I Risked My Life To Fix This PlayStation 5!

Hi everyone. Here's a link to the thermal cam I use just in case you want one for Christmas. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ex1S3NR

[@davidstrider2007]

I purchased this last night buddy. Going to sell my Flir One Pro haha

[@danielpowers5891]

Hi new subber. If ita not too much to ask can u pleass try and get captions for all your videos? Thanks.

[@abglonerenjer3867]

Hi... Do you sell the sic655a drmos? I need 1pc for my ps5 edm-030 board...

[@jamiecruickshank9697]

EEVBlog recently posted a video on how to use a Multimeter to discharge the capacitors, its a lot easier than using the resistor in the video. It's worth checking out the video.

[@Archate]

Dude you dont need to clickbait i press like before even watching the video😂

[@RectifiedMetals]

As a tech for tube amplifiers, I get lit up every now and then. Sometimes there’s a bit of storage when you least expect it. It’s a shocking experience. Switch modes store between 170 to 340 volts. I made a discharge wand with a brass rod and 470 ohm 10w resistor. It’s slow. Y’all be careful with the small resistors. Could be a shocking experience.

[@ajaks7636]

Great Repair, and no Injury or Death! Awesome Video Too! Thanks.

[@DracoMcGuyver]

Phil, Wouldn't it be great if you could just snap your fingers one more time and the console is fully repaired? Actually I am learning a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I learned yesterday from another You Tuber that if you set your multimeter to ohms and measure across the live cap that it will drain the cap fast without damaging your meter. After doing that then check voltage and it should be drained enough to be safe. That You Tuber was EEVblog.

[@enigmaticmf]

Yeah, but someone also commented above that he thought that very same thing and it blew up his meter. I'm guessing it all depends on which meter is used.

[@DracoMcGuyver]

@@enigmaticmf Be sure to check the rating of the meter. The voltage on his cap must have been super high. I have never had a problem even my cheapest meter.

[@LordLucifer95]

I want to start to fix consoles I'm a computer technician but I don't repair broken motherboards Should I start on a ps3 or ps4 console? Something like a broken hdmi port to start? Great video 📹

[@perkulant4629]

grab a cheap pair of meter leads and wire them to a power resistor, less sketchy then.

[@ncc17701a]

In cases like this, plastic tweezers might just be your friend!

[@NeonGenesisPlatinum]

Another great video mate. Out of interest which has the higher failure rate ps5 or xbox series x. Just interest which comes across your bench more often.

[@stevedebeukelaer1424]

Hi Phil you know you can asfely dsicharge capacitor with multimeter. I do it years so . I did it when I worked on tv tube sets. Set your multimeter few seconds on ohms mode or if you lovz mode you can use it. Or use lamp bulb.

[@saifellah333]

I hope you put lights on the desk, it's a little dark Nice video, keep up the good work

[@Sir2ofLitre]

Interesting stuff, thanks.

[@AcidzDesigns]

I risked my life by watching this video

[@TheCod3r]

You will when I catch you 😂

[@tamzy4825]

Hahah 😂😂 did ya have to crouch down on a power line, or wire ya phone into a light ? You in prison 😮 i had to do that other yr 😂 .or was ya starlink dish 📡 wobbly , can be a fu#@#@ that ....😂😂😂😂😂

[@Archate]

F *** in A 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@rickchowsr2532]

😂😂

[@OldPoi77]

set the multimeter to ohms mode and that will drain any high voltage caps using the meter ;)

[@andygardiner6526]

Would have been interesting to see how hot the good IC ran to compare to the duff one.

[@leewright6101]

use a lorry 24v bulb over 450v caps discharges very quick buy some cheap avo leads use them soldered to bulb, as bulb shows it light up and discharge,, optical as well. as resistor u cant see when discharged,

[@surfy4860]

What do you do with the PSU's you fix?

[@jesusarmando2209]

Hello I have a Ps5 that had a bad HDMI IC Chip shorted, replaced it and now im having picture only at very low resolution (Safe mode) what can it be? Please

[@syn80]

A capacitor discharge tool would be a good investment 🤔

[@lucianofz788]

just use a screwdriver

[@NaN_INF]

Instant KABOOM😂

[@lcd8927]

U could do with some rubber tweezers

[@cytechelectronics]

That's very good news about the boardview where can we download it?I did not find it on Discord 😕

[@jeffcole5708]

Caps can make for a bad day. Used to charge a big one with a mega and replace the car keys in the pocket. As long as they don't have a bad heart or pace maker good for a laugh, before H&S.

[@mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis]

I have the same morals as you,as a computer technician,i won't repair laptop power supplies ! nor pc power supplies,for exactly the same reasons you stated ! i just get/order new ones and explain to the customer/client exactly these reasons.

[@CompaGoon]

in your thermal camera how are you not getting reflections from the solder joints or any metal?? causes me to think something is hot when its not

[@TheCod3r]

The Infiray is a high quality camera, but it's all about angles. I tilt the camera to prevent reflections. Here's a link to it if you want the one I have s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ex1S3NR

How much do you charge for a repair

[@3ZIO87]

Hello my friend, can you make a video explaining what tools and equipment a person needs to become a repair professional like you? Thank you 🙏🏼🌹

[@TheCod3r]

I can try when I get some free time

[@3ZIO87]

Please do 🙏🏼 take your time ​@@TheCod3r

[@PCEYTube]

You need to focus more on replying to customer's emails from your website than creating clickbait videos. Clickbait headings on your content will get you nowhere eventually. People are sick of these. PS5 PSU REPAIR would have brought you much more just like customer communications will. Thanks for the video.

[@TheCod3r]

It takes me 15 seconds to write a title. It takes me several hours every day to respond to emails. I repair things, make videos, sell parts and look after a family including a disabled child. Cut me a little slack dude. Yeah I'm a few days behind on emails, but I'll get to them eventually. It's also Christmas, the busiest time of the year., and my customers find me through youtube. Everything works together or not at all, so I have to make videos to get emails in the first place...

[@RetroMyBits]

You gotta risk it for that biscuit!

[@intel27100]

How about repair pc graphic cards?

[@wxfield]

A Tip for Cod3r; Most all multimeter's since the late 80's have safety resistors on the Ohms meter. If you hold the probe on the power caps and turn the meter to Ohms, it will drain the caps out right quick. No need to play fiddly games with an external resistor.

[@jediknight2350]

i thought that and send my multimeter into orbit.

[@prep4medical-te8nz]

​@@jediknight2350 Try unplugging your mains first. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jediknight2350]

Lol yep. Well, gotta clickbait the video for the algorithm 😂

[@fakaktagoiym]

I tried snapping me fingers but I still cannot get into me PS4 to give it a proper dusting! Is this only a PS5 feature, what!

[@njakts]

I doscharge caps with moist tissue, rag, qtip. Just be sure your hands are not in the same wetness 😂

[@VultureUk-Rich]

Good day Phill i think they are designed to fail tbh because it keeps them in money

[@perkulant4629]

Use a 3.3k power resistor to discharge the caps only takes a few seconds. And won't get too hot.

[@Neo_Rain146]

You been risking your life a lot lately for us. Please be careful

[@nejckastelic4532]

sony wants us to buy the ps5 pro so they have programed the ps5 to die 🤣

Why would you smoke a pipe and risk your life

[@TheCod3r]

What the fuck are you talking about?

[@deensedudevonand4115]

hehe so now you wanna be the HAHAMAN for a bit

[@martinnash007]

In the UK we have the benefit of plug sockets with on/off switches. You could benedit from this by having the mains cable powered off when plugging into the power supply under test, which would be much safer for you, instead of powering it on with a "Hot" lead. Secondly, you should invest in a 1:1 isolation transformer (not a variac) if you are going to continue in investigating power supply faults. You are less likely to damage yourself by allowing the ground side of your test equipment from becoming live!

[@antagonizerr]

I truly respect your skill but you really need to change your consolefix ad about taking money. I know you find it funny but it kinda comes off a bit cringy there buddy.

[@andymouse]

Yeah, I hope his pride doesn't get in the way but that AD is possibly in the top 5 of worst. Gently put it out to pasture Phil.

[@DracoMcGuyver]

Also, Why is the money shown as US currency? Shouldn't it be UK Pound notes?

Oh no, not another shocking vid ?

[@TheCod3r]

Maybe 🤭

[@yuckfoo248]

Risked my life for views lol zaaap 😂

[@datainoit]

How many mistakes to handle a switching power supply: You really risk your life 1) you power it by inserting the cable 2) you use a 1/4 w resistor to discharge the capacitor (I didn't understand the value) 3) you insert the resistor with a metal clamp from above A) buy an isolation transformer Vin = Vout B) on the input put a 100W light bulb in series with the transformer C) on the output insert a light switch D) prepare two tips with a 20W resistor E) discharge the capacitor on the solder side

[@mohandmohand2047]

where is static gloves b😅ro

[@Vladimir-hq1ne]

there is no place for those in any professional repar shop. Oh wait... There is, when MoD is the main contractor.

[@AutismusMaximus1]

That's a nice scam you got going "not repairing power supplies", so you can charge the service + power supply and you get to keep the old powersupply to do it all over again. Once a con always a con right?

[@mjc0961]

🤡🤡🤡

[@Crust99]

I myself do a lot of console repairs it's my work for a daily basis. I can say this. Not everyone who repairs things on component level will be fixing power supplies. But in some cases I fix psu on consoles and PC's . Seems like you got a grudge to the man who is great at fixing consoles and doesn't hide his skills .keep the videos going Phil I and daily viewer of your videos

[@AutismusMaximus1]

No grudge, I just stating the obvious. First it makes financial sense (even if he is scamming), second he has the knowledge as shown, third he has the spare parts, even sells them... I like Phil as much as the next guy, but I wont let it slide, if we don't react to the wrong, the wrong will always be wrong and get worst, wrong needs to become right, because of letting it slide so often, the world is in the spot that it is.

[@Crust99]

@@AutismusMaximus1 I accept your point in general about spoting the bad . Just in some cases it better to change a whole part rather than changing a whole lot of separate components. If that's something something I was working on and if I the customer confirmed for a whole part replacement and if a fault happen to occur there is a whole lot of better offers too that I can offer the customer.
