I Bought 13 BROKEN PS5's - But How Many Can I Fix? I paid $550 for each PS5 in this lot of 13. I tested all the PS5's and found a variety of problems including a bad HDMI port, freezing while playing games, graphical issues, and PS5's that wouldn't turn on.

PLEASE BE AWARE: There's someone impersonating me in the comments section. Please don't contact them...they will scam you. I'm verified on KZfaq so if you see a comment from me be sure that it's my verified account. ALSO... these PS5's were bought from a retailer, then returned to the retailer and likely exchanged for another PS5. Not all PS5's are sent back to Sony...you can also take them back to the store that you bought them from. When that happens the store doesn't send them back to Sony...they sell them off as salvage.

I'm a little concerned he managed to find 13 broken ones already :). I sent my launch day back because the buzzing power supply was giving me tinnitus. Got the replacement back.. same buzzing power supply.. Total failure but as far as operation goes, they were both fine. I would guess most of the returned PS5 so far are being returned for the capacitor buzzing and actually work fine. But.. I wouldn't recommend buying one yet if you are sensitive to annoying sounds.

I appreciate the explanation of your actions. You’re right that it makes no sense to get rid of what can (sometimes) easily be fixed. Morally, you’re doing the environment a service in giving plastic and everything involved in making a PS5 a second chance at life. I think lots of people could learn a thing or two from you and your outlook on life. I imagine you don’t make much profit from fixing electronics this way, and that it’s largely time consuming. You probably rely on KZfaq and other mediums to fill your wallet, but you’re doing a good thing, and I respect that.

I'd be curious to know if the HDMI retimer chips have gone bad on the artefacting ones, or maybe the APU's need reballing because of cracked solder from a drop. It'd be cool to see you give that a try!
@mndlessdrwer 3 жыл бұрын
I can't imagine how tedious it would be to reball such a chip. I'm betting it's got over 2000 pads to get those teeny tiny solder balls onto. I doubt templates exist that would fit the pattern, so you'd either have to make one or have one made, or you'd have to manually place them. Sounds like a nightmare.
