Not sure people understand what you actually did. This is VERY common and often happens without any real force applied.
Xbox fanboys are giving him a welcoming one. Publicly announcing he destroyed one of the other consoles is a pretty big display of commitment to the Xbox cause.Do you want a hug or what?
Thanks but I've had enough of this console. My post history will show I always bitched about their noise levels
To fix the PS5 in the future?Time to learn how to solder!
...and please take the PS4 Pro with you, it seems to need it, too.OP, I don't know why are you so proud of it? If you were that "frustrated" over fan noise then maybe you should take a break and go outside and get some fresh air.
I must have missed that part. The only thing i see in this thread are PS fanboys bashing and insulting him, as expected.Xbox fanboys are giving him a welcoming one. Publicly announcing he destroyed one of the other consoles is a pretty big display of commitment to the Xbox cause.
Insulting?I must have missed that part. The only thing i see in this thread are PS fanboys bashing and insulting him, as expected.
Really? Fuck you Sony, fuck you and your stupid hardware, I destroyed this shit. Fuck who doesn't say fuck with me, they are all fanboy. What kinda of intelligent criticism you think to lead using such argumentations? I could swear no one here has defended at all the loudness issue of the pro; I just see sarcastic posts about your overreaction but what did you expected?Yep. Can see some PS warriors are out to defend the company honor when I criticise the cooling solution. It's sad really.
At least now I can game in silence and if I miss my Pro too much, I'll just run the vacuum cleaner
Just on the first page we already got:Insulting?
He said to have broken his hardware intentionally, we should praise such attitude?Just on the first page we already got:
"you're dumb as a rock"
"dumbass"
"you are fucking dumb"
You asked me what insults and i showed you.He said to have broken his hardware intentionally, we should praise such attitude?
And I explained to you what's the reason behind such "insults". It's not like people insult him without reasons. He could resell it or give for free to a friend his pro, for example. It's not like the hardware doesn't work. I mean if you did something of stupid, of course people laugh at your stupidity.You asked me what insults and i showed you.
Take it to a technician. That doesn't sound too bad, as long as after it's fixed you never touch it again with pliers.Long story short I fucked up the power supply connector accidently while trying to pry it loose with pliers. Instead of the connector loosening, the whole fucking connector to the board just fell off.
That's a fine ass console still, and lots of people would give a kidney for it.But yeah it does seem to be a common point of failure. Some people have advised soldering but not keen on even trying to fix this one. I do appreciate the info though. Ive just lost interest in this console to be honest. Been thinking about opening up to clean it again for the longest time now and today I got especially frustrated with the noise.
Thanks. It's readily available here. PS5 and Series X is not.
I don't care for ultra super duper 4K gaming. I just want to game in relative silence and GamePass will save me a couple pennies until I get either of the two big boys (PS5 or Series X)
Now where did I say I broke it intentionally. Some of you are seriously fucked up.He said to have broken his hardware intentionally, we should praise such attitude?
There is never a rational reason to insult people because of a playstic toy, but each to their own.And I explained to you what's the reason behind such "insults". It's not like people insult me without reasons
Yes it's my fault for the mistake I made today. Should have taken to technician but I successfully cleaned and reapplied thermal paste before so thought it would be a walk in the park this time.OP fucked up. But he’s right about Sony’s hardware. It’s been trash as of late.
Christ man. I don't care. I will eventually get a PS5. I just want to be on another platform for now. I donr want another PS4 Pro neither do I want a PS4 slim.Series S is not even 1080p gaming.
Don't make that mistake
It's the thread title, it implies what they're jumping at.Now where did I say I broke it intentionally. Some of you are seriously fucked up.
The 'Xbox cause'? Is this a joke post?Xbox fanboys are giving him a welcoming one. Publicly announcing he destroyed one of the other consoles is a pretty big display of commitment to the Xbox cause.
Um, Nah . It's people just trolling. Nothing about the thread title implies I intentionally destroyed my own console. I don't have regrets it broke because I was frankly just tired of the noise levels. It seemed to have found another 1000rpm today after I fired up Call Of Duty.It's the thread title, it implies what they're jumping at.
It's not, console warring is serious business!The 'Xbox cause'? Is this a joke post?
I'd hope this is just a joke post.
Christ man. I don't care. I will eventually get a PS5. I just want to be on another platform for now. I donr want another PS4 Pro neither do I want a PS4 slim.
My PS games are still there and I'll continue that on PS5.
Btw this thread is great. I appreciate those that suggest alternatives to just giving up ony Pro. Those that seek to insult or do the old driveby shitpost will get placed on ignore
Oh believe you me I'm checking every single day but there's only 2nd hand Series X for sale and north of $1000. Same with PS5.Don't misunderstand me, I'm not here to stop you from going green, just saying try to find an X
Haven't owned any other Sony gear to be able to commrnt on it but I've heard their products have improved in build quality in recent years especially their TV and Camera gear.Sony's gear, not just their consoles, as great as it maybe on a technology level, has always been a bit suss on the build quality side.
Every bit of kit I have had from them seemed very strict about sticking to its built in timeline of obsolescence.
There's a good reason it's readily availableThanks. It's readily available here. PS5 and Series X is not.

Yeah is 1080p blah blah. I know fella. Im good with that.There's a good reason it's readily available
It's shit
If you are a COD player that storage is gonna hurt you big time
If they read the rest of the first post, yes. But I assume they are landing on the newest post/page and writing away.Nothing about the thread title implies I intentionally destroyed my own console. I don't have regrets it broke because I was frankly just tired of the noise levels. It seemed to have found another 1000rpm today after I fired up Call Of Duty.
I've had my partner ask me countless times if my console fans should be running that high cause she can hear it in the other room.
Well, not trying to meddle, but I do think Xbox Series S might be a good buy at this point.I don't have regrets it broke because I was frankly just tired of the noise levels. It seemed to have found another 1000rpm today after I fired up Call Of Duty.

Good thing PS5 seems to be running decently but hoping there will be a hardware revision before I pick up one.
Depends on which version you have - the original release could get obnoxiously loud although there did seem to be quite a bit of variation between units. The final release was generally OK, although it still seems quite sensitive to dirty fans.Man the level of hysteria around the PS4 pro loudness is something else. Yeah it's loud but all that rage, seriously?
True but it should be salvageable. There are people out there who fixed the issue themselves but I'll eventually just get it repaired or it will just be another ornament on my TV stand which I don't mind btw .I always just slowly wiggle the connector out by gently pulling the wire. I've cleaned/repaired my PS3s and PS4s many times this way without issue, those wires are pretty strong. I'd imagine it's difficult to be gentle and accurate with pliers, even though it's frequently recommended.
That said, it's probably not going to be that difficult to solder the connector back onto the board.
I have the version before the last revision which I understand runs quieter. A friend has the latest PS4 Pro revision and his console always runs quieter than mine.Depends on which version you have - the original release could get obnoxiously loud although there did seem to be quite a bit of variation between units.

We are fucked up? Really? You destroyed your own console without know how to fix it (which absolutely work fine but noise is became the worst thing EVER, RROD was nothing in comparison) then you open a thread to claim you have not regret of it and you go to fuck all the world, people laugh at your hysterical thread but the other mind are fucked up? OkNow where did I say I broke it intentionally. Some of you are seriously fucked up.
Care to point out where in my post did I mentioned that I broke this pin intentionally.
If you can't, then shut the fuck up.
Man my Pro is load as hell in some games. It's annoying, yes. But now feel so outraged, go to fuck up a company and the whole world for this? I understood if it doesn't work but Jeez the fuck going on in some mindDepends on which version you have - the original release could get obnoxiously loud although there did seem to be quite a bit of variation between units. The final release was generally OK, although it still seems quite sensitive to dirty fans.
I mean OP literally filled of insult everyone in this thread who laugh at him but you just noticed the playstation fanboy say dumbass to him. Respect works just in one side?There is never a rational reason to insult people because of a playstic toy, but each to their own.
I find more laughable try to find out the level of loudness of 2 console just to do console war but maybe it's me the strange thereYep, it’s embarrassing how loud my launch PS4 and launch PS4 Pro became.
In fact, my PS5 is a lot louder playing PS4 games than my Series X is on Series X games. Which is even more laughable given the size of the PS5.
What a joke.
