A netizen recently revealed that the PS5 console sold by Sony can be damaged if you leave it standing. We tell you everything!
PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox… So many consoles that are not without risk for the user. Moreover, a surfer recently put his finger regarding a failure on Sony’s device that might be avoided.
End of shortage for the PS5
Since its launch on November 19, 2020, Sony’s PlayStation is still very hard to find. Whether in France or abroad, fans of the Japanese firm are scrambling to get one.
And as the months go by, it’s still very difficult to get Sony’s famous console. In November 2022, the Play Station celebrated its two years. An event celebrated with great fanfare by the Japanese company. In the process, the president of the PS5 assured that production will intensify.
The Chinese giant had revealed that PS5 delivery delays were due, in large part, to the shortage of electronic components. A plausible rationale, but which did not delight Internet users.
It must be said that the war in Ukraine and the geopolitical conflicts have not done the economy any good. But, in October 2022, Sony confirmed its desire to produce more than 30 million consoles for the year 2023.
This blockbuster would make up for the lack and allow those who are waiting for a PS5 for more than two years, to get one.
In the United States, PS5 stocks jumped 400% between September and November 2022. The United Kingdom, meanwhile, sold more than 2 million consoles in 2022.
Recently, a surfer got his hands on a failure of the Sony PS5. A failure that might be avoided on the condition of respecting an essential instruction.

Don’t leave your console standing
With over 5 million consoles sold worldwide, the PS5 console is one of the most coveted in the world. Its shortage is therefore a shortfall for the Japanese firm.
On the other hand, what Sony had not taken into account is that its console is experiencing some hardware problems. Not long ago, a user got his hands on a system failure. Elle might well harm many gamers.
Indeed, with its new x86-64 architecture, the PS5 has a liquid metal to achieve “The heat transfer between its APU and the cooling system takes place instead of conventional thermal paste”details jeuxactu.com.
Clearly, if you put your PS5 upright, it might have serious serious consequences for the machine. Ultimately, this might cause a malfunction of the Sony console.
As jeuxvideo.com specifies, the so-called position ” standing “, pushes the famous liquid down. The latter will therefore deteriorate the protection. And spread to other components of the motherboard and thus damage it.
To prevent PS5s from deteriorating, many specialists regularly warn console users on social networks. The media jeuxvideo.com cites in particular French technicians Ben Montana and 68Logic.
The latter have thus put photos on their Facebook page to show the consequences of this liquid metal on the PS5. We must therefore fear vigilance.
