I hope the customer does pay. That repair was intense!

Thanks for the longer form video. Creators that are brave enough to make videos of duration should be celebrated, those of us that like/want/need longer content to make it through the day should be making our voices heard. The almighty algorithm isn't right on everything...

Awesome video Phil & props to you for sharing all your hard work in diagnosing this fault. So happy those chips are real so you can repair more consoles.

Fantastic repair, thankyou for taking the time to share the repair

That was a spectacular fix, congrats and thanks for sharing the diagnostics process.

Amazing stuff Phil, love watching you bringing back to life so many PS5s!!!

Phil, you never seem to fail to amaze folks the hand reball process, wicked video, and even though the customer might not want to pay, it’s more knowledge in the kitty for you and next time you might be spending only an hour on it! Nice job dude!

Love your additude towards repairing stuff!

freaking awesome dude! watch alot of yb-solids and repair on different pcb's but u are both rly good and fun :D Ive been reparing alot stuff in my life, phones, computers, drones etc I dont even have an playstation, but i watch it and learn alot, thx mate!

Fantastic work Phil , congratulation you are awsome. Keep up the good work . Regards from Belgium

Damn it's so satisfying when you successfully fix a console keep up the good work

All Thumbs Up for this job... Good work.. Consistency & Precision.. Awsome.

Nice one geezer, loving your videos.

Your work is absolutely unreal mate keep up the good work 👏

I was searching ecsatly for a video like this One, where you can follow and understand every single part. I'm now approaching electronic fixing and I've got 2 PS4 to repair for myself, I will never thanks you enough, Google should has to pay much more people like you

Stellar work and super interesting video to watch!

That’s why I have my PlayStation five and PS4 Pro hooked up to monster surge protector I paid almost 3 or $400 for it if you love your electronics you should always have a surge protector to protect you against lightning strikes and it being insured through monster power surge protectors they were the best

Dude u well overpaid you can get magnets that clip onto your hdmi for £20 and extension surge protectors which are also covered by your insurance as long as there licensed for £25 for each room, I had a lightning strike it blew my router my ps4 which had every part replaced by insurance before it ran out it was a 3 year what I got when I bought it was connected via ethernet it blew that but was connected to my tv with a hdmi with 2 surge protectors one on each end what saved my tv, now in my gaming room my ps5 and Oled TV were £2500 on there own so I defo trust these surge extensions as they have a side button and when there's a surge it switches off immediately, I sent my ps4 to CEX and said it was unfixable? This was before I found my man here but if your happy spending $400 good on you but surge extensions do just a good a job at a lot cheaper

Good job Phil. Thanks for the video. Really helpful information there. I've had way too many storm damaged ps5s in my workshop last week. And like yourself spend way too much time on them. All with different issues. From blown power supply's to encoders and southbridges. Ps5 are a bit sensitive to power surges it seems. Glad to know those chips are real as I've got some coming from Ali too. Keep up the good work!

AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS MAN!!

I'd say that in case the customer is not willing to pay, you effer to buy the console (at broken price, of course), because it would be a shameful waste to undo the repaair.

Nice job 👍 great to know those encoder chips work, thanks

No complaints from me for long videos amout of Rossmann's live streams I have watched, love seeing the puzzle solving aspect of repairing electronics, hope the customer paid, loving the videos

a very well done bud. thanks.

Great repair.

No no no just because this long video i sub cuz one thing of this its educational n u got the bloody thing working again gj m8

That is bloody amazing stuff, well done! The box near the ethernet port is the magnetics, which are used for isolation. I'm surprised they aren't integrated into the RJ45 port, but maybe Sony saves a few cents making them a separate part.

Hi Phil - Glad to see the edited version of this...watching it live for those hours with you was rough, but I always learn something from your vids. lol Question though, was this video a combo of both PS5 systems? I don't know if I'm missing something or if someone else has already mentioned this, but in most of the video you were looking for a short and you had swapped the South Bridge from a PS5 donor board that you reballed and you mentioned it was the only one you have and if the customer isn't paying you weren't leaving it (for obvious reasons). But then at the end, you mention the chips were real and looking through the comments below and the link to the chip you listed on AliExpress it's all about the HDMI Encoder. So I'm just a little confused..more then normal. hahahahaha So, was this PS5 fixed in the end with the HDMI Encoder or the South Bridge? Thanks! 🙂

Amazing work well done 👏

this man is a mechanical genius

I like you long videos and your live streams when i can catch you live.

Noooo! Not get rid of the sign, it's proper! And true.

Good man sir thanks

Great work on that one! I'll freely admit I had my doubts as to how fixable it was. Also, while not directly applicable to this case, I had a thought about retimer chip. Given the fact they seem to fail so often, do you think they're getting overheated or similar? Would attaching a small heatsink with thermal adhesive/pads do anything?

Man this is something I really want to get back into. I have a makeshift microscope, although planning on getting the trinocular type! Any tips on boardviews, software for them and schematics would be super helpful. Often I find it hard to repair something if I can't diagnose it. Recently discovered the channel after watching TronicsFix and gotta say, I love your channel, super informative and helpful!

I'd watch the unedited video tbh, no complaints here 👍

Should always use a good quality surge protector plug and unplug when not is use will also save you money

Yo, good work! The same problem it starts all voltages present and south bridge seems to be ok. I got only beep signal and blue light, 5 sec after it shuts down. But after 10-20 attempts to run, it showed image and says software update 70 .. 100 and switched off. And starts the same only for 5 seconds. I checked all fuses no short line and nothing got hot. I saw winbond spi rom right behind south bridge you changed. Do you know can I program spi chip? And what dump I should to use? Thank appreciate
