This PlayStation 5 Problem Is Far Too Common! Can I Fix A PS5 Not Turning On?

there is way too many ps5 dying for sure something wrong with them this is almost 360 all over again if you are fixing this many there is no telling how big this really is

Technical advice: No need to remove entire capacitor, just unsolder one side and move little bit left/right, and you know position of capacitor and place as well but no connection :)

[@MeganBlack-f3h]

Thanks!

[@colinboneham7387]

The push for profit from the console has a knock on effect to cheaper components so easier to fail.

[@TheCod3r]

Yeah sounds about right mate, too much competition and not enough supply

[@captaincrunch1707]

Great repair. Wonder if these are usb circuits or where are these issues coming from. Obviously Sony has messed up here with cheap parts or bad design. Seems very fragile since people aren’t intentionally sticking forks into usb sockets etc

[@fenman1954]

Experience is what the customer is paying for, well done on your knowledge.

[@eathenalexander2836]

Agree ..Sony techs may not even know what the cause might be and just throw next mother board in

[@zackeryhoward9686]

@@TheCod3r I was wondering if you could fix my ps5?

[@gamerX-wk7ct]

alot of the issues your seeing is from the electric coming from where the console is being used most likely its hertz drops or spikes if it's not stable it will cause these problems but won't effect everything but it's a slow killer on tvs and consoles it won't effect a toaster or oven or fridge it's possible but very rare but I have seen this problem in old apartments and old houses especially old rental homes also cheap surge protector can do this to . how do I know been in the electric feild for 26 years seen alot and wiring shortcuts are a big problem with landlords trying to save a buck .

@@hugomatos1999 yes there is a range let's say 60h anywhere between 54 to 64 is okay but 50 and lower or 65 and higher can start to burn up electronics even voltage spikes I've been in many homes where the voltage is ok but to many things tied into 1 breaker as the wires get hot the voltage gets lower and if the breaker is higher amps it won't trip so chances of something burning up or failing is higher and I have seen this many times where a breaker keeps tripping and someone puts a bigger breaker in . causes issues or house fire .

[@TheCod3r]

I have recently seen 245v coming from my sockets regularly. I assumed it was because I'm very close to a substation but I guess I'm wrong lol. I'm not an electrician so it was just guessing for me

@@TheCod3r 245 volts ? I thought in the UK it's 230v 50 hertz ? maybe I'm wrong if not 245 seems high then . have you checked the hertz / frequency you want to see 50 hertz . but if your appliances are 230 v and I'm sure they are and your reading 245 to me that's not good but I'm going off what I know in the US then again the difference is 120 v and 240 v at 60 hertz .

Great vid I think this is the exact problem my ps5 has right now. It has no power at all, no beeping or lights, the controller works but the ps5 itself just doesn’t power on. I’m assuming because the power in my house kept going off while it was on , the fuse got fried .

Where should I start with a short on the 12V? No heat thrown with thermal cam. I assume there's an inductor or something I should remove to tell if the short is on the power side or the CPU side?

[@TheCod3r]

To be honest every time I've had a 12v short it's been where 12v is dead short to the APU. Injecting voltage causes the APU to heat up like crazy. Unfortunately that's the only time I've come across it on the PS5 😮‍💨

[@StevieBGoode]

@@TheCod3r I appreciate the response. I guess I still have some hope since nothing got hot with injection. I'll pull some components and see if I can localize the short. Great content BTW, I watch your channel all the time.

"just to save a few cents per thousand units." Is it that, or can they not get a sufficient quantity of a better one for a somewhat similar price?

[@TheCod3r]

It could be that, but sony have been known to use inferior parts in the PS3 and PS4 so it wouldn't surprise me if it was a cost saving measure

[@TheRealBobHickman]

Don't underestimate the savings. I worked on a product where we re-designed the cardboard insert for a the retail box that was a difference of around a penny per unit, but saved us well over a million in total. Scale is everything. So as annoying as it is for us end users, I understand why this is done. I'm sure we'd all be willing to pay a little bit more for long term reliability, but there's incredible pressure to stay under a specific price, and every fraction of a penny if a huge impact on your profits.

They added more venders for parts (basically same parts just different manufacturers) and the most obvious design change is a cheeper heatsink that's all the PSU that seems to be a issue is the exact same in all versions

What if the console doesn’t light up or acts like it has no power at all no noise when u press the power button and no light up or anything?

[@coladict]

If you think this is a lot of failures for a new console, then clearly you weren't around for the Xbox 360 / PS3 era, or even the initial PS4 / Xbox One era. Both of these new consoles seem a LOT more reliable than their previous two generations.

[@kdmcollectables7576]

This is accurate. Having directly experienced sales of 3 generations from launch of console, this is absolutely nowhere near 1st gen 360 levels of issues, not even close. We have had one ps5 issue from 200+ sold. Dualsense analogues higher though. Especially drift. But not JoyCon drift levels of returns! The 'higher' repair % is likely due to higher sale levels of ps5 to Xbox Series X (especially if pulling Series S from equation) thus you'd see more ps5s. Switch failure returns are higher for us than any console we sell.
