Mine’s been horizontal since day one but highly doubt this is gonna be an issue for anyone who doesn’t pick apart their console.

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

He repaired a console that tronicsfix couldn’t repair. He sent it to him to see if he could do it

This is pretty lame. This is a special case and you use it to back justify some ignorant bias. Most electronics do not give a fuck about the direction of gravity relative to their orientation. Keep not trusting shit that is perfectly normal and finding the one case where your nonsense view is "justified" because that is great.

Mine has been vertical since day 1 and never had issues. Then again, I don't use it as much. But honestly, I never had issues with any consoles I've ever bought.

Yeah as he said some people may never have issues, but it doesn’t mean you won’t either

That's not true, my launch model 360 got the rrod and it was all over the net at that time as I was trying to look for fixes. This was in early 2006.

yep like all humans do. I'm gonna keep being distrustful of vertical hardware now.
If you wanna keep your PS5 or Xbox in vertical position that's fine, i just don't like the idea. it's not something you should get angry at me about

I'm not saying that it is a different console but what if it is? How can anyone say that it is not a different one?

It's clear you haven't watched the video in question. TronicsFix commented saying it was nice work
The guy does BGA reballs by hand, instead of using a stencil loads of the time. I couldn't even begin to contemplate how frustrated I'd be if I even attempted it manually.

I honestly don't even know why somebody would think he would fake something like that when it would be easily called out by the other guy if he was

Burned down my house sadly. Luckily the fire department came and put it out with gasoline.
Never setting a console vertical again.

It's funny to see people coming here and saying "vertical since day one and no issue" if it would prove the guy is wrong.
Using your console vertically will increase the chances of getting the problem. It's just like smoking, it increases the chances of getting cancer.

This was a good video. It's always nice to see you tubers doing better journalism than gaming "journalists."
I put a timestamp on the most relevant part.

I'm not putting mine horizontally.
It looks like a badly made buffet sandwich.

I will keep mine placed vertically. I don't have enough space to place that monster horizontally.

But the point here is that the Liquid Metal will flow towards the direction gravity is pointing and the chamber sealing it could potentially leak as the seal wears with the thermals that PS5 handles. Still, I struggle to believe that such a flaw would be ignored by Sony since it is clear that it was designed to be standing in a vertical positions while the horizontal orientation looks more like an after thought.

I haven't watched the video yet. And I am not saying that is he is faking it. I am being cautious is all.

For what it's worth I watch a fair few Electronics repair videos, including the console ones.
From looking at the ones with liquid metal where it shouldn't be, It normally goes hand in hand with a broken HDMI port which generally means one thing... It's been knocked over.
That'a why my stuff sits horizontally. I have a mega happy dog ( Wagging tail ) and stuff goes flying

Vertical since day one, and no issue.
Fair play to the guy though. The traffic on his youtube has increased.

when its horizontal its flat though and can evenly distribute but when its vertical the Liquid Metal will follow gravity. like he said it increases chances of it happening but he did say it may not effect some as well. if you watch enough of his videos you will see Liquid Metal leakage on a fair few consoles he takes apart but as somebody easier pointed out they could of been knocked or dropped

Yeah it would be strange if you put your TV vertical In your livingroom.
Except your TV in your bedroom when you put it vertical you can lying on your side in bed that would be ideal, or when you lying on your back in your bed you can put your TV on the sealing...

That's not bad. If there is an issue (which I don't believe there is for the record), it's best to spread the word and have it reach the ears of those it should asap. Either to dismiss it or investigate and make an official statement. Imagine a scenario where everybody ignored the RROD for years.This 1 video spread to so many sites, videos, tiktok like it's common issue

There are no "liquid metal issues." Clickbait is clickbait.

Yes this is how the vast majority of hw failures work only a small portion of people are affected, see the recent 4090 power connector issues. Still though your hw failing due to faulty design is not a good look.
