PS5 Digital Repair - Blue light turns on Briefly then shuts off.

[@RandomAudioGuys]

Why I think this video is better than normal. You took the time to show the trouble shooting steps and explain your method of simply tracing the issue down, How to use the NF.Injector tool and a simple way for anyone to see what cap was giving a problem. Also why having a thermal image camera is a must, and let me tell you guys, that macro lens is required to see this tiny stuff. WIthout it all you see is a red area and you cannot make out what cap it is due to low resolution and lack of the lens. Support this man, he is showing teaching at its best.

sir I am from India, I have a laptop Apple A1502, and I face some critical problem. when the battery is 80% up no charging issue and the green and red light is ok, but if goes down battery below 80% this laptop say not charging, but the battery health is ok. Even I check the battery connector voltage of 12.7, and then slowly that voltage is going down to 5 volts and again to 12.7. and battery voltage 11.1. I have little knowledge of electronics. if you tell me the proper problem I think I can fix it. adapter sense line voltage 2.8volts

[@NorthridgeFix]

I'm not aware of a cheaper option to ship internationally. W used to ship via USPS first class but they kept loosing our packages and sometimes took up to 3 month to deliver. We stopped using them. You can provide your own shipping label UPS or Fedex if you wish. Most international customers place large orders, otherwise it doesn't make sense to order just a syringe of flux and pay $59 for shipping.

[@jimmypage407]

Hello, thank you for your amazingly educational videos. got a question, can sudden power outage damage a ps5 in other terms than save file corruption or update if it was in progress?

[@outlet6989]

Here's a unique case you might be interested in hearing. I recently purchased a very expensive 1000-watt TITANIUM PSU from a name-brand company. It failed shortly after installation, and my MB would not successfully POST. I notified the company and requested an RMA. The company asked me to send them a copy of my receipt, which I did. A few days later, they asked me to send them photos of the PSU. One showing the information label, and two showing the security seal, attached and removed. The company didn't provide me with an RMA. They only informed me that a new PSU would be sent to me and I should recycle the failed one. I inquired why they didn't want me to return the one that failed so it could be inspected and for them to let me know what caused the failure. Their reply repeated what they wanted me to do with the failed unit. I'm concerned that the original PSU damaged my MB and maybe other components, like the RTX 4090 GPU, attached to it. Do you have any suggestions concerning what I should do?

[@hamdanali3063]

The guide seems better but the unit t is 3 times more heavy. The guide can charge in 2.5hours (16 hours battery) and the unit t in 5 hours (6hours battery) So I'm thinking of buying the guide but theres only 1 video about it on the internet. Sorry for asking my questions here but I know he has a video om the uni t 260b. Thnx for the content!

[@emmanuelvalmas5648]

So trying to understand the basics of the diagnosis, if the multimeter beeps in continuity (diode) mode it means it's a certain short? Doesn't it need to be measured in resistance mode as well for ohms? Also what's the benefit of using voltage injection tool rarher than the power supply

[@Deploracle]

There will never be continuity between the terminals of a good capacitor, so if the meter beeps ... it's always bad.

[@bloodbath10010]

Voltage injection allows you to send a smaller safer amount of voltage directly near the shorted area(if he has a board disassembled from the ps5 in a ps5 case he can still connect the power adapter to the board but that's much more impractical than using a probe) also continuity and diode mode are 2 different modes. Someone else can explain better I tried 😅

[@OskarBlomkvist]

Beeping multimeter does not mean that there is a short. It only means that it is low resistance. You have to do a ohm reading to make sure it's actually a short. Capacitors near CPU/GPU chips almost always beep when measured with a multimeter due to the low resistance, but they're not shorted.

[@haitz4]

when the multimeter beeps in diode mode, its a dead short, so around 0 ohms. About the voltage injection tool, i guess it's just convinience, i know people that use lab power supplies instead.

So weird that such a small thing can bring down a whole system.
