When a customer brought in their PlayStation 5 to Gadget Medic in Longview, TX, it arrived completely lifeless. It would emit just a single beep when attempting to power on, then nothing. But the real culprit wasn’t immediately visible from the outside. Once we opened up the console, it became clear: the device had been overrun by roaches, and the infestation had done serious damage.
The pests had shorted out critical components on the motherboard, leaving behind more than just a mess. Using our DC power supply, we carefully injected voltage to the motherboard while monitoring the board with a thermal camera. This process allowed us to pinpoint the short precisely, a tiny Wi-Fi capacitor that had overheated and failed.
With the shorted capacitor located and removed, we replaced the damaged component and thoroughly cleaned the interior. The console powered on successfully during testing and resumed full functionality, much to the customer’s relief.
Best of all, the repair was backed by our lifetime warranty, a testament to the confidence we have in our work. The turnaround was just three days from drop-off to power-up.
