    I Bought a PS5 on eBay - It Was Infested With ROACHES and BROKEN - Issues include both back USB ports are broken, the disc drive doesn't work correctly, and the console previously being infested with live cockroaches. So I'll have to work my way through the dead bugs to get this one working again.

      First let me explain to you that about 70% of cockroach infestations have nothing to do with the owner or their living conditions. More often than not they hitch a ride and then setup shop from somewhere else. Roaches are incredibly hardy but they don't need a dirty environment to survive. All they need is heat, moisture, and the tiniest bit of food and one egg carrying female that came out of a used appliance can start a whole infestation in your home. Moral of the story, don't buy used anything unless you can verify the condition of the internals with your own eyes.

    • @Jadebones
      @Jadebones Před 7 měsíci +3

      The "complexity" of PCBs is less about functionality or performance improvements and more about intentionally decreasing the ease of repairability for the general consumer.
      In fact some unnecessary pcb complexities split up board functions onto daughter boards, like we see in modern controllers, merely to introduce more possible fail points should a consumer attempt dismantling their devices.
      Some pcb complexities like this however, are for making a product more compact.

      Here in Brazil it's the ants that get inside electronics and ruins them.
      Some insects are attracted by the very small heat that's generated by the power that's always running while the electronics are on stand by.

      Poor people, who live in squalor, always have the newest nicest stuff. I know people that can barely pay rent and they have new phones, a new Xbox, a Nintendo switch for each kid, and a lot of other expensive stuff. I do not have roaches in my house and I'm still using my xbox one I got on release in 2013

    I can never understand how a console this new (or any console or PC for that matter) can get so dirty. I worked in a PC service a long time ago and people would bring their PCs to get them clean. There was only one that was so dirty it had rat droppings in it. I just can understand how some people store or keep their electronics.

      Age doesn't matter, everyone can get this dirty. Some people don't have lot of space on their desks or under their TV, so they have leave one of their consoles in the closet or wardrobe until they use it.

    You need a chamber that you can expose the unit to an Ozone generator. a Ozone generator converts oxygen (o2) to Ozone (o3) and it will kill any bugs that may be left alive. It will also kill the smell too.

    So I have bought my first PS five to try to bring back to life. Somebody must’ve spilled something in it that was white. Thankfully, the consul does turn on, but I couldn’t get it to read a disk. I took the drive apart, and cleaned the rollers with IPA like I’ve seen in past videos, and when I put it back together… It wouldn’t take the disc anymore.
    Did I do something wrong? Should I just buy new rollers or try to clean them again?

    It's so strange to have bugs in a console.... This summer, after years of issue and errors message, I decide to full disassembly my mother's vorwerk Bimby (around 13 years of sitting in kitchen).
    When I start to disassemble, I smell the worst mell.
    It was really really FULL of bugs EVERYWHERE.
    I start to remove all park, clean with vacuum and then spray in each board the circuit cleaning solution. And then back everything together.
    I discovered that everything star to work as the first day. So no issue, no errors nothing.
    I can't imagine that bugs can be so districting for circuit.
    Do it yourself, is more funny, and cheap

    I resurected a Xbox 360 from a flea market that had roach infestation. The trouble is they crap across the circuit traces and short out the board(s)!
    You have to put the console in a plastic bag with paper towels soaked with alcohol. The fumes will kill them. The tiny board that was for the controller was toast from the bugs. I replaced it and all was fine. The console me $9 on my original purchase. They CAN be saved sometimes.

    Hey this is a very important question. I know if anyone will be able to provide a clear answer it would be you. I recently just bought a series X. And I'm already thinking ahead for preventive measures so I put a dust cover on it.. you know just a mesh shield because my home is a lil dusty do to were I live. The area is well-ventilated plus there's a small fan running all the time. Should I be worried about the Xbox overheating in the future? Or our dust covers completely safe as long as the Xbox is well-ventilated we optimal airflow in the room

    Hello,
    I have a question about the Asus Zephyrus G14. It features an RTX 3050TI and an AMD Ryzen 9 5000 series. The problem is that the laptop has a black screen and turns on immediately after connecting the power adapter without me pressing the power button. Also, I can't turn it off when it's connected to the power cable, a boot loop happens and the screen still stays black but the keyboard light comes on. When I disconnect the power, I can turn the device on and turn it back on from the button. The keyboard backlight is on and I can hear the fan smells but the screen remains black.
    I really hope that you give me some tips on how I can fix the problem.

    Yeah I purchased an Xbox one Scorpio off of Mercari and apparently I wasn’t the 2nd person that encountered this issue where the seller refused to note in the description that it was bug infested and when I rated him I said it was bug infested and he wanted to message me saying that how do I know that the bugs caused the battery to short circuit. And I mentioned to him that I was watching a video of a professional which was u Steve and I explained that Steve explained it on how the bugs will short circuit the power supply to where it will turn on and then turn right back off. So he pretty much wanted to dismiss the claim. So yeah these sellers will fight tooth and nail claiming how do I know that this specific thing caused this issue 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️.
    Not everybody in the world is meant to have a gaming console if they refuse to take care of their household. It’s very nasty have a gaming console in a smoke environment let alone insects coming in and out of ur homes and they refuse to call a bug company to spray their homes so that these bugs won’t return.
