Keeping your PS5 vertical might cause some issues, as reported by some users, with specific faults. Sometimes.

Damn right!Can you imagine advising to open your console and risking fucking it over a problem reported by a handful of people?

Keeping mine upright, and if it dies...Sony can sucka fat one. It's iterally advertised as stood up so should operate for years in that position. Why even go with liquid metal and a vertical designed console if its not ideal to work together, seems odd?
I'm hoping it will be fine, but that guy really knows his stuff so obviously it can be an issue. Bleugh.

Yeah, mine has been fine since launch. I thought the above vid was more interesting because it was coming from TronicsFix.

Is he seriously advising people replacing the liquid metal every once or 2 years? Insane. No people without serious experience should do that. Too many issues could happen. The most likely result being damaging the PS5 in the process.
But yes since the first time I saw videos of the liquid metal I had become worried about that potential problem. I think for now the best would be to keep it horizontal indeed. And I don't think Sony will openly talk about reliability problems to their consumers.

I always keep my consoles horizontal.... except XSX. I'm sure my PS5 would be just fine as is (and it's just so dang big and attention grabbing)
Probably very little to do, but I just don't see it would hurt the machine with "heat rises" theory... even though some cases like FT02/RV02 proved it didn't really matter much.

horizontal since day one.
also got skates from glistco
er ...
doesn't the PS5 already come with a stand ? Why would you need to buy this rickety ass thin g?

Not mad, these guys are just grifters and propagating issues where there are none.
Some people are going to break their shit based on paranoia.

Somehow, the included stand is actually ricketier. I would have bought a set of these if my PS5 would fit into my TV display case with them attached. It barely fits with the included shitty stand.

Love that this was bumped for a cringey click bait video not worth the time it took to be made.
The average consumer isn't going to pop open their PS5 every 2 yrs and re-do the liquid metal on the board
What a fucking clown.

Same people that got blinded by PSVR2. Those Japs got some high-end tech that could check your bloodstream if it has any greens in it to inflict damage or self-destruct.

They give you a stand in the box and what's wrong with that ?

It pops off if you mildly try to move it around. I don't move it around, but if you try to replace the liquid metal and tearing it out and licking it on a regular basis you would need those skates.

It's possibly the shittiest, most unstable, most easily detached stand ever designed.

it's great. Never used hrizontally because it's stupid. The console was clearly designed to stand vertically and stand is good for that.
They just made horizontal compatibility for pricks who would annoy them about it

yeah, Microsoft needs to release a software package to allow you to swap SSDs...
but everyone who uses instant on deserves this... there I said it

Oh Cod3r, TronicsFix told us this a couple of years ago with much less clickbait flair.
He was able to clone the system's original SSD to a different SSD from a different Xbox and it worked, but you'd probably have to have the foresight to make a clone while your system is still working. For the cost and effort of getting a new drive, equipment to clone, and hassle to get to the SSD in the first place I'd probably just send it to Microsoft to get it fixed. But that's just me.

"Using PS5 on vertical position makes the liquid metal go down"
That is a LIE.
When sony released their first ps5 models, it have a huge thermal bs in "L" format, what makes a misaligned. Does not matter if you are using on horizonal or vertical.
That's why Ps5 had problems with missing parts of metal liquid. When close with the metal board, does not fit properly.
So sony has fixed this with Ps5 1015 and 11xx removing the thermal "L" thing.
Fixed.
Now compare the board 12xx with 1015/11xx
Its a close step for a Ps5 Slim model!
(12xx on the right)
So guys, don't trust about "don't use vertically", its pure BS!

Looks like the 1216A/B has a few issues because Sony went the cheap way and glued the heatsink on without using screws.
Guy already repaired 8/9 units because of this issues.

This is actually so bad

The issue is the security partition which if it get corrupted the whole console is screwed. Its kinda bad because its got nothing to do with the hardware as the drive itself is entirely standard. The keys in the encrypted sector locking the drive to the board gets re-written (changed) with every firmware update, so any update between you making the backup and the drive getting screwed will result in a brick.
Which is pretty bad if you think about it, because without a valid paired drive you cannot apply any updates...

I know that some TV manufacturers glue some parts together.
Some parts were not properly glued and the lower ambilight strip was hanging down on some Philips TVs. Don't know If this was a huge issue but yes glue is cheaper than using screws.

I know glue is cheaper than screws, but screws are probably cheaper than having to pay for round trip shipping and someone to glue it back together if the glue fails.

Didn’t we learn anything from using lead-free solder?

I watched the video and he removed what seemed like a thousand screws to get down to the heatsink then it's a few smears of glue.

Lead-free solder has a higher melting point than leaded solder so if that's what was holding it together then it was either pretty high heat or the connection wasn't that great.
Yeah, I watched it, too. Didn't look like there was much adhesive on it. With all of the screws on that heat shield you'd think a few more for securing the cooling assembly wouldn't be that big of a deal. Or just make some of those existing screws pull double duty.
I wonder if that console in the video was dropped?
Rocco Schiavone

Yes It is. Before people say the guy has no clue and It was bad luck he already repaired eight or nine units with the same issue.
Unlikely that people smashed their console on the ground and the heatsink felt off.

It's fun and cringe when people like a post that's so badly written (prolly drunk) and rereading it
It's a good indicator though that there are those that can read between my dumbass lines and kinda know where I was getting at the time I suppose?
Necro reactions will never not be cringe

According to https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps5/index.php/SKU_Models it's a special edition one released in a few non-NA regions. But yes, it's a much more recent release after they had already fixed the issue. Not a great look for Sony skimping on manufacturing.

The one on the right is a 1015A.
You meant 12xx is on the left, I guess ?
