USB Killer vs Nissan GTR & Nintendo Switch - Instant Death
Transcript
00:00Three, two, one.
00:03Ooh, I hear a click.
00:05Ooh, look at this.
00:06Oh my gosh, the screen.
00:09Hey guys, let's go ahead and have some more fun with the USB Killer.
00:12Today I've got some awesome new products to go ahead and test this out.
00:15The Nintendo Switch, NES Classic, even the PS4 Slim, which I didn't test in my last video.
00:20And one more, one really, really crazy one, because I have someone that doesn't want this car anymore
00:25and he's like, hey, you can have it.
00:26Go ahead and plug this thing into it.
00:28Not really.
00:28I have to pay for it.
00:29But anyways, this guy has claimed so many lives on my channel.
00:33The PS4, the Xbox, and a lot more.
00:36Let's see if any of these new products are resistant to it.
00:39So over here I've got a 2016 Nissan GT-R.
00:56And this is the David V TV.
00:58I actually knew this guy since I was little.
01:01He actually turned out to be a YouTuber.
01:02I found him in the same city.
01:04And I'll leave his link down below if you guys want to check him out.
01:06But he has a sick ride.
01:08I love this thing.
01:08Fortunately, today just has to go.
01:10We're going to see what the USB Killer does to it.
01:12Literally one of my biggest requests to test this on a car.
01:15And that's what we're going to do today.
01:16By the way, if I break it, I do owe him the money.
01:22We kind of mutually agreed on that.
01:25All right, man.
01:25Let's do it.
01:26And then test out some Nintendo products.
01:28My personal prediction is nothing too bad.
01:30So I think that it'll just burn the infotainment.
01:33Maybe the sound.
01:34Maybe the units.
01:35A navigation unit.
01:36I don't think it'll really go past that.
01:38And if we're lucky, it might just be a fuse.
01:40Not actually burn anything inside of the electronics.
01:44But I've always been curious.
01:45This is a very expensive experiment.
01:47Where's your USB port, man?
01:49Well, it's actually right here.
01:52It's a nice interior, man.
01:53Good color choice.
01:54No, I honestly don't think anything too bad will happen.
01:56But it's my ass that's on the line if it does.
01:59All right.
01:59First thing I just wanted to show is that if we plug it in, that it connects, starts charging, and audio should be working here.
02:10All right.
02:11We're good.
02:13So stage two is to test with the tester unit.
02:16This is basically a little tester.
02:19So before the shock enters the system, it kind of allows you to discharge it here and you see some sparks, which is kind of cool.
02:25By the way, what happens if you stick a normal USB in there?
02:28Is it going to read the songs?
02:29Yeah.
02:29Well, when you put it in your phone, it just plays a regular song, whatever you're trying to play.
02:34Or I think it's all audio through the phone.
02:37Oh, okay.
02:37Let's go ahead and plug it in.
02:38So get in here.
02:39Tester shield unit going in.
02:43All right.
02:44So we can get a very strong spark.
02:46Damn.
02:48That's actually a good sign that something is going to fry.
02:53All right.
02:54Are you ready, man?
02:55This guy.
02:56I'm scared.
02:57Hold him back if he lunges at me.
02:59Here we go.
03:00USB killer versus 2016 Nissan GTR.
03:04I'm going to turn the music up just so we can hear.
03:06Click AM FM.
03:07So it plays radio.
03:08All right.
03:11Three, two, one.
03:16Oh, I hear a click.
03:18Oh, look at this.
03:18Oh my gosh.
03:19Shoot.
03:20It resets.
03:22Oh my God.
03:23Holy crap.
03:24It's not playing music anymore.
03:25Okay.
03:26We're fine, but the clicking stopped over here.
03:29Let's see if the iPhone still turns on.
03:34Damn.
03:35It's not charging anymore.
03:36I think we fried your USB port, man.
03:38Wait.
03:38Did you unplug it and plug it back in?
03:40Yeah.
03:42Wow.
03:45Nothing.
03:46That's kind of crazy.
03:47It started tweaking out over here.
03:48Like the actual Navi.
03:50Damn.
03:52Fudge.
03:53Okay.
03:53I'm going to try the test unit to see if we can get any sort of power out of it still.
03:56But I think I just fried your port or a fuse.
03:59We're going to go ahead and check the fuses here.
04:01Yeah.
04:01Oh.
04:02Oh, it's working.
04:03It's still working.
04:05Why wouldn't the iPhone work?
04:06Try restarting the car.
04:07Turn off the ignition.
04:08Oh, okay.
04:09I'll try that.
04:10Dude, it's not working.
04:11Just kidding.
04:12Shit, my son.
04:16The car started.
04:18The valves are closed.
04:20Oh, okay.
04:21No, you don't need to open it.
04:24It's not charging, though.
04:28Yeah.
04:29Shoot, dude.
04:29I'm sorry.
04:30It's fine.
04:32I mean, how much can a USB port possibly cost?
04:36What's interesting, though, is that this still gets power.
04:38I'm going to plug it in one more time.
04:40All right.
04:40And again, it does start clicking, but nothing's going on this time.
04:46So we're going to check the fuse box, but the consensus seems to be that we just fried
04:50this port alone.
04:51So these guys actually thought of this kind of thing.
04:54Most electronics don't have a defense against it.
04:57So that's kind of cool.
04:58The more you know, you're a Nissan GT-R safe against these things.
05:02All right.
05:02Let's go check the box.
05:04That's a relief.
05:05Shit, dude.
05:05So it turns out there's a maze just to reach the fuse box in here.
05:10I make it so complicated.
05:11On my Audi, you just pop the panel off and they're all there.
05:14But it turns out the USB killer does affect the Nissan GT-R, but nowhere near as bad as
05:19any of the other electronics I've tested.
05:21So let's move on to the Nintendos and other things.
05:24That's NES Classic.
05:25I've got the PS4 Slim over here.
05:28Maybe it's more resistant versus the PS4 Pro.
05:31PS4 Pro didn't do too well, actually, but it did better than the Xbox One.
05:35And here it is.
05:38So I couldn't even get one on the date when they were up for pre-order.
05:43I had to pay $450 for this, which sucks, but here it is.
05:49The Nintendo Switch, the coveted Nintendo Switch.
05:52Let's go ahead and unbox this guy.
05:53Anyway, that's a lot smaller than I thought.
06:01Cool.
06:01Does this thing even have a USB port?
06:07And it does have USB-C.
06:11Perfect.
06:13This is going to be nice.
06:15But there it is.
06:16A lot more bezel than I'd like.
06:19We're going to power it on and see how it looks.
06:21It's very sleek.
06:22I like that.
06:23Slide these on.
06:27Cool.
06:28All right.
06:29That's the new Switch.
06:30What else do we get?
06:32Dock.
06:32Oh, that's like a gamepad.
06:35And the official dock over here.
06:37This doesn't...
06:38Oh, it does.
06:38So these have USB ports, too.
06:40So I just plugged it in.
06:41It's powering on.
06:44Oh, that's got some good speakers.
06:45All right.
06:52So I'm going to set it up first.
06:54But that's kind of cool.
06:57It's very responsive.
06:58So this is a power meter for USB-C.
07:00First thing I wanted to do is see what kind of a current this thing is taking in.
07:04All right.
07:04So 1.11 amps, 14.7 volts.
07:07About 1 amp there.
07:095 volts.
07:13Nothing.
07:14But it does give a very strong spark.
07:17Wow.
07:17All right.
07:19Let's do this.
07:21Beautiful new Nintendo Switch.
07:23Actually, much cooler looking than I thought versus USB killer.
07:27Is it a match?
07:29Got our USB-C adapter.
07:33And here we go.
07:35In three...
07:36Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:37You know what we should do first?
07:39We should plug it into the dock.
07:40Or no, no, no, screw it.
07:41All right.
07:42In three, two, one.
07:45Oh.
07:46Oh.
07:48I think that's it.
07:49I heard the pop.
07:51How do you turn this thing on?
07:52Okay.
07:53Power button.
07:56Wow.
07:57That's it.
07:58That was fast.
08:01Power.
08:03And nothing.
08:05No sign of life.
08:07What about the individual controllers?
08:08So they're still alive.
08:10They're just searching for the Switch.
08:14That's it.
08:15Wow.
08:16Wow.
08:17All right.
08:18So the Switch is dead.
08:19Let's see if a little bit of a more ancient device over here, the NES Classic, can withstand
08:25this.
08:25Very tiny.
08:26I never owned one of these, but I did have an Atari 2600 as a kid.
08:30So there's really no nostalgia factor for me.
08:32But there is a DC in.
08:35Oh.
08:35How's that going to work?
08:37So I don't even think that's going to work.
08:40There's literally no way to plug this in.
08:42This kind of goes in there, but I don't think it'll do anything.
08:47Huh.
08:48So I didn't really think this one through.
08:50There's no way to actually plug it into this one.
08:53All right.
08:53Moving on to the PS4 Slim.
08:55And the Slim.
08:56The Pro didn't do well.
08:59Let's see how this one does.
09:00Not as slim as the PS2 Slim was, though.
09:03That's for sure.
09:04Looks like we have a...
09:05No, that's not a USB auxiliary.
09:08So the PS4 Pro had a USB in the back.
09:10This just has two in the front.
09:12Let's go ahead and power it on.
09:14Nice sandwich design.
09:15So as usual, test what kind of power output we can get here.
09:20But as you can see, it is working.
09:21Powering on.
09:23Yeah.
09:23Good amount.
09:28Very strong.
09:29Not even going to bother setting that up.
09:32Let's see how resistant it is.
09:34Three, two, one.
09:38Oh my goodness.
09:41What?
09:41That is something I've never seen before.
09:44Usually when you plug it in, it's just out.
09:46Done.
09:47That's kind of interesting.
09:49So, crazy glitch effect here.
09:52Did it kill the PS4 or not?
09:55Okay, I'm going to pull the plug.
09:58Damn, that was kind of crazy.
10:03Nope.
10:04No power.
10:09Huh.
10:10It didn't even make a crackle or a popper.
10:14I didn't hear it at least.
10:17So, that's it.
10:19Alrighty then.
10:21Guys, that's your daily dose or monthly dose of the USB killer.
10:25Did not survive the Nintendo Switch or the PS4 Slim.
10:29Unfortunately, Nissan GTR survived and the NES Classic survived due to not even being compatible
10:35with this test.
10:37So, thanks so much for watching.
10:38Be sure to check out some of the other USB killer tests.
10:40Really crazy stuff.
10:42And David's channel is down below.
10:44The guy is crazy.
10:44I would have never let someone borrow my GTR to plug this in there.
10:47What am I, crazy?
10:48Alright guys.
