’t work, does that mean it needs a new chip or both a chip and the disc drive . I have the original 1100 series. I’d appreciate the reply
@@qurikymat54 I’ve taken it to a shop to replace it and they said it don’t work. It’s probably because my ps4 model disc drive and chip are paired. So if one gets replaced it won’t work.
I fixed my old PS3 controller until it was broken. If this also happened to Steve there must be some sort of universal repair anomaly affecting all of us technical types. Stay frosty my friends.
@cvr24 Looks like he have gf who is like "You have to choose me or Ps5" And of course guy choosed ps5 so gf exploded and tryed to destroy it. So definetly i would dump this kinda grazy gf.
I remember when I thought that level of soldering was impressive. Then much more recently I saw HDD Recovery Services do a microSD card repair. There were like.....10 traces that were bad and he bodged all of them. Every since one of them seem to fit into the size of a small drop of water. I can't even comprehend that.
This reminds me of the ps5 I worked on where the SO threw it on the driveway and damaged the board. This was during the time PS5 parts were rare. Angry girlfriends and consoles don't mix well.
@@scott8919 we only heard she ran over the ps5 we don't know her or his story so who knows he could be bad or she can be or maybe there both bad no way to know

Hey Steve, I have a HP Envy M7 that I have taken to various laptops for a specific repair but unfortunately none of them can figure out what's wrong. Basically, it has an option to add an additional HDD (internal). But when the 2nd HDD is connected, the computer doesn't boot up, turn on or anything. Thank you.
Hey Steve totally off topic but wondering if you can shed some light on my problem, British pal gamecube new video leads power supply and turns on but no audio or video any ideas? Btw love the channel from the UK 👍👍👍
Im here from another video, how can i take the power supply apart from the motherboad without needle nose pliers? i know for a fact the cooling thing with 3 tubes is filthy with dust but i cant get to it to clean it. the ps4 pro was all the way through covered in dust (bought it second hand) and ive followed your disassemby video up to that point n now im stuck bc i dont have the right tools! help!
i have a ps1 that my cat peed on a couple years ago, just cleaned it yesterday and its not showing a signal on any of my tvs. I havent tried turning it on before yesterday so im not sure what to do
Could yo try and find fault jbl speakers on ebay if you can and try and repair them because I would love to see if you can and so I can learn how to repair them myself
Hello Steve, I would like to know the name of that digital microscope that you are using on this video(Tried the link and it won't work). Thanks in advance.
Running over a PS5 is a felony in my neighborhood. LOL You should do video on software update file corruption errros. The last update for my PS5 keeps saying file corruption error. PS5 still works but can't update.
Re PS5 Controllers: is there a design flaw with the audio jack? My 2nd controller has lost all headphone sound tonight, my 1st one did the same last December. reset the PS5, tried other headphones, nothing no sound. I'm not buying a 3rd controller at £60 each, this is crazy!
The most concerning part for me is how he describes his partner as 'Angry girlfriend' and not 'Angry Ex-girlfriend'
She applied the perfect amount of tire pressure.
Lol
I see what you did there lol.
... to cause Emotional Damage
😂👍
😂
What do you think this guy did to make here that angry? (Also, to be clear, in his email to me he said his "angry girlfriend" not "ex-girlfriend")
Who knows, she seems unstable though.
she is angry girlfriend maybe he told her she is fat 😂
@@Super_gt87 Lol, that's a possibility
I'll be honest, if your partner is willing to destroy your property there's something wrong there
EXACTLY.
Should have read my Ex girlfriend...
100% time to re-evaluate the relationship
And they almost never leave the partner
You have to go far far away from her.
If I was him, I would also fix that relationship by getting out of it. Huge red flag if the girlfriend is willing to go this far.

Wow some people are just so messed up in the head to do this to someone else's property
Agreed. I've seen more than one of these too.
id say you could fix it
Cause they dont care
Cmon Phil fix this🥰
In Brazil, repair shops are calling these: “PS5 Divorce Edition”.

There's a problem with the title... It doesn't say "EX-girlfriend".
Any girlfriend who would do something like this to me would be an ex real quick.
I actually had that in the title until TronicsWife reminded me that he didn't say she was his ex.
@@desirecoach8096 dont think thats a valid reason for property destruction
Yup, just as I thought. About as fixable as that relationship probably is.
i see a restraining order in their future
File a police report then take her to small claims court, she would pay for the ps5 and all the court fees to.
He needs a New girlfriend with the perfect amount of self control

12:12 You can see a Solder ball escaping from the chip!
It does look like that. Could be why it didn't turn on, lol.
@@Tronicsfix why not take out the chip and do a proper reball?
@@lancelolot3.038 because he only likes easy, simple and basic fixes.....
Hope she was prosecuted. That's domestic violence in Arizona and he would be arrested if the roles were reversed.
Women, especially young ones, always get a free pass on being violent, in my experience.
5:23 I though he was about to eat some candy, but It was just an HDMI port
Lol

By making it worse, probably you were on the right track. You definitely should've reflow, or reball those chips again.
What about plugging a cooling fan in then trying to turn it on? Could have a no cooling fan protection
I think when the fan is disconnected from the main board, that may cause power shutdown.
Could you connect a good working fan and check
He is now a heatsink chiropractor? Legendary skills…
That's the worst breakup in a relationship I've seen🤣🤣

0:43 almost expected a "oh no, there goes the warranty" joke there.
I'll be honest if your partner is this crazy, it's best to change and walk away, just as advice
I love gaming and would never do this.
Not all female are like this.
This video is only telling one side of the story as well. We don't know what happened to make her angry.
Uhu
Would the fan not connected make it not power on? To prevent overheating?
Steve should do a video featuring TronicsWife assisting with the fix.
We've talked about that. Might have to give it a try.
I mean technically she did. Remember the surprise hands in one of his vids?
@@BowsettesFury Yes, that is true!
I hope the owner of this poor PS5 finds a new girlfriend that loves him - and also loves playing PS5 as much as or more than he does.

So the girlfriend gave him an ultimatum huh? Her or a broken PS5. The guy chose wisely.
This "girlfriend", is she in the room with us now?

Can you fix girlfriends that have been run over?
I might be able to bend this...thing.....Actually, that totally worked. LOL Love it.
I’m here trying to get a ps5, even though I can’t afford it and people out here driving over them….
When a couple fights, electronics are the ones suffering.
But seriously, I really hope she’s not his gf anymore.
Well hello there Tronics Friday!..good to see you! 😁
This doesn't look like a car ran over it. To me it would be more damage and smashed. I think this guy said that just to get you to fix it Steve.
Steve you are officially on a streak since you reached 1M :'k
2:06 aha i thought about the same thing as you!
The old fan from liquid damaged PS5😂
She was so happy you didn't fix this. :)
Another great video, thank you Steve !!
Run My dude,, that temper will only get worse.
I think you should plug in the fan and try to turn it in the first place..
This reminds me of the ps5 I worked on where the SO threw it on the driveway and damaged the board. This was during the time PS5 parts were rare. Angry girlfriends and consoles don't mix well.
Those girls are insane. I would never destroy someone stuff to get revange
If it is broken Steve will fix it until it is broken. Nice video the scale of the rice was a nice visual tool.
When you're reflowing solder do you run the risk of bonding two pins together if you're not directly trying to interface with the solder joints?
Rumor has it the owner of this console is now enjoying the single life, on his brand new patio.
🤣🤣🤣
Had to bury her somewhere
A thing what is really needed to fix is your relationship young man
6:22 wow this really puts things in perspective
Great video❤️ The console ones are my favourite👍🏻
You needed to bring Zack from JerryRigEvereything in to bend the heat sink. That looked really hard.
What could he have done to deserve his PS5 being smashed ? That just seems extra cruel…
On the other hand maybe he's an awful person to date. We're only hearing one side of the story.
@@scott8919 we only heard she ran over the ps5 we don't know her or his story so who knows he could be bad or she can be or maybe there both bad no way to know

I don’t need to hear the other side!
Just break up with him!

@@RobbyGoodwin What if he destroyed her PS5 first? Didn't think of that, did you? You just can't know what took place.
I would straight away break up with her. That is unforgivable.
He must of been playing Elden Ring and told his gf to cease her maidenless behavior.
A toxic relationship is sadly unfixable
"So this seems to be where we get to with a lot of these that have like been run over" somehow I'm confused as why this sentence sounds so normal. As usual, interesting content. Keep going!
If shes still his girlfriend he deserves all of it
Great Video. I love your'r content and its kinda chilly to watch them :D
12:52 *CLICKING INTENSIFIES* hahaha
Correct to the title His ANGRY Ex Girlfriend Ran Over The PS5*
In his email to me he didn't say ex.
I don’t understand how she isn’t his ex, grow a backbone lol
Great video lad keep up with the good work ps how are you doing today ☺️🙂
I wish he could fix my 3ds cause the circle pad drifts on the bottom and the left top button is jammed badly
i bet that relationship ended after that happened and wouldnt be surprised if he ends up suing her
Enjoy to watch your videos.great personality
why girls feel threatened by these machines? What if he loved reading books instead? Would she burned all the books or blind him?
Me to that guy :-
Bro you need to change your girlfriend 😂
Time to get out of that abusive relationship.

There should be a help line for PS5s to call when they're abused like this 😅
Replace the HDMI Encoder, it doesnt like heat. i needed to put 4 Different chips in one Console. then it started
Steve you can use the body of the unfixable PS5s and parts from them revive it.
Great video 👌👌👌
How many times have you try to fix consoles like this Steve
Several times. Even back when I was running my repair business I would get PS4's in that were ran over/thrown off of high places.
