#69 Repair of PS5 Intermittent Power On

[@juanyanez755]

The way you went really in depth is something i havent really seen with other people who fix consoles Suscribed

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I try to explain what I'm thinking and why I do certain things.

[@leonfoxx1595]

I love your vids, thank you

[@leonfoxx1595]

Agreed

[@yoho2chn]

For the value of that Enable line cap, I measured off line at 1.1uF, so you are right😃

[@ToltecMerc]

Excellent! Thanks for the confirmation!

[@kikihobbyrepair]

That was a tricky one but with your right approach you found the issue quickly. Good job again!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@ajaks7636]

Finding videos I missed. A Great Repair and Video! Always Educational too! Thank you.

[@ToltecMerc]

Go ahead and dig back in the archives. There is probably some decent ones in there somewhere. Enjoy!

Awesome repair! I hope my PS5 repair goes this smooth.

[@ToltecMerc]

I hope so too!

[@toolsarecool]

Awesome logical diagnosis! Those MLC caps are the devil…

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! Those caps are cheap and inexpensive, if you know what I mean. They crank them out by the millions without much quality control I feel.

[@toolsarecool]

@@ToltecMerc Yup. And that makes it so crazy, just thinking how many devices are recycled (or not) every year because a $0.001 part went wonky and the labor involved in fixing it is deemed more expensive than simply making and selling a whole new device/appliance/TV/console/etc. „Business is business and business must grow!“ -Dr.Seuss 😎

[@ToltecMerc]

@@toolsarecool it makes me sad. It's so wasteful. Everything is disposable these days.

[@Console_Tech]

Hard and nice find,i ask myself why Sony uses too cheap components,no wonder that they failed. Another enjoyable video thanks.

[@ToltecMerc]

It may be the Chinese company that builds the PS5 for Sony that chooses these cheap caps.

[@Console_Tech]

Yes maybe who knows .

[@jurgenkruger3932]

I think this is the voltage divider for the UVLO circuit.

Could you please give us a reference where to find the pictures with the measured voltages on the board?

[@ToltecMerc]

I have added a link to the video description.

[@Andreas_Straub]

@@ToltecMerc Very helpful - Thank You! Helped a lot to bring my son's PS5 back to life :-) In the end it was another shorted cap (SONY should really use better quality ones) - which was then killing a fuse.

[@mm0077]

Spot on again and well done.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! It was fun!

[@OKWUDILICHUKWUJUSTINE]

Please Sir can you share the pinouts standby voltages please

[@idham_is_here]

I have the same issue. Its won't turn on. I send for repair. But at the shop it turn on as normal. Back home its ok then next day its happen the same.

[@Kabwelason]

Man you are Good.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! You're too kind!

[@ayadsalem]

Very nice work..How can I get blueprints for the PlayStation 4..5. Thank you

[@ToltecMerc]

Schematics are not available for the PS4 or PS5.

[@ultron6583]

my ps5 only shuts down when playing ps5 games...but why???

[@ToltecMerc]

This can be a problem with the liquid metal on the APU. It can also just be a common problem with some failing PS5s. The APU is suspected but it's hard to prove.

[@ultron6583]

@@ToltecMerc so i have to apply liquid metal

[@ToltecMerc]

@ no there is probably plenty on the APU but sometimes it pulls away from some areas and leaves dry spots. This can cause issues. But this may or may not be your issue.

[@dracus6877]

The ps5 is a horribble engineering design. U are an electrical genius!!!

[@brendynelewis6894]

How did you know this was the spot to look? Like what made you pick that IC. this is where im getitng stuck at.

[@ToltecMerc]

I knew where the +5V was generated from working on previous PS5. I was able to find the datasheet which was crucial to determining if the 3219 was getting everything it needed to be able to operate and generate the +5V from the +12V coming into it.

[@Andreas_Straub]

BTW: could you find any reference of the SBV 061 DC/DC converters from TI anywhere - or are these "SONY specials" ?

[@ToltecMerc]

Search for TLV62090

Hi its amazing how its finaly work 😞 i have the same issue = No Beep, no Power on , how i can find the isue or where i must beginn to check the issue ? Please helps : ((

[@ToltecMerc]

Check all standy-by power rails.

[@user-bw5hk5nb3k]

Hio i thx u a lot for the answer : ))) I have found shorts on area F7002 there are no 3.3v on Rail ( but diode mode is beepin ) and no 5v on the fuse area ( beepin is there to on the Fuse ) When i have a defektive TLV62090RGTR is that the problem to have shorts and no 3.3v and no 5v ? : ((

Hi, good tesson but where can i found schematic for ps5 please ? 😊 I liked your video

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you but no one has PS5 schematic except Sony and they are not sharing it.

[@bradleyxdebruin]

Awesome videos I watch every single one, I'm struggling with board repair with all the terminologies what everything is called and how to measure stuff properly do you have any suggestion of how to better understand board repair. Thanks and I look forward to more videos.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! Watching videos is not a bad way to learn. You might look for some basic electronics videos. Ultimately though you need to get your hands dirty and work on things. Start with something cheap that you don't care much about. As you learn, work your way up to more expensive items. Always be careful around AC line voltages though!

[@bradleyxdebruin]

@@ToltecMerc thank you for the reply I've done a handful of repairs like fixing controllers soldering new sticks replacing a couple HDMI ports I'm just very bad at diagnosing I need to learn that part.

[@ToltecMerc]

Ahhh that only comes with time. After a while, you will start recognizing patterns. You will start noticing things that may not help with your current repair, but will come in handy in later repairs. Little things. Subtle things. A good visual inspection is a good way to start. Best of luck!

[@ryanlawrence8979]

What site did you find that power diagram on for the PS5?

[@NazarKhan-em4gz]

First of all thank you so much for your time and replay to almost every comment… I fix ps5 as well (but not as good as yourself) last month a customer brought a ps5 dead not switching at all.. after checking power supply which was giving 12 volt on board then i disassembled the board assembled it back pressing power button it switched on back gave to customer and after two week they brought it back with same issue… shall I simply dig to that capacitor or do something else? Because my story matches yours or shall I do more finding on the board? Please save my refund 😊😊😁😁

[@ToltecMerc]

Hmmm. It sounds intermittent. You might change to power supply out just to eliminate that. Then you would need to run it with covers off to be ready to check voltages if it shut down. It could be so many things! You need to catch it in the act.

[@Mask1D]

good work!

[@orion310591RS]

Heh... If I tell you that I work on machine worth 100.000 euros, that have literally around 650 pcb boards, and I have the same problem like you, Intermittent missing 5V, occuring totally random, any advice how to find it? :D I spent like 7 days trying to isolate the problem... :) It literally defies all logic and all my knowledge :D

[@ToltecMerc]

If it truly is made up so many pcbs, I would look at how they are connected. The wiring connecting it all.

[@orion310591RS]

@@ToltecMerc Machine is 6meter x 2meter in size. Regarding capacitors, should I treat coupling and decoupling capacitors the same? Suspect on both or only decoupling (linked to ground)? or both can create this problem? I have complete wiring but the problem is not constant and this is the biggest problem. Its disappearing. I wish you used oscilloscope, to see if we could see difference with old capacitor and new one. I am literally left with solution to bring oscilloscope and touch every single component. Maybe I hit right timing to see problem.

[@ToltecMerc]

@@orion310591RS if you are suspecting shorts then check decoupling caps since they are connected to ground and they will have DC voltage across them for their entire working life.

[@orion310591RS]

@@ToltecMerc OK, but can you define "check"? (English is not my native language so I may need to ask for clarifications) What kind of checking? Measuring capacitance while in circuit? Measuring resistance while in circuit but with no power? Something else? Quantity is like hundreds...

[@ToltecMerc]

@@orion310591RS test for continuity to ground with your multimeter. Only one side should show continuity to ground during testing.
