I Bought a BROKEN PS4 (Special Edition) From Goodwill - Can I Fix It? The matching controller was dirty but seemed to work just fine. The special edition console however, turned on but was stuck on checking the system software. That's usually caused by hard drive problems but it also could be something else.

Hey Steve, I'd just like to say thank you! I've gotten into tech repair thanks to your helpful (and addictive) videos! I bought a broken PS4 the same model as this one for £40 (forgot the exact model number, but its the PS4 with the physical buttons rather than touch-sensitive) and I sold it off yesterday for £120! I've been practicing a lot on different things - Gameboy Advance, PS3, Wii, and I've got a PS2 Slim I'm looking forward to fixing! Anyways yeah I just want to say thank you for getting me into repairing, I enjoy it a lot and I know the things I spend time fixing will go on to people who will have great experiences with them rather than filling up the junkyard

0:06 first off, that box in GREAT shape. Shoulda seen the one I got Wednesday. Looked liked fell of truck on HWY doing 80, then when come to stop after rolling, bouncing, etc...was hit by another truck before picked up. Than looked like was stepped on, actually had a shoe/boot print in it😅 (seriously, not joking); and there literally wasn’t one place that “didn’t” have tape on it (think after all the damage, they had to tape to keep box together 🤦🏼). BUT, yep, always a but, 😉, b/c the person packed it so well inside, NOTHING WAS DAMAGED, not one thing. Had thick bubble wrap, dense foam, and they even reinforced corners w/ cardboard braces using hot glue (from what looked like). So, pretty awesome imo, that nothing was damaged, and what was inside was a bunch of replacement “chips” for MOBO, electronic repair, etc...and everything tested 100% working. Where am I going w/ this novella, would be curious to see the “state” at which you receive some of your boxes from ppl, and what used to “cushion” device/part inside during shipping. Bet ya got some good stories 😉😆 Cool was a HDD issue and easy to fix, also like that you 7:25 clean the rollers and felt parts of disc drive, as some don’t do that for refurb’d or even factory refurb’d devices👍🏻 Cheers✌🏻
