    @@antagonizerr yeah definitely, it's always possible that ports can be shorted. The reason I don't really check them on the PS5 is because if you do have a short on the USB ports on the PS5, they're connected to the APU directly (or rather the data lines are) so if you do get a short chances are it would put 5v into the APU and fry it. Every time I've seen a dead APU on these it doesn't even attempt to boot. But that said it is an avenue I could potentially explore :)
