First why have you been dropping a $600 game system in the first place my ps5 stays where it's at in my house??? And to answer your question that foam barrier that is around the the cpu is Specifically designed to be the thing that stops the luquid metal from leaking into the rest of the board it has to be there. but also having your ps5 in the horizontal position stops the luquid metal from pooling up on the bottom of the cpu so you might do that to make sure everything is OK. But try not to drop it anymore for real. And why have you dropped it many times again??

My suggestion to you would be to grab a flashlight and look down inside your hole for your headphone jack and see if there's a foreign piece of metal or even dust and dirt in there From a previous headphone being plugged into it, it could have broken off and gotten lodged inside of it. If that is the case, then you will need a pair of tweezers with a really long fine tip. So that you can reach inside very gently and grab hold of whatever you can grab hold of from the old earphone or dust& dirt but don't reach in there unless you see something that doesn't look right it's not Necessary if it's totally clean. One thing I can tell you from my past experience is that when your phone or Ipod whatever you are listening to goes in and out of your pocket it wears down the material, that then forms lint and that lint often times ends up in places like your headphone jack for instance and sometimes it just needs cleaned out really carefully and I have to stress be very careful. If nothing is wrong with the jack then...
