To anyone considering watching, this one is a diamond in the rough. To the creator, thank you very much for sharing this articulate and concise analysis. Your exceptional work provides an astounding amount of insight into the processes occurring within the PS5 power supply, and switch mode power supplies in general, to anyone possessing only a basic understanding of the properties of the various individual components involved. And it does so within only a couple of hours. For me this was, both figuratively and literally, a game changer. Very much appreciated.

[@Ilegator]

Infinite thanks for this analysis. This content is priceless. I've been studying SMPS the last month and you dropping this video is just amazing for me. As a tip for anyone watching, I realized it's much better to follow the video pausing to read everything and then play the video and stop reading. Otherwise, at least for me, it's much harder to follow what you say. I'm amazed that you'd share these great guides for free, what an amazing job. It's also funny how toltecmerc really nailed much of his reverse engineering, as pretty much all he says and does matches with this video. Thankfully now I'll start to understand more deeply what he was saying and what he was seeing, as for a newbye like me in electronics, it gets complicated.

Excellent video. Really well explained

[@Pulverrostmannen]

That really was a deep and clear dive into the power supply for sure. The list of tools is useful but I actually think many workshops don´t even have all of them, I have everything and more except an electronic load or discharge tweezer, I just use other methods for that. as a mention it is also important to note that you are not really safe when you have an isolation transformer, if you manage to touch phase to neutral within that circuit or even ground to live if your tranny has a center tapped isolated ground you can get a shock anyway. But it provides more safety to get a shock from the mains voltage supply to ground. But many trust it too much I think

[@fixmyappjim]

Thank you for your nice feedback and extra information about the isolation transformer. Thats why we have to take all safety tips seriously and not assume that it is safe. Gr. Jim

[@Pulverrostmannen]

@@fixmyappjim Indeed, and believe me when I say that some KZbinrs make some really sketchy stuff with goal to teach others to do it that way too

[@alarmsquadnj]

Hi where do I get the tools from

[@Pulverrostmannen]

@@alarmsquadnj I got most my stuff from local stores and auction sites. What you need is usually not simply put in one location. You typically need to search in many places to find the right tools for your suited needs and it is rarely one fits all. But but I like to keep my eyes on auctions all the time

[@ngonohtc5724]

Excellent video. I have one PS5 psu that i am working on. the APFC moset and APFC diode tested ok. I have equally replace dap053t ic but PFC not working. I don't know what to do next.

[@fixmyappjim]

Hi i would check if there is a PWM signal present dat drives the gate of the APCS mosfet, check with an oscilloscope if present then the problem could be on a different place in the circuit. Gr. Jim

[@leventozcan4595]

It was much better in the old days where you had simple linear transformer with a fuse and a capacitor, it requires master degree to understand smps circuitry

[@fixmyappjim]

Hi i agree but the two cons of the simple transformers are: inefficient power delivery and also the weight of the transformers :). Gr. Jim

[@mart43]

Interessante video, lijkt me een vrij standaard SMP-voeding. Heb je toevallig elektrotechniek gestudeerd?

[@fixmyappjim]

Leuk dat je gekeken hebt inderdaad de SMPS van de playstation is op zich niet zo ingewikkeld en mooier nog je kunt componenten vervangen, sommige fabrikanten vullen vaak een witte lijm waardoor repareren niet rendabel is. Ik heb electronica gestudeerd. Gr. Jim

[@MindFreak-H]

Hi, whats the Hold-Up time of PS5 PSU? can it handle 30ms power switch from AC power to battery backup without turning off/restart?

[@fixmyappjim]

Hi i don't really know but power supply has to be very stable for the microprocessors or else it will go in a reset state. 30ms seems to be too long. Gr. Jim

[@vincenzocurcuruto8246]

HI. I'm watching your video. I disassembled the PS5 power supply and I find 8.8 V DC at the output. Could you give me some advice?

[@fixmyappjim]

Hi, so you have a lower output voltage. There can be multiple causes. First check if the main filter capacitor has +- 390V. Check if PWM driver IC is working Check Optoisolator and the feedback loop Check the voltage reference diode Check the health of the main and secundary capacitors Gr. jim

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

Thank you.

[@fixmyappjim]

Thank you for watching. Gr. Jim

[@charlyb1099]

Thanks, very interesting and detailled. On my case I'm stucked with a PS5 power supply with no 12v output I found 2 mosfets faulty on half bridge => Changed. But still same behaviour. I also found thanks to your tutorial that the main filter capacitors raises to 390v when I start, but drops slowly to 330v. Vcc is 18.5v on TEA2016AAT IC. Diodes values checks are ok around. Finally, I stopped on the resistor fuse with a value of 70 MOhm !! Instead of 0.1 Ohm. The close one to the APFC bost diode and mosfet. Is it a 2w resistor or more ? Mine looks fat, between 2 and 3w I guess. Perhaps it could explain issue ?!

[@fixmyappjim]

Hi, i think your pfc circuit is not working. The fuse resistor is indeed 2 a 3W resistor. It seems you have to replace the resistor and if still not working checknthe pwm signal that goes to the mosfet if it is generated. Gr. Jim

[@charlyb1099]

@@fixmyappjim Quick feedback. It was the fuse 0.1 Ohm my final issue. Now it works, I have 12v at the output 🙂

What kind of Common mode filter coil does it use?

Hi, i don't know you can get it from a donor board or some other power supply as long as the current draw of the wire is not to low for the power supply. Gr. Jim

[@seckinseckin3919]

i understand X and Y caps and what does red ceramic capacitor do in the primary side ?

Hi, this capacitor also filter out noise from the incoming power source. There are different filtering methods and layout of these capacitors but all has the same function to filter out noise and voltage spikes. Gr. jim

[@myfranco]

This is 1st class tutorial/class/explanation i've seen. My PS5 is stuck at PS Logo and i get black screen after that. Could that be PSU issue since PS is getting more voltage after that phase? It turns on well. I can go to Safe Mode too. When i turn it on, i see PS logo and black screen following that. 30-60 seconds later, it turns off.

[@fixmyappjim]

This could be anything. Overheating issue, bad NAND flash, SSD controller, Software corruption, bad power supply that fails under load, maybe reinstalling the firmware can help, a bad RAM memory. Beause the console does turn on and you see a picture all the standby and power on voltages are generated. Thank you for your reply. Gr. Jim

[@myfranco]

Thank you very much for your help. It seems that could be one of many things.@@fixmyappjim
