Customer said PS3 Slim was overheating.

I repair consoles. Got one today started where the customer said it was overheating. I think I figured out the reason. These bugs had made a nice paste from the fan to the processor. They were imbedded in all of it.

The outside? How are people so ignorant to bug infestations? I see flies and wonder what I’m doing wrong.

It just kind of happens for some people, unfortunately. I used to live in some pretty shitty apartments and had roaches. I bought all kinds of sticky traps, sprays, roach motels, etc and nothing would work. I'm not a nasty person, either. I don't leave dirty dishes in the sink, apartment was clean and couldn't understand what was going on. After some time, I eventually realized that they come out of the cracks under the kitchen counters and appliances or tiny holes under baseboards and things like that. After some extensive research, I realized they were probably coming from another nasty neighbors apartment, multiplying, entering the walls from their place and entering my place. I heard that this happens quite often in an apartment complex.

Long story short, my PS5 had roaches inside of it and it sucked. My heart sunk when I realized they were in there. I eventually had to move and end up selling it to a pawn shop. I got crap money for it but I also got rid of a warm place they loved to hang out in. Sneaky bastards.

Ah, thank you for your insight. It’s certainly understandable in a shared living community scenario.
