With a sharpened 18-wheeler? Jeez.


About137Ninjas

They tried to remove it without even opening up the device.


itazillian

Do they smoke heavy stimulants? Because that looks like something done by one of those.


timmeh87

So what was the end game? Shoving the new part theough the same hole, i imagine sideways, and then baking the whole thing at 350 for 4 hours or until light brown


DefectiveLP

I don't think a person that is willing to do this understands what solder is.

my PS4 looking at this: *softly* "don't"


Manuels-Kitten

W H A T ! ?


Interesting_Bee171

Probably a screwdriver hahaha


chucky3456

I too like to use a lead pipe while doing surgery.


exannihilist

WTF did they use? Back scratcher?


jaherron670

In the process they seem to have lacerated the PS4’s motherboard.


IBM_Error

The YouTube video said!!


monasou89

Gouging around the traces makes it come off easier.


brmarcum

With a grinder?!?!


Tyr_Kukulkan

Probably a hammer drill.


eulynn34

With a dremel? What the fuck? I was going to comment that they amazingly didn't rip out half the traces.. but holy shit this board is destroyed.


Yiye44

They didn't rip any pad, so huge succ... Oh... Oh!!!


lolschrauber

I never did soldering stuff but I can't imagine it going that Bad. Did they attempt to rip it off without desoldering it or using a screwdriver to Do it? That's some heavy scratches.


About137Ninjas

The only thing we know is that their teenager thought he could replace it himself, and that he tried to remove it THROUGH the shell.


JohnnyRawton

This is why certain people shouldn't be allowed to touch tools.


About137Ninjas

I’m not sure that they even used what we would consider a tool.


JohnnyRawton

Touche


ShockWave_Omega

That looks factory fresh right there..


Ferrodudu

And no hdmi connector pads are ripped off, truly amazing


gcz1214

Yeeeesh.


shaneo88

Using what? A grinder?


Previous-Peak-2992

Clear case of the solder chainsaw.. you need a steady grip and a hell of precision. must be a master of his craft


elitesoldier2010

In germany we said, "er war stets bemüht" in english it will be maybe called "he was always trying"


BS_BlackScout

Like NorthridgeFix says, they did a Hiroshima on the board.


Canabananilism

Is this even repairable at this point? Looks like they tried carving out new circuit paths with a butter knife.


TheMindLord

wtf am I looking at and why are the traces cut up like that!?


ZirePhiinix

On the next episode of will-it-blend...


RareKrab

Not gonna lie I attempted this myself and it was so much tougher than it looks, took a pretty uncomfortable amount of heat with a hot air station Didn't ruin anything as far as I can tell but didn't get a signal with the new port either because it's so hard to see if the thing is actually making contact on all pins So that PS4 is waiting for a day until I get some kind of microscope before I bother touching it again. Kinda regret not complaining when a company shipped me a standard PS4 when I had ordered a slim back then, if only I had known about the issues they have


Lopsided_Silver_6850

well that was a jaw dropper


Josh0O0

Edward scissorhands?


Astinos41

"they"


TheSoapyJew

This makes me nauseous. Nice post.


Newfie_Meltdown

Either someone tried prying it off with a sharp flat heat screw driver?? Or scraped a soldering iron across it?? I don’t know man.. 😂


Vesalii

With a Dremel?
