It was very disappointing. This was the first PS5 I have been unable to fix. I did learn quite a bit though and now I have a donor board going forward. Thanks for stopping by!

Very informative video! you did a master job (not as the previous "repair" store...) but sometimes It's a no win. Thanks for your content!

Thanks. It happens.

This feels like backend software engineering; it’s often a game of whack-a-mole, finding the original problems and fixing the problems others created in their efforts, just have to stay determined and keep at it. Very tedious 😅

This console had been totally molested. I spent way too much time on it. I win would have made it all worth it.

@@ToltecMerc I’ve been very selective about which ones I obtain. I’ve had to do 3 PS4 Pro fuse replacements, replaced PSUs, HDDs, etc. One PS5 had crashing and artifacts, replaced the motherboard, that was costly. The only one I have left on the bench is a PS4 Pro that will not power the optical drive even with a new drive, fuses, and ribbon cables 😖 I don’t replace chips with the equipment I have.

AMAZING WORK ! you are truly amazing ! As you said "you can't fix them all", but what I learned (and truly enjoyed learning) from this video has more value. The knowledge you have about electrical components make me wonder about your degree or previous work ?

Thank you for the very informative video, I always look forward to your next one... Quick question about the waveform from the crystal I have seen you measure a few times. Where do you measure this? (I have tried pausing the video to try and work out where your probe is, but not sure), and what are your scope settings? Also will this waveform be present with just the battery inserted or does the power lead need to be plugged in and turned on first? Thanks again and much appreciated!

@ToltecMerc

Жыл бұрын

I am measuring directly at the 32kHz crystal. There are two test pads you can probe on. I use the X10 setting on the probe for higher input impedance as it doesn't take much to load down the oscillator. It will be present if the battery is installed on the board without any other power.

Thanks for the very interesting video, unfortunately you can’t fix them all. It seems like the fan connector was the least of your problem.

It certainly was! I was looking forward to ending the repair with correcting that fan connector.

I normally only work on my own consoles but you can email me at toltecmerc@gmail.com to discuss it.

I have a board with exactly the same symptoms. Interestingly, when power is turned on and 1.8v is injected from the bench power supply to that pin, it will start. However, all USB ports are not recognized. Apparently it seems to be a signal line that controls power sharing to the USB port. All I know is this.

That’s very interesting! Thanks for the information!

Is it worth taking off the apu on case its a solder ball short seeing that the whole board has been abused with a heat gun?

I've seen lots of nasty PS4s and the PS5s may be just as bad.

Do you remember where you got that PS5? I know it was over a year ago so it might be hard to remember.

I do not. I buy from eBay but I don't recall this exact console. It has been a while.

on a good note you didnt have to fix the fan connector.

You can see right away that encoder is off center real bad. Do you prefer low melt or regular solder for tinning your encoder? This board was a mess huh,? Geesh.. did you ever check the 5v(5leg)transistor (I think it's called) it's labeled 15jL.. that one can cause issue and the 3v (3leg) one that's next to it... They're both next to the HDMI port

@ToltecMerc

Жыл бұрын

I only use low melt for removal of ports and some ICs. I tin with some good leaded solder. I did not get to check the 15JL ic. I think that would only make a difference after power on when it would be supplying 5V to the HDMI port pin 18.
