I Bought 11 BROKEN PS Portals - Can I Fix Them?!

I Bought 11 BROKEN PS Portals - Can I Fix Them?! I've never worked on a PS Portal before so we'll be learning about them together. Already I know that new replacement parts aren't available which will make repairs harder - especially for damaged thumbsticks. But these are each worth about $160-180 used so hopefully I can get a good number repaired.

24:13 The "grooves" are designed so that the metal tab bends from the right place. If it was straight, without the narrow bit, the bending could happen in different spot and that's not good for tight fit. The narrowing does mean it's the weakest point and metal fatigue will be an issue in repeated openings but it's "not perfect but the best we can do" sort of thing.
@Tronicsfix 27 күн бұрын
Yep, that makes sense.
@tusux2949 26 күн бұрын
That groove is standard when bending metal. Not only it makes sure the part bends where it needs to bend but also makes the corner of the bend not stick out and sit flush. That is how you bend metal with precision. The issue is the metal they used is either sintered (cheaper but nowhere near as strong as the real deal) or the wrong type, purposely selected so that it breaks. If they used more pliable metals - like aluminium (which is plenty strong for such tiny parts) or copper (more expensive) or the right type of steel (softer, preferably Zinc coated), it would be the toughest part of that thumbstick and would never break. Hell, if they put bigger locking tabs on the side and just used plastic for the metal part, it would work as well. As it is right now, it is blatantly obvious it is a case of planned obsolescence. It gets me furious, because we get restricted from using plastic bags in grocery stores to "save the planet" but something like this will cause an otherwise perfectly working electronic device to go straight to the landfill... What a waste of a working screen, electronic components with precious metals inside and a bunch of electricity to produce all of this... All because of a tiny clip, it is ridiculous.

@@tusux2949 or if they'd just drop a shipment of those cheap metal plates on the free market, so you can just beak the tabs and replace what is realistically a max 2 cent metal plate.

First thing to that comes to mind when I think of impossible to get into are PS3 controllers and new generation iPhones. PS5 pro controller should be the standard when it comes to being able to fix our things. Just make the parts modular. I know some people aren't as tech savvy when it comes to self repair but if it was just easier to remove and replace parts that wouldn't be a problem.
@tusux2949 26 күн бұрын
@@Kakeen I'd imagine simply whispering "modular" anywhere near the vicinity of Sony HQ (or any large corpo for that matter) would be enough to get you kicked out of the door. It's a surefire way to make things repairable and last longer. It would also mean more profits for them if they sold the replacement parts but that also means more work for them and they figure it would be just as good to try to sell you another unit when yours break.. But then the question is why buy something in the first place if you know it is built to fail asap? The more they push the failure state to happen sooner, the more it will backfire in sales. This Portal case seems like it's past the " do not buy" line for me already. I was surprised by the design of the PS5 pro controller because of this. Maybe its a way for them to test the waters and see how profitable it is that way. But it also costs a lot more for us than the regular one.... I am really tired of all those mindgames already, to the point of only buying things I absolutely need and only if they are of decent quality (or the cheapest ones if the quality cannot be confirmed). The trust that products will last at least their warranty period and buying blindly is long gone.

Idk how you do it you always manage to do the impossible fixing things that seem to be unfixable and you always make it very educational and interesting I said it before your the best at what you do what you do takes a lot of patience and finance almost like an Art in what you do for a living im always like "hey a new video great!!" When you post new videos keep doing what you do stay strong and hope your recovery is going well

Device from 2023 and Sony still didn't learn that material scratching in analogs causes that it will damage over time. I know they had to cut price, but still, oh god.

Planned obsolescence. Using scraping potentiometers and sheet metal which will always break. Hall effect sticks are on the market for YEARS now and they are still not using it.

I guess their company belief is Don't make it repairable or don't make the parts available so that way they could just sell more new units.

Wow man. I was not aware of what it is you're dealing with currently. But having read some comments, I see now and want you to know you're an absolute champion for still making the content despite this temporary situation. My mother had stage three cancer in 2016 and spent a year and some change going to every chemo session with her. So I understand just how exhausting and scary it can be all at once. She was cancer free after that time and has remained ever since. I wish you the best with your treatments. You seem to be in good spirits and that's one of the most important things when it comes to your health and well-being. Especially while enduring chemo. God bless and I'll continue to watch the videos and watching your progress. Be well ❤
