It's not a waste of time. It's rather refreshing seeing the honesty in a repair attempt that goes like this. Not all of these are repairable, certainly not from a point of being cost effective. Cheers, and keep doing what you do!

[@Jimbobs8]

at 17:06 when you replaced the IC the part number was originally 1D7T and was replaced with a Y18K8. not sure if they are the same chip labeled differently or close enough specs wise not to make a difference.

[@jekojelqzkov7084]

Hello, he had explained in another video that there is no problem to replace just another series motherboard but it does the same job, the funny thing is that Joey does not see that he puts the chip in the wrong direction and that's where the problem comes from, and he has already done it once 😅

[@GavinColbourne]

2:14 shows signs of discolouration around the centre of the board

[@RuiRex]

My 2 cents of help :) At 28:04 that 1D7T chip seems to be a linear regulator from 3.3V down to 1.8V. It seems that that left bottom pin is an "enable" pin and it should have 1.8V or 3.3V in order for the output 1.8V to be present. Maybe trace that via to it's origin and see what causes it to not be at a "high" level. Maybe a blown resistor or some other regulator?...

[@marjon1703]

Your persistence is phenomenal! And we're all in the club of putting chips on wrong way round. Great videos!...... PEAS?

[@VladislavBaglai]

Joey, I understand your feelings. Like making things worse during repair and being not able to resolve the initial issue 😔 Done this to macbooks and iphones a couple of times. I am sure you will fix this PS5 after you get more practice and knowledge. Just leave it on the “no fix for now” shell 🙂

[@MrVectrexUK]

What a massive mission that was and so sad about the outcome - how very frustrating! Entertaining as ever to watch you learn as you go...thanks for the videos

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

This was brutal.. so much work but also much learning and entertainment.

[@craig4002]

Feel like the editing has been kicked up to another level hey😮😅. The quality and edits look really slick, nice to see you grow and improve as a content creator. Keep growing, keep working hard, it is clearly rewarding cause we are seeing you reap the efforts you have put in. God bless and all the best with the rest.

[@_Selrahc]

wish i could of caught more of the streams on this ps5, this was good though slowly learning more and more thanks joey. lol wondered why that Y09 grew a 6th tail

[@SteveRand]

22:50 when you said "bear in mind for later that i've swapped this"... I could see it was backwards right away haha

[@xstoneknightx]

I dont know if Im wrong but when you replaced the encoder IC the ground pad doesnt have too much solder. Maybe isnt making a good contact with ground due to the lack of solder.

Great job Joey, win or lose its all good experiences that helpful to you, still frustrated my self with a PS5 i,m battling

[@Paganizernl]

I was shouting at my screen when you placed it the wrong way around xD

[@gravelbags2479]

Why the hell are these things going for 200 quid especially when they've already been opened up, I wouldn't touch these items in a million years, when my wife watches these videos with me the only thing she says at the beginning of each video is "LOOSSSSSSSSSS" 😂 most of the time she's correct, now having said that I'm gonna sit down and watch the rest of this video

[@JoeyDoesTech]

Hope you enjoyed the rest of the video 😁 Agreed, the prices of these currently is silly!

[@gravelbags2479]

@@JoeyDoesTech please stop buying previously repaired items, I'd really like to see you win just so I don't have to listen to the missus saying Lossssssssss every time we watch you 😂

[@SweetLou814]

I have a PS5 with similar issues. No power on at all. Found shorts on hdmi encoder and WiFi if. Swapped components, no shorts but no power. I do not have the 3.3 coming out of that IC going through the board to the other IC that goes to the hdmi encoder. Can’t find any other shorts and as far as I can tell that 3.3 is the only voltage missing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Charlie-nb1xo]

I could never do anything like this, these videos massively impress me but I've watched so many when I looked at that rep-timer chip I genuinely thought that so shit hahaha

[@timmles42]

I like that you edit in the live stream footage; it’s cool to follow a repair across its whole life. If I’m honest, the non-repair is a bummer to watch - real anticlimax. Tough because you spent so much time on it.

[@tonysmith916]

Hi. Just a quick question. I have currently 6 ps5's and other consoles which i have fixed. I am unsure if best to sell as " buy it now" or auction? What do you guys think? Thanks.

[@NeXXyD]

Unfortunate for the PS5 but you gave it a proper attempt! Also PEAS!

[@ajaks7636]

Definitely Not a waste of time. It was and Education. You'll get the next one! Great Video, and comedy gold! Thank You. 😀

[@nathar_ghados]

I've always wondered, how do you know the component code when replacing a part of which you don't have a spare one for? What do you enter on Google?

[@nheather]

My cynical mind reckons that the seller/repairer was a little cheeky - I think they were unable to fix but have enough skills to leave that ribbon cable disconnected so that the console presents as no power, no lights, no beeps - which as you keep telling us, is a desirable, optimistic, set of symptoms for would-be buyers.

[@GrandizerGo]

Are 1DT's the same as the YK0's? I would swear I saw 2 instances where you removed a 1DT and replaced with a YK0.

[@imqqmi]

I wonder why you don't use an oscilloscope to check if there's a signal coming into the encoder chip and out of it. That would save you a lot of needless swapping of chips.

[@TravisArndt]

Did you end up swapping the port? I know it looked good but it’s an easy swap just to rule out.

[@jackieneto]

Have you tried swapping the power supply?

[@Vizjion]

Man that sucks, I was really hoping that you fixed it 😢

[@urobocool9063]

Balling

[@FixItViggo]

joey you growing a stache?

[@jonmarler]

This looks like a broken trace to me … I know you’re looking with a microscope, but I’d be comparing traces with a donor board, or better, a working board. Especially since someone else was in there that obviously didn’t know what they were doing. It’s a shame we don’t have schematics for these things yet.

[@frozerinosrepairs]

Great video again 😄😄😄

Apologies not needed pal . Keep doing what you’re doing . You wouldn’t learn if you didn’t make mistakes just remember that 👍🏼 Your content is a joy to watch….

Almost everything previously repair attempted for sale on eBay is absolute junk

[@ronny332]

Is there a reason, why you dropped the S1Exx in the title of the video? Was much easier to find a missed episode just by remembering the last seen number 🙂

[@andreibuta247]

i enjoy your videos and your attitude but i would mix it up a bit , and for the spread sheet it would help to see some tv's , monitors , laptops and other gadgets , rathere than sam old same old ps5 :D

Great Video Joey.. I must admit though.. nothing beats giving you a hard time about backwards components when you're live ha

[@adriannp.]

22:43 Lmao 😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrKanejoe1]

Hi Joey. I enjoy watching your videos, but I do have a minor nitpick with this series. I started watching the series somewhere in the 50s. Near the end, you show whether the item was fixed or not and potential profit/loss. The problem is that if you see the list, you know that the last few repair attempts were successes or failures, so it removes some of the interest in watching the previous videos if you are just tuning in.

[@TechTronics7]

Good video but you did way too much. You changed so many things, so many times, it is hard to even know if they were faulty or not. Or you damaged them later. Your first bet should be to test the hdmi port with a breakout board to determine if the port is faulty first. Then test the hdmi encoder data and filter lines, caps for shorts or opening. Then I'd consider replacing stuff. You might have spent all that time just because of a bad port or cap. Also I'd avoid consoles that have been opened before as those on Ebay are most of the time unrepairable and should be bought for parts.
