Cockroach PS5 LONG - This PS5 was once infested with LIVE cockroaches! Repairing such a device is definitely not for the faint of heart. Let's take a look inside and see what damage they have done, and if we can get it working again.

Its Wild How People Could Spend $500 on a PS5 But Not Pest Control.

@minmogrovingstrongandhealthy 6 күн бұрын

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 ...

If you're living in an apartment complex that isn't keeping up with their own pest control and your neighbors get an infestation, odds are they're going to find their way into your shit too. Not in all cases, of course, because sometimes it IS just a cleanliness issue, but there are plenty of other scenarios that could lead to this that don't reflect badly upon the owner by default. It's why it's usually better not to make assumptions about the situations of strangers.

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 KZfaq.

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!

You can be clean and still have roaches. In the previous apartments I lived in I was on the 2nd floor and the people on the first floor were human trash cans. Their unit became so infested the roaches went up into my unit and invaded. Went on for months and months until pest control inspected my unit, downstairs and the two adjacent units and found the human trash cans downstairs.

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!!!!!

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.
