I Paid $120 for This Broken PS5 - But It Won't Update! When I try to update it I get error SU-101312-8 and it says "Something went wrong" on the screen. I also noticed that the eject button for the disc drive doesn't work so luckily that gives me somewhere to start.

Nice video as always!

Hey Steve! You introduced me to the world of DIY tech repair, so I wanted to say thank you for all the content you make and how much you break everything down; I am also hoping you have a speedy recovery! Thanks for being awesome!

[RedFaceeee]

Hey Steve, you are the single reason I ever got into repairing video games and it’s become a central hobby in my life now.

I read about your lymphoma. You will beat it. Any changes that come while you beat it we will still be here with you. Focus on your health. Stay strong brother.

[TheCodr]

Great stuff Steve. Remember to take some time for yourself though buddy

[motivvt]

Wishing you the best Steve! Thank you for being a staple of all my console restoration endeavors!

[.......]

I was going to ask if the console would work without a disk drive, but you answered it perfectly

[JohnDunne]

"I feel weird fixing just one" - You've got healthy OCD aka perfectionism.... I'd defintely trust you to fix my PS5 any day!!

[LedSlinga]

Steve everything is going to be fine, wishing you and the family the best things will get hard soon but we cross those paths when they come.

[ianblythe]

I have to thank you for the inspiration to start trying harder and harder fixes for electronics. I have now fixed 2 OG xboxes, a GBA Sp, and modded several consoles in the last couple months. I have a whole new appreciation for your accuracy and grace under a microscope especially with those 0402 sized caps and resistors. Rock on Steve, you're awesome!

[bigdog]

The only thing I wish we'd see is how much you sold some of these for so we can get an idea of the profit margins. Great episode as usual!

[istvanbally]

Sometimes we need fixing, too. And sometimes we need it more than once. Speaking from experience. Hang in there, you will be alright! Wishing you a full and speedy recovery!

[MarkShinton]

Hey steve, just heard about your diagnosis. Im so sorry to hear this. Keep thinking positive and stay strong. Sending my best wishes from across the pond 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
