The only thing that bothers me is that you didn't solder a new connector for the fan and solder the wires directly to the board, but you did a great job of restoring it.
My blood pressure drops 10 points watching your videos. Pure ASMR. Attention to detail and meticulous cleanup and repair is so soothing and educational.
I myself have a goddamn cat even he loses but never got the hair on the console i clean it everyday don't where the fuck does there money grow im telling it was kid who owned this previously
Ah yes super glue and electrical contacts, works perfectly for me everytime. Also may I suggest a detailing brush for all the little crevices, works way better than tooth brush.
This reminded me of a dude I bought a not working car off of. It wasn't starting and he wanted 100 above scrap value. He didn't know what was wrong with it and refused to let me take it to a mechanic to see if it was worth my time, wouldn't let me see I the engine bay because "it's a $400 stop wasting my time" I couldn't see any oil leak and it had been sitting for 3 weeks so I bought it. The seats by themselves would have gotten me my money back, and the panels were dentless. When he signed all the paperwork and said "have fun" I called my cousin to bring his tow truck and looked inside the engine bay, his wife came out and told me that the car randomly cut out and she took it to her mechanic who said the wiring harness was rusted and it was gonna be a 5k fix (This doesn't make sense) so I looked at the battery and it was loose, I tightened it and jump started it. He came out cussed me out and demanded more money, I explained to him I might have considered telling him his mechanic was a scum bag if he told me what they thought the issue was. He didn't say what it was, and in the ad it said he just couldn't get it started suddenly. I may even have tightened the one screw and put cardboard under the battery for him to take it for a test drive. I would have been considerate if he wasn't so rude and abrupt, wouldn't even let me look at the engine. I probably wouldn't have bought the car if I knew the oil sump plug was stuck on with silicone. His daughter was thick tho I wish I could do that with my ps4. I didn't know they had these issues and bought one off of a dude, it turned on and I played Minecraft and Netflix for 5 mins. Now I can't even get God of war started
Definitely wasn't expecting this quality video from a channel with only 18k subscribers! Great work, you deserve way more subscribers! And cute doggo at the end! 😁
Great video loved the restoration I also loved the bit at the end with the doggo😂 I liked and subscribed hope to see more like this in the future keep up the great work
Wow, I can't imagine the total hours it took you to clean and fix all of that. Good job. I would have given up on that disc drive, so difficult to clean all those little grooves and holes. I also really like the look of the white fat PS4.
You do great work man, thanks for content. Keep up the good work, it's very informative! I loved the dog piece at that end! That was cool! All respect coming all the way from Harlem, New York.
I bought a fat ps4 with the hdmi connector ripped off. I managed to repair it by buying a new connector and soldering it, on the other hand I realized that there was no more wifi antenna. At the beginning, I had put a wifi antenna from ps3 fat then I decided to install a wifi antenna from a laptop pc because it is much thinner and since then, it works very well. Thank you for your very informative video.
"Smells like cigarettes and aftershave" greatest description we all have a clear image of previous owner add in the stickers and the image is complete lol
Oh and love your video's guy. Glad to see people take their time and do a professional clean up and the console! Do you have any videos of your worst consoles lol?! That i would love to see
I always think of myself as a filthy animal that don't care about my electronics then come across this type of videos then I start cleaning every single one I have lol
You know, The thingy behind the PS4 is the Wi-Fi Antenna I guess | On Hotspot, it can only Receive on Mobile, it receives 400Mbs Per Signal. Lots of Parts have been misplaced from the Unit. Caked up with some dust and other. Missing a hard drive, You could try to get a 1TB Hard Drive. More Space for the PS4. NOTE: I own a PS4. No problems, Good life, and had 1 or 2 Issues. Power Startup. Like, When a power outage strikes, you get a Power Warning.
5 years of having my ps4 and never cleaned it-Im supprised its its going.Not going to clean it myself bc i wouldnt know what to do.A quick moment of silence for my ps4 for still going after all this time.
😁 hehe. I was then worried that some people wouldn't know that ODD meant, and thought I was saying it's an odd bracket. I messed up the timing of the HDD, as the text appears before the clip starts.
It's a good video, but what about the fan circuits? Do u have to unsolder and solder it each time trying to clean it? Can u have a replacement for that part? I'm sorry but it really bothers me
Yes you would need to desolder it to disassemble it. I should've searched for a replacement fan connector, but most users are not taking their console apart, so thought it wasn't necessary.
Lovely video to watch, great detail and brilliant job on something previously owned by an utter cretin who didn't look after it, robbed parts and sold on as "fan not working".
I've had my PS4 Pro for 3 years, i have sold it just like it came in the box , not a scratch or dust particle in or on it ! how can people be so dirty? they dont deserve such consoles !!!
I have a coal fire in my house and it makes a lot of dust sometimes it’s impossible to not get dust in them. I’ve had 2 open mine up a few times as it sucks in so much dust but I’ve owned it years and it still runs great with no overheating
Really awesome job buddy. I couldn't have done better myself. ( No really I couldn't have ) . My patience and attention span won't last that long. I would have got bored with it and set it aside for the next day are 2 . I can do some minor cleaning and stuff like that but to sit down and really get into the wiring and all that good stuff and soldering and stuff I just don't have I don't have the patience. Again really awesome cool job. 😀👍
Hahaha that's a horror story. I did quite like the stickers on top ☺️Good work. If you gently pull the impeller of the fan up, does it lift away from the base? A lot of laptops have fans of that style, and I've found it really useful for cleaning them. Hope that helps (you clearly know what you're doing, I only learnt that trick myself recently).
This was like a resuscitating a dead man with organs missing. Mad respect for resurrecting this unit.
Haha thanks 😄

Bruh This dude brought a PS4 from the fallout universe
I have one on 5.05 that had a nest of roaches inside before apparantly being just put out in the rain. Its rusty as hell, and still smells pretty bad.
Epic Win🤣
Dumb comment this would be a gold mine if you found this in fallout fallout is in Apocalypse a nuclear apocalypse
Wow that console was FILTHY! Great job getting it running again.
SPOILER ALERT!!
Putting a sticker will not have the ps4 to work? And it leaves marks on it
22:41 a professional.... 🤗🤗🤗🐕🐕
😄 he got some nice treats for that 🐕
I just don't understand how people can be so damn neglectful and careless!
I treat my PS4 like a princess!
A moment of silence for all the ps5’s that people won’t keep clean
Facts then they wonder why their console gets loud 🤣
Ps5 is more difficult
@@alipetuniashow not hard to keep clean tho
@@alexisblanco6088 or you could just put it in a room with an air purifier
Don't you mean scalpers won't keep clean?
The old owner must have been a barbarian, cat hair and various crap everywhere even where a sane mind would never imagine!
I can understand cat hair or dog hairs in the system. But the fact that it was dirty with more than that on the inside was bad
I myself have a goddamn cat even he loses but never got the hair on the console i clean it everyday don't where the fuck does there money grow im telling it was kid who owned this previously
methhead
They literally tried to super glue electrical wires
@@oodfty3740 but super glue is SUPER conductive 😉
Excellent restoration! I really liked the process, good job! I enjoyed it very much! Greetings from Uruguay!
Thankyou! 😄
🥵🥵
@@elgringoxd8276 u good?
Should have put the whole shell in the sink
@@RestoreTechnique Is not a Repair
Ah yes super glue and electrical contacts, works perfectly for me everytime. Also may I suggest a detailing brush for all the little crevices, works way better than tooth brush.
Thanks, I will get some 👍
@@RestoreTechnique did you put a hard drive in it?
@@triggerguy8405 Yes I did
@@triggerguy8405 did you not watch the video?
@@MrJamesstott From what I saw Actually I don't think he did. He only put that 4 GB thing in it so it can run. But he did because Crash worked.
This was so much better than i expected - really well lit, filmed and edited and a great restoration! 🥇
Watching you disassemble the device piece by piece is such a pleasure....and fixing it ,is just another story.
Great job.🙌

Definitely wasn't expecting this quality video from a channel with only 18k subscribers! Great work, you deserve way more subscribers! And cute doggo at the end! 😁
Thanks so much 😄
Im glad you got this and fixed it. Much more respect than its previous owner.
Thanks 🙂
I admire your patience 🙌
Thanks 😄
Awww. Using your dog as a product tester… I love that
😀
So I was unlogged, but when I saw the professional smell checker I just logged and smashed the thumbs up!
Super glue as thermal paste very innovative
Fantastic job man! That PS4 surely is in the right hands now 👍🏻
I have a dog and my PS4 is clean as a whistle the previous owner was a jerk
Yooo. This channel is actually pretty legit. Keep it up bro
loved seeing that professional at the end
I would use gloves. That thing is gross.
No wonder why new diseases pop out of nowhere 😂
That is one filthy PS4 it's good to see time and effort to restore it
Great job! I wish I was smart like you to do something like that. You’re the man!
Great video loved the restoration I also loved the bit at the end with the doggo😂 I liked and subscribed hope to see more like this in the future keep up the great work
Awesome, thanks heaps 😄
Great vid dude. Your editing and quips were on par too. Great job!
Thanks! 😊
I wish I can learn to do these type of things, I don’t think I’m delicate enough . Beautiful restoration.
Thanks Beardman!

Just came across this video and you sir deserve my subscription.
Made me wait to can my own ps4 and xbox out lol thank you for the video
Thankyou!
I appreciate the help of the professional!
I'm from Mexico and I liked your content, greetings :)
You could buy an ssd drive to make faster loadings and smoother gameplay. Very nice restoration!

Can tell the dude has smarts and some good tech skill. I love watching these kinds of videos! 😎
Try paint thinner for the super glue next time. Shouldn’t be a problem with the motherboard.
🙂👍
This was great I'm trying to learn how to work on this kind of stuff.
The dog at the end made me subscribe
😄👍

Any moment now... he's coming...
Who's coming?
The Ducktor!
Oh sorry, wrong channel!
😂🤣 the doctor was wating for him too
The hardest part was to discover the drive disk problem
You know you're a professional when you have a dog assistant that checks if your gear smells of cigarettes
Not a restoration. This was a miracle revival
idk how a Acid container looks like but i think this fits the description
That fan connector left me feeling a little dead inside. It was so sad to see it in that state.
5 years of having my ps4 and never cleaned it-Im supprised its its going.Not going to clean it myself bc i wouldnt know what to do.A quick moment of silence for my ps4 for still going after all this time.
My Ps4 slim have 3 years and hes still working properly

Silence... 😶
you get 2 likes, 1 for the great video itself and 1 for your lovely doggo!
That PlayStation was very grateful it met you that day
I hate how the fan is set up in the ps4. Once it overheats you are expected to become a tech wizard to clean it
Master surgeon at work here
You brought that back to life! Can you do the same with my financial life?
I love it, the replacement parts.... "thingy"
😁 hehe. I was then worried that some people wouldn't know that ODD meant, and thought I was saying it's an odd bracket.
I messed up the timing of the HDD, as the text appears before the clip starts.
Great restoration, was actually looking forward to seeing how much gunk was in it 😂
Haha, thanks
Beautiful work. I'm subscribed now and enjoying all of your wonderful videos.
Cheers!
More restorations like this please
Amazing work this was super interesting to watch!!! Lol gotta love a classic 😌
Love the professional sniffer.
At least there were no roaches in that thing. Good work!
There probably was when they first opened it up to attempt their "repair"
What a work well done,i enjoyed every minute of this video!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thankyou!!
This video is soooooo satisfying.
Congrats bro!
The Pharoah sticker is the only one I would reapply after cleaning case.

@@RestoreTechnique thank u for the response and transparency
That ASMR restoration sounds though
When he opened it up at first I thought “yeah that’s way past the old rubbing alcohol treatment”, then he started washing the plastic in the tub 😂
cigarettes and aftershave... yuk. awesome video lol
Good job! Man, I love restoration videos
They tried to glue the cables back on 😂😂😂
Wow this dude only has almost 1k subs he deserves way more bro
Thanks so much. I actually only had 65 subs until I posted the PS5 Teardown Video haha

Well done sir! Very satisfying to watch. Actually it helped me fix my nephews ps4, same sort of issue with the fan so thank you for this :)
This is legit how I maintenance my ps4 and it be so nice and quiet😁
I laughed when the dog gave his approval :)
That's amazing. Taking apart even the inner parts surely requires a lot of expertise. How do you know your way around the hardware so well?
Google
Hahaha that's a horror story. I did quite like the stickers on top ☺️Good work.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure, I will try it next time :)
Melted plastic is a great electrical conductor, use it all the time
Watching restorations of game systems n such is amazing to me cause at first it seems impossible but it's not
if u see a lot of stickers on top, thats a really bad diagnosis!! amazing restoration!
Haha thanks ☺
That’s fucking amazing, I love that I also learn from these subconsciously
Thanks dude 😃
"But is the smell gone?" "I called in a professional to check." *Dog sniffs*
🐕😀👍
good job man !
love ur videos
Thanks man 😀
Damn Bro this is so Relaxing to watch, i like this Content. Thumbs up
Great job! Your smell professional is adorable.
