#63 Repair of PS4 CUH-1215B No Power

In this video, I attempt to repair a totally dead PS4 Fat CUH-1215B.

I really love your content. Have been watching many other repair channels and you really know your stuff and it is nice to learn from it.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much!

[@mm0077]

Well done, simple and effective. Thank you again for a good educational repair.

[@ToltecMerc]

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I have to change that fuse too, I've seen people saying it's 16 ohms instead of 0.16 ohms. It's really confusing lol When I check the colors in a calculator, it's saying 16.8 Ohms. Sorry, Im' losing my head ahah. Good fix again!

[@ToltecMerc]

It is definitely 0.16 ohm. I checked a working power supply.

[@Sonic2903]

@@ToltecMerc yes! if I had to trust someone, it'd be definitely you 👍

[@highroyds]

I never understand why manufacturers don’t close their consoles off from bugs getting into their systems. But great video.

[@ToltecMerc]

It may be because they are in the business of selling consoles and they really don't care if they continue working after the warranty period.

[@highroyds]

@@ToltecMerc Very true, they're more concerned about selling more consoles than repairing them or prevention.

[@FedericoSalis]

mmm...lines are of 16,8Ohm resistance

[@consolemods3271]

were can i buy those fuse my master roshi

[@zhuan20]

Hey mate... love your videos!!! I have a ADP-200ER AA. The console did not switch on and did not get any 12v. I changed out DAP41 as it had a short. Now when its cold the console switches on for arround 5-10 or so min and then shuts down. Have no power. Remove the power cable and refit then it switches on for 5 or so secs then switches off. If i leave it for an hour or so it switches on again and stay on for 5-10 min and same story again. Any ideas?

[@aqua1964alessandro]

Today i've seen your video. A 0,16 ohm resistor can be replaced by a 0,15 or 0,18 ohm? Thanks a lot Ale

[@ToltecMerc]

I’m sure they would work just fine.

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks for the visit

[@annefrank1119]

How do you take off the bottom covers ?

[@jonathansandiford4137]

Hey m8, what's your go to suspect for a ps4 power supply that comes up on 12v and shuts down? I have two adp160-er that I restored 4.8v standby on by replacing faulty components, but when I trigger the 12v it comes up and shuts down. Everything else looks good. Thanks for your input and direction.

[@ToltecMerc]

Does the +12V actually come up momentarily or is the supply just shutting down as soon as you trigger it and you never see any +12V?

[@jonathansandiford4137]

@@ToltecMerc it comes up for a moment. I would see 12v on my Multimeter for like a split second and then the voltage will be dropping like a discharging cap. If I check the main caps after that, they would be over 300v, and discharging as well. I would have to disconnect, and reconnect the ac supply to get the 4.8v standby up again. It's alot more life than they previously had (no 5v standby). However I have tested diodes and resistors and everything seems to be OK.

[@ToltecMerc]

@@jonathansandiford4137 what happens if you lift pin 3 or 4 of IC43(opto-isolator)? Just desolder one or the other and carefully bend the leg so it does not touch the pad. Does it stay on?

[@jonathansandiford4137]

@@ToltecMercsorry for the late response. I went down a rabbit hole and just came back up lol. I lifted pin 4 of that EL1013 and I no longer get my standby voltage. Pin 6 of the dap046 now has a voltage of around 11v.(closer to 16v when that feedback pin is connected) I noticed also that when I lift pin 3 of ic52 and ic55, and apply the standby voltage to acdc/standby I can see the 16v being switched over from pin 4 to pin 3 on ic52(the one that sends the voltage to the transistor q41) and the 5v stby stays on. (acin_det drops out)

Amazing vid man 👊🏾

Thank you so much!

🎉thx

[@ToltecMerc]

You are quite welcome!

[@REMEDY-REPAIRS]

Hey, where do you get your 1.6 resistor?

[@ToltecMerc]

It’s a 0.16ohm. It came from Digi-Key. Part# 0.16ACCT-ND

[@REMEDY-REPAIRS]

Amazing vid man 👊🏾

[@hsp1316]

​​​@@ToltecMercyou could add these details in description. Or maybe pin this comment for us to find faster these details. By the way this part number says 0.16ohms 1W. The power supply is 4.8v 1.5A which is 7W. Have you ever had any trouble with these?

[@utchihamadara2225]

what is the value of the fuse resistor and the same on all ps4 psu

[@jonathansandiford4137]

It's 0.16ohm. However I'm interested in knowing the part number, as that resistor is supposed to be a fire resistant type

[@ToltecMerc]

@@jonathansandiford4137 Digi-Key part# 0.16ACCT-ND. It is flame retardant.

[@jonathansandiford4137]

@@ToltecMerc thanks!

[@utchihamadara2225]

thanks man

[@jonathansandiford4137]

When I work on these power supplies, I use a high wattage lamp in series as well as an isolation transformer. The series lamp has definitely saved a few fuses and components, after I thought I had solved all issues and went to test it, only to be greeted with a bright light 😅

[@OTuit]

Thanks for the video!

You're welcome!

Nice work thanks.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you and thanks for stopping by.

[@utchihamadara2225]

good job man

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank You!

[@angelrosado5202]

Can you fix my ps5?

[@albertdavis1882]

Yeah, those roaches kill mosfet’s all the time! Surprised is was just a resistor.

[@ToltecMerc]

Me too. They almost always kill a MOSFET.
