PS5 Repair - Turns on for 2 seconds then immediately shuts off

[@rheography]

I despise how effortlessly Alex can swiftly locate shorts. When I initially began following this channel, I had absolutely zero experience. However, through dedicated viewing, I can now label myself as a beginner. From my personal perspective, this KZbin channel is unquestionably one of the most exceptional platforms for learning. I wish to convey my heartfelt gratitude for all the videos, Alex. Your teaching is genuinely remarkable, and you've sparked inspiration within me in innumerable ways. With hope, I aspire to attain a similar level of efficiency as you one day. Furthermore, I've observed that Alex might have intentionally amplified the volume of the ending theme song, possibly as a response to those who expressed disapproval in the previous video. LOL.

[@tylermcnally8232]

I really think despise is not the word you meant. Resent would be far better since you praise him in the rest of the comment.

[@slipspectrum9253]

He teaches you to troubleshoot 80% of issues, but he really doesn’t teach you electronics or how to troubleshoot those other 10% of issues… Alex is wonderfully entertaining, but he does make it look way easier than it is.

[@bballer10]

Yeah this guy knows how to explain well and keep it smooth.

[@blugoose86]

People will view this and think, oh how simple. They don't think about the nightmare the first few were that you gained your experience with. Great video Alex! Thanks for sharing.

[@P3ac3806]

What people fail to realize is that they are paying for your knowledge, not how long it takes. They are paying you for something they could not do. Great job!!

[@VincentVonDudler]

I think the real thing people fail to realize is in terms of the repair Big Boss is doing like 85% of the work offscreen. Proper disassembly / reassembly and the initial troubleshooting of these devices before it hits Alex's desk is no joke. Not to minimize Alex's efficient efforts and expertise. I think comments like this actually minimize the entirety of the effort that goes into a repair like this as it only references the troubleshooting benchwork. Amazing work. Amazing video. :D

[@LumenPsycho]

You're not paying for the time it took to fix it. You're paying for the time it took to learn to fix it. Good work.

When this person get PS5 ther not gonna be writen. xxx˘for my time tiching you how to fix on KZbin bot its gonna be writen something like: xx$ for parts, xx$ for material xx$ for time we spend on fix and so on.

"SAY HELLO TO THE BAD GUY!" - LOVE IT! GREAT REPAIR!

[@TheKec789]

Alex, curious WHY so many electronics see to get shorts like this? Dirty power? Not using proper surge protection? Crappy components? Product abuse/misuse? I ask because I hardly ever have electronics go bad. Yet, I have friends who seem to always be needing something repaired or replaced. Maybe a combination of things?

[@mornax]

If space is precious, engineers may have to use caps that run closer to their limits, raising the chances of an already marginal cap to fail. But eventually, some caps die even if the circuit provides a lot of margin.

Found your channel last week and loving it. Where do your donor boards come from?

[@AamirZ]

Problem is, what is causing those cap’s to short?

[@ejeckk]

I recently saw a video where the narrator has an interesting take on doing job or service for a customer. Paraphrasing: 'The cost a customer pays is not for your time. It's for a result.' The money is for your decades of experience and training on how to troubleshoot and fix a customer's problem. Whether you fix the problem in 3 minutes or three hours--depending on the type of work--is irrelevant. It's the result that matters. And the cost for reflects your ability achieve that result efficiently.

[@thomashenden71]

Hey, you were saying you were coming back from " Big boss" to end the video, but you ended it at "Big boss"’s workstation already, meaning the video was shortened even more by even a few seconds - we want our seconds back with a longer video the next time! 😂

Modern componant failure particulary smd cap's as you say 80% shorts in most cases' also they're big brothers electrolytic's ect' but i will say the older electronics ( pre smd's & IC's ) had a better longevity , working on 70's Audio & Band Pa's and heads caps & resistors were easy to locate when failed ( after many years ) but now you have SMD's you barely see with the naked eye , makes me wonder when a componant fails after only a hundred of hours of duty , is all this minature componants the way to go ??

Special Reconnaissance member Big Boss skillfully breaks through case enemy lines, extracts motherboard and returns to hand it over to special operations expert Alex. Alex analytically interrogates the motherboard, determines the guilty culprit and conducts micro surgery with the hot tweezer secret weapon. Alex hands motherboard back to Big Boss who crosses the case enemy lines again to restore the motherboard to its rightful position. From a safe distance Alex and Big Boss gather observation intelligence and determine that one more world disaster is averted. Alex and Big Boss are an amazing team.

Don't like the fact that tiny cap. Can short down the whole tower giant ps5... Sony should however give us portable and durable ps5 consoles... Nice touch Northridge...weldone sir

[@6pack1204]

What value cap do you use if you don't have a donor board ?

[@mornax]

Failed caps usually belong to a VR, which tend to have more than one cap straddling the same two points. If it has no neighbors, another similar VR may work. Worst case, he asks us.

[@Redex-wx3zb]

I took it to a professional and it was working normally the day after I got it and knows it’s doing the exact same thing

I suggest that You take measurements of the caps You re removing from donor boards SO if You run out of replacements You know the value.

My question would be why are these caps always failing? Poor design? Also how many hours are on those donor board parts? I think I’d prefer new parts.

[@mornax]

Newer caps can be just as prone to premature failure. It's impossible to know how long any given cap will last.

[@primotripleta7649]

Why using a used part? If that is a issue from all the PS5 that means that is going to happen again by using a used part.
