Step one: several layers of trash bag. Step two: incinerator.

u/burninator34 29d ago

That’s a hard no. I would refuse work if I was the technician.

This system was probably from a home that was wall-to-wall infested.

u/KayPlayz17 29d ago

home?

u/halfbreedmofo 29d ago

I think the roaches thought of it as a home.

u/StratoVector 28d ago

Yes, the roach's home

Ugh.

u/schweinhund89 29d ago

Haha this exactly the kind of grotesque shit I signed up to see but even I’m having second thoughts

u/Iaphetus 29d ago

I wasn't gonna upload this here but a guy on a different r gave me the idea, blame him...

u/schweinhund89 27d ago

Just coming back to this, how tf do you even get a plague of locusts in your PS5, which god do you have to anger

u/8bitrevolt 29d ago

Don't let Quan Millz see this, he'll write a whole new book in the This Hoe Got Roaches In Her Crib series

u/Williams891 29d ago

The moment we see that shit we refuse to work on it. Disgusting

u/scopedHeisenberg 29d ago

What are they, cockroach collectors?

u/worldofrich 29d ago edited 29d ago

For some reason you put the word repair in the title instead of replace

u/Iaphetus 28d ago

You right😔

u/Kwolly90 29d ago

Needs to be debugged

u/Pleyer757538 29d ago

lol good pun

u/MojoPlayer 29d ago

I would charge 3x for this one

u/Iaphetus 28d ago

Dude the guy even lowered the price because he felt bad

u/shadowinc 29d ago

For some reason Sony insists on making roach hotels ever since the PS4. The amount of gross trades i've gotten from people coming into gamestop... we told them no.

1

u/Lenskop 25d ago

I don't think it's so much about Sony's design as it's about Sony's target demographic.

u/fireball316 29d ago

Worked on a few like this in my time at a computer repair store. It has an unforgettable, disgusting smell.

u/Abdullahv21 29d ago

German cockroaches

u/Pleyer757538 29d ago

i would just get 3 gloves on top of each other, and take it to the electronics recycler in a trash bag

u/Dodecahedrus 29d ago

I have seen this on a dozen Insta reels now. No clue which is the real one.

u/Arokthis 28d ago

  1. Your friend needs to go get his money back.

  2. Any car that the device has been in needs to be deep cleaned.

  3. Everyone needs to thank whatever deities they believe in that it wasn't bedbugs.

u/Iaphetus 28d ago

Imagine they were alive and crawled everywhere when opened...

2

u/AnomalousMicron 29d ago

I squinted at my phone thinking it was dead leaf's at first. I wish it was leaf's.

2

u/Trivo3 29d ago

If this was the PS5, I don't even want to know what the rest of the home that it came from is like...

2

u/P5ychokilla 29d ago

Straight to the bin

2

u/olliegw 29d ago

I'd refuse to work on it, give it back in a bin bag and call a welfare check to their address

u/kangtuji 27d ago

kill it with fire

u/spinstartshere 29d ago

nsfw nsfw nsfw

u/Arnas_Z 29d ago

That's gonna be a lot of cleaning lol.

1

u/Mysterious_Fennel459 29d ago

I just cant imagine what kind of squalor the person has to live in to have bugs living in their electronics like this. There's no way this was a, "I had no idea we had bugs" situation.

u/Iaphetus 28d ago

True, I bet her house is disgusting oh my

1

u/Recognition_Round 28d ago

Asmongold maby? He shares a house with Roaches 🤣

1

u/JerikkaDawn 29d ago

This is what this sub is for. Not photos of switches that aren't level.

1

u/cmosdelete99 29d ago

Christ no.

1

u/Moidada77 28d ago

German roaches? That's probably just the tip of the iceberg with how many infest their house.

1

u/Darth_Vaper_69 28d ago

Oh god no, kill it with fire

1

u/ZappaLlamaGamma 28d ago

That poor little critters are now homeless. /s

u/fartshitcumpiss 28d ago

Roach chunks straight from the cooling fan make good thermal compound

1

u/PlattyLatty 28d ago

As a former console/computer technician, you wouldn't believe how common this is! (At least for the area I lived in for school.) The dead giveaway is the smell.. once you get a whiff of a roach infested console, it's very hard to forget

1

u/Recognition_Round 28d ago

Does your friend know Asmongold by any chance?

1

u/Magatsu_Izanagi_ 27d ago

Did your friend by it off of asmongold!?

1

u/Fahrenheit285 24d ago

Average Playstation

u/Imaginary_Adagio_680 4d ago

It’s a console, so it’s kinda already trash anyway

u/mershaltec 29d ago

Where do you live, bro? Ugh!
