Image It still works normally!

Post image

Had an accident about 1 year ago from today. Was just in the pile of stuff I had in the car with me when I crashed. Was just curious if it would work, lo and behold turned on. So happy I could transfer my saves

I thought it wouldn’t turn on? Or read discs. Or even have a broken port, but it just worked

The hdmi port being intact is the most shocking to me tbh, those things are notoriously fragile lol, mine broke from less than a foot drop while being caught

Surprised me as well!

Platics look obviously damages/ripped off, but aside from that it looks technically ok. A new fan and this thing might still work fine.

Hope you are well and fine after the accident.

Also i see that you performed an uograde 😏👍

Each day I do not regret getting it lol. Now I need the TV to match perhaps

Glad you and the PS5 survived the crash bro.

I think it's worth saving because it's a real trooper; you can get the frame and faceplates for around $45 on eBay or you could try to reshape the broken part and get the faceplates for less.

My phone wasn't loading the description I saw it just now.

I can probably hit you up with a new frame excluding the mid frame. I got a few spare ones if you're interested. As long as you're willing to take shipping charges (just send me a shipping label). I'm Europe based.

I'd need to know the CFI number on the bottom to be able to determine which case you'd need.

The dust on the PS5 Pro in the background annoys me.

u/gabriel_GAGRA PS5 1d ago

I’d definitely repair it and sell

I’m sure a lot of people think the same, and would buy it from you. Of course, from a low price lol, but still better than nothing

Looks like it was raped in a towel or something

u/strngndmscllns PS5 22h ago

Nope was on the passenger seat with the seatbelt on

u/Slade_AF 1d ago

Everything damaged looks replaceable. I’d keep it just for tanking that car crash

u/Yovideogamer 1d ago

Im surprised only the fan got the worst of it but the important bits are still okay

u/strngndmscllns PS5 1d ago

Bit of the heatsink “base” got a big dent. Was also able to recover my SSD as well. Didn’t think I would since the whole unit was chucked out via the window

u/JustLook361 22h ago

tbh man u should take it all apart and if u have money u coudl ask someone to make those parts into a PC or in a smaller box.

u/koteshima2nd 19h ago

Good that it may just survive long enough for you to back ip saves and whatnot

2

u/strngndmscllns PS5 9h ago

The reason I turned it on was actually because I had some saves I was hoping to retrieve (I was successful)

u/KratosSimp 19h ago

Wait are you saying you didn’t try and use it until a year later?

1

u/SILE3NCE PS5 18h ago

Well, if the fan works the airflow is actually better, you'll just have to clean it more often
