In this video, I attempt to repair an EDM-020 that was sent in by a viewer of the channel. Can we bring it back to life?

This is not good, this is not great, this is the BEST PS5 repair channel. Awesome job. Keep it up!

[@patrickauer6958]

Thank you for not cutting it short. Even the "small" things make a difference in learning what to look for and how to fix it!

[@taltechchip5827]

Great ending 👏that little capacitor 360 rotation spin was a victory celebration. Same with car racing when you finish first place👍nice job!

[@ISquishWorms]

This was really kind of you to work on a viewers board, they could not have sent it to a more competent technician. Some good analysis and shots of you working on the board in this video, thank you. Stayed to watch you replace capacitors, made me laugh at the end when that capacitor did a 360 while you were soldering it.

[@Discretesignals]

You definitely make it look easy! Great fix and I bet Robert is going to be happy as a clam.

[@johnHAMMOND-l3u]

if my ps4 ever died i wish i could get you to repair it you do such great work on saving these consoles

[@chrisfeaka4250]

When you bumped the wifi to hard, I was feeling your pain! Enjoyed watching that trace through cheers!!

[@davidstrider2007]

Another great vid sir. Great troubleshooting and nice recovery on re-seating the wifi module. Have a great weekend!

The channel that big boss uses to learns from and Alex wouldn't admit it

[@teejmiller]

My wife asked me why I am watching George W. fix PS5s... I can't unhear it now. That's funny..

[@ajaks7636]

Very Educational, and Highly Entertaining! Squirmy wifi/bluetooth module. Great Repairs and Video, as usual. Thank You

[@mostafamarzaq]

Were you a teacher at some point? Because your videos are so educational and fun to watch❤ Keep it up

[@jeremiahgreer4735]

[@fouadmida2230]

that was a hard one nice work as always keep it up.

[@winlose3073]

That was a great vidoe thanks for sharing the info and your interesting and systematic approach, that was very enjoyable video !

[@techtronics7]

Is it me or did you upgrade your microscope camera? It is very clear today.

[@keithsmith7031]

OMG thats 3 vids this week, Thnxs Master T 😃

[@SkySky-zr3bt]

Impressive you found the error! You've lost me in this 🙂. When you resolder Bluetooth chip what temp and airflow did you set?

[@Daveyk021]

You didn't show, but I assume you tested the wifi capability after replacing the module?

[@dazamad]

When you mentioned it was a good but banned board. Do you mean unable to play online? Didnt know yhat was a thing

[@ToltecMerc]

@@dazamad yes it is banned from online play by Sony.

[@stoyantsalev3109]

Wondering about the practicality of such repair... Basically, replacing 2 specialized ICs that aren't likely something you could just order online, so you'd need a bunch of donor boards lying around. And no matter how good you are, this is in no way less than half a day of work. So how much should a business charge for such repair to be profitable? How does that compare against the price of a second hand PS5 in the US? Just thinking out loud really... :)

[@haakmeer]

great repair again. lets go on

[@dirtybayadventures9563]

Awesome job

[@baghdadiabdellatif1581]

Great work 👌👏💯👍

[@sammydavis3796]

Awesome video sir

[@bunnylove273]

hey this may or may not matter but l did see a burn mark on the chasey didi you check that too?

[@ToltecMerc]

@@bunnylove273 the chassis was from another dead PS5 that had a burned PCB. It was only used for testing the PCB as the owner did not send a chassis.

[@nightstah]

Goodie another PS5 repair vid!

[@TOMelectronicsfix]

Good work

[@brucewalker1908]

My confusion is what is North Bridge and the South Bridge?????

[@ToltecMerc]

The South Bridge is a kind of secondary processor. It's no where near as powerful as the main processor but also uses a lot less power. It's job is to handle some of the tasks that need to be handled at all times such as being in standby mode and the initial startup of the console.

[@brucewalker1908]

@@ToltecMerc thank you now I have a better understanding

[@muratrisvan]

Thanx master ❤️🇹🇷

[@argee99]

For the algo, thanks...

[@josef19dz]

First again 😂😂😂 Hello Master 😅

[@XRepairs86]

@ToltecMerc is there a way to contact you outside of youtube? Got a few questions for you regarding PS5 repair.
