Nice

That worked. Saved me some $$, thank you!!

I have a switch lite I'm trying to figure out the issue I have recently got the screw tips I need and the CPU with light pressure applied still wont work

please what's the name of the removed object

Hello, my good friend, I don't understand the video after 18 minutes. Can you explain a bit?

I have the same install, the bright/dim contrast only goes dim but still playable contrast, so not full on/off. Is this normal with this kit? I expected it to dim down to off. I measured the potentiometer value and it goes full range, measured at the screen mod connector.

After replacing the diode the "No AC" warning went away but the screen is completely blank. Any ideas on what might cause that? I put a new battery in as well

Great! Thank you so much for sharing your troubleshooting!! I've replaced the Schottky diode and it is working again. I've used SK16, it is a little bigger than de B160 but fits perfect.

Hey there, I had one of these controllers fail (No AC) after a power surge, and thinking I must have just got a dud, went out and bought another one. How dumb was that? It failed 4 months outside warranty at the end of this season. I found your video, and having never done this type of electronic repair before, purchased a bag of diodes, an iron and some solder, followed your lead, and now I have two working controllers. I needed a win today, lol. Thank you SO much for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill.

hello, nice video. Where is the wi-fi antenna? because it doesn't connect to the internet anymore.

Well done! I’ll send you 2 of mine 😂

Literally the simplest install ever. And ive done funny playing IPS( super hard) and bennvenn a little tedious with the ribbon cable.

What type of air gun are you using this takes a century with mine

You came around. All hail the algorithm!

I just subscribed, good job brother. informative and i like your vibe. :)

Good job 👍

I believe in you champ, post more!

interesting. better check with diode mode for the values on the caps... in this way you will have more fixed value across all boards

The first customer will be happy, esp if you fixed it for free that was a really nice thing to have done. Nice job on that BQ.

Nice fix. Post more please.

Great Job!

oh crap. i didn't ask you if you check the resistance value on the coils for the apu to see if there is a short. a crack on the DIE will surely show a short on the power rails directly connected so if you check the resistances and compare with another board you can cyheck if the APU is still potentially good or not

Thanks mate subscribed, curiosity got the better of me and I killed a working ps5 slim after watching computer boosters Friday stream. EDM-040. He had a 2 second blod. I thought I would check around the area where he had shorts. Was checking stand by voltages then tested power on voltages only to find now I have also have a 2 sec blod and shorts all over the same area around the SBV and a few other areas. Anyway pretty pissed if that I broke a working console. Using Cod3ers Uart tool I’m getting the dreaded 8081001, I don’t see how I could have killed the APU by checking voltages? Anyway if you feel like helping his ps5 repair starts at 4:33:46 kzbin.infoh3UHjWCwys4?si=mOsa1H1kSGECd-_V I also made a post on Computer Booter/forum-discussion discord to see what he thinks ? I saw your video from 5 months ago on the ps5 with various error codes including 80810001 and you fixed it with a HDMI ic replacement? However I’m only getting the one error and shorts in a completely different area? Oh well these ps5 and crazy and at least I now have an experience parts board. No many people have worked on the slims.

Thanks for the video, the APU to me does look least damaged so probably a reball will not work, still you did what you could and traced down the fault which is all you can do in this situation.

18:40 there is a cap missing and that is a dataline but i don't know if that was the donor or the board you were trying to fix for now to me looks like a sort of ssd issue. i really hate this system made from sony. you can't be sure if it is an ssd issue because is soldered and you can't pull it out to see if at least the console can boot and say the message "cannot find the storage disk" . the console is not going into safemode probably because is constantly try to load the software from the ssd. or can be a connection issue then yes under apu. but to me is unlikely. i mean... solder mix nowadays are pretty strong and durable. there is no guarantee obviously but if the console was not dropped or suffer from heavy overheating issues is unlikely to me. another good thing that i miss from ps4 is the terminal where can show you the boot process and if there is any error also there. like load bios error or other stuff to point you into a direction. is not a bad thing reball the apu, because you can rule out completely those "shrodinger balls cracked or not who now?" but if is not that the problem you can end up having a cooked APU and at that point is GAME OVER

Thank you for the video! C0020303 is always directly APU related from experience, reading many threads on discord. I really liked the indepth diagnosing steps you went through. I would really like to see a ps5 apu reball but its honestly not gonna work, as you can see visible damage to the apu :(

Ever look at that trace?

lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 look a bit beaten up... but definitely the perfect console to have some extreme experiments.

Very easy to follow video thank you, just a quick question. The bottom side of the diode, (the side where it said D2) that is ground isn't it? can't seem to see any circuit leading away from it, so guessing it is straight to ground on the PCB. Thank you

I like your videos as you show your thinking and it is like watching an exploration happening on a circuit board. Thanks for posting this I was hooked until the end wanted to see how things worked out.

Nice video, that soldering on the screen connector looked tricky but you did a nice job on that.

Sir, you should be commended and congratulated for your troubleshooting, diagnosis, and repair skills. I had the same issue with my controller. I watched your video a few times, ordered the part through Amazon (next day delivery), replaced the part on the controller, and it now works again. Wow. Thank you for your time and effort to make this video; I am very grateful. A couple of things: 1) wondering what the root cause of the diode failure is; any thoughts?, and 2) do you think that the replacement diode will be robust and not fail like the original one? Thank you again (a proud owner of 99 Schottky diodes :)

Excellent thanks. Had this issue on an orbit 6 station controller and unfortunately threw it away. Bought a replacement 12 station unit and alas the same issue on this one 2 years later.. Found this video....spent $1.00 at the local electronics store and replaced the shottky and she all works. Would have cost me A$290.00 to replace again otherwise.

Absolute legend!! Thanks for posting this video! Had two separate controllers stop working within a month of each other and was dreading having to spend lots of Aussy dollars replacing them. Few bucks and a couple diodes later, problem solved! Never soldered in my life before, you made it too easy.. I used SS16 1A 60V Schottky diode off Amazon which worked on both controllers. And now I'm armed with a soldering iron walking around the house looking for things to melt..i mean mend.

Just replaced the caps in mine and it still turns off when you turn it on same as before replacing caps. You can see the sega legal disclaimer on the screen before it shuts off.

Defeat is good it is how we learn and improve and this one was always going to be super tough if not impossible. You did what could be done, this video also shows that you are genuine and post your fails as well as your wins. I wish you had kept me guessing though rather than tell me up front in the video title, I will always watch till the end win or fail I enjoy guessing how things will turn out. Here is to the next video thank you for the content.

ya it one the 8 tabs that are the outside connector at less found something just checking

ya just boult n64 console at video store the day had bent cartage connecter fix was bent tab on the outside cartage connecter fix by bend back i noteced on your it was bent use pilers and flat srew driver had same problam fixed not say its the same problam your haveing

OH GOD! hope you didn't spent too much on that

hello everything is fine ? Could you help me? I have a one s, which is not showing an image! I changed the ci hdmi u8b2 and still no image!! I found 5 volts on pin 18 of the hdmi connector, on pin 19, with the cable connected it gives 2 volts, is this voltage on pin 19 correct?

Thanks for the video, I enjoy watching things being fixed.

Good job. It's already 100 tines better. Can't wait for part 2

Video is way drawn out. A lot of this stuff could have been edited out.

Whats your microscope setup

Its amazing a computer being 30 years old still works perfectly. Lets see current computers work in the next 30 years.

Now you should measure again those 2 chips involved in video creation with your oscilloscope. I'm waiting for a followup.

is hard to make videos when you try to buy faulty items and they come perfectly fine LOL. but i learn a thing. even if the video i short and non conclusive people still watch it to see your experience. and you can also combine multiple videos in one even if they are not a fix. testing stuff is still enjoyable to watch. at least for me

Just copy and reflash original bios, it worked for me! i got the same error when i tried to modify other dump from a working identical system. everything worked fine until i tried to update the sistem.

@probablycantfixit6426 Thank you for posting your video. I followed your instructions and it helped me fix my irrigation controller. Thx 🙏

So is the program not reliable from your prospective sir? I really wanted to hear an opposing opinion about program so I can get aware of it in the future?
