Hi! My brother’s house recently burned down and he was able to salvage a lot of things from it, this PS5 included. The white covers melted a bit but we were able to take them off - the power on and eject buttons are completely stuck, probably melted to the plastic cover of the PS5, there’s no way to power it on with that and the paired controller is gone.Lots of electronics were saved from that part of the house and they almost all work fine, so I’m wondering how do I turn the PS5 on if the buttons don’t work? I connected a random PS5 controller, pressed the PS button but it didn’t work, it seems like a non-paired controller doesn’t work on my own PS5 either, that’s a relief because it means it might work but I still have no clue how to turn it on without fully disassembling it.I’m nowhere near an expert but I managed to take the console apart following a youtube guide - I stopped when I realized I’d have to take the heatsink off and the whole motherboard apart to reach that part of the console, that’s way above my skillset.Is there an easier way to turn it on or to reach that part of the console?Any response is much appreciated, thank you.
Applied a lot of force and we were able to turn it on, everything seems to work, now the TV screen is flickering, seems to turn on and-off sometimes for a second, but only in the home screen, not in game.
