The only long videos (duration) that I watch with pleasure, concentrated from beginning to end, prepared to appreciate that fine sense of humor so characteristic of yours and also because I always learn something; They are what you make. Excellent double repair. A sincere congratulations.Thanks a lot for sharing. All the best.

[@ToltecMerc]

I appreciate you taking the time to watch, and I'm glad you enjoy them!

[@ISquishWorms]

A little more than a fuse this time, nice job on that QFN I struggle with those and need to practice a lot more. Your videos are packed with useful information and tips for others trying to fix these, I don't though as I do not have the expertise and would probably end up wasting money buying broken PS5's off of ebay and just not be able to fix them. I would try fixing my own though if I had one (which I don't) and it broke. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and posting the videos I enjoy watching them esp the longer ones.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the longer videos, not everyone does.

[@toolsarecool]

Educational, interesting, entertaining, inspiring, riveting, … the list goes on and on. I doubt there’s enough broken PS5s for this to ever get old for me. 😎

[@ToltecMerc]

Wow! Thanks! I'm glad you like these repairs as much as I do!

[@winlose3073]

Awesome repair well done Sir👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@daga1974]

Enjoyed the video, nice that you didn't speed the video up though the actual soldering. Thanks.

[@ToltecMerc]

Some times I speed it up, others I don't. I'm not sure what people like. Thanks for the visit!

[@03svtsnakevert]

As usual great video!!!! Awesome work!!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[@ajaks7636]

A 2fer. Excellent Repairs and Video! You didn't even shock yourself, like "The Cod3r" did. Death by power supply, is no joke! Thank You.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! I am usually quite careful as I have worked around power supplies for a long time.

[@tommorgan7043]

No matter how many times you open those PSU’s it just never gets easier. Nice fix.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I've gotten pretty good at opening the fat supplies. The slim supplies however....

[@Rigamortis81]

Psu repair videos are my favorite!!!🤩🤩 i hope to be at your level someday!

[@ToltecMerc]

I'm glad you enjoy power supply repair. I do as well. Someday soon you will be better than me!

[@nicolaslacoste9367]

Another time an incredible work. Thanks a lot for your videos.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks so much! I'm glad people enjoy this kind of stuff like I do!

[@Discretesignals]

Awesome and logical thought process repair. I enjoy watching your repair videos.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like them! I have fun making them!

[@mostafamarzaq]

Got the notification for the video even though it's late here i'm still watching it😁

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you for staying awake and watching! I hope you enjoyed!

[@haakmeer]

a great job again, and a long one

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! It was a bit long. It probably could have been edited down some or sped up in places.

[@andreyavias4355]

Great repair. Something new! Thanks for your effort.

[@ToltecMerc]

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@T.K.electronics]

like your videos keep up the grate work... as I'm working on electronics I turn you on to watch in the background!!!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I know what you mean. I do the same thing.

[@davidstrider2007]

Lightning fast troubleshooting. Great work sir. :) Question, where did you source your test leads that you have connected to the KP184? Those are not gator crimps at the end. Looks like they are form fitting to connect to the psu terminals.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I made the test leads for the KP184. They are just some flexible silicone wiring with 1/4" blade terminals on the end. The blade terminals fit nicely into the socket on the PS5 power supply.

[@davidstrider2007]

@ToltecMerc nice! Smart and creative! Thanks!

[@bartoszk2947]

Great as always. Thank for your time to prepare the video and share your know-how.

[@charlesm.1638]

Good job. I feel many repair shops would have automatically declared it non repairable.

[@ToltecMerc]

I think at least one did exactly that. It had obviously had been worked on. Thanks for watching!

[@KorAllRBare]

Here in Ass-Trail-yah I was taught in a specific University soldering set of modules to tin both "all of the PCB chips mating surface and the entire replacement chips surface first, and then using a flux-soaked Solder braid we remove most of the large surfaces followed by applying a small blob on a central corner of the PCB and another small blob diagonally across the mating surfaces on the chip, I was also taught to preheat the PCB before placing the chip down and only put it down when the small blob on the PCB spread out a little to which then the Chip is placed into position keeping the heat on until the chip has been observed to be drawn down and centred... JOB DONE. no need to put the chip under stress by extra heat by man handling the chip down to the Board.. Sorry for nit picking especially if you Americans have been taught differently, otherwise I really enjoy your professionalism and attention to detail. APU 👁👍

[@Console_Tech]

Incredible work

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👏

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks 😁

[@lubinrobles9078]

Nice repair, can you make Dualsense repair ?

[@ToltecMerc]

I have worked on a few controllers but it was just changing out the analog sticks or button membrane.

[@lubinrobles9078]

@@ToltecMerc ah yes indeed it's not interesting repairs it's better when there is a challenge for example short circuits or others 😁

[@baghdadiabdellatif1581]

Great work 👌👍👏 How did you find out that capacitor needs to be checked?

[@ToltecMerc]

I had seen caps in that area short due to lightning damage on previous repairs. I started to check across each one with my meter in resistance mode and I had a working power supply right beside the broken one. The two boards are identical so the readings should be almost identical. Doing comparisons like that makes repairs easier.

[@baghdadiabdellatif1581]

@ToltecMerc Thank you very much for the reply. It is rare to find a capacitor developing a partial short, or rather, a passive component developing a partial short.

[@RectifiedMetals]

Great video with troubleshooting. Do you know what your camera to microscope adapter you have? I have so much trouble getting my video aligned with what I see in my eyepiece.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! My microscope is an AmScope. My camera is a very generic Chinese scope camera. So generic, it does not have a brand name on it. My scope camera and my eye ports do not match perfectly. I have to have a monitor off to the side so I can see what is being recorded in the microscope. The trick is in the adapter piece between the trinocular port and the camera. I have tried several different ones. My current adapter is a .35X model. It is still not perfect but it's the closest I have found.

[@jengen3624]

nice repair 😁

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks 👍

[@TechCommanderRepairs]

Quick question for you. PS5 board that beeps for 1 second with a .285 draw on start up. Uart states a generic fault, probably related to a 3v short No shorts found, all power rails present Any idea what it might be with that amp draw?

[@mm0077]

👌

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you!

[@shakangel666]

Did you know there was a leak with PS5 schematics and many more interesting files for EDM-010 boards? If you can make a video repairing a board using the schematics that you couldn't repair before would make very interesting content IMO.

[@abdomoz7809]

After disassembling PlayStation 4 Slim, the device started emitting three quick beeps and shows a blue light as soon as it's plugged into power. I’ve tried fixing this issue, but without success. Has anyone else experienced this problem? "My PlayStation 4 Slim is having an issue. I took a dump from the Noor chip and it seems fine when the device turns on with the blue light, but the processor doesn't work because it doesn't heat up. I need to repair the device by any means. The device contains an active primary account with games worth $2000, and the client will cause a big problem for me. Please help."

[@melissaash5264]

Toltec I know you’re a busy guy. But if you have the time, I’ve got a ps5 that only pulls .003 amps. I’ve been chasing the short for days. You have any direction for me? Thanks for the video’s too. mmash36

[@ToltecMerc]

If it never draws more than 3mA, something is very wrong. Do you have 5V going into the RT5126/DA9065? Do you have 3.3V and 1.15V coming out of the RT5126/DA9065?
