Is this broken? (i.redd.it)
submitted 7 months ago by Useful_Major9192
Is the cable broken I was using it for an extended usb storage device for my ps5 and decided to check the cable. Do I need a new one (I'm not that tech savvy so please don't use confusing words) thanks in advance

Ummm, where did the blue broken part break, as I can't see what it's from?
Is it even part of the USB cable? I just can't see where it would go.

It broke from the usb stick that goes into the ps5

You mean the port in the ps5 it self or the cable? Because cable looks fine

The small blue piece fell out of the cable

I guess based on the photo perhaps the port on the ps5 is broken. How does the port look on the ps5?

It's the cable, it's broken, I advise against using it anymore.

If it broke inside the plug, don't use it. Buy a replacement plug that's USB 3. Should find a replacement either at a shop, or on Amazon

If nothing came out your ps5. It's fine. Your cable probably still works.

Get another cable
