Yeah calling FUD on this.
Only two reports of this 'major issue'. Cod3r and a sus French guy; that looks like he squeezed a tube of liquid metal over the PS5's motherboard (lol?). This Youtuber even admits he didn't even check that if it was tampered with previously - which he has experience dealing with. And is easy to tell from the warranty seal and wear.
The problem is still real AFAIK, but there is *no evidence* that it happens on consoles that have been sitting in their box. That part was a complete misunderstanding on our end.

The damage is done, but I have updated the article (pending cache refresh)https://t.co/jx0ngLqR41
Then there's this other Ytuber, who did some investigation of her own -
There's 30 million units of these sold to customers and no repair workshops have reported this being a thing. So its.. not.
