This literally just happened to me about an hour ago and it’s very frustrating lol tried different HDMI cables. I unplugged it waited a couple minutes, Nothing works so this must be the problem for me.

Great watch. Love seeing repair done from a different perspective i.e using the solder paste 😊👍 Could I please ask what multi meter you're using to display on screen? Thanks 😊

Hey Joey, hope you are well mate. Thanks very much for the view and comment, and for everything you do for the console repair community. Love watching your videos. Multi meter is a Owon XDM1041 - the software is their official release (but is a little flaky and is hard to find) - ping me if you have trouble finding their software and I will send you the link.

All good this end thank you! Appreciate the name of the multi meter, just invested in a Fluke 115 but really think people would benefit from readings on the screen very much like yours! Will shoot you a message if I can't find it, thanks pal 😊@@ConsoleTherapy

i have similar problems it displays on monitor not on tv flickering with noise on pictures snow

What exactly is the HDMI port test looking for, and how do you know the expected value? I'm learning electronics, and have only seen diode mode used to check diodes. It looks like you are measuring directly between ground and the signal pins of the HDMI connector - no diode in between? I'm also under the assumption you can't check diodes while they're still in the circuit, or you get incorrect readings.

Hi Danny - thanks for the view and comment. The test reads the voltage drop from two points on a board, in this case the Retimer IC and ground. I have a list of what the values should be from a known working motherboard, so I simply compare the values and if they are different, it points to a possible issue with the area I am measuring. Hope that helps and good luck with learning electronics

@@ConsoleTherapy That makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to reply!

Sorry bro, can you please tell me if you have any power supply connected when your checking voltages and other things? Do i have to need special equipment to test my motherboard? Or will multimeter show voltages without power connected to console motherboard ?

Hello, thanks for the comment and watch. When testing, put your multimeter in diode mode and do not power on the console or connect the power lead - the multimeter will measure without power to the console.

Cool. I'm new to this field, also one more question. What can measure in diode mode ? These small smd components when you measured encoder were diodes? Or this diode mode can be used to measure much more ? Thanks so much , great video @@ConsoleTherapy

@@user-nf5pw1oh5l Diode mode theoretically is used to check a diode for voltage path, however it will also measure for the voltage drop across two points on a board (does not need to be diode) - in other words, it s a more accurate/effective way for find a short circuit on a board

I done so many ps5 repairs. And encoder. But had a few where no image even after hdmi and encoder. Have 5v. What else could be wrong

I usually check the entire HDMI circuit including all caps and diodes around the port and retimer

@ConsoleTherapy same no luck

Apakah ICnya di ganti dengan yang baru?

Ya, tapi Anda bisa menggunakan motherboard yang berasal dari donor
