- I Bought a PALLET of BROKEN PS4's - How Many Can I Fix? I paid $2,387 for a pallet of 22 broken PS4's. There ended up being 15 PS4 Originals, 4 PS4 Slims, and 3 PS4 Pros. I started with fixing the PS4 originals first and had amazing luck with them. I did some cleaning and removed something stuck in a disc drive but no serious problems. The Slims needed more repairs such as a glitching display, a disc drive that wouldn't accept a disc, and a broken eject button. The 3 PS4 Pros were also mostly working fine except for a disc drive that wouldn't accept a disc.

About This Video: I bought a salvage lot of 22 broken PS4s to see how many I could fix. The 15 PS4 originals were mostly working already with only a few minor fixes and cleaning needed. The PS4 Slims and Pros got a little more tricky thought with some disc drive issues, a broken eject button, and a crazy glitching display problem. Overall a pretty good lot. I only wish they all were this good.

Plot twist, the guy who sold these to you had a broken hdmi port on his tv.
Lol yh probably
more like a bad hdmi cable.
My girlfriend literally thinks that way. She had a fire stick that didnt work so she replaced the whole TV
Not gonna lie, I used to have a 70" flat screen. It started having problems with the picture going in and out. I sent that fkn thing in to get serviced 3 times!! Turns out nothing was wrong with the TV at all. It was the g.d. HDMI cable 🤦♂️
@@beardomcgee5005 its amazing what kind of hassle good troubleshooting will save you. 3 times? Maybe try something else the second time. Or ENSURE THAT ITS THE TV?

You just may, give it 3 or 4 years.
Just from an environmental point of view it is insane how many near perfect consoles are just thrown away like this.
Imagine buying a pallet of PS4's and returning them, when they ask you what the problem is you tell them, "They were supposed to be broken and almost all of them were completely fine."
That's cos Sony customers are the dumbest of the console gamers. You don't find as many idiots buying Xbox or Nintendo products. Sony caters to the lowest form of unintellectuals.

This is one of the most hilarious videos I have ever seen in the history of TH-cam. A guy just gave his PS4 away as broken because of a free pizza card.
He lost twice.
PS4 is worthless anyway.

yeah his too skillful enough makes boring.
Maybe on the pizza coupon part he did
He technically could ask for a refund since he wanted a whole pallet of broken consoles not a pallet of "find the broken one"...
Yeah all that extra work and effort it took to find the broken ones.

What do you quess when does he find the first one? :D
I am excited to see that video.

Still binge watching your videos so keep up the good work :D
Wow take you long to think about that one ?? Lmao
@@ImaginationToForm True
In a couple of months his new video is going to be *”I Bought a PALLET of BROKEN PS5’s”*
Considering the size, the pallet of broken PS5s would be 3 pieces.
What do you guy think of the PS5
Then he will make a ton of money. Because lets face it, some people have simple problems they could have fixed themselves.
Tomasz Najda just wait I’m sure they will have some sort of problem at launch
impossible because scalpers will be hoarding PS5 stock for a year
You always say "I will run more tests off camera because no one wants to see that"
I would actually like to see a video on how to fully test a console and I think it would help thousands of people who just bought an used console and need to check every functionality... Think about it ;)
Ditto, other consoles too please
Maybe it is just his way of not revealing trade secrets
Some live fixing would be fine too
Yeah, like I just answered to somebody else, I always wondered if he tests Nintendo Switch in docks. I’m pretty sure he never found one that had no video output while everything else was fine. But if I look online, it seems to be a frequent issue with people that used bad docks / chargers. I’m wondering if some not broken Switch had in fact no video output.
Honestly, it'd make for a cool video series.
And that way people could fully test the refurbished units they buy, so an unknown issue that they don't know how to look for, doesn't suddenly bite them in the ass.

@@Tronicsfix I can't open the link to win a ps 4 because i am from other country..what I can do to win one ?
Who's that seller? I'd really like to buy from him a "broken" ps4. Although, those might be stolen ps4s , that's why they are listed as broken while almost completely fine.
No, actually these sellers intentionally list some of them as broke to attract people who think they can fix them which can help to get rid of them quickly
The issue more is broken may not be immediate under longer term use.
Powering on, starting a game, playing for a little bit wont reveal problems that happen after a few hours such as heat expansion.
Good theory
Yep,the problem appear when the ps 4 turned on for 3 hours, then turn that off for 1 hour , then turn that on again , if the ps 4 working perfectly , you're so luck,
It doesn’t matter. If they’ve made it this far they have quit looking for stolen stuff already.
I think it’s worth warning people that this is not ‘typical’ when buying broken items on eBay. Generally the items you buy as lots that are ‘broken’ are much more likely to be unrepairable. If genuine this was a fairly fortunate purchase. And even so with no pads and no leads there is not a huge profit to be made selling these.
Great vid tho love your stuff!
You got the lazy tech's lot. Just marked everything in his pile as bad and took a nap for the day.
I was thinking the same.
Edit: I know it’s strange, but hope the guy gets reported.

The mod pizza gift card being stuck in the disk drive had me dying 😂
I had the same problem with a 5€ bill in my radio cd player in the car. XD
I swear
Just put the coupon in, get free pizza. Must of been stoned lol
It must’ve been under a disc and they did not notice the card going in it
Imagine a 100 dollar bill stuck in there, that would be a find!
“It’ll be an hour long video and no one wants to see that” how you underestimate us, Steve
How dirty does your home have to be to have that many roaches die inside your console!?! Disgusting.
Nothing related with dirty home .Cockroaches search for warm spot because they like warm place where to live .You can have the cleanest house and a coackroch coming from the garden ..
@@supermillothebest But if you have a clean home you will notice them right away and it will never be an infestation.
24:35 for anyone that's not a fan of roaches. One appears on the left between shots, so he must have opened the bottom and then plopped it back on.
one thing comes to mind: dirty drug dealer's house
someone doesn't understand how the rest of the world lives..... Not everyone lives in a great place where there are no bugs

I like to just think the owner just got drunk enough to think that it would actually work
In some countries including mine. If you return a product in an opened box the shop can not legally sell it as new anymore. So depending on how the company deals with customer returns, when it says "broken/refurbished" It could just be a brand new fully working customer returned device. Some companies simply get rid of all customer returns as broken without even checking it. While other companies send all their customer returns to a refurbisher.
Imagine selling the broken ps4 then seeing this video “well f***”
You win the ps4 in a give away “welp”
Am I the only one who wants to see him go into a PS5?

More like "My gf gently placed my PS4 in the bin" pack. :)
“This would be an hour long video and no one wants that” uhmmm.... I want that 😬
Me too
Yeah I would like at least one FULL test with all the little things. I’m not asking it on all of them, but one would be nice.
Like taking the time to check Bluetooth and WiFi, all the USB ports and the Ethernet port. Maybe even loading a game like Tomb Raider which is really GPU intensive even on the menu, so you can let it sit for a while and see how it reacts when it heats up (but I know that he doesn’t do that test on all consoles, it would be too long).
Same thing on the Switch. I know that he checks plugged Joycons and unplugged Joycons and that he checks the touchscreen and the card reader, but it would be nice to see a full checkup, including stuff like the headphone jack and the SD card reader. OH AND A BIG ONE THAT HE NEVER SEEMS TO LOOK FOR ON THE SWITCH : if it works in a dock. Using a Switch on a bad dock sometimes doesn’t prevent it from charging, but stop it from outputting video from the USB C port.
@@cedricpomerleau5586 Like all of the offscreen testing he does.

The person who sold this lot must be kicking themselves they didn’t get a better price for these ‘broken’ PS4s.
Best I can figure is that they were trade in, and they didn't want to bother with testing them. List them all as broken so they don't have to be liable for listing descriptions.

@Dez YES! Thank you for chiming in. I've found that probably 99% of people who comment on prices don't actually know what stuff is worth. Nice to see someone in here who does this for a living.
Having just gotten into this as a hobbie. Would love to see some videos as a sort of "how to", just an idea would be hard I imagine considering not every system will have the same issues, you do do a good job in showing how you trouble shoot. Awesome videos man, addicted to watching your console restorations!
Probably the least sentence I've ever heard: Why is none of those broken? Unfortunately I can't win a PS4, but watching your videos makes it worth anyways.

Number 16 might just have defective RAM, so you should try reflowing/replacing the RAM chips. Only the 3D layer looks broken, while the text looks fine, so it's probably not the HDMI encoder or port. In fact, it looks like a PC graphics card with broken or excessivelly-overclocked VRAM (which can cause data corruption and confuse the GPU, so it renders garbage).

Enjoyed watching 21 PS4 games systems get saved and hopefully get adopted into good homes. I am looking to adopt one for myself.

I thought it was a joke when I saw the pizza coupon. I thought he was going to say that he magically inserted a card there for fun. It's funny how the smallest things can make a system unusable.

It is absolutely insane to me how some individuals will let their consoles collect dust like an antique shelf. Even when I was a kid I treated it like I was constantly handling a fragile glass sculpture.
9:46 "I will do those tests off-camera because otherwise it would be an hour long video and nobody wants to see that."
Says who? I would happily watch you fix these things quietly for an hour. Just put it on a second channel, I think there would be people that would love longer vids!
he will probably stress test them using the horizon since it's pretty heavy game, and he will let them run for an hour so he can see if any crashes. That's what he is going to do.
You can however fireup horizon on your ps4, and let it sit for an hour and enjoy the experience.

Perfect amount of thermal paste

Thank christ I am not the only one who noticed. That was horrifying.
Since there is no IHS, its a appropriate amount. As not putting enough on a bare die may lead to a dead unit. It has to be fully covered.
@@fatherchaos8967 It's still a lot. Needed to be at least twice as less
@@torpediq61 do you mean half? Twice as less????
Nintendo also does a similar thing with the switch. Applying large amounts of thermal paste is probably a console thing.

This Channel is literally the reason I went into Electrical Engineering
A rough life is ahead of you, ready yourself.
@@adrianm.9595 why?
Brandon Bull as someone that majored in EE, you can do it!
@@PSOnoni How bad/good was it?
@@ghaithnajim9701 Sorry for the late reply. I will break it up! I hope this helps anyone else that is interested. Sorry for the wall of text.
Good
Interesting classes. Smart classmates. Easy to get a job with an EE degree. There are A LOT of focuses to jump into. Personally, I am not a fan of power generation and transmission. I lean more into electrical design for small circuits. Learning EE, you can easily transfer concepts to other areas although most of engineering you can say that. A lot of hands on work soldering, using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, wiring things in the breadboard, etc.
Bad
A lot of studying. This isn't high school algebra where you can waltz in and get an A. The abstract concepts in EE can be hard for some people to grasp. The homework can be very long to finish. It is hard to conceptualize the "right" answer at first. There is a lot of misinformation online to find learning material. A lot of people drop out so your freshman class is a lot bigger than your senior class (I went to a small college so there were easily over 100 students in EE then I graduated with 6). There aren't a lot of experts around to help with EE so you have to rely on the professors heavily and they better be good ones. Might be just my school but I found Junior/Senior year is when you get hit with the heavy stuff. Freshman is all basic courses for the college and your class. Sophomore gets a little trickier and more focused but not too shabby.
Neutral
You have to be pretty good at math or at the very least, proficient. If you are uncomfortable with multiple variables, long equations, differential equations, and advanced math of that nature, I would stay away from engineering in general.
It's great that you do this. Such a waste of resources when hardware just gets trashed. Thank you!
Oh man... this oughta be good.... Just started watching... settling back. Really enjoy your longer videos. As a tech myself, it's a pleasure watching your technique.
Glad you like them!
When Ps5 comes out:
Steve:How to safely clean your PlayStation 5
A conlusion of the longer tests would have been nice. Maybe they had other problems that did not show after a quick boot up. Game controler connection problems, Sound glitching, getting too hot, Internet problems, etc.
