[@JoeyDoesTech]

Well done mate, great fix. The method you use to explain and teach is what makes the videos extremely valuable. Thank you for the knowledge as always!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much Joey and congratulations on the 70K subscribers! Well deserved!

Great fix as usual! I still need to practice on my BGA!

[@manp]

other than being skilled and knowledgeable, your voice is almost therapeutic. it's like ASMR but with actually interesting content. love your videos.

[@ToltecMerc]

Wow, thank you!

[@ConsoleCraft-eb5xt]

Man your youtube channel is a gold mine to troubleshoot faulty PS5. And the way you find faults is chirurgical, i'm always happy when i see that your post a new video.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the videos!

[@fredb1130]

You explaining your diagnostics as you walk through the procedure is what I and many others seem to love about your channel. Very informative. Thank You. And GOD BLESS.

[@ToltecMerc]

Wow! Thanks for coming along for the ride!

[@ISquishWorms]

Never lost faith, I knew you would find the cause and fix it. Thank you for the video.

You are quite welcome!

[@bartoszk2947]

This one was tricky. Great work as always. Thanks for your time to invest for recording this video.

[@ToltecMerc]

You are very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

[@rory9174]

Man I gotta tell you I'm browned off watching PS5s and Nintendos being repaired. Last time I played a video game was Atari 40 years ago so I don't know why I watch. Would love to see you using your talent to fix useful things 😊

[@ToltecMerc]

I suppose I'm not for everyone. I work on what I enjoy and at the moment that is game consoles. I do appreciate you watching though!

[@Console_Tech]

Another professional job, I thought the DDR 4 is married to the Apu and another few chips! Well done.

[@ToltecMerc]

@@Console_Tech no the DDR4 is not married to anything. It is completely volatile storage so when the power is cut it forgets everything.

[@Console_Tech]

@@ToltecMerc thank you for the explanation

[@mostafamarzaq]

Long time since your last upload, good way you fix stuff i love it❤

[@ToltecMerc]

It's been a couple of weeks! Thanks for sticking around!

[@davidstrider2007]

Great job as always! You never let us down. I am thinking about buying the Kunkin KP184 you use. What do you think of the overall performance?

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank You! I love my Kunkin! I guess there are fancier units out there but it has not let me down yet while testing PS5 supplies.

[@davidstrider2007]

@@ToltecMerc thank you for the prompt reply. I see the KP184 comes with wire and the terminal connectors. But i don't see connectors for the opposite end your connecting direct to the ps5 psu. Where did you source those if you dont mind me asking?

[@ajaks7636]

That was a strange one. Great Repair and Video. Looking forward to your next one. Thank You.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

[@lestermoreno9437]

If you have a bad Ram ssd controller you can see it fire up when apply 12V 1amp with thermal cam also a boot sequense of 150 to 250 is something related to ssd. Great video as always.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you!

[@alexandrevieira3628]

Hi Lester. I have a ps5 that when I have 12v input, the ssd controller gets very hot for a second. The Amp reading goes to 0.300 and back . Should it be from the ssd controller? Cant find no short anywhere

[@mm0077]

Excellent and process finding root cause well worked out. Great to watch too.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MasterJediSean]

Nice job at the process of elimination. But, I had faith you were going to solve this. As you are the Man! Cheers!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! That's kind of you to say!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much!

[@dirtybayadventures9563]

Another masterful job!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks so much!

[@afb9999]

Nice video! I would inject 1.2v on the rail and spot hot components with thermal camera to speed up the process

[@ToltecMerc]

@@afb9999 I did inject. No current draw.

[@borisdg]

That chip is DRAM for the controller and it stores the mapping tables. Just like PC SSD.

[@ToltecMerc]

That's good to know! Thanks!

[@pawloo6]

I have exact same boot sequence but mine is just beeping ones then blue light and turning off (EDM-033). Any idea whats wrong ?

[@ToltecMerc]

It's shutting down. It could be so many things. RAM, SSD, a shorted power rail, APU....you would need to read the UART codes to find out what area to look it.

[@mohamedna3em311]

can you tell us the temperature of the preheater and hot air when you replace ssd , Southbridge

[@ToltecMerc]

I slowly raise the preheater temperature from 120C to about 200C. Over several minutes. I have a temperature sensor stuck in a hole near the chip I am replacing. I normally wait until the board temperature measures about 100C and the I apply 400C from above with my hot air station. The amount of time needed for heating from above varies between leaded and lead-free solder balls. After about 1 minute you should be able to nudge the chip and see if it snaps back.

[@alexandrevieira3628]

Hi! I'm getting 5v on the firt pin (A1) should be 1.2v This is from the DA9081?

good work

[@ToltecMerc]

[@bluetorque2385]

Looks like it’s usually an SSD controller issue when the ps5 doesn’t boot up according to 3 of your videos. Is that accurate?

[@ToltecMerc]

@@bluetorque2385 that is a common failure but so is the South Bridge.

[@bluetorque2385]

Could I possibly send my PS5 to you? I have the exact same issue.

[@Gamehunter4070]

Great job , you can put a link for your tools to earn money 💰

True. I just haven't been very focused on making money which is why I don't accept sponsors or do paid reviews. Not yet anyway.
